IF You Could Meet ANYONE Dead or Alive- - Love Forum

Who would it be and why?

This is a toughy for me-Ive been thinking about this for the last 24 hours. Someone my brother met online asked him this within the first 2 conversations they had- I think its an odd thing to ask-but honestly-damnit I cant narrow it down. I thought of Van Goeh, Monet-etc-those artists who just arent out there today-they've blown my mind away with their paintings and I cant think of anyone TODAY as an artist who has anywhere near that talent.

Then I think:Charles Manson cause hes such a damn freak and Ive seen some of his interviews and wonder how in the hell could someone be that damn intelliegent and yet be a pyscho-( had a week dedicated to him in a pysch course in college)

I mean the last 24 hours Ive thought about this one on and off and still have people Im thinking about-I dont think I would ever ask someone Im just getting to know this question...

First person that always pops in my head when I hear this question is Jesus Christ. I'd love to just talk with him. But there are so many, I could go on for days about this. Like you Squirrley, I thought of Van Gogh, (just want to see if he was as insane as everyone says he was), but also, Shakespeare, Joan of Arc, Queen Liz I, King Arthur, Einstein, (although he'd probably talk over my head), Leonardo da Vinci, Elias Smith, (founder of my town) etc. etc. etc.

I would like to meet Jesus Christ. He's got answers I need.
Hitler. I'd like to kick his ass.

See it is hard-and Ive thought of Jesus too-sure did and do-and youre right to walk with Him alone would be incredible. Words wouldnt describe that walk. I could think of so many people but it was a question that I thought was so intriguing and got me really thinking...

The founder of your town? Thats interesting...Id like to meet my great great grandmother whose part indian-and talk to her about her heritage-see if there were any Story Tellers in our family. Oh and Christopher Columbus-cause he took the chance-what possessed him...what drove him to do what he did...dang my list is growing here...

Yeah, just find the history of my town kinda romantic. Wondered what it was like back then and what ever possessed him to move from the States up here.

Why not?

Some people would argue Jesus is fictional. But lets not go there today.

Thats cool Breezy-didnt realize your town was full of romantic things-that is neat! And yea have some Cherokee like a 1/4 or something-and French too. From Quebec. I have a lot of little bits and peices but mostly french I think.

I actually liked Mobys thought on Hilter...I think any of us would like to kick his ass.

Nah. When I say fictional, I think someone who was maybe a main character of a movie (but COULD be real). For instance (and this is NOT my choice), but for instance, lets say someone like Will Hunting from Good Will Hunting. Or someone who we're not sure about their existence and what they did (Like King Arthur mentioned above . . . the legends about the round table MAY just be legends, but could we meet him as though they WERE real?)

Stuff like that. Anyways, I have to think about this one.

Yeah, you're right Alexi. When I said King Arthur, I was kinda thinking about Sir Lancelot and the whole fabled Knights of the Round Table thing. But wouldn't that be grand??? Of course then you'd get to meet the mighty Merlin too. sweeeeet!

sfalexi · #12 (**permalink**) 07-06-04, 04:45 AM

And his faithful Hawk "Silverwings".

sfalexi · #13 (**permalink**) 07-06-04, 04:46 AM

Or in Disney's rendition, his owl, "Archimedes"

sfalexi · #14 (**permalink**) 07-06-04, 04:47 AM

I keep up with WAY too many legends/fables. Maybe I should start learning about REAL stuff, huh?

Breezy18 · #15 (**permalink**) 07-06-04, 04:51 AM

ROFL Alexi. Too funny, my friend. I forgot about those sidekicks. You've got a great memory. I haven't seen that Disney one in ages. It was hilarious.
