Hello Everyone,
I decided to do another round of ask the Minion because I have had fun with the first couple so here goes. Before I start, I think most of you know this but I want to be clear on one thing. I am in no way associated with the movie Despicable Me. I just liked the character so I put it on my page.
BA - Why do I call my blog the Opinion of the Minion - Originally, I was really just joking about writing a blog with some of the guys in the office. While on a trip to Houston in February, a friend of mine asked me where two people were who should have been with us working. He asked me where the minions were. I thought it was funny at the time. When I decided to start writing my own blog, I knew it was basically going to be my opinion and minion just rhymed so the name stuck. What I didn't see happening was the number of people who would actually read what I write. It is still very difficult for me to wrap my mind around all the people who are fans of this blog. Thank you all.
ANH - Have you ever resolved the problem with the anti-gravity serum? - I'm not associated with the movie.
EW - What's my Opinion on gay people - Wow. This is a loaded question. First of all, I love people period. Gay, straight, black, white, green, purple, or orange. I know some people who are gay and they are really nice people. However, I think what you are asking me is do I think being gay is right? The answer is - What I think isn't important. What the bible says is. If I look in the bible, it says that same sex relationships like that are wrong. Please don't send me any hate letters. I didn't write the book. I'm just telling you what it says. Now before you gay bashers start chiming in on how wrong you think homosexuality is, let me tell you something else. Jesus told people to work on themselves before they got into other people's business. He said that people are walking around making a big deal out of someone elses' sin that is little while they have massive sin in their lives. What does that mean, mind your own business. It's not my place to judge a gay person. It's not my place to judge anyone. When they get to heaven, they can take it up with God. It won't matter to me at that point because I will have plenty of areas where I am wrong to discuss with God. He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone.
RS - Why can't you give me $10? - RS, many people in my life have asked me for money. You are the first one to do it on the Minion and that's funny.
MMDM - Do you think aliens are real? If so, why? - I think there is life that is not on earth. After all, God is a real person and he is in Heaven. We know that Heaven isn't on earth. It is a real place and it is somewhere so there must be life outside earth. I don't know if God put other life forms on other planets though.
SB - Why did you pick that as your profile picture? - When I was setting up my FB page, I needed something to go up as a profile picture and I wanted a picture of a minion because of the name. I really didn't know what to expect but I knew I didn't want anything that looked scary or bad. When I googled pictures of a minion, the one I used came up and I liked it.
ZKR - What language do you speak? - I don't know much about the movie characters but I speak English. I can speak very very little German and even less French.
TM - If you choked a minion for an experiment, what color would it turn? - That's cute. No clue.
JC Part 1 - Explain to me what the real definition of success is in today's society? - JC is a good personal friend of mine so let me start by asking JC something. Would you consider me a success? Why? The definition of success in society is how much wealth you have and what you have been able to achieve like college degrees, etc. Unfortunately, that measuring system has nothing to do with success. Success in life is really measured by the number of lives you touch and how you touch them. Are you a good dad, friend, husband, wife, mom, etc.? Do you help people when they are in need if you can? Do you have good relationships? Are you trying to make a positive difference in the people's lives around you? If so, then I would call you a success. Success is measured in the quality of your relationships not the value of your bank account.
JC Part 2 - What will break the cast system we currently need to overcome today for everyone to be able to thrive and prosper together peacefully? - OK you will definitely not like my answer on this one. The answer is the second coming of Christ. The bible says that in this life you will have trouble and that there will be wars and rumors of wars. So the live together peacefully part won't happen until then. As far as breaking the caste system, I think people have to wake up and want out of it. If you look at many people today, you will see apathy. They simply don't care about what is going on around them enough to make any kind of change. Let's take politics for example. If enough people don't like someone, they can get together and have him or her voted out of office. Does that happen normally? No because it takes a lot of a four letter word - work. When I was at my heaviest, I was always telling your brother that I was going to lose weight. Finally one day he told me that I was a liar. He said that when I got tired of being fat, I wouldn't be fat anymore. I think it applies to breaking out of the caste system as well. People have to get tired of it but most don't. They are more interested in watching TV than changing things.
IR - What's a question? -That's funny.
IR - What would you do in case of a Zombie Apocalypse? - No clue. Again, that's funny.
WH - How can you recover from a broken friendship? - This is probably a good question for a completely separate blog. In short, it takes time to heal from a broken friendship. They are the hardest because typically it's someone you trust. To start with, find someplace safe. Because you are a guy, I will give you a piece of advice that applies to everyone but we guys don't do this much. Let it hurt. It's going to and when you feel pain, it's your body and spirit telling you something is wrong. I tried to shut all painful emotions out of my life for a long time and it made me very callous which is a bad place to be. Next, own up to anything you did in that relationship that was wrong. Here's another thing I see a lot today, people are afraid to be wrong. It's OK to be wrong. Guess what, there was only one man ever to walk this planet who never made a mistake. You and I are going to make them. After that, ask God to forgive you of anything you have done wrong. These next two can be hard. First - forgive the other person. You shouldn't be around them if they are going to continue to hurt you but forgiving them will help you heal. Second - forgive yourself. After that, it takes time.
JC - lotto numbers - If I knew, I would have already bought my own ticket. :-)
SS - What is the name of the minion in your picture? - I don't know.
TK - Do you like pie? - Yup. My favorite is my grandmother's homemade pecan pie fresh out of the oven with a scoop of ice cream on top.
MS - Why can't minions talk? - I don't know.
BP - Why are they yellow and not, like, purple? - Again I don't know.
EM - Do you think the world will end in 2012? - Probably not but I don't know. Here's why I say that. The world will radically change when Jesus comes back the second time but from what I have read in the bible, I will be around for a few years after that. The bible also says we don't know the day or the hour when Jesus will return. So if everyone says 2012 then I doubt it will be then.
MS - How can the force of gravity come together from mostly the sun and make the world end in 2012? - No idea.
BA - When are you going to answer all these questions? - Today. Sorry it took so long.
BM - What's a minion bible story? - It's a story from the bible that I try to tell in my own words. Several weeks ago a couple of people asked me if I would write them so I thought I would give them a try.
SS - Can you rap anything? - Nope
DP - Are you a glow stick? - Nope
JB - What's your girlfriend's name? - I don't have one yet.
JB - Have you cheated on her and what's your dad's name and your momma's name? - I don't have one and so I can't cheat on her but I wouldn't anyway. If she isn't the girl that I can't stand to be without then I won't stay with her anyway. I want the girl that looks fine dressed up but is more beautiful to me in blue jeans and a tee shirt with her hair in a pony tail. I want the girl that I cannot stand to leave. Someone that I just need five more minutes looking at her and talking to her. I want her to be physically attractive certainly but that's not enough. She has to be attractive as a whole person. If I find that, there will never be any need to cheat on her. My parents names are John and Donna.
GD - Republican or Democrat? - Hard to say. Neither party has a clue about fiscal responsibility, neither party seems really accountable to the American public and I am not convinced that either of them has the best interest of the country at heart. That said, from what I know in extremely broad terms, the Democratic party tends to want bigger government and that is just a mistake so I typically vote Republican.
JWG - How is cooler: Pon or Zi? - I don't know.
SDJ - Why are minions yellow? - I don't know.
AR - Why can the minions only say ehhh and ahhhh? - I don't know.
SG - Does this page have a contest? - Sort of. I like to give out "The Box" awards. What are they? I will try to write a post but I like to give out an award to someone who does things for others. If you know of someone, let me know and we can talk about getting them an award.
AA - How small are the minions in inches? - I don't know.
JH - Who does the voices of the minions in the movie Despicable Me and why do they talk in an alien sort of language? - I don't know
And those are answers from The Minion
