The IF Factor: Questions Answered #221-230

221. If you could be buried anywhere, where would it be?

A really, really creepy question. Most don't even think as far ahead as death, and now I'm supposed to look past death? I guess I'll go with somewhere around the tri-state area, close enough where friends and family could visit if needed. 

222. If you could ensure one single personality trait in your children, what would you want it to be?

Easily, the ability to accept people in a diverse way. It's a hard truth to swallow, but whether because of belief, the way they were raised, or just blind ignorance, there are a lot of people who are not open to others who are unlike them. Fortunately, growing up in NYC, I was forced to realize what my mother told me since I was a child - people are people. I hope that trait of acceptance and understanding is passed on to my child.
 

223. If you could run any single company, institution, or organization in the world, which would you choose?

At this point in my career,I'd be honest and say that I am not prepared to run any single company, institution, or organization. At least I don't feel like I am. Either way, for the sake of answering the question, I will go with the NYC Parks and Recreation Department. Boy would I love to overhaul that mess.

224. If you had to select any single man-made object that best represents your personality, what would it be?

I'm not sure if man-made includes electronics or just handcrafted items. But I guess I'll go with a simple (and sort of boring answer) in saying a chair. It's reliable, loyal, supportive, rarely changes, carries a load when required, is decorative, comfortable, and is a flexible item that can be used for multiple tasks. 

225. If you could gain total memory of one year of your life so far, which year would you pick?

Senior year of college. Only because I would love to have blogged more about the various experiences, life lessons, and overall thoughts that I had. Would have been nice as well to look back on those words from that time. 

226. If you could overthrow any government in the world, which one would you replace?

Easily, North Korea. What believer in freedom, democracy, and the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness wouldn't? 

227. If you could choose any historic figure to read your eulogy, who would you want to do it?

 I guess for DP devotees, you know my first answer would obviously be the DP Page of Famer, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. However, I'll be a little unpredictable and fun, and go with "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Not exactly overly historical in the original comprehension, but historical nonetheless. I'm sure I'd be smiling and laughing hysterically from heaven as he hits a "Ooooooh yeah! Dig it!" at the end of everymajor point in the eulogy.

228. If you could put any person in prison, who would you lock up?

I guess I'll stay with the North Korea theme - can I say Kim Jong-Un? I guess I just did.

229. If you had to name your single worst fear, what would it be?

Easily, failure. I hate to admit it, but I'm so afraid of failing, some times I take the easiest road in life and limit my risks. I know, I know...I'm working on it. 

230. If you had to describe the single worst thing a friend could do to you, what would it be?

Friends fight. Friends have disagreements. Friends have their moments of doing the other wrong. But a friend that uses you for their gain is no friend.

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 - 2/11/19

3 Up 1. Eva Ramon Gallegos Cure HPV - Could Cervical Cancer be a thing of the past? It very much looks like it as after twenty years of work, Gallegos has found a cure that completely eliminates the cancer. This is remarkable work, and it's pretty awesome to see the Mexican Medical community come together proudly in this achievement. 2. "This is America" Grammy - Finally!! Childish Gambino got some national love for the work he did on this great song, and even more so, on the overall art/video that was "This is America". Of course, he wasn't there to pick it up as the Grammys and their long standing issue with the hip-hop community continues... 3. Women at SOTU - Women continue to be bad ass in the current age. Their solidarity within the Capitol for the President's SOTU was a great sight to see. 3 Down 1. Venezuela Crisis - The country of Venezuela is in absolute shambles right now as they tussle over leadership, and really, a move toward d...

Dome Pondering Movie Review: In a Relationship (2018)

What is it about?  Following the progression of two couples over the course of a summer.  Who is in it? Emma Roberts - Hallie Michael Ambrano - Owen Dree Hemingway - Willa Patrick Gibson - Matt Favorite Scene:  [Spoiler Alert] Matt and Villa sit on the stairs, and he admits to not wanting to introduce Willa to his parents.  Favorite Quote:  I don't... I don't think you ever find someone... you don't resent. And that's part of it. It's just... find the person you *want* to resent, you know. Review:  This was a weird film. The opener had much promise, but as the film continued, it felt like it was just getting longer.  My biggest gripe with the film is that I liked each of the characters less as I got to know them. I understand that the film attempted to highlight the modern relationship for a specific generation, and in certain ways, it succeeded in doing so. However, the characters never grew or became better people from their relationships...they just...
