friday five
01.) If you were in a band (you know, a successful one…), and you HAD to remake an old song, what band/song would you choose and why?
2.) If you were a Make-a-Wish child, what would you wish for (and why)?
3.) If you had the chance to learn when you were going to die, would you take it? Would you tell anyone if you knew (either your date of death or theirs)?
4.) If you couldn’t die until you helped someone, would you rather live forever selfishly or die earlier?
5.) If there’s any goal you haven’t accomplished yet, what is it and what is stopping you?

Today is Jonathan’s 40th birthday. I wish I was there. He’s having a birthday party and I wish I was there to laugh and have fun and spoil him.
I sent him gifts but it’s just not the same. I wish I had been there to see him open them. I wish I had been there to see his face.
Happy birthday, Jonathan. I hope it was everything you wished for and more.
the friday five
0- Would you rather live in a world with or without technology such as computers, cars, airplanes, bombs?
- If you had to live without either heating in your house or air conditioning, which one would you keep?
- If you had to own five dogs, what kind would you get?
- If the world had a front porch, what would you do on it?
- Would you rather live in a neighborhood where you know all of your neighbors by name, or where everyone sticks to their own business?
I would prefer to live with them. I know there are positives and negatives for it all but it comes down to the personal for me: I can keep in touch with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, friends, and lovers who live great distances from me. I can visit, e-mail, call, etc. This technology gives me a less parochial view of the world and a great understanding of those who may live in a different type of environment than I do.
Considering where I live, I have to have heating. I don’t have air conditioning and I don’t really miss it. We get nice breezes in the summer and my ceiling fan keeps it cool enough. If my bones get cold, I can’t get warm. If I get hot, I take a cool shower. Easy choice for me.
I have a beagle and I’d take another in a heartbeat. I love German Sheperds, foxhounds, greyhounds, malamutes, and labs.
Oh, if only! Sit, drinking lemonade, waving to the neighbors, taking pictures of the life around me, and relaxing and enjoying life.
I do know most of my neighbors by name…and we all stick to our own business, too. I know they are there if I need them but know that they won’t intrude if it’s not imperative. It’s a nice, happy medium.
