Moonie's Ramblings

[Cerebral Perception]

Allow me to show you my thoughts....

Good night, Professor.

.... and that was the cerebral perception

 

[Prof. Moonie]

Good afternoon everyone.

Currently on an "intermission" break for the movie I'm watching - In Bruges (2008). I originally bookmarked the movie to watch because Matt Smith makes a brief (and apparently uncredited) appearance in the film. Still have yet to see his appearance though, lol. Anyway, it's actually a good movie, considering it's about two hitmen spending a "vacation" in Bruges, Belgium due to a job going slightly wrong.

"Intermission" will be over around 5:10 or so... so I'm going to work on the questionnaire until then.
 

[Prof. Moonie]

3501. Is 'no glove, no love' your STRICT policy?
Never heard of such phrase before. What the hell is that supposed to mean?

3502. What is the best Epic movie (examples of epics: ben-her, gone with the wind, last temptation of christ)?/
I have no idea.

3503. Finish the sentance.

Hey, Hey we're the: winners...

People say we: are crazy

But we're too busy: laughing in their faces

The time to hesitate is: when you know you'll be doing something that could drastically change your life

You're too: close-minded

It's a nice day to: sing along to music

3504. Have you ever had 'missing time'?
Missing time? What?

3505. Have you ever sent an electronic greeting?
Yes  

[Prof. Moonie]

3506. If you could send anonymous tips to people you knew who would never ever find out who sent them who would you send the following tips to?

doesn't know when to leave, poor crotch hygiene, talks to much, band/art/dream is going nowhere, most likely to get arrested, needs to get their life together, bad taste in clothes, bad taste in music, needs a hobby
I wouldn't send any tips to people regarding those subjects.

3507. Are you more likely to download porn or disney movies?
Disney movies. But even then I don't download movies. I just watch movies online for free.

3508. What is it with people?
Hard to say.

3509. Do you eat too much sugar?
No.

3510 Imagine you have aband. Let's name your band.

Adjective: Clever

Animal(plural): Cats

Your band name is (adjective) (animals) Under Glass!
Clever Cats Under Glass... okay, then...

Could be better? Let's try again.

Adjective: Mad

Noun (plural): Daleks

Your band is (adjective) (nouns) With Puppets
Mad Daleks With Puppets... even worse the first one. Ugh.  

[Prof. Moonie]

3511. Are you desperate but not serious?
No.

3512. Was there a time when you were younger and it took less to get you excited? What did it take then? What does it take now?
Probably. I didn't have to worry about how much money it took and didn't have to worry about how it would fit into schedule. Being able to afford it and having the time to do it.

3513. Remember learning to write in elementary school? We spend 2 years learning to print..then they throw that out the window and teach kids cursive. Why? If cursive is so important and easy to read then why aren't books printed in cursive? Why aren't cursive computer fonts more popular? Why do business forms always say 'please print'? Schools are so preoccupied with teaching kids the complicated but traditional skill of cursive writing that more emphasis is put on that than on teaching kids how to clearly express their ideas through writing. I move that cursive writing become a jr. high school elective instead of a grammar school priority. Who's with me?
Yeah, I do. I think they teach us cursive, so we know how to sign our names. That seems to be the only place I see that we still use cursive for... though it's never as need and the same as how they've taught us in school. Non-cursive text is easier to read, especially when you are quickly looking for something. Not sure. As I mentioned before, people's signatures have become so... hmm... distorted... that it makes it hard to read it; so by printing it makes it easy for people to know what the signature says, lol. As for the importance of cursive, I don't think it was all that important when I was going to school.

3514. Can you think of anything else (besides cursive writing) that is unhelpful, or unuseful, yet traditional and unquestioned? What?
The Freshman Focus class that I had to take. Ugh... completely a waste of time when I've already spent years doing the same things in other classes. But I guess people want to insure that youngsters are prepared to enter the world of jobs when the time comes.

3515. Name one female celebrity who you would guess wears size ___ clothing: 0? 5? 12? 16? 20?
I don't care.  

[Prof. Moonie]

3516. Have you ever been to a place where the restrooms were named in a clever way rather than just saying men's and woman's? I've seen Hens and Roosters, Bart and Lisa, Dudes and Babes...what have you seen?
I believe I have. I think the Hawaiian restaurant has the names in the Hawaiian language. I can't remember what the words were exactly now.

3517. What is the 'message' or 'point behind': Fight Club? Donnie Darko? AI? Minority Report? Solaris? A Walk to Remember? You've Got Mail?
Fighting isn't everything? I don't know, never saw it. Don't let technology take over your life? I don't know, never saw it. Again, never saw it. Be grateful for the time you have with the ones you love. You find love in the most unlikely places?

3518. have you seen, and what are your thoughts about these movies: Drumline? The Hot Chick? Maid in Manhattan? Star Trek: Nemesis? About Schmidt? Evelyn? The Guys? Intacto? The Jimmy Show? The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers? Gangs of New York? Two Weeks Notice? The Wild Thornberrys Movie? Smokers Only? Treasure Planet? The Santa Clause 2?
No. No. Yes - I don't remember what I thought of it. Yes - it was good. No. No. No. No. No. Yes - it was good. No. Yes - it's good. No. No. No. Yes - an excellent sequel to the first, especially covering the Mrs. Claus aspect of the myth/tale of Santa Claus.

3519. START this sentence: ....and I think to myself, what a wonderful world."
I sit by the creek, looking around at the nature around me...

3520. What is: insanity? normal? farenheit?
Losing your mind. Hard to say. A way of measuring temperature.  

[Prof. Moonie]

3521. Tell us about yourself in the third person for a bit:
At first glance, Christine seems like someone who prefers to keep to herself and not mingle among those around her. While it is true that she is quiet and reserved, Christine is far from being a wallflower. As people rush by going about their business, not really paying much attention to her, but noticing her presence out of the corner of their eyes, Christine is observing the things that people say and do. It is through these observations that Christine is able to determine who people are and where her trust in them lies. Once she gets to know someone well, a new side - one that is hidden behind that introverted public appearance - emerges revealing a woman who is clever, creative and the friendliest person you'll get to know. While she becomes more open to those she trusts and knows well, there still lies a sense of mystery around her. What secrets does she keep within? No one seems to know except for Christine herself.

3522. If someone breaks a law, should they be punished if they did not know it was a law?
Depends on the law.

3523. If it's so much easier to learn languages when we are very young (and it is, something to do with the developing brain) why do they wait until jr high and high school to teach them?
They've been changing that lately, I believe. But I don't know... I guess they are focused on making sure we know our first language first before teaching us another language. *shrugs*

3524. Name a band you sort of like: Celtic Thunder

You are wearing that band's t-shirt in a store. SUDDENLY some guy you don't know comes up to you and goes, "Hey! You like (insert name of the band here)??!!" This is obviously a really stupid question because if you didn't like them you wouldn't be wearing the t-shirt. Your witty reply is: I don't know what I would say exactly, probably would depend on the person... but I probably would speak in some Irish or Scottish accent, just for the heck of it, lol.

3525. If you were organizing cd's in a music store what section would you put each of the following in (don't forget the 'bargain bin' section!): Blink182, Depech Mode, Weezer, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Avril Lavigne, Nelly, Manfred Mann, Iggy Pop, Pink Floyd, Guns N Roses, Shakira, Britny Spears, Tool, Ozzy Osbourne, Madonna, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi
I would separate them by their music genre, and then order them by name. Possibly would place some CDs of the older artists in the bargain bin. *shrugs* I don't know.  

[Prof. Moonie]

3526. Does coffee stimulate your mind or body more?
I don't drink coffee. I don't like it.

3527. Can you do 'six degrees of seperation' to anyone famous?
Sorry... what is "six degrees of separation"?

3528. What's the oddest thing in your home?
Um... I don't know.

3529. Do you find it odd when people who are not handicapped use the handicapped stall: in the bathroom? in the parking lot?
I don't find it odd for the bathroom aspect, especially if all of the other stalls are taken. As for the parking lot aspect, yeah, I do find it odd.

3530. Do you sometimes find yourself talking to yourself? Do you answer yourself back?
I'm like the Doctor in that aspect. In other words, yes, I do talk to myself... and I usually create personalities for the responses. Shut up... it helps me think.  

[Prof. Moonie]

I.

3534. Does culture shape behavior or does behavior shape culture?
Both.

3535. What determines whether a person will be: intelligent? pretty? happy? sucessful?
The amount of information they know about a specific or various subject(s). People's own personal opinions of what is considered beautiful. A smile on their face? Fulfilling one's dreams and goals.  

[Prof. Moonie]

3536. What is social loafing? What is groupthink?
Not sure.

3537. I have an idea. let's change the english language by making the words fewer, shorter and more concise. What do ya think?

3539. Here's the scenerio...your little eight year old brother is hangin out in the house when you come in..and catch him watching the playboy channel! What do you do/say? He says, "Why can't I watch this?" What is your response? Why do you respond that way?
I don't have a brother, lol.

3547. Would you do almost anything for a dare?
Depends on the dare.

3548. Do you hate being in a crowd who plays jokes on one another?
Depends on the joke and who is in the crowd.

Never been to one, nor do I have the interest to go to one.

[Prof. Moonie]

3551. Is racism still a big part of our culture?
Oh yes... unfortunately.

3552. A drawing was shown to a person. The drawing showed a black man in a business suit standing next to a white man holding a razor. The person who saw this drawing was white and was asked to describe it to a second white person who had not seen it, who described it to a third, and so on. By the end of six rounds the final report often placed the razor in the hand of the black man and it is claimed he is waving it threateningly. What do you think of this?
Things always get distorted... especially when people's own personal, prejudicial opinions get mixed up into the description.
