Day 16

16. Something you always think “what if…” about

What if bags of chips were filled with chips instead of air?

What if the United States and the Soviet Union decided to use their missiles during the Cuban Missile Crisis?

What if Daffy Duck successfully tricked Bugs Bunny?

What if explorers did not exist and everyone remained in their respected regions?

What if we all had powers like X-men?

Day 15

15. Your zodiac/horoscope and if you think if fits your personality

Scorpio

Strengths: loyal; passionate; resourceful; observant; magnetic; powerful; determined; dynamic

Weaknesses: are on a need-to-know basis

It was quite intriguing to read the character traits and descriptions for Scorpio.  I must admit that they are surprisingly accurate.  I’m not one to read my horoscope everyday, but reading these descriptions were amusingly insightful.

DZ LookBook – It’s all for L.O.V.E.

14. What you wore today

Has it really been two years?  It feels like it was only yesterday when my sister showed me a text message stating Michael Jackson was dead and all the radio stations were playing his music.  It feels like it was only a few hours ago when I was staring at CNN watching people gather at the hospital along with a repetitive reel of Michael’s life.  It feels like it was only a few minutes ago, as my anger and sorrow grew, that reality struck: my only opportunity to experience my icon’s live performance disappeared.

Today marks the 2 year anniversary of Michael Jackson’s passing.  It is a day for Michael Jackson memories, music, dance, and love.  I love you more Michael!

Day 9

 9. How important you think education is

Knowledge is power.  Education will always open doors (even though the current job market is depressing).  The name of the institution or the length of a resume should not be the main focus.  It is what you take out of it that matters.
