I have to tell the truth?

Question

If you could ask me one question, and I had to tell the absoloute truth....

What would you ask me and why?

I am a dad, soccer coach, writer and concierge. In that order.

I'm not antiyaddayaddayadda. We need rules. If there were no red cards in the game, the game would run amok. And The game I speak of is Life.

48 hours in Sydney: a park, a museum, a gallery, some footie, dining outdoors, red wine, kisses, between 1 and 130.

Movie: It's a tie - Gladiator, Sound of Music, Shawshank Redemption

Meteor: I don't think it'll happen in our lifetime. But it's bound to happen again. So is the way of the universe. We might meet a comet, too.

Beer: No, yours is warm and backwashed! I'll take a fresh one, thanks.

Why did I ask this? Because a cheeky Australian girl did, and she's nearly as brilliant as me ;)

Credit card # 4248 3263 2353 091 ... wait, what am I doing???

Different in life? I would have stuck it out in football. I was a backup punter, which is anything but glorious, but I should have stuck it out!

I nearly always tell the truth - unless it will hurt you or me

My toilet water swirls left. I think.

I do believe in Santa. Santa represents hope, and I'm all for hope. I believe in the tooth fairy, too, but just because when I was a kid, I saw her. She's leggy, gives great shoulder rubs, smells like mint and is a great kisser.

Myspace: I'd never run off with a boy from Pakistan I met there. Or a girl from Hoboken. I'm over myspace. I met an ex on there. Doesn't have much appeal to me these days. I'd rather participate in this discourse, and I love my email inbox.

I don't think our existence is meaningless, with or without God. At some point, our actions have to be for ourselves. Be good to each other. If God is watching, he'll be pleased. If he isn't, you'll be pleased. If he doesn't exist, we'll all be pleased.

I am Christian. An episcopalean, with a strong appreciation for all religious views. I was a religious studies minor in college. I'm definitely a New Testament kind of guy.

Kitty: Keep the emails coming, and you'll learn more about me! (plus, I'll learn more about you)

Frog: Online is just an extension of the real me.

Deb: I wish I had met Steve! I loved his energy. He's missed. I *do* say crikey. I say a lot of things in the short term. I'll use English or Southern American slang if I'm around it for a bit. My dad used to call me "Pedico" when I was a kid - parrot, in spanish. That can be good and bad!

When I was a kid, they used to take me to Dirty Harry movies. When a car jumped off a ramp in one movie, I yelled, "look at that son of a b*tch go!' (I'd heard it before, but to hear a 6-year-old blurt it out ... well, there were a lot of laughs, apparently, but my parents were understandably embarrassed!)

Regrets: I shouldn't have had that sausage mcmuffin this morning! haha

I wish I had talked to that girl, Laura, my freshman year in college.

I wish I had studied abroad.

I wish I would have gone on the field against Gaston Day, even though I probably would have been tossed. The officials were helping the other team set up against our corner kick! Unbelievable. I should have walked out on the field.

Other than that ... no real big regrets!

One regret: that i didn't give a homeless guy my shoes.

I was at a traffic light, and this guy tells me he's from new orleans, displaced from Hurricane Katrina. I gave him a pack of peanuts and a Coke zero. he downed the drink and smiled, just like the commercials. haha

I looked at his shoes. they were so tattered you could see his feet. the light changed, and i left. i wish i had taken off my shoes for him. i could have gone through the day without shoes.

I'd see how many girls I could kiss in an hour.

I'd spend an hour calling friends and family to say goodbye. I wouldn't tell them it was my final day, though.

Then I'd find a good spot by a lake, throw down a blanket, and spend my final hours talking to my girls. answering all their questions. assuring them i'll always be with them. always.

I'm 31.

My movie: The Coach who loved to Write ... or the Writer who loved to coach! Or, "Superman Wears Eli Pajamas"
Soundtrack: Would include Eagles, some Stevie Wonder, Beethoven, Al Green, Metallica, Kellie Pickler and "Across the Universe" by the Beatles

Andy Garcia would play me.

My children were definitely conceived, and not a science experiment or a mail-in offer!

divorced ... traveling so much as a writer didn't help, and neither did moving the family 600 miles from home

Answer 1

If there was going to be a movie of your life, what would it be called? what would the soundtrack be? and who would play you? why?
OK it's more than one question but they are related so you'll let me off right?

Answer 2

Do cons ever ask real questions that could be resolved through debate? Or, do they just disguise Obama bashing as questions? Such as: Isn't Obama the worst President ever? Can you believe how stupid Obama is? And, now Does Obama ever tell the truth? Similarly, you could see questions on Bush with the same effect: Was Bush the worst President in history? Why did Bush lie so much? My point is this is not a real question. It's a rant. Break it down to smaller points, cite examples of individual issues and start a debate. For example, you could say: Yesterday, Obama said X about issue Y. But, then he did something else. What was his motivation? Without making a point, your question is pointless. Sorry.

Answer 3

Good to see all that info, but if I were you, I'd cancel the credit card since you gave the number away. This is how many people steal, with other people's card number.
Glad to know you are a Christian. I don't meet many of them today from another country.
You have a MySpace page, so do I.
Now to ask you what I would ask you is this: Do you say Crikey! a lot? I know Steve Irwin did a lot. And have you ever met him personally?
I ask because I want to know what he was like. He seemed to be very interesting to meet.

Answer 4

How would you and I spend 48 hours in Sydney?

(boyfriends, girlfriends don't exist)

Oh nearly huh? Must I remind you who's idea the question was? I beleive that leaves me in the 'most brilliant' seat, no?

What about playing footsies under the table at dinner? ;)

Answer 5

well,
Lao Tzu has said " Truth can not be said.When truth is said it becomes untruth."
Whatever all mystcs have said about truth are just finger pointing to the moon.They all have shown the path,not the truth.So they have said that truth can be experienced but it can not be expressed in words.
So my friend,i will not ask any question because i know truth can not be said.ok?

Answer 6

I would ask you which direction your toilet water spins when you flush it over there.

Why? Because I've only ever flushed a toilet on the east side of the states.

Answer 7

Are you a Christian? If not, would you like to be? It would be okay if you said no, all God tells us to do is go and tell. He says nothing about making people accept Him. I'd tell you and you could choose if you wanted to accept Him or not.

Answer 8

Is life even with God is meaningless because the only way to have freedom is to have no meaning so that freedom can make his own meaning in to this so meaningless world?and if so is God with meaning or meaningless?

Answer 9

Do you think the world will be hit by another meteorite in our life time. Meaning this century. It is either yes or no cannot be I don't know.
