Let's free my mind!

I feel like doing something on my list, since it has almost been over a week since I have posted on my blog. So I am doing number 12 off the list.

12) Answer 50 Questions that Will Free your mind

Can I say, these questions definitely got me thinking, I don't know if it necessarily freed my mind.

P.S. I'm dying for a pop! Only two more weeks!

P.S.S. Sorry the format of my list is funky, I don't know why it is out of whack, when it looks normal on what I'm composing.

Here is my list:

1. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? 26, I'm only 26 and I
don't even know how old I am half the time, I keep thinking I am 26.
2. Which is worse, failing or never trying? Never Trying
3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so
many things we don’t do? Very good question, that is why I am doing the 1001 day
project, to help me do the things I want to do, but keep putting it off, because
I have to do other non-productive things like work and cook dinner, and clean the
house.
4. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
Definately, I am all talk.

10. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? Doing the right things
11. You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do? This is a tough one, because I am known for going along with others if they are talking bad about someone. I am so bad for gossip and talking about others behind their backs. But if they were saying something really bad that I disagree with, I would definitely say something along the lines that what they are saying is not correct and this person is a great person.

19. If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why? Probably Savannah GA, that place seems so beautiful and quaint. Seems like a great place to live.
