If… (Week 7)

This is week seven in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”

There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able. In addition, I invite you to answer the questions along with me, whether it be in the comments section, your own personal blog, or just within your own thoughts.

Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.

This week’s questions:

If you could be sculpted by any artist in history, who would you choose?

At the risk of admitting my ignorance for this medium of art, I have to confess that I don’t really know much about sculpture or any sculptors from history. Of course there is Michelangelo who made the masterpiece of David. And Rodin who created The Thinker. There’s also the Venus de Milo, which I’ve had the pleasure of seeing in person while in Paris about ten years ago, but I have no clue who the creator of that piece was. And that is pretty much the extent of my knowledge on the subject. So I guess I’d have to pick between them. So, at the risk of being Cliche McBoring, I’ll pick Michelangelo.

If you were to have your entire wardrobe designed for you by a single clothing designer for the rest of your life, who would you select?

Oh geez. Another topic about which I know nothing. When it comes to fashion the extent of my knowledge remains in the H&M and American Eagle vein. I don’t really follow fashion or fashion designers and the only piece of clothing that I own that I think is from a particular designer is a Michael Kors argyle sweater. I do love that sweater, so I guess by default, he wins my vote.

If you were to be stranded forever on a desert island and could have only one book to read, which would you want?

There it is! I was wondering how long it would be before we got to the desert island questions. Let it be known that on week seven, we finally got stranded! I think Conversations With God is a book that would keep me from going insane. Would also enjoy having The Chronicles of Narnia on hand, because it would be good to have a fantasy book to use as a means of escape from the current situation. With that argument Harry Potter and The Neverending Story would also be good choices. Maybe even Peter Pan. Did I just break the rules and pick more than one book? In that case, one book that included all of those. Take that, suckers!

If you could say one sentence to the current pope, what would it be?

“You gotta do something about that hat, dude.”

Those are my answers for this week’s questions. What are yours?
