Go ask the lizard-guy something....

[Sstavix]

I was expecting something different...



But very well.

That's me. Either I completely miss the intent and go off in a completely random direction... or I decide I don't want to go that direction and go off in a completely random direction. Trust me - it's usually more the former than the latter.

Most interesting YouTuber?

Unfortunately, I have little to contribute to this subject. I generally just watch YouTube for music videos, or to watch song lyrics to music. Outside of that I have very little experience with the YouTube community.

Be that as it may, this one probably wins....



Or maybe the guy in Germany who creates all sorts of new slingshots in order to fight a possible zombie outbreak.

Best summer job?

It's been so long since I've had a summer job that differed from my regular job... I would have to say lifeguard. Not from personal experience - I've never been a lifeguard. But it must be fun to watch people all day, occasionally be a hero, and still get paid for it.

Worst movie you can think of?

Worst movie you can think of?

Hands down, "Hulk." They took one of the most interesting Marvel heroes (essentially a comic adaptation of the idea behind "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde") and completely mutilated it with a nonsensical plot, idiotic fight scenes (mutant dogs and a moronic CGI final battle), bizarre takes on what's already incredulous comic-book physics (apparently the Hulk gets big because of ... water retension?), and those are just the few problems with the film that come to mind while typing this. And no, I have absolutely no interest in watching that movie again so I can pick it apart more.

I've seen other stinkers that I've been greatly disappointed in - such as "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" and the first "Star Wars" prequel, but so far, nothing has matched the stinkitude of "Hulk."

Worst video game you've ever played?

Worst video game you've ever played?

I'd have to think real hard to come up with a PC game, but the first bad game to come to mind is "Myth Makers: Orbs of Doom" for the Nintendo Wii. An obvious attempt to play off the popular "Super Monkey Ball" franchise, Orbs of Doom is so badly made that it epitomizes the "shovelware" that has caused so much hatedom for the Wii. The controls are so bad I couldn't even get through the tutorial. It's was an impulse purchase from my wife, and it didn't stay in the house long. I actually feel sorry for anyone who might have picked it up from the used game store... in a way, I hope that the store owners just threw it away. No one needs to suffer through that.

Favorite song?

[Sstavix]

Favorite song?

That's a tough one. Thinking about songs on my iPod, there are a few that I never skip through while looking for something else (I almost always leave it on shuffle). These include Red's "Breathe Into Me," Skillet's "Monster," Thousand Foot Krutch's "Fire It Up"... and The Thompson Twin's "Hold Me Now."

Yes, I have very eclectic musical tastes.

Incidentally, looking at my iTunes list, the song I've played the most is "Smile Like You Mean It" by the Killers. The video can be found here, if you'd like to see it.

The Killers? One of my friends gabs CONSTANTLY about them! He's actually going to see them in concert soon. Them tickets were cheap...

I myself have never been to a concert, but I was tempted to go to a Clutch concert back in May 2012 (my friend bought me L4D2, I discovered Electric Worry, and now I'm a Clutch fan).

What would be your ideal job? And if you're already living the dream, what's your least ideal (practical, no worst-case-scenario extremes) job choice?

Crusty feet?

Callouses are nature's body armor.

The Killers? One of my friends gabs CONSTANTLY about them! He's actually going to see them in concert soon. Them tickets were cheap...

The Killers used to be my favorite group. After my previous favorites (Midnight Oil and No Doubt) broke up, I looked around for another group that I enjoyed, and the Killers filled that niche for a while. And that was before I found out the lead singer, Brandon Flowers, is LDS. But the Killers' latest music... meh. Their first three albums - especially Sam's Town - were fantastic. Their latest stuff is mediocre and easily forgettable. It wasn't long after that when a friend introduced me to my current favorite group, Thousand Foot Krutch.

I myself have never been to a concert, but I was tempted to go to a Clutch concert back in May 2012 (my friend bought me L4D2, I discovered Electric Worry, and now I'm a Clutch fan).

I've been to a few concerts. One of my former girlfriends took me to a Firehouse / Tesla concert. A few years back, my wife and I went to a Weird Al concert (my sister bought us the tickets - now that was a fun one!) I've also seen the Newsboys in concert, and have seen Susan Ashton twice.

If I ever have the opportunity, I would still like to see Midnight Oil perform....

What would be your ideal job? And if you're already living the dream, what's your least ideal (practical, no worst-case-scenario extremes) job choice?

My ideal dream job would be a best-selling author... and it's a job I hope to attain someday. I actually do have a novel submitted to a publisher and am waiting to hear back (and if they reject it, I've got another publisher or two in mind to send my manuscript to). If I do get published, I'll let people here know... and if we ever should meet in person, I'd love to autograph my book(s) for you!

Addition: Thanks for linking that Clutch video! I'd never heard of them before. They have kind of a blues-y feel for them, and I like the lead singer's voice (at least that song). I'll have to check out some of their other stuff now.

Best food on God's green earth?

Best food on God's green earth?

I would say spaghetti and meatballs... but seeing a pile of spaghetti and meatballs lying on the earth like that would just make me cry.

So I'll say cookies. If they weren't muddy.

Do you enjoy satire?

Do you enjoy satire?

Not only do I enjoy it, I've written it. I've even won third place in a small short story contest not too long ago. Maybe I'll post that story here....
