The IF Factor: Questions Answered #211-220

211. If you could be the master chef in any restaurant in the world, where would you choose to cook?

I would probably be the chef at the White House. I couldn't think of a more dignified position to be a chef  than to prepare meals for the President of the United States. 

212. If you could ensure that your child has one experience that you have had yourself, what would you want it to be?

It would be to grow up in a diverse, multi-cultural, and passionate atmosphere such as New York City. Being able to relate and understand other cultures and other people is something I would want my child to be able to do and experience at a young age.

213. If you could have a free telephone line to any one person in the world, who would it be?

I hate double-ing up on the answers to these questions, but having an open line to President Obama would be pretty nice. "Hey Prez, what are we looking to get done here? Give me the goods in a few words." 

214. If you were stranded on a desert island and could have only one piece of music to listen to, what would it be?

I would probably go with something similar to a jam band. Something like O.A.R. as mostly everything else either comes with moods or certain quirks (I find it tough to listen to rap at night. Weird, I know...). 

215. If you could be any sports figure now alive, who would you want to be?

LeBron James. After all, who wouldn't want to be him right about now? The guy is on top of the world and dominates his sport. I'd love to play basketball and experience how it feels to be that physically superior than anyone else on the court. 

216. If you were to give one person you know an award for something, who would it be, and for what?

I would give my wife the award of Coupon Queen for always managing to maximize a discount on a purchase. I don't think I've ever met someone - anyone - saves as much as she does. Glad shes on my team. 

217. If you could become rich doing one thing that you currently don't do, what would you want it to be?

After thinking for awhile, this is really a tough question. Something I DON'T already do...hmmmm,

How about becoming rich for playing golf? I've never played golf. I find it utterly boring on television, and is one of the very few sports I absolutely cannot get into. But it is a lucrative sport, and quite frankly, it's easier on the body that the others are. 

218. If you were a machine, what machine would you be?

I'd be a traffic light. Weird, I know. But I'd be in a position of leadership. I'll be respected, despite a few reckless drivers. And I'll be around for awhile as traffic lights don't get outdated by new technology. 

219. If you could erase any one murder from history, which would it be?

The assassination of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King (DP Page of Famer!). One could only wonder what else Dr. King would have had in mind. 

220. If you had to change citizenship, which country would you want to become a citizen of?

England, Canada, or Bermuda. Most likely, England.

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...

Trying to Stay Mellow on Melo and his "Brand"

(Courtesy: NYTimes/Richard Perry) Alright, fire up the rant machine after this one folks.  "What's understood doesn't need to be spoken upon" #DestiNY #TheFutureIsNow — Carmelo Anthony (@carmeloanthony) June 26, 2015 Carmelo Anthony really hasn't been winning any points with me lately. None. I've been indifferent on him even as the years have gone on and the Knicks fanbase continues to split on supporting him. Lately, I've been creeping over to the negative side. For me, a big deciding factor was when he decided to play in the Knicks game in London and in the meaningless All-Star Game to continue "building his brand", and thus delaying his needed knee surgery to the point of affecting his return for this upcoming 15-16 season.
