To quote Matthew McConaughey, “Alright, alright alright”. It’s Friday and it’s time to ask five questions. It’s late, I didn’t look at past questions and tomorrow I’ve got a long drive to make. Therefore, if I asked a repeater…then answer with your second best answer (none of us are truly one answer deep anyways). I’m not trying to be Barbara Wawa (what kind of tree would you be) but I do think some of those questions give serious insight. So here we go friends.

1. What song (which artist) do you feel that describes you best and why?

2. When was the last time you were wrong about something and what made you realize it?

I recently told a cousin that there would come a moment in basic training when he would feel like, “hey, I got this, I know what I’m doing and I’ll be fine.” I believe we get these moments in life so…

3. When was the last time you knew “you had this covered”?

I kinda feel that most of us on here are a bit “different” from the majority of society, if so…

4. When did you realize you couldn’t, “go along to get along” and was built a bit different?

And because I think these are deep questions, I’ll add a lighter one. So….

5. Ginger or Mary Anne (Gilligan’s Island) and for the ladies, which woman did you think more of?

1. I'm not sure..I rarely listen to music anymore. Not because I don't like music..i love all kinds from all over the world. .but I just would rather process my thoughts n feelings more or catch up on news than listen to music . Music for me has always been a tool , like for expressions of a mood of sorts ,or for dancing, ballet, jazz, cheer, occasional cages n shadow boxes in nightclubs for fun..lol or going for a long jog..or background noise while ti nkering. but music was/ is a distraction from my life's ponderings. There is a album by pink Floyd that is mostly instrumental I've liked over the years to relax too..maybe the consistency to the span of time that I've liked it for chill time wins this question...

2. ..I'm wrong about little stuff here n there..don't really keep track of that ..big stuff..there is a newer couple at work who I pegged at first to not being very self motivated n kinda lazy. But after spending some lunch time in the break room with them trying to get to know them better, I can see their perspective better n understand.

3. Daily...mostly. I do have moments where I don't want to .."I got this" n as I age ..this pops up more n more and I'm at that point where I want less n less to be responsible for and do because I'm tired of doing everything on my own.

4. I've felt I've operated off the main trail..even as a kid. I was around 5 when I realized I HAD to go with the flow. It wasn't untill I was older like 13 that I had the safety and confidence to become myself more . That journey took me years to figure out ..it's been a trip.

5. Maryanne made the most sense and was very likeable down to earth gal.

 

[Ozarks hillbilly]

Guess I should answer my own questions, that’d be fair.


1. What song (which artist) do you feel that describes you best and why?
Stay away from Elvis. I left my Ozarks for a long time and always felt the call to return.

2. When was the last time you were wrong about something and what made you realize it?
I chased money and position far too long. Sacrificed a little too much for not enough.

I recently told a cousin that there would come a moment in basic training when he would feel like, “hey, I got this, I know what I’m doing and I’ll be fine.” I believe we get these moments in life so…

3. When was the last time you knew “you had this covered”?
Tons of time in the military. Most recently, working on a fix up car (did a lot of this when I was younger but paid others to do it due to being busy). Surprised to see I could get back into auto work so quickly.

I kinda feel that most of us on here are a bit “different” from the majority of society, if so…

4. When did you realize you couldn’t, “go along to get along” and was built a bit different?
Third grade. Teacher had a rule of “you can always ask”, which I exploited, asked a lot about going outside for class and getting told no. When she said I shouldn’t ask so much, I pointed out her rule of “you can always ask”. She responded by writing a giant “NO” and the board and asked, “ do you know what this means.” With a smile I responded “no”. She laughed and the class laughed. We had class outside hat day.

And because I think these are deep questions, I’ll add a lighter one. So….

5. Ginger or Mary Anne (Gilligan’s Island) and for the ladies, which woman did you think more of?
Ginger for play, Mary Anne to stay (one for fun and the other gets the ring).

If you really wanted to stump me you would have needed to make it Elizabeth Montgomery vs Lynda Carter, Bewitched versus Wonder Woman.
