The IF Factor: Questions Answered #261-270

261. If you could serve in one capacity in the military (in which you haven't already served), what would you want to do?

Well, obviously, I've never served in the military. However, I would want to do something close to my career now, and that is work in logistics. Whether it is scheduling, planning, or project management, I'd love to serve my country by using my experience and attributes towards those aspects. 

262. If you could eliminate forevermore one cause of death on earth, what would it be?

Hunger. That's such a brutal way to die. Especially, when the resources are there throughout the world unlike other terrible diseases or ailments.
 
 263. If you have had to choose the best book in history, which book would get the prize?

For me, easily, The Bible.

264. If you could cure any disease, which would it be?

Cancer. For the sole reason that it just happens. There is no rhyme or reason for why it occurs in certain people, no matter how many studies we do.
 
265. If you could be the owner of any current team in professional sports, which one would you want?

I want to say the New York Yankees, because they are my favorite sports team, and well, they are worth quite a bit. However, I'll go with my second fave, the New York Knicks. Knicks management has been brutal, and I'd love to own them and hopefully fix the notorious image their front office has.

266. If you could eliminate one odor from the earth, which one would you get rid of?

Bad body odor. Nothing like the being next to someone on the subway who hasn't showered in days.

267. If you were to select a food that best describes your character, what food would it be?

Hamburger. Simple to make, is adaptable with tons of variations and specifics, and is rarely ever a bad idea for a meal.
268. If you could arrange a jam session with any three musicians in history, who would you include? 

 This is a good one. I'll go with this grouping:

1. Jimmy Cliff
2. O.A.R.
3. Jimmy Hendrix

269. If you could invent one new home appliance, what would it do?

A tea maker. There is a coffee make for folks who drink coffee. They can just pour, and boom, they have a drink in hand. Would be nice to have a machine that makes tea for you.

270. If you were to be someone's personal computer, whose would you like to be?

I'd love to be the personal computer of someone creative. Probably, an author, or columnist of some sort. I'll go with Mike Lupica because I enjoy his work.

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

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...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 2/15/26

Sunday Sundown Rundown returns! Going forward, I'll be sharing thoughts and ponderings in a format of three simple thoughts, opposed to the former "3 Up, 3 Down" of the past.   Mother of Savannah Guthrie I haven't been closely following the developments. I've checked in here and there, mostly hoping that this horrific story comes to an end. I simply continue to sympathize with concern, as not only are the emotions of having one's mother kidnapped for ransom more than enough to bear, but to have it played out publicly, before the nation, helplessly, is an unfathomable reality to understand. And of course, as all things in this culture, the story has been manipulated, pulled apart, and coerced into political representations that are not true, or at the very worst, worthy of discussion considering that someone's life - a person's mother - is at stake.  Winter Olympics It's not my favorite. Summer Olympics are my jam. Nonetheless, this Winter Olympics...
