(Retro) The Game Of Life: A Really Good Survey - June 23, 2009

The Game Of Life (A Really Good Survey) - June 23, 2009

Would you ever turn in someone close to you if they committed a serious offense?

It would depend on what they allegedly did, who it is we're talking about and about a million other circumstances and thingys. I can't say yes or no - especially since I know first hand hand how corrupt and messed up our so-called "justice" system is. It's a myth and the innocent are left to rot and waste away while the guilty flourish and thrive - and all that matters is if you have connections or money. You know what - the more I think about it - I don't think it does matter - if it comes to dealing with the local law enforcement (who, at least among the higher levels are as corrupt as they come), I probably wouldn't turn anyone in. I have several friends who are police officers and I respect and trust them individually, but I have no faith at all in the so-called "system" - it's not justice and it's not honest and anyone that says it is - especially around here is a liar or extremely niave. I wouldn't hand my worst enemy over, much less someone close to me.

Would you ever make a porno if it set you up financially for life?

If I ever make a porno, I'd better be getting very well paid for it (or else just very bored. What? You've got a video camera? Come on over...lol). Yes - I most definitely would.

Would you ever eat spoiled food from the garbage if the only other option was starving to death?

If those are my only options, I would do what I have to do to survive, whatever it is. And let's be honest - I think we've all had worse things in our mouth at one time or another...

If you were stranded in the mountains and your only chance of survival was eating the body of another human (deceased of course), would you do it?

Read my previous answer - I would do what I have to do in order to survive. Just pass me some ketchup and fire up the grill..

If you ever found yourself homeless, do you think you could survive?

I'm somewhat smart, pretty resourceful and I've done it before (long story) - so it would definitely be yes.

If you were to find out before having sex with a partner that they have an STD, would you still have sex with them?

It would depend on just exactly what STD we're talking about. If it's HIV or Herpes, then the answer would be no - not a chance in hell. If it's one of the others, it would probably depend on the situation, the person, how drunk I am at the time and if we have protection - no glove / no love. It's strictly a "depends on the circumstances / person" type of thing.

If you were in a serious accident and your only chance of survival were to cut off a limb, could you do it?

Sure - I know several people who are missing limbs (an arm, a leg, some toes, etc) and they get by. We have solidiers coming home from Iraq & Afghanistain every day missing limbs and they adapt and go on with their lives. I'm certainly not in their league (the women and men of our Armed Forces), but still, could I do any less? I'd deal with it, adapt to it and move on with my life, as I should.

If you were faced with the choice of saving the life of a loved one, or thousands of strangers, which would you choose?

Hmmm! Depends on which loved one we're talking about. Strangers die every day and the world is over-populated as it is, so would we really be doing the strangers a favor by saving them? Maybe I'm a selfish bastard, but I value the few people I actually call "friends" very much - and if I have to choose between the few people I trust and love or a bunch of complete strangers, I think I would pick my loved one. I don't know for sure and I pray I'd never have to find out - but that's the way I'm leaning at the moment.

Could you tell a partner if they were really shitty in bed?

No - I'd never do that. I'd try to help them work on their bad habits and techniques and improve on them (lots of practice and subtle suggestions) and try to help them improve their skills. And I'd expect them to do the same for me - I know my flaws and the things I need to improve (I"m not a great "top"- and I know my strong points ( i can suck a watermelon through a drinking straw), but if you have the skills to help me improve my skills and technique - please do so and share and I'll do the same for you. And we'd get in lots of practice until we get it right. Even "shitty in bed" is still in bed and that's never really a bad thing.

If you arrived at the scene of an accident and discovered it was your worst enemy whose life was in jeopardy, would you stay and help, or walk away?

Stay and help - this one doesn't even require much thought - there is no person or persons I hate enough to want to see them dead.

What if they needed a blood transfusion and you were their only option. Would you do it?

Yeah - the same answer as above applies - there is no person or persons I dislike enough to want to see dead.

Do you think it is important to always tell the truth, or spare someone's feelings?

It's important to be honest, but there is no reason to always be an ass about it. Even the worst of tastes can be sweetened with a bit of honey added to the mix - be honest, but be fair and be nice.

What is the longest you have ever gone without cursing?

It's hard to me to go ten minutes without slipping out something, but I do tone it down and try to refrain when I'm around the kids or at the church doing my volunteer thing. I've gone literally days without cursing and I've had days where every other word was "f" this or something of that nature. It just depends on the way life is at any given moment and what words best fit my situation and mood.

When was the last time you saw your most recent ex?

Well, I was looking at his mugshot and DOC record last night. But the last time I saw him in person was June of last year - about a week after our last fight. He came by the house and tried to apologize and I sort of freaked and it wasn't a pretty sight. He was arrested the next day and has been in the custody of DOC ever since - and even though he's written to me, plus sent messages via others to contact him, I just haven't. He's dead to me. Which is really bad because the sex was really good. Just saying. I think about him sometimes and wish things had turned out different (maybe we'd have stayed friends) but what's done is done and I have more important things in my life these days.

What was the last funeral you attended?

The last funerals that I attended were my brother's, my dad's and my step-dad's. After the last one (My step-dad, Ray) I decided I don't do funerals. I will attend the sitting up if I need to and pay my respects to the family that way, but I'll wait until after the dust has settled from the funeral and make a trip to the cementary to "talk" to the person if they were someone I need to say good-bye to. That's more personal and real to me than standing among a bunch of people and watching a box let lowered into he ground.

Is there anyone you wish you could make love you?

I know a few I'd like to see have "compulsions to savage my body with crazy sex" - its the whole "lust thing" and my strong desire to get freaky with a shit-load of straight boys - but so far as "love" goes, if I have to "make them" love me, it's not real and not worth it. I've finally found someone who can accept me and love me for who I am and how I am - and I didn't have to "make him" do anything. I was just me - he was just him and it's all kind of coming together and is working out OK. It's harder and there are rough days and moments, but I didn't "make him" do anything - he does what he wants to do - and he never could "make me" do anything I didn't want to do either - it's real and that's what matters. If it was forced, it might go a lot smoother sometimes, but it wouldn't be the same or worth it overall.

Do cemeteries scare you?

Nope - I've always felt very comfortable and relaxed in the graveyards. The dead can't hurt you.

What is something you loved as a child that you still love now?

Wrestling - it was my obsession as a child and, lo and behold, it still is. Comics too.

Are you a packrat?

(Looking around) - Thousands of comics, hundreds of old wrestling mags, hundreds of books, boxes full of old clothes, toys from my childhood, letters, cards, newspapers, pictures, racks and shelves from old stores, action figures, etc. All of these fill up the spaces of my house. So am I packrat? You be the judge of that.

Do you think you're addicted to Myspace?

Hmmmmmm! Yes!

Do you miss being a kid?

At times, I miss the innocence and good stuff - no real responsibility - just having fun and living life - but I'm better for what life has given me - both good and bad - and I don't think I'd want to go back - it'd be nice to lose some of the baggage, but it couldn't be the same - you can't go home again and I can't be a kid again, so why even wonder about it. Rejoice in the good memories and move on.

What compelled you to create a Myspace page?

A comment by a friend at one of the Yahoo groups - a way to promote the columns I write and to promote the fantasy wrestling leagues I used to do - a way to meet more new people and reconnect with others from my past - so many reasons. I can't remember exactly what it was that first brought me to the MySpace - some of these things? All of these things? Who knows for sure? But I'm glad that whatever reason it was brought me here because it's been a ride and a half and it's only just begun. I wouldn't trade it for anything - and I'm planning to be here for a long time to come.
