Monday Mission

It's the 2 minute warning and the Packers are beating the Raiders 24-7. Bret Favre is having a tremendous game at quarterback even after losing his father. I haven't done a Monday Mission in a long time and now PromoGuy is winding it down. Only 2 more Monday Missions left after today. So, here goes.

PromoGuy's Monday Mission 3.51

1. Last night, I had a nightmare that my car had been stolen. I and a female companion were leaving a party and my car, that had been parked in the street, was gone. It was so real, that my pulse was quickening. I panicked, and said to myself "It must be a dream, I have to wake up!" I crouched down on my feet, grabbed my head and with all my might fought to wake up. Finally, I did, and it really was a dream, but my heart was pounding so bad that it took a while to calm down. Have you ever had a dream so real, that inside the dream you had to fight to wake yourself up? Do you remember the dream?

It's been a long time since I've had that kind of dream where I was trying to wake myself up. I've had some dreams lately, though, that feel as real as reality. Of course, how do I know that this isn't a dream and the dream isn't reality?

2. I've mentioned this before, but I really don't believe in the concept of a "soul-mate." Maybe this is because I've never really felt like I have met mine. Once I thought maybe, but she felt someone else was hers. Could be that in another relationship I met her, and for some reason it didn't work out, but then, we wouldn't really have been soul-mates, would we? So, when I hear someone say "I've met my soul-mate" I cringe and roll my eyes and mumble "yeah, right." How would you define the concept of a "soul-mate" is? Do you believe in such things? Have you met your soul-mate?

My definition: my wife. Of course, I had to marry the wrong woman first!

3. What does it take to make men happy anyway?

If you're talking about what does a woman have to do to make a man happy, I recall the words of an old friend: Just show up naked with a six-pack. Just show up naked. Just show up with a six-pack. Oh hell, just show up.

4. What is your favorite piece of electric hardware, and why?

I take it you don't mean my Apple PowerBook. I'd have to say my cordless drill because it's so versatile.

5. Yesterday in our adult Sunday School class, a lady was telling us about a woman with car trouble she had stopped to help. Now, the lady who stopped had her own 2 small children in her car. With so much uncertainty out there, I am not so sure I would stop to help a stranger if I had 2 children in my car. Turns out though, that the motorist was a mother who had a 15-month old in the car and was on the way to church. She also had just lost an infant and was having the service the next day, but now would have no way to get there. Eventually she got the lady and her child to her church. It left me wondering how many people I had just driven by that I could have helped. But at the same time, I felt like she was taking too big of a risk stopping to help a stranger when it was just her and her children. Have you ever stopped to help a stranded motorist? Has anyone ever stopped to help you when you were stranded? Isn't there some element of risk involved when helping someone with car trouble, or is it better to just "do unto others as you'd have them do unto you?"

I can't say that I've ever stopped to help a stranded motorist. I'd also rather wait for AAA than have a stranger stop.

6. Just for fun, what is the one present you'd like for Christmas, but you know there is no way you will?

A PowerMac G5 with dual processors.

7. What are you thankful for this Christmas [or your current holiday this season]?

My wife, my son and that I've kept my sanity these last couple of years.

BONUS: Could you hurry, sir? Daddy says there's not much time.

Relax, you're going to give yourself a heart attack.

Today's Comment Question: Did you see Lord of the Rings: Return of the King? Any good?

I haven't seen any of them. I'm starting to feel this invisible peer pressure to see them though. I guess I'll have to start from the beginning.
