I recently saw this survey on Myspace (If you want to visit me, just go to this link right here... this one... the one that is all underliney and clickable) and I thought it'd make for a good entry. Some pretty deep questions asked here, so prepare yourself.

1. In your view, how was the universe created/started?
--Well... as an agnostic I can't say that I know anything for certain, but I always liked Douglas Adams' notion that the universe was created when a giant alien sneezed. The thought of being part of a huge gob of alien snot makes me feel... normal in the scheme of things. Of course, then you start asking "Where the did the alien come from?" or "How do you know it was a sneeze? Maybe it was a phlegm-y cought?" and it all starts to fall apart. But not like the whole "Jesus and God and the Bible" stuff. That could hold up in fucking court. I am being sarcastic right now. Can you tell?

2. Have you ever been involved in or wanted to be involved in organised crime?
--The honest truth is I used to live with a guy named Anthony Gambino and his Uncle Pete Gambino. And yes, I do mean that Gambino family. They weren't involved with the mafia at the time, but Pete used to be known as "The Butcher" and I don't think it had anything to do with how he handled his meat.

3. In the words of Freidrich Neitzche "There is no truth", how does this statement make you feel?
--I think he might be lying.

4. Keeping in mind the statement in question 3, what do you think about world history and it's affects on modern life?
--The problem with world history is this: We never get to know things the way they happened unless we witnessed them ourselves. Otherwise, we're just hearing somebody's version of history. Kind of lame, eh?

5. If you could change the world, how would you do it?
--I'd get rid of money, government, and religion. That way we have fewer ways to segregate ourselves from each other. Then we can work on the racism and sexism issues. And reality television. The first thing I think I'd do is demand the head of Mark Burnett on a platter.

6. Have you ever been involved in or thought of a plot to bring down the current system of government? If so, how would you do it?
--I always figured our government would eventually self-destruct. But allow me to quote Thomas Jefferson: "God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

Then again... Jefferson was also a slave-owner. So... *shrugs*

9. Do you ever get in your car and just drive, with no particular destination in mind?
--I used to. When I moved out to California I had to stop for two reasons:

1.) Gas is so friggin' expensive.

2.) The other drivers in Los Angeles are out of their ever-loving minds.

But I used to drive from Indiana to Ohio and then back for no reason other than just to be alone and think. I kinda miss that, actually.

10. As a child what was the one thing you REALLY wanted to be when you grew up?
--Taller. Fuck being short.

And when I was 8, I wanted to be a Ghostbuster. Now I'd just settle for writing Ghostbusters 3.
