1985 was a good year for movies, but I like to think in terms of my life, the best is yet to come. Here's hoping I haven't experienced my favorite year yet.

Cats or Dogs?
When married, I reluctantly became a dog person for the sake of my wife, but I currently do not own any pets nor do I wish to do so. I have allergies that pet dander sets off. If I must be one or the other, I dislike dogs less than I do cats, but that's a slim matter of degrees.
Do you believe in ghosts?
No, but that's a cheap answer. I no longer believe in anything. I have come to the conclusion based on experiential and anecdotal evidence that "belief" and "faith" are dangers of The Human Condition and am experimenting with a lifestyle that doesn't involve belief or faith. There's no proof to the concept of souls, or an afterlife, or anything supernatural or paranormal, which rules out ghosts as even remotely possible.
What music are you listening to today?
Listened @JedWhedon and @TSFMusic past couple weeks and am seriously considering buying their latest albums soon as I get some disposable income. Woke up this morn w/Men At Work in my head. Haven't listened to much music today. Was mostly watching tv shows on @Hulu. Come to think of it, I did karaoke to a couple Billy Joel songs in the privacy of my home (no audience) and watched a YouTube video of XTC's "Dear God" a few hours ago.
Whiskey with a beer chaser or straight up?
I'll just take the beer. Not a whiskey man. Prefer fruit vodka drinks if I'm going to do hard liquor, but I generally don't mix beer & spirits. If I start w/vodka I don't then chase it down w/beer. That'd just make me sick.
If you were a Star Trek [or Star Wars] character, which one would it be?
I would be a new character, loosely based on myself, in that particular universe. I couldn't play Jabba The Hut or Wil Riker, but I could imagine someone like me in those fantastical settings. Contemplations beyond that would lead to unpopular fanfic. Look up "Mary Sue" for more enlightenment on that idea.
what is the riskiest decision you ever made in your life?
Not committing suicide some twenty years ago. It's still far riskier to live than it would have been to give up so easily.
He dropped 3 stones on my stomach. One settled into the hollow of belly button. They were rubies, dark, uncut, valuable. "To help you along the way" he said. I've never sold them. What's the most precious thing given to you? By whom? Do you still have it?
The most precious thing I can recall as a gift was when my dad bought me my first computer. I no longer have it, but he did so at some cost back then, and the education I got from having it in my possession has since served me well.
Does your significant other wear a perfume/scent of some sort? What is it called, if you know? Do you like it? if not, what would you prefer?
I'm happily divorced, and don't have a significant other currently. I prefer a woman who smells like she has bathed recently. Aside from that, I'm not particular. I don't memorize scents. In fact I have allergies so some strong perfumes on a lady of interest might backfire if she used such things to attract me like I was a bee or something.
I saw a gorgeous engagement ring. It was 3 square cut diamonds, mounted in a platinum band. Truly expensive, but beautiful &I really wanted it. My girlfriend said I should buy it towear on my right hand.What do you think about me buying it? Would you?
IMNSHO any encouragement of the use of diamonds for sale or trade perpetuates the blood money practices that involve a lot of precious jewels. Perhaps one can single out a particular diamond and say that one has nothing to do w/such practices, but its the principle of the thing. People die senselessly over the greed & vanity of diamond currency. I do not recommend ever participating in the diamond trade, but to each his/her own.

If you were to run into a random person about whom you knew absolutely nothing and could only give them one piece of advice before you both went your separate ways and to live your separate lives, what would you say?
Same thing I say to any random person I just met & will probably never see again: "take care."

I liked it. Wish the sound quality was better. I think these guys should go on America's Got Talent next year.
Opps! Sorry about the double post before (I am permanently distracted). So I grant you the gift of immortality and the deep and mysterious power of the vampire to entrance, coerce, influence and control (no you don't need to suck blood) What do you do?
So I have immortality, mind control, but I don't need to suck blood. Do I twinkle in sunlight? I must not disintegrate by fire in sunlight because if I did then I'm not very immortal, am I? If I twinkle then I'm a Twilight TwinkPyre and will be chased around creation by crowds of willing teenage females which quite frankly is the last thing I want. That never goes well. I've seen reruns of The Monkees. Do I get to brood a lot? That looks like fun. Oh. What do I do? I would pull the mental whammy on Miracle Laurie until she is helplessly devoted to me, and then force her to teach me Hawaiian dance techniques.
There was a guy named Jimmy. He once cracked some corn and according to lore, no one cares. Why is there a song about it?
To be more specific, the individual who wrote the song did not care. However, he obviously felt that others would. Whether or not anyone actually did is lost in the obscurities of time, of which there are three.
"The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of all true art and science. "from @antallan. On days when you are 'present' do you experience this emotion?
Uh.. "the mysterious" is not an emotion. One cannot feel mysterious. One can arouse curiosity and wonder in others by being mysterious to them, but one does not then feel mysterious when doing so. So calling "the mysterious" a "fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of all true art and science" is a statement that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. We walk up to this alleged cradle and look around and we wouldn't find anything. So whether the mysterious is present or not, what you're experiencing is last night's dinner disagreeing with today's digestive constitution. There's more gravy than grave to this spirit. I hope that answers your question.
I was alone, in front of a store. waiting 4 friends . A woman drove by (40ish red hair)&screamed 'you fucking cunt whore' at me. I don't know why. It made me perplexed. If this happened 2 u & u saw the person again what would you do/say to them?
"...CALL ME!" or "..I LOVE YOU TOO!" or "..YOU HAVE ME CONFUSED WITH SOMEONE ELSE MADAM!" or "..WHAT'S THE AIR SPEED VELOCITY OF AN UNLADEN SPARROW!?"
I stand in the full length mirror, naked, undone. I examen everything w/ a critical eye. Suddenly, I can see it all so clearly: hair, eyes, skin, soul. It is beautiful. When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
What do I see? I see that if I jump up and down, parts of me wobble like jelly while other parts remain perfectly still, defying the laws of physics. It's fascinating. I could do that for hours.

If you were God, and yes I mean that literally (omniscient, all powerful, eternal and infallible)' what three things in humanity, creation (all things that exist) or time would you change? Why?
Hypothetically speaking of course, the first thing I'd do is write a much better book. It wouldn't be a sciency book per se but it would have a little science in it tho not so much as to scare off the dummies. It would encourage the little humans to seek knowledge and treat each other far nicer than they do now.
Secondly I'd turn off my omniscience, cuz I imagine that'd get really annoying fast. I'd keep the all powerful, eternal & infallible things tho cuz I bet they'd come in handy. Actually I'd like to use that omni thing now and then. I'd have like a light switch that follows me around & when I'm bored I'd turn that on. Probably mostly to watch porn.
That way, as god, I'd be fully within my rights to check in on Christina Hendricks as she's bathing, but I could only do it when I'm omniscient, so I'd probably be quickly distracted by stuff that threatened the universe again. I'd go fix that, then come back only to find Ms. Hendricks was now done bathing and wearing way too many clothes again. She should wear less clothes. I'd be tempted to appear before Christina Hendricks as she prayed and ask her to start a nudist colony to honor the One True Dude Who Made Her So Perfect and then maybe after that I'd have the nerves to ask her out on a date. I mean, I would be god after all. Can't gods get chicks whenever they want? Then again, maybe I should aim a little lower than Christina Hendricks.
The truth of the matter is, being god, and omniscient, I'd know that Christina Hendricks is secretly gay. And that I made her that way which makes her being gay totally okay cuz I'm god and I'm perfect and stuff.
Third, I'd wish for more wishes. That way I could continue being god as much as I wanted despite the fact it's a totally absurd concept. Maybe Janeane Garofalo would be impressed if I showed up while she was bathing and announced I was god... No, she'd probably reach for a can of mace and kick my ass. Maybe I should try lusting after women who couldn't kick my godlike ass.
