Sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell

I have what I think is a good idea. I’d like to interview most of my friends (one at a time), 50 questions style about their habits, philosophies, prophecies, and ideas via camcorder. I’d then like to compile the results somehow and do the same thing (interview them all again, same questions) 5 or 10 (or both) years later to see how they’ve grown, what changes in their lives they’ve had, etc.

My only reservation is that people might think it’s a waste of time and not want to cooperate. I just think it would be a fun, sociological ‘experiment’ to see how people change and how people view their lives and the future. Plus, I’d get a lot more use out of the camcorder and get to come up with some cool, interesting questions. I’ll put that on the back burner. Hard part would be getting people together to do so, as some of my friends are rather spread out.

Random Thoughts Of The Afternoon:
I trimmed my beard this morning. I feel so much more attractive when I’m sporting a well-maintained beard. A co-worker of mine is growing a mustache. I think he looks like a Muppet from Sesame Street. Guy Smiley or something.

I have a tendency to get pimples on my temples. It hurts when I’m putting on or taking off my glasses or when I forget and touch my temple. It sucks to be me, sometimes.

I wanted to get a Working Assets credit card, but I think they went under. Anybody know of a good (moral) company to get a credit card through? The only reason I want to continue having one is to maintain my ‘good credit’ so I can buy a house when I want to. Stupid? You betcha.

I think I’ll be buying some cheese curds tonight.

I like your idea.

If I was really cool and original, I would have thought it up first, but..nah.

I say go for it.

And if they're uncooperative, just remember to stick those metal poles in their arms and legs, and that'll keep 'em quiet for a while.

Thanks, I think it'll be fun to compile a list of questions and come up with some good long-range planning questions. Do you think I should give them the question list ahead of time or have them all be 'suprised' by my questions. I think there would be a lot of 'hmmm, let me think' time if I didn't give them a heads-up ahead of time.

Do you have some extra metal poles if I am met with resistance?

Personally, I'd let them see some general questions beforehand, as in, you shouldn't let them see the EXACT questions beforehand.

That way, they have some heads up, but there's still that nice "surprise" factor, which could lead to more spontaneous and fun answers.


And of course I have some extra poles!

They come quite in handy when dealing with narcoleptics.

Reallll fun. ;)

I think you make a good point about sharing it ahead of time. I'll have to work on a good question list.
