Title: 20 June 2004 - 26 June 2004 Post by: poogie on June 22, 2004, 04:17:38 AM My tenth high school reunion is this year and I've spent all of 2004 in some time warp where I think it's 1994. I keep using that year when typing or writing the date and I am even having nightmares about it. :p This leads to the question(s) of the week.
Imagine your entire life span. What things from it would you want people 100 years or even 1000 years from now to study and know about? Also, what things do you want your kids (or if you're not planning on having kids any kids you might encounter regularly like nieces and nephews) to know about and watch/read/listen to (etc if I've forgotton something)? For some reason I have this odd, odd feeling that Dissectica, Allyene and Dain will put "heavy metal" as one of their answers to every part of the question. I'm not quite sure why I think that though..... :p /P :D Title: Re: 20 June 2004 - 26 June 2004 Post by: Nilram on June 27, 2004, 12:00:41 AM Quote from: poogie My tenth high school reunion is this year and I've spent all of 2004 in some time warp where I think it's 1994.

My tenth high school anniversary was 2 years ago. :twisted: I'll be turning 30 soon (on Friday the 13th no less) :cry: On a more serious note there are events in ones life that makes one stop and reflect on ones life. Like turning 30. :twisted: Quote from: poogie Imagine your entire life span. What things from it would you want people 100 years or even 1000 years from now to study and know about?

Well my dad just died (rather suddenly) So I've been thinking about this a lot latley. And this gets rather personal. I guess for my children I would want them to know that I love them and am very proud of them. The big question is what would they like to know about me. I find that there is much I don't know about my dad and would like to know more about his life. And I have no answer for this. I think that for the general populus the average person will know very little about me 100 or 1000 years form now. Only major historical figures get that kind of recognitions. Of course the average person knows very little about me now. I do have this dream to discover a theorem so that future generations of math professors will have something new to torture students with. :twisted: Title: 20 June 2004 - 26 June 2004 Post by: Carrion on June 27, 2004, 03:08:23 PM Ooops, a bit late... AND a tough question, but I'll try!
First and foremost, I want my children to know how much I love them. Next, I'd like to be remembered for my ability to learn from my mistakes, and to work through rough times. And for the wishful thinking, I'd like to be famous for being the oldest newcomer in the US PGA. (Golf.) Title: 20 June 2004 - 26 June 2004 Post by: poogie on June 27, 2004, 03:59:42 PM I guess I made this question a bit too difficult. Perhaps I didn't word it properly. Things I'd like to see people in the future know about are hockey, our computers because they'll probably laugh at how "huge" they are, roller skates, 80s fashion, 90s alternative music, etc...
