In Depth Questions:

A morbid, dark question. A genie appears and tells you that you have a choice. You can either choose to live in solitary confinement in prison for the rest of your life or five people you don’t know and will never hear about instantly  die. Which would you choose and why?
“I would say probably kill five people. *laughs*. I might change my mind in the middle.”

 

Lets say you know you will live till 80. Would you give  up two years of your life for one day on the moon?

“Yea, I think I would, it would be a good experience”

 

All Holden in “The Catcher in the Rye” wants to do is stop kids from falling off a cliff. If you could have any job,assuming all salaries for every job are equal, what would you want to do? why?

“I would have a job that requires me to sing, but also where I could help out people at the same time.”

 

“Like music therapy?”

 

“Yea I guess you could say that. I don’t know much about music therapy, but if it works to really help people I would do that”

 

Android or IOS or Windows? What made you choose?

“Android. I don’t know I just like it, if it works, then it’s good for me”

 

Do you believe in God(s)? A sort of life force you couldn’t actually describe if your life depended on it?  what are your views on the statement “I believe in god but not organized religion”?

 

“I do believe in God, and I understand that statement and why people would probably feel that way [about organized religion] because sometimes it can be corrupt. But of course that was never the intention for it in the first place. Plus, God is more concerned with our relationship with Him, not the bureaucratic structure of religion.”

 

“Are you of any specific faith?”

 

“Yea, I’m a Christian”

 

Who would you say are the top five best looking celebrities/models?

“Morris Chestnut, Idris Elba,”

*friend sitting nearby * “Michael Ealy”,

“what’s the guys name from the tyler perry movies?”

Friend: “Lance Cross”

“Yea, lance Cross, umm, Channing Tatum, and yea Michael Ealy. there so many cute guys. I’ll just pick those on the spot.”

 

JRR Tolkien, author of the Lord of the Rings, wrote “Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.” Do you agree with capitol punishment? Hitler and the 9/11 terrorists included.

 

“I think I do, actually you know what I don’t really know, I haven’t really thought about it. But if I had to choose, I guess sometimes you do have to pay for what you do, but in the case of the terrorists and hitler, they deserve to die, maybe not killing them, but they do deserve to die”

 

“Oh I get it, so they do deserve to die but it shouldn’t be our decision to kill them.”

 

“Yea if that makes sense”

 

Would you let a guy pay for you on a date / would you insist on paying for the date? why?

 

“I would let the guy pay. Just on the first date. [he should pay] when we’re still getting to know each other, but once your in a relationship it’s different. I’m in a relationship now, and sometimes he will sometimes I will, but in the beginning he would always pay, so yea, I would expect him to, or, let him pay.”

 

If you could relive one day, which would it be?

 

“I would relive, hmm, that is really really hard. I guess me going to Barbados.”

 

“Anything specific?”


“Yea I guess seeing family, I met a lot of family there, and I guess that day we were just touring around. There are so many days I would like to relieve. But we’ll just keep it like that”

 

Thank You for your time Jasmine!
