Interview Meme
5/23/2005
Kjersti offered up these interview questions. I know, I'm a little slow getting around to it, but they don't call me the meme-killer for nothing. Heh.
1. If you knew you would get away with it, what would you have done?
Easy. I would throw the entire Bush Administration in the slammer and throw away the key. Then, I would force feed them all b-complex vitamins and anything to give their brains a kickstart. Then I would leave them there with enough food to keep them going and fivebooks to read: Emerson's Essays, A Tale of Two Cities , Siddartha (Herman Hesse), Crime and Punishment and Kenneth Patchen: Selected Poems.
After a few years alone with these books, they might actually start to acquire a thought process bordering on rational. Then I'd toss in transcripts of every press conference they ever held and a rusty knife (kidding).
2. What makes you angry?
People not being respectful to one another makes me angry. Also, people who intentionally cause pain or death to animals makes me angry. Euthanasia and medical necessity are the only exceptions.
Slaughterhouses make me angry, and I think they should all have glass walls (Just as Paul McCartney said so many years ago) so everybody can see what terribly places they are.
Micromanagers make me angry. People who would rather lie than be wrong make me angry. People who think that everything is black and white make me angry. People in general make me angry, and that's something I'm really working on.
3. When are you at your happiest?
I'm happiest when I'm curling up for bedtime, or sitting in a cafe' far from home sipping on Earl Gray, watching total strangers carrying on their charming lives all around and enjoying a different scenery.
I'm happiest of all when I'm 'in the zone,' making music. Or freshly spent after ravenous, exciting lovemaking (with maybe some Art Blakey or early Weather Report running in the background).
4. Is there something you simply can't resist?
I can't resist chocolate. Or ice cream. Or a free ticket to the movies. Or indian food.
5. What is, in your opinion, the most important book anyone can read, and a book that has to be read for a person to be a complete human?
What a challenging question! Unfortunately, I can't really think of one all-encompassing work that is the guidebook for being a human. The Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes is a good starting point for any journey, however. And in my opinion one of the most thoughtful works of spiritual/philosophical insight of the 20th Century.

Hi, I don't know you. I came upon your blog by accident, but I really liked your answers to these questions (asked over a year ago).
Feel free to check out my blog (or not).
