1,000 years

During church today a teacher asked an interesting question.  He asked what would we do if we had a thousand years to live.  On top of that we would not have to worry about housing or money.  All those things were going to be taken care of.  Pretty much you have a thousand years to do anything you want.  We were left to talk about it with each other in small groups and then came back and talked about in a large group.  I find this question a little odd to ask at church.  The person diffidently didn't understand somethings and assumed somethings that weren't on base.  Luckily I don't care about any of those things.  I find what would you do for a thousand years if you had them very interesting by itself without all the misinformation.  Some questions I had were does everyone live a thousand years and are they taken care off.  If so, that would actually change society  completely. My next question was do you age at the same rate as we do now or is it slowed down.  Neither question was answered.  I will thus say that only I live a thousand yeas and I age to twenty at a normal rate and then slow down.  Every two hundred years will be like decade till the last twenty which thus you age normal again.  Maybe a little faster in the last twenty years.

What would I do with a thousand years?  People answered such boring answer like I'd take thousand years to finish my PhD.  It might be because I'm in a ward with a bunch of PhD students.  One person said they would continue to make art and make things with their hands.  One of my friends said they would want to help animals, like having an animal shelter.  One person brought up the fact that we would probably still do all the things we do now in our free time.  We wouldn't do that much different.  I think he's wrong though.  Right now I have to work hard to support my family.  If I didn't have that I would have so much more free time.  Maybe I wouldn't learn Spanish still, but with thousand years I would do some things different.

The main thing I would do is travel.  I don't have the money or time to do that now.  Sure Allison and I get out of town all the time, but we don't go far.  One thing I would do is travel on my bicycle.  I haven't been biking much since I don't have one right now.  With a thousand years I would bike all across America and Europe.  I would also continue to draw about my life.  I would make comics about my travels.  I would enjoy seeing new cities and new countries.  I'd probably stay in areas for long periods of time though.  I wouldn't bike a pass and leave it the next day.  I'd probably bike some where and stay up to a year or longer.  I would just engross myself in the culture.  It would be amazing.  Plus I wouldn't have to worry about money, so life would be good. The one bad thing is I would want Allison with me for the entire trip.  I couldn't imagine my life without her, okay I could, but it wouldn't be good.

What would you do if you could live a thousand years?

summer? no!

It been really warm here in Indiana the last week. It's been in the high seventies and sometimes in the eighties. What is going on with the weather here? I feel like we're not getting a spring. It's just going to summer. I don't like this. It should be in the fifties and sixties right now, not seventies. I should still be wearing pants and hoodies. I know I was talking about breaking out my shorts less than a month ago, but I just need a day off from pants.

This past year has been one crazy season after another. We had a great fall last year, until it never ended. Now we're having summer. Indiana went from fall to summer! It missed two great seasons - winter and spring! I'm still holding out thinking that it'll cool off again and we'll have spring. It's just to early for this crazy summer weather.

doritos tacos

I did it today. I tried the Doritos loco tacos. They were so good. After eating them your fingers are covered in Doritos dust. Oh, they were so good. They kind of taste like eating nachos with Doritos instead of plain chips. I'm surprised no one thought of this before. It seems so simple, coat your hard shells with Doritos flavoring. BAM! You got yourself some awesome Doritos Tacos. How awesome is that? The one thing I would add is refried beans. I'm a refried beans guy. Taco meat is okay, but those refried beans are the best. I love burritos. I blame my mother for that. She use to make burritos all the time for us kids, but she called them tacos. I still call them tacos and people are like those aren't tacos. Then I have to teach them with my fists that they are. Okay maybe I don't teach them anything, but I think about it. I think about it a lot. Back to those Doritos Tacos. One other thing I would change is the hard shell. I think they need to be soft. Hard shells break to easy. Maybe if they warped the hard shell in a soft shell with a cheese layer in-between the soft and hard layer of shell. They already have some tacos like that. They are so amazing too.

I decide while eating the Doritos Tacos I could so make them at home and better. I am going to buy a bag of Doritos Cool Ranch. Then I'm going to make some awesome burritos and crumble those sweet tasting Doritos over them. It'll be like paradise for my mouth. I get soft shell with refried beans and a splash of Cool Ranch! I can't wait to try this out. Maybe I'll use Nacho Cheese flavor too. I haven't decided that yet. I'm so doing it soon.

cheating

I order a photobook last week. I've decide that I wanted to have physical proof that Allison and I actually did things and had a past. The book came in today. I have been looking for it at work and in the mail. The book didn't come either way. It came Fedex! I couldn't believe it. The guy knocked on my door and ask for my John Hancock. I feel dirty now. I cheated on UPS with Fedex. If I had know it was coming Fedex I might not have order it. Well, I still would have. It wasn't like the company gave me a choice of who to ship from. I just thought it was funny that it came Fedex instead of UPS.
