To discuss some answers to your burning questions

Hey, everyone else jumped on this gravy train. And, since Miss Tiff asked, how could I say no? Here are five questions, with my incomplete, somewhat dubious answers.... And yes, Bromance lovers, I'll be doing a Play by Play, I just haven't seen the episode yet. It should be trashtastic.

1.) Who the person you admire most and why?
Was this question taken from my fourth-grade writing assignment? I think I'm supposed to say my mommy and daddy and Jesus and my mailman, who is not my daddy until paternity tests prove otherwise.
I suppose my parents would make a nice, accurate selection- they're still together, they treat me well, they support my decisions and they've done well for themselves. Plus, my mom won first place for the holiday door decoration she put together for my apartment, so she's doing something right.

2.) If you could have one superhero power, what would it be and why?
If I was being honest, I'd say invisibility, because I'd totally go watch girls get naked in the locker room... but since this isn't the superhero power I wanted in my high school fantasy, I'd say it'd be fun to be a shapeshifter, a la Mystique in X-Men, minus the blue body paint and the marriage to Jerry O'Connell. I'd make myself look like Billy Mays and then spend the rest of the day shouting about how excited I am: "Billy Mays here for MILK. I'm at the self-check out with ordinary people who are BLOWN AWAY by MILK!. Can you BELIEVE THE POWER OF MILK? This has got JUST ONE PERCENT FAT. And look, it even works in your favorite recipes. AMAZING!" It would be great for work, for errands, and especially for church, because people would think you're overwhelmed with the spirit: "Billy Mays here for JESUS. Can you believe the POWER OF JESUS! This guy GETS OUT ALL MY SIN! I'm white as snow! And if you act now, I'll toss in NOT ONE, BUT TWO DEITIES- GOD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT! AMEN!"

3.) If you absolutely had to give up one thing you loved what would it be and why?
What, is there a gun to my head? There is? Always trying to get the white man down, aren't you?
Well, then... my career. I can't give up my family, Bailey, Capricorn, my friends, kindergarten girlfriend, or Tivo, GPS, XM radio, Elf Fudge cookies, steak, Olive Garden breadsticks, my iPod or The Office. So, see you later, journalism. It was destined to end at some point, likely with corporate layoffs, a small severance and little dignity.

4.) If you weren't in the career you are in now what would you be doing?
Oh, so I say I'd give it up at gun point, and now I have to switch careers? Kick a man while he's down. I would love to find a way to write funny blogs/scripts/ad copy for a living or do improv... but that's not exactly sustainable. How about a life coach? I'm put together, am even-keeled, and have read Rick Warren books, the book of Proverbs, Finances for Dummies and parts of Les Miserables. That should qualify me to tell someone else how to live. You'd hire me, right?

5.) If you could choose anywhere in the world to go where would it be and why?
I need to go to Australia. I'm getting tired of reading my Australian readers' blogs about how lovely it is there, without ever having seen it. And I've always wanted to go to England- the historic sites, the culture, the teeth- it would be breathtaking. Also, Alaska, because I'd like to see Russia.
