1) If you could go back in time, who would you choose to meet and what would you ask or do?

If it was possible to time travel back into time, I would choose to meet Martin Luther King. What I would do is basically spend a day with him to see the differences his impact on his work he has completed.

2) What is the most confusing thought/question you have ever had?

The most confusing thought i've ever encountered probably would be the fact what I would like to persue for the rest of my life. Something to study on in college, while wanting to enjoy it for the rest of my life. It's still in the works.

3) What is your most prized possession and why?

My most prized possession...probably my car. I come from a Portuguese family where my parents brought me up to work for what I want, and I worked with little assistance from my parents to get my car. This may be my 2nd car, but even though I may be dumping loads of money into it, I love it. My car is a Volkswagen Jetta... everyone hates on it since it's a '91, and a DIESEL. Everyone has their own opinion on cars... mine? I just happend to fall in love with a volkswagen, and then even more with diesel engines. I find it very simple and fun, especially for performance and look. smile

4) What is your favorite book, movie, and music artist (at least right now)?

I dont find myself a lot of time to pick up a book and read... since I lost my license, I have found myself picking up a new magazine every once a month from Barnes and Noble, looking around at books... but nothing really attracts the eye to get me to buy one. Could be because i'm money tight...

Wish we could edit posts..... confused

To finish my last question: Music? Anything but probably stay away from some country and bluegrass. I find myself in more relaxing "chill" rap, then now looking into ambience music, etc. Basically, if I look around, I find new genres and/or artists jumping from eachother because of their style of music. My favorite movie probably would be right now, and still, Jackass 2... I still haven't found a better movie yet lately that could top that in comedy wise since I probably didn't stop laughing the whole movie..

 1) If I could go back in time to meet someone and do or ask anything, I'd probably meet Winsor McCay. He's basically the father of modern animation (predating even Walt Disney), not to mention he created Little Nemo in Slumberland, which is quite possibly one of the most amazing comic strips I've come across.

2) The most confusing thought I've ever had is trying to figure out exactly how computers work. I mean, I understand the electrical signals, binary, and all that. I just can't understand how electrical signals can tell a computer to do so many different things. How do we make the computer understand what we want it to do with just electrical signals? Binary consists of 0's and 1's, on and off switches. How does that tell a computer to run a video game, play a music file, or simply display a picture (especially with the liquid crystal and mercury screens that are coming out with flatscreens and laptops). Getting a machine to do so many complex things with such simple input just blows my mind. I suppose the same thing can be said about the human body.

3) My most prized possession are my glasses. My eyesight has gotten progressively worse since my childhood, so my biggest fear is going blind. I'm afraid not only because humans rely more on sight than any other sense to get around, but because my hobbies are playing video games, reading comic books and novels, and watching cartoons. I also plan on becoming an author, so without my eyesight I'll not only lose the ability to enjoy some of my favorite things to do, but I'll also lose my career.

4) My favorite book right now is Choke by Chuck Palahniuk (who also wrote Fight Club). My favorite movie is Sin City, based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller. I'm not sure about my #1 favorite music artist, but I love Imogen Heap, Aerosmith, Panic! At the Disco, and Elvis Presley.

Crap. I forgot to say what I'd do if I went back in time. I'd ask Winsor McCay what inspired him to create Little Nemo. Some very strange ideas came out of that strip.

1. If I could go back in time I would want to meet George Washington.  Most stories say how great of a person he was.  I have recently heard that he wasn't such a great person.  I would like to meet him and find out.

2.  The most confusing thought I have ever had is why do terrorists like Osama Bin Laden, feel the need to attack innocent people.  Most of the people who died in the Semptember 11th attacks have nothing to do with his holy war. 

3.  My most prized possesion would probably be a golden cross I was given from my grandfather. 

4.  My favorite book would have to be any of the Harry Potter books.  My favorite movie is the cartoon version of Hercules.  It's hilarious!! Superbad is a close second.  I don't really have a favorite musical artist.  Eminem, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Tupac, and Nas would have to top the list.  Oh yeah, T.I. too.

1.)      I would personally like to meet Hitler, and would like to fully understand from his point of view why he does the things he does.  I would ask questions that would have him fully explain why he did everything, and what he thinks while doing the things he does.  Also, I would ask him about his morals.  I just want to listen, not justify or glorify what he did. 2.)      Does life truly exist?  Do I exist?  Will I make a difference, and if so how?  Do I want to make a difference, because in the end everything will repeat itself and my knowledge past on will be missed interpreted and eventually lost or altered. 3.)      I dont have one 

4.)      I dont have a single individual book, but I do enjoy: the HALO series, The Lord of The Rings Trilogy, Harry Potter books, MacBeth, and etcetera  some of my favorite movies are:  300, Bicentennial Man, all Zombie movies made, and many more I just cant think of  for music, I enjoy all music.
