If you had to pick a title to describe the story of your life what would it be?
The Book of Dilligaf.
Save Jesus? Kill Hitler? Or is the timestream too fragile without courting disaster?
It is impossible to travel through time, because “time” is an artificial, man-made construct. Time travel stories are cute and fun, but ultimately stupid because even if it were possible (which it is not) by travelling back in time, you would travel to a new timeline and not create a new one.
Save Jesus? No, because that would undermine the entire Christian religion. Without his sacrifice, what else is there?
Kill Hitler? No, because you would make that POS a martyr and part of me is happy to know that his last moments were spent knowing that his life’s work had all fallen apart around him and he had to kill himself to avoid being raped in a Russian prison for the next few years. Asshole.
Good or bad, what was the most transformative moment of your life?
The first time I heard the song ‘Girl From Baltimore’ by The Fleshtones changed my life. It opened up an entire world of music to me. From there, I tried new types of books, movies, and everything. I’m pretty sure that if I never heard that song, then I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
And yes, I have told the band that.
Kirk, Picard, Janeway, Archer, Pike or Sisco?
If I was trying to start or stop an interplanetary incident, Kirk. If I was going to war, Picard. If I was under siege and needed a strong leader, Janeway. If I was exploring uncharted areas, Archer. If I needed a diplomat, Sisco. If I needed a doorstop, Pike.
If you could have 1 super power, what would it be? Is this to general of a question? Should I just leave formspring to the articulate people?
The power to control all forms of energy. A little. No, I’ve answered more poorly written questions.
is Avengers:Earths Mightest Heroes the coolest show on TV right now, or what?
No, but it is the best of the comic book superhero shows on TV.
Name 3 songs (or albums) that the moment you listen to them, they transport you to another time, an encapsulated memory triggered by the notes… (if you can think of 3)
Even though I was born in ‘67, California Dreaming by The Mamas and The Papa has always made me think about the Sixties more than any other song. Mesopotamia by The B52s make me think about hanging out with my cousins in the 80s. Abracadabra by The Steve Miller Band was a song that always used to be played on Sunday nights when I had insomnia. Always.
