Sing with King

Today we picked Stephen King. Here's Wednesday Wickedness!

1. “I tend to scare myself…”
When was the last time you scared yourself?

I scared myself when I almost talked my self into a commitment based on compromise

4. “When it comes to the past, we all stack the deck…”
Is there something in your past you speak highly of that was not so great while you were going through it?

I talk about everything which makes who I am today - my mistakes made me stronger and better! And in everything that happened I was a culprit too!

5. “Do you drink? Of course! I just said I was a writer!..”
What do you need to drink to do?

To do what? Write? Word Soup :)

9. “The trust of the innocent is the liar’s most useful tool…”
Were you ever conned or fooled into a scam?

No - not that I recall

10. “If fear cannot be articulated, then it can’t be conquered…”

Martin Luther King, Jr. Wickedness

1. “A lie cannot live.” When was the last time you felt you were forced to lie?

When I had to keep my marriage from breaking 3 years ago

2. “A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.” What, besides the lives of your family, would you be willing to die for?

I don’t think anyone else deserves it except family

3. “A right delayed is a right denied.” Are there rights or freedoms that you’d give up to be safer?

Yes – how about the right to step out of home to work – I sure would like to stay in and work

4. “All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.” When was the last time that you solved a problem of yours just to create another?

Hahaha – you think I am nuts? Of course never!

5. “Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.” What do you have faith in?

I have faith in the UNSEEN

6. “I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.” Do you believe things in generally will usually win out?

Every beginning has a favorable end is what I say!

7. “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” When was the last time that you spoke out to help someone that you didn’t have to?

A lot of situations like that occur and eventually I block them out so I don’t end up saying unnecessary stuff

8. “It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.” Do you envision a time where the United States will not be at war? Why?

I don’t know – if they just mind their own business

9. “Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness.” Is there anything that you are bitter about that you cannot get over?

Mmm I am bitter about the future that aint coming grr!

10. “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” Do you take chances by speaking up even when it could cost you something?

Hmmmm yes – I do take a chance and then say sorry too :D
