DoctorTeeth has written 50 entries about this goal

33. If you haven’t achieved it yet, what do you have to lose?

Pride. Self-respect. Dignity. The illusion and delusion of perfection.

(Missed this one the first time through!)



50. Decisions are being made right now. The question is: Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you?

I think I’m making more decisions for myself now than I have in the past. I think more decisions are being made for me than I am making, though. So, basically: I’m working on it.



49. In 5 years from now, will you remember what you did yesterday? What about the day before that? Or the day before that?

I believe I will remember what I did yesterday. And I believe I will remember something about the day before that. Maybe not the day before the day before that, though.



48. What do you love? Have any of your recent actions openly expressed this love?

This is another question that makes me go, “What the hell does this even mean?” I love a lot of things. Usually I do things that I love. For instance: I love coffee and I am openly drinking coffee in a restaurant right now. I love comics and I bought some comics and read them a couple of days ago. I love my wife and I insisted she get the massage at the spa she wanted to go to even though it didn’t have a pedicure for me (because the first spa we were going to go to, that had both massages and pedicures, is closed and we had to find another one). Is this what this question means? I’m so confused.



47. When was the last time you noticed the sound of your own breathing?

Just after reading this question.



46. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?

Dance. I hate my body and I love to dance, if I knew nobody would judge me I would dance like a motherf*er.



45. If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake?

I think this is a theme for my entire series of answers, but: fear of failure is, I believe, a human trait. Because failure means a loss of status and importance and a reminder that you are, indeed, imperfect. And I think people like to pretend they are infallible.



44. When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right?

The last possible second. (PROCRASTINATOR!)



43. What is the difference between being alive and truly living?

I suppose it means being grateful for every day and trying things that scare you. So I guess I’m just alive. And I’m okay with that for now.



42. Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous?

Hmm. I’m going to say no. I’ve never been attractive and don’t think it would help me out at this point in my life, and being “famous” for no reason holds NO appeal to me at all. If I was a famous scientist or singer, then…then maybe. Because that would mean that I would be a GOOD scientist or a GOOD singer. But just to be “famous” means almost nothing to me.
