Signed-up. Starts June 23rd.

3. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? - People do what they need to do to function/fit in. End of story.
10. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? - If you're doing the right thing can you do it wrong? I don't think so.
17. What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What’s holding you back? - Is it weird that I've not got anything that I really want to do?
23. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend? - Yes. I think so.
31. At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive? - IDK
38.Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing? - More that I enjoy doing.
45. If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? - Still not sure that I am afraid to make them. Maybe the huge ones that would kill me. But you should see the shit I've messed up at.

Working on a awesome little apocalypse themed blog post 1: 11-3-12.

2. Which is worse, failing or never trying? - Never Trying. Duh.
7. Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing? - You assume that I believe in something. This is assuming too much. I think it's unreasonable to require someone to believe in an actionable thing. People believe in ideas and theories. Things just are.
11. You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do? - It would depend on what we are criticizing. Is it petty? It would be interesting to ask 'why'. I think it would be more likely that I'd defend the principle in question rather than the individual. Depending on the magnitude of the issue I may even question my admiration of those people.
16. How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy? - Because people are individuals with unique sets of preferences.
21. Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? - Worried genius. Hands down.
27. Is is possible to know the truth without challenging it first? - I question the very premise that there is truth. Assuming there is truth it must be questioned in order for it to be verified, once something is verified it can be said to be known.
32. If not now, then when? - Now. I'm one to always satisfy the impulse.
37. If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job? - No. Don't be ridiculous.
41. If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? - Mom and Lauren. That is it.
46. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? - The only people who I don't act 100% myself around are at work. I'd come in later, drink at noon, let my tattoos show, and fly my freak-flag.


1. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? - about 62. And retired. And crazy.
6. If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich? - making a scene. my work being public. attention.
12. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? - Don't worry about 'should'
18. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? My family.
24. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? B.
36. Is it possible to know, without a doubt, what is good and what is evil? No.
42. Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous? Yes. I really don't want to be old. Ever. Things I don't want: dementia, to outlive my spouse, to become immobile.
48. What do you love? Have any of your recent actions openly expressed this love? The warm feeling of sun on your skin, the smell of fresh paint, a good story, grass. Yes.

Bet $50 on the Patriots to win the Superbowl in 2012 with a local sports book. It was looking good for me until the Giants pulled off a touchdown in the last few seconds of the game. Imagine my disappointment. :)
