Interview Meme

Just in time for today’s post, I received the questions I requested from mingaling (aka new roomie) for my Interview Meme.

1. What’s one thing you wish you could change about yourself?

   This is a tough question to answer.
   
   Short answer: Absolutely nothing.
   
   Long answer: There are several things I would like see different about me however my problem in answering this question is that I believe the journey is just as important (if not more so) than actually getting there. That’s part of a famous quote or line from something, isn’t it? Regardless, I don’t believe people appreciate something if they haven’t earned it. Sure, it would be great to wake up tomorrow and have dropped about 20 pounds but if I didn’t have to starve myself and bust my ass at the gym to get there, then I’ll just balloon back up before long. It’s like the white-trash lottery winner example. These people haven’t been able to save a nickel their entire life and then over night they end up with millions in the bank… in a few years, they’ll be worse off than they were before winning the lottery. All that being said, there are several things about me I’m actively working to change but there’s not a damn thing about me I would like to wake up and have any different.

2. If you could live forever on earth as it is now, would you? Why or why not?

   I guess it all depends on how literally the question is meant. I’m addicted to innovation so living in a world with technology as it is today with no advancement would seem like Hell on Earth after a few hundred years. I’m incredibly afraid of death though so if my options are to live forever here and now or death in 50-60 years… I’ll choose eternity, even if it means I’m stuck with the same ShitFuck DVR forever.

3. What song would describe how you’re feeling right now?

   “One Time for Me” by The Reverend Horton Heat

4. If you could do any job, what would you like to do?

   I’ve thought about this a lot and of course stand-up comedy would be a blast, but I think more than anything I would love to get into directing. I think it would be awesome to make movies or even music videos for that matter. Of course, that’s only if I didn’t make it as an astronaut or porn-star.

5. Is there someone you’d love to see right this very moment?

   I’m not a huge fan of people but at this moment it sure would be great to see Ed McMahon standing at my front door with that Publisher’s Clearing House check*. Or Kiera Knightly… Or someone who I know to be dead so I would know there is life after death.

There ya go. I think I’m supposed to include the following disclaimer: If you wish to participate in this Interview Meme, please send me an email or leave a comment below saying, “Interview Me.”

* Yes, I recognize this negates points made in my answer to question #1. Deal.
