The IF Factor: Questions Answered 281-290

280. If you could have been the producer of any single television show or series, which one would you pick?

I would say The Cosby Show as it is my favorite television show of all-time. However, I'll select my second favorite television show (not counting Monday Night Raw), in Friday Night Lights. I would have loved to work on that project. 

281. If you could own any single newspaper in the world, which one would you pick?

Not The New York Post, that's for sure. Although, does anyone buy newspapers anymore? It is a dying business. I'm going to go with a blog, and I'll go with the Huffington Post. 

282. If you could choose any six people to be the pallbearers at your funeral, who would you choose?

Same six guys who were groomsmen at my wedding, plus another friend who was unable to participate that day. He'd direct the six others. 

283. If you had to repeat your exact life over again exactly as it was, from any age, what age would you go back to?

Knowing exactly what I know now, I'll go with college. Interesting time for sure. 

284. If you could find one thing, besides money, in your family attic, what would you want to discover?

Nothing. My parents home doesn't have an attic. But that's semantics. I would love to find my old Nintendo 64 and the games I had for them. 

285. If you had to name the single most important quality of a good mate, what would it be?

Selflessness. 

286. If you had been the original designer of one existing corporate logo, which one would you select?

The Yankees' interlocking "NY". Classy, well recognized, and would bank me tons of royalties. 

287. If you could only wear one color, white or black, for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

Easily, black. One of my favorite colors. 

288. If you had to eat in only one restaurant for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?

Tops Diner in New Jersey. I'd be able to get any type of meal - breakfast, lunch, or dinner - from there, and it would be pretty good. 

289. If you had to be represented by an object in your home, what would you choose?

My laptop. All of my work, thoughts, blogging pieces, and interests are on there. 

290. If you had been the reporter to have broken one news event during your lifetime, what would you like it to have been?

It's hard to select "breaking" news that is positive, as most are usually negative in nature. However, I will go with being the first to have the news that President Obama had been elected as the 44th President of the United States. Pretty big news to be tied to.

Dome Pondering Movie Review: The After (2023)

What is it about? In a short film, a grieving man confronts his past when he comes face-to-face with a passenger.  Who is in it? David Oyelowo - Dayo Jessica Plummer - Amanda Amelie Dokubo - Laura  Favorite Scene: It's an extremely short film, so...the final few moments.  Favorite Quote:  None. (not much dialogue) Review: This eighteen-minute masterpiece is amazing. You're absolutely taken on this ride of emotions that ultimately leaves you with a great realization of questioning what we value in life.  The lead character, in eighteen minutes, is powerful. His grief is carried through the film, exploding at the end. It very much leaves the viewer with so many questions - what was his life before the tragedy? What was his life after that moment? Did he ever reconnect with that family? Did he rediscover happiness?  Again, a very, VERY, powerful eighteen minutes that will jolt the heart, mind, and soul about life, what is important, and what we overvalue in its place.  Grade: 4/5

2024 NBA All-Star Weekend Thoughts

There's something wrong with the All-Star Game.  Yeah, we've definitely had this conversation before. Expect to pick up this very discussion (again) in July when Major League Baseball has their version in the "Mid-Summer Classic" when it is the ONLY current topic to bounce around in the stratosphere of sports discourse.  What's wrong with the All-Star Game?!  I'm not dismissing the obvious - yes, the NBA All-Star Game is very much at an alarming point of necessary refinement and change - evaluation is needed. What we saw on Sunday night was not disappointing, but outright embarrassing. Also yes, gone are the days when the game flooded your television screen at a respectable 6:30pm on NBC, and you were wowed by the athleticism and star power of the first half of the game, and treated to what felt like the world's best players playing pickup basketball on the grandest stage.  Now? Not so much. So yeah, we got the message. The outrage - and shock TV and hot t
