If…

This is week twenty-three in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”

There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able. In addition, I invite you to answer the questions along with me, whether it be in the comments section, your own personal blog, or just within your own thoughts.

Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.

This week’s questions:

If you could enact one law in your country that does not currently exist, what would it be?

I would make it legal for all couples to marry in the US. You would receive the same treated, protection as well as benefits. Love is love and everyone should be supported the same. There was a news report where a woman passionately stated that gay people should not be allowed to marry since it would ruin the morals of standard marriage. I thought that was funny since right now the divorce rate is 50% of all marriages. That would mean since gay people can not get married that it is the straight people who have been fucking it up. Maybe the gay community would help return marriage to level it once had.

If you could own only one thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

I know the logical answer is a house because you have place to live and the equity in the house BUT I think a laptop would be so important. My laptop was not working for a week (my old PC not the MAC) and I thought I would die. My whole is on there and supported with the access to the internet. If I have a laptop and the internet, I am all set.

If you could be the current world champion in any one sport, which sport would it be?

Croquet. Wouldn’t that be so much fun and random. People would ask what you do for a living and you would say, “I am a professional croquet player and currently hold the world champion.” You could go to friends parties and kick serious ass in croquet. People would be so shocked because they would never know there was such and thing as a champion but it would be you. PLUS not everyone owns a croquet set so you wouldn’t have to prove it all the time. That can be so annoying. I am sure Michael Phelps hates going to waterparks just for this reason.

If you could spend a weekend in any hotel in the world with all the expenses paid, which hotel would you choose?

I would select the suite in the Disney Magic Kingdom castle. Why? Even though I live in Orlando, you can’t rent the suite in the castle. It is only given as a reward to guests and you know almost all of them are 2 parents and their 2.5 kids. It would be great to stay there because most people only get one night. I would have a whole weekend and they have 24 hour room service so you can have anything from the resort brought to you. You would be treated so well and there are no other guests in your hotel. You get access to the parks when no one is there. It would be just magical and an experience no one else could share.

Those are my answers to this week’s questions. What are yours?

If…

This is week twenty-two in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”

There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able. In addition, I invite you to answer the questions along with me, whether it be in the comments section, your own personal blog, or just within your own thoughts.

Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.

This week’s questions:

If you could decide how to spend your last day alive, what would you do?

I do not know what my life will be on my last day. I just know I do not want to spend it alone. I want it to not be sad but I want it to be fun and full of laughter. I prefer not to know it is my last day. I would rather it just ends in my sleep, peacefully.

If you could decide what will be written on your gravestone, what would you have inscribed?

I do not want a gravestone. I want to be cremated and scattered. Somewhere like a beach or a park. Where people will visit and feel death but life. I do not want just my family and friends to visit but it will be public so people will always be around. I want it to be a happy place where I can be laid to rest.

If you could choose the single most valuable thing you ever learned, what would it be?

What goes around, comes around. I have seen it so many times. You have to be careful how you treat people and what you do. There really is a balance in life.

If you were kidnapped and allowed to telephone one person for one minute only, who would you call?

I think anyone would call the police. That would be the logical answer. If I could not call the police I would call my mom. She would know what to do or at least make me feel safe in a scary situation. She would give me strength.

Those are my answers to this week’s questions. What are yours?

This is week twenty-one in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”

Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.

This week’s questions:

If you could make a gift of one thing to any single person alive today, who would it be, what would give them, and how would you present it to them?

I would give my parents the island of Bermuda. They could return to the place they meant and the whole family would be able love together with them. I think they would find that a great location to return to and would love to have the whole family together.

I would present it to them by taking them there on a trip for them to find a house open for them and surprising them with the rest of the family already being there.

If you could have composed any single piece of music that already exists, which would you choose?

I would want it to be a popular song that I could make a lot of money from. I wonder if I could own Happy Birthday and charge every time it is sung. :)

I am going to pick something fun! How about Axel F. Do you remember that song from the 80’s? I am going to pick that one!!

If you were invited to join one current musical group, which group would you want to be a member of, and what instrument would you play?

I would want to join Maroon 5. I think I would enjoy working with them and they seem like a fun bunch of guys. I could be the token gay guy on the group that we know of so far…

I would play bass guitar because I feel it would be better for me. I could stand up front but not have to worry about singing lead or being the lead guitar.

If you were to receive any existing public award, what award would you like to win?

Nobel Peace Prize. Who wouldn’t want to win that? I think it would be great to know you made that much of a difference in people’s lives and the world. It is a major accomplishment.

This is week twenty in my and Nick’s personal “If… Project” in which we answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”

There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able. In addition, I invite you to answer the questions along with me, whether it be in the comments section, your own personal blog, or just within your own thoughts.

Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.

This week’s questions:

If you could bring back any past leader of your country to run the country again, who would you want?

Clinton. I know not everyone was happy with his scandal but the economy was rocking back then. We need someone like him to turn things around like he did last time. We need change and we need it now!

If you could own any building in existence, which would you pick?

I have never been to New York and I do not know if this building is even in a nice neighborhood but I have always loved the Flat iron building. I think it would be a great building to own and it would be fun to live in.

If you could choose exactly what you will eat and drink for your last meal before death, what would the menu consist of?

How sad is this knowing it would be your last meal. I know it would breakfast since it is my favorite meal of the day. Maybe my sister’s french toast or my mom’s crepes. Maybe just a Cinnabun. That would put me in a sugar rush for my last day. It could be any breakfast food. Would even be better if it was a huge brunch! What is funny is I have always said I didn’t want a funeral but all the people who loved me to get together for brunch.

If you could own any one existing sculpture from anywhere in the world, but not the right to sell it, which one would you want?

There are so many wonderful for sculptures out there. I have two I would love to own. They are both so different and on different coasts of the US.

One is the Portlandia:

And the other is the LOVE sculpture found in Love Park:

If…

This is week nineteen in Nick and I’s personal “If… Project” in which we answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”

There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. We plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as we are able. In addition, I invite you to answer the questions along with me, whether it be in the comments section, your own personal blog, or just within your own thoughts.

Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.

This week’s questions:

If your home were to be totally destroyed by fire but you could save just one thing, what would it be.

I am going to assume Piper is saved already. I would grab my Teddy bear and Boo Boo Kitty from when I was a kid. You can replace memories like that. I actually have a box they are with other items that should be saved. I would just grab the box. You can not relive your past but you can remember it and I wouldn’t want to let it go.

If you were to have your friends, in private, attribute a single quality to you, what would you want it to be?

I would want them to attribute a wonderful heart. I would love to know they thought I was loving and a true friend. That is most important to me. I want to know I made a difference in their lives in a positive way.

If a photograph of one part of your body were to be used in an advertisement, which part would you want to be used, and for what product or service?

People always comment on how dark my eyes are. I do not think I would want that in a ad but it is something people talk about. I think I would pick my smile. I think it truly represents me. It would be nice to know I was representing smiling. :)

If…

This is week seventeen in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”

There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able. In addition, I invite you to answer the questions along with me, whether it be in the comments section, your own personal blog, or just within your own thoughts.

Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.

This week’s questions:

If you had to spend one year alone in the wilderness, where would you go?

I do not think I would do well roughing it. Just last year was the first time I ever went camping. It was one night in a tent by the beach.

If I had to pick anywhere, I would choose Central Park. That is the wilderness right? Central Park even has wild animals. Even though they are in a zoo, they are still wild animals. Trust me, it would be scary for me but at least I could get take out delivered.

If you had to work in one type of factory for the remainder of your days but could choose which kind, what would you pick?

My friend Nick selected a video game factory and I agree with his selection. You could be a tester and just play games. It would be a fun job. I am sure you would get tired after so long but sometimes you would find that game you could become obsessed with and play and play until you are done and that is your job!

If you could possess one supernatural ability, what would it be?

I know exactly which one I would want, I would want to be able to be invisible. Think about the all the fun you could have if you were invisible? You could travel all over for free and just appear when you wanted. You could disappear when you were scared or threatened. It would just be a fun ability to have.

Of course I also thought telekinesis would be fun as well. Justin would like me to pick something more practical like teleporting, but I want something FUN!

If you had to paint your entire home, inside and out, one single color other than white, what could would you pick?

You would think I would select red because it is my favorite color. I think represents me and it would be tense to have a whole house red. I need balance so I would love a nice ocean blue. It would be calming and relaxing. Just would allow me to be settled. I would be the red in the room.

This is week sixteen in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”

There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able. In addition, I invite you to answer the questions along with me, whether it be in the comments section, your own personal blog, or just within your own thoughts.

Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.

This week’s questions:

If you could only keep one of your five senses, which would you save?

I do not which one I could live my life with. I would miss all my senses. It would be hard to just pick one. Being without touch would be quite interesting but I will assume I would survive. I am only to choose to keep my sight. It would not be easy but I am sure with support from family and friends I could make it.

If you could have lived during any one period of time in past history, when and where would it be?

I would choose the Renaissance. So much art was created during this period. It would be a fun time just to see what life was like during this period. Of course people did not live as long and I do not if gay people were so welcome. I still think it would be fun.

If, one by one, you had to place each of the people with you right now in another period of history that you think suits them best, when and where would you place them?

Why would I want people in my life to be moved from me into different time periods? I would choose to keep them exactly where they are, with me. It maybe selfish but I would push people away.

If you had to describe the saddest thing that ever happened to you, what would you talk about?

I do not want to dwell on the sad things in my life. Yes there are quite a few I could think of but for the most part, I moved on to better times as well. I believe life is full of up and downs. It is all how you handle them and look at them that makes the difference.

This is week fifteen in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”

There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able. In addition, I invite you to answer the questions along with me, whether it be in the comments section, your own personal blog, or just within your own thoughts.

Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.

This week’s questions:

If you could have one specific power over other people, what would it be?

I would want the power to make people happy. Wouldn’t it be great? When people were around you, they would just get a great sense of happiness. Maybe I would even be able to help people themselves through a rough spot.

As a coach, I do that a lot but it does require the other person to WANT to do it. With this power, I could just do it and see the results.

If you had to lose everyone you know in a tragic accident except one person, who would you choose to survive?

This is a horrible question. At least it is not another question about who I will eat dinner with.

I could never pick one person. First, I would be so upset because EVERYONE else was gone. Second, I would hate to leave with the guilt that I selected the one person to live. Would not be a great place to be.

If you could have one meal from your past exactly as it was, which would you repeat?

I would love for it to be one of the great places I enjoyed a breakfast buffet. I love breakfast and being it was a HUGE selection I wouldn’t get bored. Maybe the one at Hark Rock Hotel at Universal. That would be nice. Does this count, or am I cheating?

If you could become famous for doing something that you don’t currently do, what would it be?

I would love to host by own reality show. A show where I went around and helped people achieve something of their life list and then celebrated the accomplishment with them! It would be a blast! Think of all the cool things I would get to help people do and be there to take part in it!

Those are my answers to this week’s questions. What are yours?

This is week fourteen in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”

Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.

This week’s questions:

If you could have one person alive today call you for advice, who would you want it to be?

Well since I am a life coach a lot of people call me to help them change their lives already. I really do not need someone in particular since I like all my clients now. And I am sure I will like all my future clients as well.

If you could have any person from any time in history call you for advice, and they were to listen to what you told them, who would you want to hear from?

George W Bush – Please don’t run for President…EVER

If you could easily visit one known planet, which one would you go to?

Planet Smoothie. You can always go for a nice smoothie to jump start your day. Seriously, who would pick another planet? We could only see it from a ship window I assume so how much fun would that be.

If you could have been the author of any single book already written, which book would you want to have penned?

Of course I would choose Harry Potter! That book was crazy popular and will be huge for many, many, MANY years to come. Let’s just hope my book does half as well. :)

This is week thirteen in my personal “If… Project” in which I answer questions from the book “If… (Questions for the Game of Life)”

There are 125 pages of this book, each with four questions. I plan to take one page each week and answer the questions as thoroughly and honestly as I am able. In addition, I invite you to answer the questions along with me, whether it be in the comments section, your own personal blog, or just within your own thoughts.

Perhaps in doing so, we will get to know each other better, but even more importantly, get to know ourselves better.

This week’s questions:

If you had to name the most terrifying moment of your life so far, what would it be?

I would guess the most terrifying experience would be when I had my tonsils removed. The actual morning surgery was not scary, it was the late night that was.

I woke up that evening feeling horrible and burning up with a fever. My mother came in to help me feel better and sit with me. Out of no where I vomited pure blood. This let me know I was bleeding from my surgery.

We called 9-1-1 and I was rushed to the hospital where they noticed my stitches had all opened up. They tried their best to stop the bleeding while I was awake which consisted of shoving tissues in my throat. Finally, they had no choice but to put me back under.

I was in the hospital for a total of 6 days of which 3 I remember. I lost 10 pounds but I made it through.

I can honestly say I do not remember being scared. It may because of the blood loss or I could have been in shock. Either way, I figure it is one of the most terrifying times in my life because I was the closest to death. then I would like to remember.

If you had to be homeless for one year, where would you want to be?

I would hope I would never be homeless but if I did, I would chose to live in Orlando. I have enough family and friends who would help me out in this situation.

I also know if I was here, I know so much of this town I would have a way better chance at surviving.

If you could have one street or square or park in any city or town renamed after you, which one would you select and exactly what would the name be?

I would love a park named after me. The best park would be located near the Rollins College campus here in Florida when I went to school. I would love to be part of the college I attended and offer a nice place for students, faculty and anyone to just relax and have a good time in the sun.

I wouldn’t mind having another park in Orlando named after me, if there wasn’t anything available at Rollins College. The best park would of course be Lake Eola but do I really want history changed and the park now named after me? SURE why not! That could be very cool. 200806291248.jpg

If you could be guaranteed one thing in life besides money, what would you ask for?

Happiness
