Would You Rather Questions: 211-220


211. Would you rather have a pause or a rewind button in your life?

A rewind button would imply the ability to do things over, or again. While that would be great, it does take the essence out of life. You win some, you lose some, and ultimately, you learn. 

It would be nice to pause in specific moments to make them last longer, or to simply slow the decision-making process down. We've all been there in becoming overwhelmed in a moment, and either not understanding it fully or missing out. 

212. Would you rather always have a full phone battery or a full gas tank?

I understand the (over) reliance on our phones in today's world. But I'm going with gas as plugging in a phone is more convenient (and maybe cheaper?). 

213. Would you rather lose all of your teeth or lose a day of your life every time you kissed someone?

This is...weird? 

Give me eventual vaneers. No way, I'm kissing my wife. 

214. Would you rather oversleep every day for a week or not get any sleep at all for four days?

I used to be able to get away with limited sleep - not anymore. Not in my 40s. I feel it EVERY TIME my body and mind don't get adequate sleep. I'll deal with oversleeping and rushing through the morning routine. 

HEy, theres a chance you can still make it on time.

215. Would you rather get trapped in the middle of a food fight or a water balloon fight?

Been there on the food fight thing. Not fun. 

I'll take the water balloon fight, especially on a hot summer day.

216. Would you rather be able to take back anything you say or hear any conversation that is about you?

Ooooooooh! This is sort of a take on the above question - deleting comments you say are interesting. I think I'll go this route, we all put our foot in our mouths, this would give me a chance to minimize that. 

Hearing any conversation about me would mess with my psyche. I don't need that, and in many cases, I'm not sure I would care. 

217. Would you rather be the absolute best at something that no one takes seriously or be average at something well respected? 

What does it mean to be average at something well respected? What is that something?! Am I average at being a doctor - because that's not good! 

I'll go being awesome at being the best at something no one takes seriously. That makes for a fun fact and an interesting story. I was once amazing at MVP Baseball 2005 for the PlayStation 2. Does that qualify?

218. Would you rather travel the world free for a year or have $50,000 to spend however you please? 

Travel the world for free. 

There is NO WAY 50K is equivalent to that option these days. 

219. Would you rather stay the age you are physically forever or stay the way you are now financially forever?

This is a tough one. I'm not sure I would want to stay the same age physically forever or financially forever. I believe there is some beauty in aging. And with inflation the way it is, there is no chance I would want to be locked in forever. 

I guess I'll pick staying where I'm at here at 40 years of age, forever. Not too bad, I guess. 

220. Would you rather have a photographic memory or an IQ of 200? 

You mean like Mike Ross from Suits? He got pretty far on photographic memory. 

I still think I'll choose an IQ of 200. Remembering sounds like it can get exhausting.

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.
