I was asked by the wonderful Sam..

1) If you could change one event in history, not taking into account the consequences, what would you change? And now, taking into account the consequences, would you change it?

I’d be sorely tempted to change things like the events of September 11th, 2001.

Honestly though, I wouldn’t change any of it regardless, as I strongly believe everything happens the way it does for a good reason, even when we can’t see it from where we’re standing.

2) Which book, film, and song describes you or your personality? You must pick one of each and describe how it relates to you.

Wow, this is huge. I don’t know if I can really wrap my ego around it properly and my answers would probably be totally different every time you ask me, but off the top of my head just now:

Book: “The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” There are times when I feel like Arthur, the only normal person in an increasingly insane Universe, and there are times when I feel like Ford, the only interesting person in an increasingly mundane Universe.

Film: “The Big Lebowski.” Story of a guy who is just trying to do his own thing while his world becomes increasingly batshit insane.

Song: “What Is Love” as covered by The MDP. It just sounds a lot like the inside of my head does lately.

3) What musical artist(s) or band(s) would you have killed to see live but never will, due to deaths, breakups, etc.?

Queen, Falco, and Celia Cruz to name a few.

4) Which episode/serial of Doctor Who would you show to a person who knows nothing about the show to try and get them hooked?

I used to always use “City of Death” before the new series came along. Now I’d also show them “Rose” and “Smith and Jones.”

5) What has been the scariest moment of your entire life?

Sorry, but I’d rather not answer this one on the Web.
