I think I would like to meet Walt Disney and ask him if the Disney parks are everything he envisioned them to be.

I was just talking about this with my boyfriend the other day, I told him If I was ever asked who I would want to meet if I had the chance to pick anyone, It would be Montel williams, I LOVE him I think he is so smart and he would just be someone I would love to have a conversation with.

He looks a nice guy! His dad was 'the first African-American Fire Chief'. Don't you think that someone ought to invent a less challenging term for that? I guess Obama is to be the first 'African-American president'. Is that any different, really, from being an 'Irish-American' or 'Italian-American'? I guess that what the term 'African-American' really means is 'out of slavery' (yes, still ... in this day and age!) Obama can't (and doesn't) claim that but people seem to imply it, all the same. I love Americans but get so exasperated, sometimes about the way some of them frame things!
Do you think your b/f would get on with Montel Williams too? I guess you both get to spend the day with him ... or is that not what you had in mind?

The Dalai Lama, in hopes of imbibing his aura of calmness and contentment.

Walt Disney was, by all accounts, a very lovely and gentle man. I think he also became a business man but the industry that took his name is run by people who are quite foreign to his real spirit. I'm not sure that he would have felt his heart was really in the Disney parks - or in the rest of the great marketing concern that is really what 'Disney' is. It is one thing for a man to have an ability to make people laugh and cry through his art, it is quite another for people to market it. I believe that Walt Disney enjoyed both but that he was primarily an artist and left the money-making largely to other people.
If I had the choice to meet anyone in history for a day only, I think it would have to be Jesus, the man (whoever and whatever he really was). I would like to see for myself what it was about him that prompted Simon Peter (and others) to think of him as the Son of God.
If I were to be given the privilege of meeting someone living today, then I would want to meet Barack Obama - not as a politician but as a private, family man. I would like to be able to assess how I thought he would be able to cope with the new job he has ... and how strong he is in being able to follow through on the great goals that he - as all politicians must do - has set himself.

V must be someone really special to you. I hope you get the courage (like the Lion in the Wizard of Oz).

Hehe! Tell us more about Bill Kaulitz. I guess that if you use your day to ask him to be your grad date, then you cheated because you will get to see him twice (at least), LOL.
So what is so cool about this guy? (And would it stand up to dating, let alone the rest of your life?)
As a compensation for it not ever happening, you can try dressing the guy up here: http://www.stardoll.com/en/dolls/650/Bill_Kaulitz_.html ... hey, if you can dress him up, you also get to 'dress him down' (in your dreams of course!)

Hahaha very funny, but I went to that site before since I though I'd give him a sweet makeover. But it wasn't too interesting.
Heehee. Yeah I may have cheated with the question. But his passion in what he puts into his lyrics about things people go through in life feels like as if he's talking to me through song... But I would probably have lots of tears of joy when it comes to meeting Bill. I just wanna hug him!
