This is week twenty-nine 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 destroy a single tape or CD that your mate plays, what would it be?
He doesn’t really play anything that I can’t stand. And when he does, it’s normally not out loud, just headphones. So, for those reasons, I actually don’t have an answer to this question. If fact, I’ve discovered some of the music I ended up really liking by snooping through his music library.
If you could read the private diary of someone you know personally, whose diary would you read?
I think I would like to read Garrett’s if I had to choose someone. It would be fascinating to get a glimpse into how he sees and interprets life as a deaf man. And how we might have completely different views on the same thing because of that one thing. And he has a knack for vocabulary and words, so I also think it would be beautifully written.
If you could read the diary of one person you don’t know personally, whose would it be?
Paris Hilton. I think there are some feelings and insights in there that we might not be expecting. I think somewhere deep inside her are some profound feelings that may never make themselves public beyond that diary. And even if not, it’d be an entertaining read.
If you were on trial and someone you know (who is not a lawyer) had to act as your legal representative, who would you want to defend you?
I would have to pick my mother. She’s very clear headed, logical and has the ability to make people see things clearly. I think she’d have a pretty good shot of making a judge or jury focus on the facts and use their logic to realize that I was not guilty. Because I wouldn’t be guilty. I’m a good boy.
Those are my answers to this week’s questions. What are yours?
