Jul. 5th, 2006 09:59 pmI've been promising myself that I'd try and journal every day. Just to see where I'm going and what's happening in my life. Here goes attempt number one (hopefully attempt number two won't occur six months from now.)
I'm currently on eHarmony so I'm cheating and listing out the questions I had to answer today. eHarmony goes through several phases of communication before you get to the open communication stage and I'm working through those stages with a bunch of guys (It's amazing what losing 50lbs will do for your dating life...) Here are the questions the latest guy asked me. I really hope he's not nuts, he's cute ;)
1. Describe an interest you have that you would truly hope your partner could share with you.
I really enjoy Celtic Music. I’d love for my partner to enjoy live shows, music festivals and the like. Most recently, I went to Starlight Theatre to see Riverdance which was absolutely phenomenal.
2. Tonight you can do anything you want, no penalties, no reprisals, and the cost is unimportant. What are you going to do?
I’d really like to gather everyone I know who would love New Zealand, charter a 767 and take them all. Unfortunately, that would take longer than one night and the consequences would return before we even finished the flight. Instead I’d like to do one of those crazy stunts ala “It Could Happen to You”. I’d love to go to a grocery store somewhere in a lower income area and buy everyone’s groceries. I’d have to find a way to do it where no one knew until they were checking out… otherwise people just get greedy.
3. What are your political beliefs?
Wow, this is a huge question. I think we should probably stick to a general overview for now *Grin*
*Finds a Soap Box and clears here throat*
I classify myself as a moderate, but I’m a pretty passionate moderate. I advocate smaller federal government that stays out of state’s business and state government that stays out of people’s private lives. I believe in the Constitution of the United States and in the values that this country sprang from. I believe you cannot legislate morality, nor should you want to. Adherence to moral practices without belief is a hollow victory that is easily broken.
I am currently on a very big personal responsibility kick right now. If people looked at a situation and worked to find ways to make it better instead of ways to make it not their problem, the world would be a better place. I believe that the major issue in society today is a lack of personal responsibility.
*Stepping down off the soap box*
Ok, having said all that, if you’d like my views on any specific beliefs, let’s talk about it. I’m fairly open-minded and I’ve been exposed to a large set of view points. My definition of normal is pretty broad and I’ve taken a lot of time to set my opinion. There’s no way for the main “hot button” issues to fit in this tiny box, so we’ll have to cover those another day.
