The IF Factor: Questions Answered #151-160

151. If you could choose any three songs to compile on a disc to wake up (slowly) to every morning, what would they be, and in what order? 

Since I'm a terrible morning person, I'd go with:

1. "Break Stuff" by Limp Bizkit

2. "The Hey Song Part 2 (Instrumental)" - Gary Glitter

3. "I Get the Job Done" by Big Daddy Kane

152. If you could have witnessed the childhood of someone famous, whose would it be?

I would probably choose Simon Cowell. I can just imagine how much of a jerk he was to little kids as he insulted them with that snarky British accent of his. Would make for some entertaining times.

153. If you could keep only keep one book you currently own, which would you choose?

The Bible.

154. If you could have known someone as a child that you now know, who would it be?

There are a couple of friends and former co-workers who would be interesting to know, but I'd have to go with my wife. 

155. If one aspect of your life functioned perfectly forevermore, what would you pick?

My dedication and/or obedience to my faith. If that was perfect, wouldn't everything else in my life simply fall in line? 

156. If you could eliminate one thing other people’s children do, what would it be?

Public display of rudeness, showing no manners, or complete lack of respect for others. We've all dealt with it, nothing worse than a child who is not disciplined at home, who takes his/her antics on the road as well. 

157. If you could give hair back to any balding person you know, who would you pick?

Ha! Myself! 

158. If you had to name the one thing that really makes your day, what would it be? 

My wife's smile, if I'm lucky, her laugh. 

159. If you could change one thing about your country’s history, what would you alter?

Slavery/Racism. Imagine if that never happened, how different things would be in this nation. We've spent the last 100 years trying to mend fences, and there is still plenty of work to be done. 

160. If you had to eliminate one emotion from your life, which would it be?

Frustration. What's that phrase? Keep calm, and carry on. I like that a lot.

Dome Pondering Move Review: Say You Will (2017)

What is it about? A recent high school graduate cares for his mother while attempting to navigate his first relationship following his father's suicide.  Who is in it? Travis Tope - Sam Nimitz Katherine Hughes - Ellie Vaughn Favorite Scene: [spoiler alert] Sam plays his song for his mom. Favorite Quote: Ellie: "I wish we could have met down the road, maybe when we were like 27." Sam: "I think we needed each other now." Review:  Say You Will was an absolutely pleasant surprise of a watch from the Amazon Prime offerings.  I wasn't exactly sure what to expect with this one, but after the credits rolled, it was a movie that provided authentic characters and a great lesson on life. We don't always have to have everything figured out, and it's okay if you don't.  What makes Say You Will so beautiful is that all of the characters are carrying some inner struggle that connects them in the moment and time that helps them through whatever it is. The unlike...

TNA Slammiversary 2026: "A great show that felt like it could have been epic with the proper buildup."

TNA certainly came into Slammiversary 2026 carrying some public relations (or perception?) baggage which affected the excitement for this event. For me, Slammiversary has become one of those wrestling events on the calendar that moves the needle for me. This is especially the case after attending last year's historic event.   This year, the hype was not there. And ultimately, the overall creative process for the product for most of 2026 was well...plain. It wasn't terrible. But yeeaaaaaahhhhhhh, nothing felt overly exciting. The company had no major storyline driver. And thus, we saw the removal of Tommy Dreamer as head of creative at TNA after being with the company for almost ten years. Much of Slammiversary 2026 felt like it was pulled together two weeks out. And even heading into the show, with the added drama of Dreamer's release, TNA once again felt unstable.  Fortunately, what we got was a great show that feels like - again, there is that perception thing! - TNA is ...
