FOTW- #6!

Here he is babies, Jason Blum, one of my favorite (still) people on planet Earth. He's a catch- handsome, clever, funny, and resposnible- and I love him dearly. Here's his answers:

Your life motto: Oh there are so many mottos and sayings I live by, but no overarching singular motto. I'm partial to "do unto others as you would have do unto you" but also love "no shirt, no shoes, no service" I used to lean heavily on "You can't polish a turd" until I heard Stanley Kubrick's response to that one: after hearing someone use it on him, he gave it some thought and replied "You can if you freeze it first." Perfect.

A monument you would like to have a view of from your bedroom: The Pyramids of Giza would be spiffy, or perhaps the Great Wall. Whatever it is, it better not block my view of downtown.

An artist you highly respect: Warhol. His self-marketing was unstoppable, and perhaps he's known for all that came with him besides the art itself, but the fact that the art itself is so intriguing, it makes the whole package that much more incredible.

Singer/Band you are currently listening to the most: Thelonious Monk. I go for the live stuff. It's edgier, especially the latter years when the mental illness was in full swing.

Celebrity you are crushin' on: Paula Abdul

If you could punch someone in the face: I'll say this: He's an annoying red-headed clown............(Ronald McDonald of course!)

If you could makeout with someone (in the face): Hmmm.... The Hobbitt.

If your house was burning and you could only rescue three things: Keetahn, my photos, and the painting with the pink flowers and the scary woman's head in the middle.

George Bush is a...: ...a patriotic, brave president- keeping the US safe from its enemies abroad and at home with the foundation of good Christian values.... IF YOU'VE HAD YOUR HEAD UP YOUR ASS FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS!

3 words how you think describe what other people think of you: Handsome, kind and funny. Oh... what they would say if I wasn't listening? Chatty, mischievious and compulsively flirty.

Describe your ideal funeral?: A traditional New Orleans funeral, then transport to Red Square for a Soviet State funeral, followed by being burned on a pyre floating down the Ganges. That about covers it.

How do you envision yourself at age 75?: Drunk, liver spotted and sitting alone at the end of the bar at Akbar trying to goose 22 years olds.

Biggest fear?: Failure. Always, failure. And going backwards in life... well, okay that's failure too.

Scientology is...An insidious cult invented as a money-making scheme by a third-rate sci-fi author that has since been deconstructed as regurgitated Freudian psychology wrapped in a cloak of bizarre alien mythology. The top leaders of the church were indicted for fraud at one point, and its founder L. Ron Hubbard spent the last years of his life on a boat, unable to dock anywhere in the world as he would have been arrested.

A moment you achieved absolute happiness: Knowing that at the same time I loved, I was loved in return.

Would you rather be horribly disfigured or horribly stupid? Horribly stupid, of course. How can you make a cute new hat work when you have the head of the Elephant Man?.

If you had to choose one person to be stranded on a desert island
with, who and why? Gilligan. Need I explain?

If you could solve one world problem, what would it be? How to get the job without experience, and how to get experience without getting the job.

Would you rather have a night of hot sex or a night of eating the
best foods in the world? I'm a semi-recovered anorexic, so to hell with food. Let's do it!

Heaven or hell? Both are conceptions of the frightened and weak. They don't exist, but as Milton said "The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven."
