Conversation Starter Answers

I try to write at least one blog article per week. My blog at this point doesn't really have much of a focus, or at least not one singular topic; typically I either write about past experiences or thoughts on films, books, or other pieces of pop culture I expose myself to. This week I decided to try something a little different. Oftentimes when I get together with my family we will answer conversation starter questions we find on our phones online. So for this blog article I will be answering a few conversation starter questions. They can all be found on https://conversationstartersworld.com/250-conversation-starters/.

Question #1 - What was the last funny video you saw?

Answer #1 - One of my favorite podcasts is Word Funk, which is basically just three friends discussing things and their take on them. In their latest episode they discuss the antics of Kanye West, Star Trek, James Bond, and more.



Question # 2 - What was the last movie you watched? How was it?

Answer # 2 - This past Tuesday I went and saw A Star is Born at the theater. I absolutely loved it! I thought the acting between Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga was amazing. Loved the music. Probably one of the better times I've had at a movie theater in awhile. I haven't seen any of the previous versions of this film, although I might check them out at some point. 



Question # 3 - What was the last book you read?

Answer # 3 - The last book that was text only that I read was Small Fry, written by Lisa Brennan-Jobs. I actually wrote about it in a previous post. If comics and graphic novels were included in this question then the answer would be Marvel's The Infinity Gauntlet, which I actually finished reading earlier today. 

Question # 4 - What is the worst restaurant you have ever eaten at?

Answer # 4 - 7/11.

Question # 5 - Have you ever travelled to any different countries? Which ones?

Answer # 5 - Yes. So far I have been to Israel (where I also lived and did volunteer work in for nearly two years), Cyprus, France, and Canada. 

Question # 6 - Where would you like to travel to next?

Answer # 6 - I have a long list of places I would love to travel to. I've thought about visiting Hawaii and/or Japan in the near future. 

Question # 7 - What are some goals you have already achieved?

Answer # 7 - Reached the rank of Eagle Scout, earned a Bachelor's degree, lived and worked abroad, worked at the Baha'i World Centre, and have written and published a book (my children's book Mele the Mermaid). 



Question # 8 - What do you think of buffets? 

Answer # 8 - Love them!

Question # 9 - Do you like classical music?

Answer # 9 - Yes. I would have to say that Strauss is my favorite classical composer. 



Question # 10 - What's the strangest movie you have ever seen?

Answer # 10 - Eraserhead, which was actually the first film David Lynch directed.

Using Imagination to Accept Facts

I read an article recently titled “18 Really Toxic Things People’s Family Members Had the Nerve to do at Thanksgiving Dinner.” Basically a bunch of people contributed to the article and described insane things happening at their Thanksgiving dinner, ranging from simple etiquette blunders to family members having affairs. I browsed the comment section and saw that one person posted, “None of these are true. #3 is among the fakest thing I’ve ever read. If you believe any of this I honestly think I could convince you to eat a rock.” I on the other hand thought, “Yeah, I could see any one of these incidents happening.” I feel that sometimes people have a hard time believing things that are true because they have no real experience with what’s being described. For example, one of my favorite books that I’ve read in the past couple of years has been Tara Westover’s “Educated: A Memoir.” It’s gotten mostly universal praise, this tale of a young woman who went from being in an abusive ho

Me vs. Cracked.com

Hey everyone! Hope all of you are doing well! I know it’s been a bit since I have written in my blog. Been kind of busy, between my job, working out, and of course putting the finishing touches on my new book, “ The Princess of Infinite Tomorrows: Child of Prophecy.” If you haven’t checked out my new novel yet, feel free to do so (hint hint, wink wink). Anyway, here is my latest blog article and thoughts about life in general.   I’m not really a big fan of the website cracked.com. I’ve enjoyed some of their articles but in the past few years or so I feel that the writers in general try way too hard to sound edgy and cynical. I’m not saying that it’s necessarily bad to write something edgy or cynical, but oftentimes when I have read the articles on cracked.com, I feel that they often try way too hard. Also there have been multiple times in which I have found that facts touted in the site’s articles are often just plain wrong.   One of the articles cracked.com posted is titled, “9 Lame H

The Jetsons' Car That Turns Into a Suitcase

  Back in the 1960s, a lot of people thought we’d have flying cars by the year 2000. It’s 2020 now and we’re probably still a little ways away from flying cars. I’d love to see them come to fruition at some point in my life, although realistically I think the automobile industry should first focus on making vehicles much more energy efficient, and perhaps also self-driven. Flying cars have been a staple in science fiction for decades upon decades, but perhaps they’re most famous in the classic cartoon “The Jetsons.” I was just looking at the opening of “The Jetsons” on youtube and there are a couple of things I noticed. One thing is that while it still looks futuristic, stylistically the animation feels very much like the 1960s. This is pretty common in science fiction, for the style to look like the era it was made in, or for people to look and behave like people from the era the series or film was made in rather than the future. If you watch “2001: A Space Odyssey,” the clothes t
