Set Another Plate

Image
You are planning the dinner party of your dreams and there are eight chairs.  You can invite seven other people (anyone still alive).  Who will fill the chairs and what will make this dinner interesting?  This has been one of my favorite questions of all time.  I have shared it with many people, and I actually hope when I post this, you will share your guest list with me.  I find the answers fascinating. I spent weeks on this list, where others knew right away.  I had a very different list when we changed the question to include anyone at all-passed or alive .  But alas, the question stands - anyone alive, eight chairs, one is for you.  Who's in the room filling those seats? Oddly, I went straight to a celebrity list.  People I would love to have a conversation and listen to their stories.  I don't know why they are known people.  I can't really explain it.  Maybe I should have more than one list? This would be my perfect celebrity dinner party: Tom Hanks Barak and Mi

Drive to a school and pick up an entire kindergarten class and take them for ice cream?  I don't know - it seems such a frivolous thing, someone to drive you around in the name of prestige.  Might as well make it a memory for someone who thinks it's amazing.

Does Good Intention Always Prevail?

You're running for President of the United States.  What thing from your past could your opposition use against you? Here's the thing about politics - it's all a smoke show.  If any politician acquired a leader's seat with the true intention of changing the world, wouldn't this world be a different place... Today's society is riddled with bullshit.  It's a twisted mess of social media propaganda of what someone else wants you to hear, and to think, and to believe.  Presidents and candidates alike spend years slinging shit at each other, degrading each other as humans, and these are the people we are supposed to put our trust in to rule the world.  What a sad place to start.  I've always said if given such an opportunity, my campaign would be different.  Let's talk about solutions to problems and how we, as a human race can be better - for the good of the whole.  I wonder how many others started out with the same intention and got caught up in the
