So you see, a little bit of time ago in the past, a 50 day younger version of myself was perusing the internet. Probably looking up pointless crap but I did stumble upon this blog post:
http://www.marcandangel.com/2009/07/13/50-questions-that-will-free-your-mind. I spent about ten minutes reading it over and thinking about and came to the conclusion that it was pretty cool. I then had the idea, which I thought at the time was genius, to start a project lasting fifty days. I would share these questions with the fellow people whom I have wasted far too much time of my life with online.
So that day I began a quest to hopefully bring one good discussion a day to the forum of Loungin' and who knows, maybe help a fella out or get someone to really think about their life.
As most people probably witnessed, it unfortunately degenerated into people complaining that I didn't provide my own sufficient answers to the questions I presented, or that I made too many philosophical threads, or that I just wanted answers for my psychology homework, or... something. Someone even created a
thread about me and the whole "ordeal" which I actually thought was kinda neat. But hey, now you all know the real reason for it!
So yeah, this was my project. It seemed like a better idea when I started it but I have to say I'm at least satisfied with how it turned out. Hopefully, someone benefited from one of the fifty threads; that was my goal.
Cheers!
