Today, another exercise in frustration. But I’m finished for the day. Interesting episodes of people power-tripping. It is what it is.
Tomorrow, a big finale? We’ll see.
1. List 5 people you know, then describe each of them in 5 words.
Perhaps a bit too personal to name names, here, so I won’t. Readers can figure out who these people are…. (And if people can’t figure out who the first one is, I just don’t know what to say….)
Person A
- Smart
- Beautiful
- Passionate
- Love
- Mine
Person B
- Smart
- Food
- Wine
- Loyal
- Closeted?
Person C
- Clueless
- Scatterbrained
- Matronly
- Faithful
- Isolated
Person D
- Uninformed
- Caring
- Opinionated
- Kitties
- Tired
Person E
- Done
- Knowing
- Guarding
- Collected
- Deciding
2. If you could have personally witnessed one event in history, what would you want to hav seen?
I’ve been kicking this one around for awhile, and am still not sure. First thing that came to mind? Oh, the huge manatee! Even in black and white, the Hindenberg was pretty spectacular.
Katrina? (Since there’s a Saints’ game tonight….) I’ve seen more storms than I’d ever like now, thank you very much. When I was nineteen, would have been a different story.
Mount St. Helens? I haven’t ever really seen a massive volcano. But, maybe in a few weeks, if the Mayans were right, that means the Yellowstone one is going to go off…..
It’s hard to pinpoint a single thing. Even moreso with my failing eyesight, and the realization that something that’s visually-spectacular often has lasting, widespread effects.
Who really saw what was going on during Watergate? Franz Ferdinand getting taken out (apologies if I sparked the earworm; only partially intentional)? Important, but only a small part of the whole story. 9/11? All over the TV when it happened, but the buildings and field were only parts to a larger story; a larger story you can’t see in a :30 clip on YouTube.
