Hey, is that...?


Day 27.  What would you do if all the electricity in the world just stopped?

I'll look at the sky. Right now, there's light pollution almost everywhere. You have to go to a very desolated place in order to fully see the sky and its stars but when the electricity stops, the world will suddenly turn their gaze at the sky and its beauty. "Hey, look, what is this wide thing crossing our sky? Is it the Milky way?" I think people have forgotten how the sky should look like and because of the light pollution nobody really looks at the sky anymore. People have forgotten to look at the things that are so much bigger than they are. I remember reading that if humans spare a little time for gazing at the sky every day, the world will be such a better place. I share that view and I add that people have forgotten how to dream. Obsessed by the everyday hustle and distracted by the mundane, the world has lost its dreamers. Now, if only the electricity in the world just stopped...

Giving

26.  What would you do if someone just gave you $1 million?

Right now I don't really need any kind of money, besides the money for my college tuition so if someone gave me 1 million, I'd save a little from them for my tuition and I'd give the rest to someone who actually needs it like someone who needs to take an important surgery. If I don't find someone like that which is very unlikely given the amount of people with weird and obscure deceases, I'd give it to a charity that gives money to research centers or I'd give it directly to a research center. 

I don't think money can solve any of my problems, no matter how big it is, except for health problems. In any other situation, I think that any human being is capable of standing up on it own and working its way back up to the game. In my opinion, it's just a matter of willpower and self-reflection.

Past Sight

Day 25 What would you do if you could travel into the past?

I'd return to see the major battles between empires, warring country. I'd try to sneak into the strategy rooms and see what are people planning. I'd like to see how people are living and how different are they than today's people. I'd really want to see the samurais of Japan and the knights of the medieval ages. I'd really want to see how Asia developed into the current state and how it made some revolutionary inventions. 

Future Sight

Day 24.  What would you do if you could travel into the future?

If I could travel into the future, I'd first see how interaction between humans has changed and what has survived from it. I'd guess that interaction will be mostly the same excluding a few minor changes. Afterwards, I'll see how people have overcome the problems of each century between mine and the one I'm visiting. I'd be interested to see if we have discovered a way to travel to different planets, galaxies, universes. Another thing that I'm interested in is the date when Bleach, Naruto and One Piece will end because I can't imagine them finishing in my lifetime.

Meow!


23.  What would you do if you were able to communicate with animals?

If I was able to communicate I with animals, I'd never stop travelling around the world. I'd just have a durable set of clothes and a survival kit. I'd travel through the jungles, talking with monkeys, snakes and cats. I'd go to the savannas and I'll talk to lions like the guy above. 

I'l befriend them and I'll stroke their manes. I'll also scratch hyenas necks because they really love it. I'll climb a giraffes long neck and I'll look around from that tall place. I'll climb up the heights of the Himalayas and I'll meet the white leopards that cross the paths of Buddhist monks.

I'll talk to the condors that fly around half of the planet. I'll talk to lions, tigers, bears, everybody. Being able to communicate with animals and humans would be the best thing to have because I'll you be able to get across so many things. You'd learn how to hunt, how to escape from a hunt, how to fly, how to run. Meeting new people and conversing with them is the one of the best things you could do in your life and being able to converse with animals just quadruples the awesomeness of that experience. I'd really love to talk to animals.

Invisible day

Day 22.  What would you do if you woke up one morning to find yourself invisible? 

- Jiff, wake up. - says my mother - Jiff, wake up, it's time for school! - she shouts and barges into my room. - How many times do I have to tell you, young man, that being late for school is a bad thing! - says my mother and grabs the blanket that I'm covering myself with. She pulls it and looks in my direction but her eyes don't focus on anything.
- Hmm, maybe he's already up and gone for school. What a good surprise. - she says and leaves the room. 

Wait, what? What just happened? Didn't she notice me? Hmm. I guess that's just a my brother and my brother setting a prank for me. Is it April Fool's Day? No, it's not. I guess it's really time to get up. Time to find my glasses... where's my hand? Where's my body? I can't see myself! Am I a ghost? Can I touch things? Yes, I can pick up my glasses. Let's try to see myself in the mirror. I can't see myself. And, yes, I do have my glasses on. I don't see a reflection in the mirror. Hmm. What should I do? Well, I obviously don't have to go to school and I can do whatever I want. But what do I want to do? Let's eat first. Then I can walk around town. Now that I'm invisible I don't really need to wear clothes and because it's a wonderful summer day outside, I can walk freely walk bare naked. I make myself a sandwich and I leave the house. I catch the bus and I get off at the city center. So many people hurrying for somewhere. I don't want to stay here. It's boring. I go back to my house, grab some clothes warm clothes and catch the bus again for the bus stop. I'm going to the mountains.

A night in the jail


Day 21. What would you do if you were locked inside your favorite department store overnight?

First of all, I don't really like department stores. I don't like them because I don't really need anything out of them and whenever I go shopping I quickly become bored and anxious to get out of there. I wasn't like this before, when I was little. I used to like it because I got to drive the shopping cart but because my father didn't really let me have it that much and because my little brother also wanted it, I had to give up on this only pleasure I had about department store shopping. If I was trapped in a department store in general, I'll probably try to build some contraption in order to escape from the store, like a catapult or something else. 

Even if I was locked inside my favorite stores, not department store, which is electronics store or a comic store, I'll probably be interested in the stuff they offer for an hour or two. Afterwards, I'll try to find ways to escape it.
