I'm going to try and go see this

Probably awaiting trial for triple homicide

That or trying to get reelected to Congress.

thats cool. is this like the eclipse in 1991?

I'll be living on my own, in a secluded area in the Countryside.

I'll be living alone somewhere either abroad or somewhere sw us with dogs. revelling in the silence of the mountains and abyss around me.

That's 25, so I should be through my second job as a journalist after pissing off the first boss, and I've probably started to irritate the staff of my job then. I'm also entering a depression/murderous phase, and I recently broke up with third girlfriend, so I just threatened some bastard on the street and he might press charges. That night, I looked up the name and a manual for sniper rifles. I am slightly addicted to a drug, likely coke, acid, or khat.

i think id probably be somewere near scoots watching that eclipse, i have seen many partials(overcame the fear of them and seen my first in feb 26, 1998) i was in middle school.


my mom and grandmother are in that area in tennessee so they will probably see the greatest of it.


i think in 2025 theres suppose to be one over eastern coast(near nj and pa) i cant wait to see that one too.


scoots i assume ur a astronomy person also??? into watching eclipses(safely i hope)

I'll be 36 then...

Hopefully I'll be spending time between working at a steady research job and raising my kids.


Yep. Crazy goals.

Thinking about what to do with my mutual funds.

Invest early, invest often.

Can't afford to save? I say, "How can you afford not to?"

Think about the future.

I can't really say, I don't really look to the future as I, like most people, change my opinion from time to time. Plus I could be dead before this, you never know. I live for the present and try to enjoy it as much as possible.

I'm not too much into astronomy. I do remember the eclipse of 1991, although I was no where near it.

What I do remember was the partial eclipse of May 10, 1994. Where I was the sun 85% covered and at about 11:00am or so, it started to get really dark outside, even though the sun was still out. I was out at lunch during the maximum and it was really wierd outside. It was daylight out, but the air felt like nighttime, and everybodys pupils were dialated wide open.

The strangest thing though I recall was the cresent shaped shawdows being cast by everything due to the camera obscurea effect.

That does look interesting maybe plan a camping trip around it bringing proper eyewear of course

heyyyyy i remmeber that one really well, it was in may, i was in 4th grade and that morning i was watching eyewitness news and tehy talked of a solor eclipse. well tehy scared me when the cameraman decided it was cute to zoom in on the sun and moon about 100x. (this had me soooo scared i actually refused to go outside for recess!! yes thats right refused to go outside fearing id see this big alian like and humungus black disk and sun getting covered.

the may eclipse it did start at about 10:45 and didnt end til about 1:00 pm(1300) the greatest i remember was looking out window. it looked like it was about to rain outside.

the most interesting eclipse was xmas day 2002. that thing was like 5 hours long!! !

it was cool though seeing a grin through blinds and through a welding lens(#12)

What will I be doing on August 21st 2017? Doing time for stink bombing kindtree. If I find out I'm being short changed.
