The IF Factor: Questions Answered #471-480

471. If you could visit only one more place in the world that you have never been, where would you go for this final voyage?

Australia. 

472. If you had to pick the most difficult question you could be asked, what would it be?

Well, it's one that has crossed my mind before - do I sell my parents house or keep it for myself when, you know...

473. If you could rid the earth of one thing, what would it be?

Ignorance.


474. If you had to choose the one thing that gives you the most comfort, what would you say?

Jesus. Nothing gives me more security than my faith. Not money. Not security. Not health. Just my faith. 

475. If you had to name the one thing that most frightens you about growing old, what would it be?

As I get older, I'm truly starting to appreciate the concept of not just living life to the fullest, but living life with effectiveness.

476. If you could be more ambitious in only one aspect of your life, what would it be?

Morning routine. I'm still a struggling morning person. Partly because my work schedule is all over the place. I would like to become more ambitious in rising early...and I guess going with that, going to bed early. Easier said than done. 

477. If you were to spend the rest of your life in the company of a single type of animal, which would you choose?

Well this is a rough question. I guess I'll go with a dog. They seem domestic enough to live with for the rest of my life. 

478. If you had to constantly carry a weapon of some kind, what would it be?

Am I in danger? Do I live in a dangerous neighborhood? I will select a knife. A gun seems rather dangerous, and things like rocket launchers and grenades aren't convenient enough. 

479. If you had to name the one most important ingredient of human beauty, what would you say it is?

It sounds cheesy and somewhat naive, but a will and need to serve others would be it. Those with a will and characteristic to serve and appreciate others are my favorite people. I typicaly can't stand self-aggrandizing selfish people. 

480. If you were to add a thirteenth month to the year, where would you insert it?

Easily between July and August. I'm all about summer, and anyway to expand it would be terrific.

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...

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...

Quick Ponder: No Matter What

"You can give  everything to something, and no matter what, it is always gonna do what it's gonna do." I feel that these days. I get it.
