Part IV: Revenge of the Interviewees

#164
No, but I have no idea what you are talking about. You ask the weirdest questions.

Would you accept being the financially wealthiest person on earth, but you could not have any friendship that lasted longer than one week?

Though I am a stereotypical introvert, I couldn't go through with it.

Family and friends are the most important. It also takes me a lot longer than a week to develop even an acquaintance. Also, to be the wealthiest person on earth, I'd need to have over 70 billion dollars, which is an extraordinary amount. Even a billion would last me my lifetime, my kids' lifetime, and even my grandkids.

Long story short...I choose friendship.


If you could be placed in any era, where would it be?

I like the open ended questions that either require, or at least allow a good bit of room for the interviewee to use their imagination. Sockeye salmon are also call reds and we can go dipnetting every year for them down at the Copper River. I figured someone would either make what they could of it and answer in an enigmatic fashion, or accurate with some interesting anecdote it they understood.




Haven't we all?




On my way to the stars, the summit passed and I started back down to the valley floor. Have you had this feeling before?

Yes, even the tiniest things can affect things in massive ways - what if you had a strain of bacteria on your person that people in said time era were not immune to, said strain could propagate and create an epidemic. This is just ONE thing that could theoretically have a massive effect on the future.

Does this possible to you?

Only if someone noticed you. Even for a fraction of a second, that's what would make the difference. Of course, even if someone didn't see you, and you just travelled into a room, there's still a myriad of things that could affect the future. but just the act itself? I don't think so. Well...Maybe. The air you displace might affect history in the tiniest most minute amount...You never know.

Also, to the poster who answered first...I think it was purely the act itself that he was taking about.



Does what seem possible? Time travel? No, never.



Are you someone who rambles on?

No. I never ramble. I like to be direct and to the point. If I did ramble, one would imagine that I had too much to say and the point I was getting at would not be understood as well. Sometimes though, a detailed setup to a story is needed to convey the proper kind set for the listener. So I guess it depends on the listener if the speaker is rambling. There has to be some relation between all the points presented. Otherwise, than that would he considered rambling on. RAMBLE ON... Damn. Now I have Led Zeppelin stuck in my head... Anyways. Nothing is worse than rambling mixed with mumbling. Than its really like a massive headache. It's like... Not only can I not follow the story, I have no friggin clue as to what is being said. That is crap... Why would someone do that... Do they like awkward conversations. But yeah.. I never ramble... Straight to the point ;)


Hah... Sometimes I already feel like I live off the grind. Living in the country vs the city sucks. And my mind tends to travel to places where no man has gone before.


Ever look forward to go to work, that you go in early?
