What were your plans for self-improvement in the New System?

    Strangely enough, I wasn't all that interested in the Bible All-Stars (great phrase, Low Key! ) My crowning achievement for the first 150 years would be to assist in the revival of PBS (educational television, for you non-Yanks). I was going to host a show called An Evening with... sort of Charlie Rose but with the more obscure Really Cool People of secular history. Queen Elizabeth I, George Washington Carver, maybe Vaslav Nijinksy, Emma Goldman, oh definitely Harriet Tubman...

    But in the pre-TV era I was going to master ALL the cool skillz I'd read about in Mother Earth News. For starters, I was going to have an entire garden devoted exclusively to dye plants, and flax, and a flock of sheep, and spin/dye/weave my own cloth. When that got stale I was going to take up glassblowing. Now, was that before or after mastering the harp, violin, hammer dulcimer and Irish bagpipes?

    I was also looking forward to other people's accomplishments: the aforesaid Carver's children's TV show, Botany 4 U; George Gershwin's Variations on a Theme by John Lennon (which he would probably give some much hipper title)... et cetera ...

    Life is too short. Still.

    I wanted to map and then reproduce via scale diorama, a perfect copy of the ocean floor.

    Well, that would be the first couple thousand year project anyhow...

    I was going to marry a fabulously beautiful and voluptuous former porn queen turned JayDub and do "it" for eternity, coming up for air every now and then!

    JEANNIEBEANZ! The Bible CLEARLY tells us "The sea shall be no more!" Tsk tsk. I guess there won't be any whales n stuff in the New World.

    I was thinking about the ability to fly like the birds and thus be able to move in that third dimension and not just in one plane as we do now. Great to do this with your woman.

    Kick it with all the Bible All-Stars

    LOL @ LKL.

    JT says he told friends he was going to play with tigers. I believed I would be able to pet cobras.

    Also, entertained some thoughts of flinging myself off of cliff walls because there is no death in the new system, right? I felt I would miraculously be caught on the wings of eagles, a la Jesus.

    Great topic.

    I was raised in it but I never ever thought about it. Is that strange?

    I didn't really make any concrete plans, I just wanted to get there

    Rekless said it all from my point of view. How does one improve on perfection?
