Most people (present company included) can’t say that they wouldn’t change anything about their past, especially if they were given the chance to live it again. Your answer to question number 7 is interesting though, very interesting.

Find the nearest 4×4 trail and waste a good tank of gas.

2) your best friend stopped being your best friend….for no reason

Friends come, and friends go. I do not bother myself with those who thinks friendship is disposable.

3) you went home tonight and found your dwelling completely destroyed by an act of God

Yay insurance!

4) you found a lotto ticket worth 100 million on the street (be real and detailed with this answer)

I’d claim it, move back home to the islands, and live a good life.

5) you had the ability/opportunity to pursue your dream without anything holding you back (time, people, capitol, etc) but had to drop everything right now and do it, would you?

Yes I would.

6) you were given the opportunity to change one moment in history (yours or anyone else’s), what would it be and why?

I wouldn’t change anything in my past or anyone else’s. What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new. Right now.

7) you were given the chance to see the person you were put on this earth to love, but had to give up what you value most for just the opportunity to “see” them (note: see, not interact/talk)

I’d rather remember them as I have them imprinted in my memories.

you could only listen to one song on your radio/digital music device for 30days, what would it be?

Midnight Train To Georgia - Joan Osborne

9) you were given $1000 (post tax) per week for the rest of your life (in addition to your supplemental income), what would you do with it?

Put it towards my brothers’ college fund.

10) you had to live your life over again up until this point….what would you change? (toughest one)

I accept life for what it is and what it isn’t. I am content with the blessings that’s been bestowed upon me. I would not relive my life and go through the same pains and loves, its ups and its downs, and everything else in between only to change a little something.

your best friend stopped being your best friend….for no reason Know that God has a purpose for that and if they are really true to friendship they will return

you went home tonight and found your dwelling completely destroyed by an act of God I’d be heartbroken

you found a lotto ticket worth 100 million on the street (be real and detailed with this answer) I’d be real cool as I pick it up. Take it home with me, and wait a couple of days to see if I hear anything on the news about ticket. Notice, I said “a couple” of day. Cash it in. The first thing I would do is buy a house in another state and move.

you had the ability/opportunity to pursue your dream without anything holding you back (time, people, capitol, etc) but had to drop everything right now and do it, would you? No, because some of the people in my life are my dream.

you were given the opportunity to change one moment in history (yours or anyone else’s), what would it be and why? The death of Martin Luther King. He’s was such an inspiration in so many African American lives.

you were given the chance to see the person you were put on this earth to love, but had to give up what you value most for just the opportunity to “see” them (note: see, not interact/talk) I rather not “see” them.

you could only listen to one song on your radio/digital music device for 30days, what would it be? Fred Hammond “My Heart Is for You”

you were given $1000 (post tax) per week for the rest of your life (in addition to your supplemental income), what would you do with it? Give up 10%….then start workin on a different budget.

you had to live your life over again up until this point….what would you change? (toughest one) The hurt & pain that I’ve caused others.

@Idalisa: Your situation makes the answers, or at least the reality of these questions different for you. I know what it’s like to be without a job, but never where it wasn’t in my power to pretty much snatch up another one out of a large pile that is pretty much just “available” to me.

Your response to question #6 really took me back….you’d rather you not exist then for your mom to have met your Dad. That’s deep, and very VERY selfless. I applaud you for that.
#7 I’m not understanding quite what you mean….See the thing with the question is you don’t know what you’d have to give up….and you’re giving up you can’t “pick or choose”.
#10 I share in that laziness, i’ll explain that later.

@35%: your answer to #1 was disappointing girl, where’s the “you” time? Going to get your hair done, getting your nails done, getting pampered!

#2 I feel you on this, i’ve had to go thru the same thing with a friend that i’ve known my entire life so i’m there with you. Although it’s been a tough adjustment, but after 25yrs i expected it to be.
#4 was hilarious! And again, we see eye-eye on this. Although i’d strongly consider walking thru my office the next day and telling a few select people You can go to hell! with a big smile on my face.
#9 is deep, that’s a very admirable thing for you to do, most people wouldn’t do that….or at least not the entire $1000

I liked your answers a lot and how you closed it out with a little sass.
@Bae:
#1 Now thats what i’m talking about, get in that personal time, get back to neutral.
#2 I’m not sure if i could ever replace my best friend as easy as you make it seem. It sounds like you got people waiting in the queue to be your BFF. It’s actually quite difficult to “replace” anyone that holds that position IMHO, because given the fact that they do it means that they occupy a unique place that can just be filled by the “next one”
#3 That’s funny with the Mercedes, and having a pot of cash on the side for the folks with their hands out.
#5 Thanks for sharing that. I can’t imagine how that feels to have that that much fear. A big part of life is about failing and how you deal with those failures, how you bounce back, how you recover, how you not repeat those.
#6 I understand that, and had somewhat of the same issue that i’ll share once i’m done with responding to you all’s comments
#7 Interesting your response is, although i’m pretty sure I understand why you responded in that way
#9 great answer
#10 Say Word, amen to that!!!
@La Chica:
#2 I agree with that, and that holds true to i think most of our answers for this question
#4 Half to the folks? Seriously? Did you mean to type that?
#6 I like how people are being so open with this question
#10 That’s very important that you don’t allow anyone to use you as a door mat, or even “run” you.

@Babysis: I love and appreciate your seeking God first with all of your answers, and how in almost every response you are giving back or seeking God’s instruction and guidance in everyone of your scenarios/decisions.

Vic…i’m going to have to take a break and come back to you love, don’t hate me for that ok?

1- hmmmmm….. Ok So I am going to be real and tell you what came to my mind first. I would sleep in, call my friends, go see my godson, cook a lovely huge dinner and invite someone over to share it.

your best friend stopped being your best friend….for no reason

2 - I would pray and ask God to help me not to feel so rejected and depressed and then move on. My destiny is not tied to anyone who left! I can’t change them, only pray for them and keep it moving. Dwelling on it, would only make me angry.

you went home tonight and found your dwelling completely destroyed by an act of God

3 - WHOA! Well, God doesn’t do those things, he allows them to happen. And as sad as I would be, I would be thankful that at least my car is still in-tact and I have my other personal stuff in storage. So I wouldn’t like have lost EVERYTHING, just a little something. Sorry, but I have to be real and tell the truth!

you found a lotto ticket worth 100 million on the street (be real and detailed with this answer)

4 - I wouldn’t go public and I wouldn’t tell anyone that I had the money, for fear of assaination and long-lost relatives. I would lie and say that recieved the money …………………………………………….. I can’t tell you the lie, because then you would know and you may kill me B.Price. Not to mention, I would only have like 55 million after taxes, so I couldn’t go crazy.

So anyways, I would then pay all of my bills and outstanding credits. I would pay all of my Mother’s bills and outstanding credits. I would give my brother $1 million, so that he could buy what he wanted and pay off what he needed to and some of the money would be in the form of a scholarship, so he could go back to school. I would give my mother a $1 so she could just do whatever she wanted.

Balance a little less than 53 million or so……

Then I would buy myself, my mom and my brother a home. Not a house, but a home. A home for them individually, of their choosing, whereever it may be in the Washington, DC metro area (at most 45 miles outside of DC). I would let them decorate it and furnish it according to their choosing. Money would not be a big issue and they could be as lavish as they desired. I would however, tell them that they had to keep it under 1.5 million. My name is not Bill Gates!

Balance a little less than 46 million or so

I would then set-up a trust fund, for all my godchildren and children that are special to me. I would open up all of the businessess that I have wanted to start. My personalized services concierge, eclectic restaurant, hair/nail/body spa and youth educational mentor center.

Balance a little more than 32 million or so

And while, all of my businesses were being built and all, I would go to a Fat Camp and lose this weight and get healthy or have one set-up in my house. I would also give my mom $1mil to fund her non-profit. And I would write out my will with control given only to specific people. And I would travel to all the places that I wanted to go before I officially launched all my businessess…

Balance a little more than 29 million or so

I don’t know if I should tithe or not, but I would donate a HUGE sum to my church McLean Bible! I would also donate to other ministries that have blessed me in the area. So either way, I would make sure God got true glory!

Balance a little more than 19 million or so

And finally, I would invest my money (what was left of it anyways) heavily overseas and quit my job! And no I would not buy a new car and I would not buy a whole NEW wardrobe. I would add to what I had and maintain what I got, because then people would figure it out. I might get a few extra things, but I want to live and not die!

you had the ability/opportunity to pursue your dream without anything holding you back (time, people, capitol, etc) but had to drop everything right now and do it, would you?

5 - YES! Absolutely! Not even a question. But can I just post a quick bulletin on myspace first! LOL!
you were given the opportunity to change one moment in history (yours or anyone else’s), what would it be and why?

6 - MINE! ME! I would change Jan of 1997. That’s when I just did some really stupid stuff and those events would have made me better.

you were given the chance to see the person you were put on this earth to love, but had to give up what you value most for just the opportunity to “see” them (note: see, not interact/talk)

7 - No I wouldn’t see them. I would just wait because I can’t give up what I value the most.

you could only listen to one song on your radio/digital music device for 30days, what would it be?

8 - Whitney Houston — I will always Love you

you were given $1000 (post tax) per week for the rest of your life (in addition to your supplemental income), what would you do with it?

9 - I would pay bills with half and save the other half in a high-interest yield account.

you had to live your life over again up until this point….what would you change? (toughest one)

10 - OH LORD! Well not to be too wordy and long-winded, I would change how I have handled all my relationships with men. I wouldn’t have dated or been friends with or been in a relationship with 75% of the men that I know or knew. Yes including Darryl. I would have chosen not to be with him. And I think I would have been better off and married by now, if I hadn’t. And I would have followed my own heart and mind as far as jobs and education went, because I listened to people who I thought knew what was best for me, but I was wrong. And OHHHH I would have buckled down and gotten my license much sooner, But such is life, God knew what was going to happen before I was born, so in some ways, I can’t live my life over again, there is no way, because my destiny was already determined before I was even born.

Ok Mr. Future, there you have it! Read it and applaud me!

your best friend stopped being your best friend….for no reason.
well i guess they weren’t my best friend then….or if it was because of something i did i would go back to them and make things right.

you went home tonight and found your dwelling completely destroyed by an act of God….
I guess i would cry and ask God why….then i would leave it in his hands (knowing God has a divine plan for my life) and everything happens for a reason.

you found a lotto ticket worth 100 million on the street (be real and detailed with this answer)
Well i would get a new house for my family and I…Buy a working vehicle for everyone in the family. Invest in it and ask God what I should be doing with the money.

you had the ability/opportunity to pursue your dream without anything holding you back (time, people, capitol, etc) but had to drop everything right now and do it, would you?
If thats what God said to do then, heck yeah, i would do it.

you were given the opportunity to change one moment in history (yours or anyone else’s), what would it be and why?
When prayer and the bible were taken out of the school system….Because crime rates are at its peak in America, since no morals are being taught in the public schools!

you were given the chance to see the person you were put on this earth to love, but had to give up what you value most for just the opportunity to “see” them (note: see, not interact/talk)
yes….

you could only listen to one song on your radio/digital music device for 30days, what would it be?
lol idk umm….i’d listen to myself sing instead
you were given $1000 (post tax) per week for the rest of your life (in addition to your supplemental income), what would you do with it?
use it for youth outreaches or for evangelistic purposes…

you had to live your life over again up until this point….what would you change? (toughest one)
I would say that for most of it i wouldn’t change anything…..but if i could redo something it would be to have never lied to my parents and friends, and just to have been open and honest with them. But everything happens for a reason, and God uses stuff in peoples lives as examples to others who are going through similar situations. We’re never perfect only God is!!
