This is week thirty-five 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 were to be the personal valet of any one man or woman from history, who would you want to work for?

I’d want to work for Samantha Brown. Not only do I love her to the point of mild obsession, but working for her would allow me to travel with her at all times. And I don’t know anyone else who’s traveled to as many places or as often as she, so she’s my pick.

If you could hire any architect alive or from history to design your dream house, who would you pick, and where would you build it?

I don’t know a thing about architects. The only one I can think of at this moment is Frank Lloyd Wright (how cliche), so I guess I have to pick him. But after doing a quick google search of some the houses he’s designed, I’m pretty happy with that choice. I would just demand there was a secret passage or two in the house. Perhaps one behind a grandfather clock like in Webster.

If you could have invented anything from history, what would you pick?

Post-Its.

If you could invent something that currently does not exist, what would it be?

I would definitely invent a teleportation device. The ability to instantly be anywhere on the planet would be a dream come true. I would be able to visit my family or travel to vacation destinations in an instant. I could wake up, teleport to Iowa for breakfast with my family. Then visit the Great Wall of China before hitting up a bistro in Paris for lunch. After that I could go snorkeling along the Great Barrier Reef. Take a quick nap in my own bed in NYC. Then have dinner in Brazil before hitting a nightclub in London. Then back home for bed.

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

This is week thirty-four 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 have a secret camera in any one room in the world, what room would you put it in?

I’m a little ashamed to admit it, but the first thought that came to mind was to put the hidden camera in a locker room somewhere.

If you had to lose one of your limbs, which one would you sacrifice?

Holy crap, what a horrible question. Can I take the loophole and pick one of the limbs on the tree outside my house? No? Crap.

I guess if I had to pick a limb to get rid of, it would be my left leg. No real reason; just because.

If you could only keep one of your limbs, which would you choose to keep?

You just had to go and trump your last question with a worse one, didn’t you.

If I had to keep only one limb, I guess it would have to be my right arm. I can use a motorized wheelchair to get around and replace my legs, and I would keep my right arm over my left since that is my dominant arm.

If you were to have sex with two people simultaneously that you have known from your own past, who would you pick?

Well, ooh la la.

I’m going to impose an additional clause in this one just to help myself narrow it down, because otherwise it would be a list of two hundred and not just two. I’m only going to choose from people that I’m no longer currently in semi-occasional contact with.

First person would be the man I was once friends with who happens to also be a very well known adult film star. (Note to self: get back into regular contact with him)

Second person would be the dancer who was in one of the shows at which I used to work years ago.

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

This is week thirty-three 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.

This week’s questions:

If you were going to initiate a new charity, what would be its mission and who would benefit?

I feel like every possible charity known to mankind already exists.

If you could have been vice-president to any American president, which president would you choose?

Clinton. He was awesome.

If you could “unknow” one thing you know, what would it be?

I would LOVE to unknow what a vagina looks like.

If you could have one entire country “depopulated” as your private property, which country would you take as your own?

A European one, definitely. The country is just so picturesque over there, and I’d be a short day trip or weekend trip away from so many remarkable destinations. Now, I wouldn’t need a TON of land for my very own, so I would choose Liechtenstein. A teensy weensy country bordered by Switzerland and Austria. It’s so small, in fact, that it’s just under 62 square miles total. That’s plenty enough for my own private property without being ostentatious. And it also has the distinction of being one of only two doubly landlocked countries in the world. The lack of beachfront property wouldn’t be ideal, but I don’t go to the beach much as is, so I’d survive. So, Liechtenstein it is… but I would rename it Nicktenstein.

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

The other day I was looking out my living room window, and I discovered something that I had never noticed before. Almost two and a half years of living in this apartment and I’d never noticed it. I’m obviously an observant person.

If you press your face against the glass and look in a south-south-westerly direction, and if it’s autumn or winter and there are no leaves on the tree outside, then you can see some of the Manhattan skyline… including the Empire State Building!

I took a picture of it!

The brightly lit building about a third from the left is the Empire State Building. Just to the right of that is the MetLife Building. I think the building at the right edge of the picture is the GE Building. I recognize a few of the others, but am not sure what they are off the top of my head.

I’m gonna have to look into that so when people come over I can impress them with my view. But first I need to find a way to get rid of that elevated train track. Damn you, Amtrak!

I’m just hoping my landlord doesn’t know about this, because if he did, I’m sure he’d realize the property value of this place just skyrocketed and my rent would be raised, because who wouldn’t want an obstructed view like that?

I mean, for reals.

This is week thirty-two 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.

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 the parent of one famous person, who would you want it to be?

I would definitely pick either a rapper or a professional athlete for the mere reason that they seem to be the ones who spend the most money on lavish gifts for their parents. I want the houses and cars.

If you could ensure that your children never have one experience that you have had, what would it be?

Oh goodness, there are too many from which to choose. I can think of a handful right off the top of my head. But I guess the one that I would pick for my children to never have to experience would be the one where I gave up without trying. Living a life of “what if” isn’t any way to live a life.

If you could eat one food in any quantity for the rest of your life with no ill effects whatsoever, what food would you choose?

Purely Decadent Non-Dairy Ice Cream

If you had to eliminate one season permanently (spring, summer, autumn, or winter), which one would go?

Even though it’s the season during which I celebrate my birthday, I would nix summer. I don’t do well in extreme heat, so that one would be the first to go.

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

This is week thirty-one 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 have avoided living one year from your past, which year would you like to have eliminated?

There haven’t been any full years from my life that I’ve not enjoyed to the point where I would completely eliminate them, so I guess I’d just go ahead and eliminate the very first year. I have no memories from that age anyway, so it wouldn’t be as if I was wiping any of my memories out of existence. It seems like the most logical answer to the question as well.

If you could have the home phone number of anyone in the world, whose would it be, and what would you say to them?

Does anyone even have a home phone anymore? Everyone I know only uses their cell phone. But regardless, I think it would be a treat to have Ellen DeGeneres’ phone number. She’d be a hoot and a holler (that’s the Iowan in me coming out) to talk to.

If you could commit one crime without being caught, what crime would you commit?

I’d steal something. Something expensive. Something I’d never be able to afford on my own. A car maybe. Or a dream house. But how exactly would one go about stealing a house? Maybe I’d just have to doctor the deeds and the paperwork. That’s illegal, right?

If you were kidnapped and could bring only one personal possession, what would you take?

Well, I assume a phone would be the smartest thing, as I would be able to call for help. But something tells me the kidnappers would be a little smarter than to allow me to bring my phone with me. But since that wasn’t eliminated as an option in the question, I’m picking it. What stupid kidnappers I have.

Those are my answer’s to this week’s questions. What are yours?
