Yes, I realize this is not the easiest assignment in the world. If, by chance, you find yourself inclined to answer, don't fuck around with verbiage. Don't read too much into what I am saying. Don't go off topic.
If we're not supposed to read into it, why is it in the philosophy forum?
1. what piece of writing has influenced your philosophy the most?
I'm going to go with 1984 by George Orwell. I've read a lot of stuff that's changed my perception of things. But I had read 1984 at the beginning of 7th grade and it made me start asking a lot of questions.
2. If You were to order a meal at a restaurant, and it was exactly what you wanted, what would it be?
Tough. Depends on mood, of course. A nice piece of venision with some aged Burgundy would be nice.
3. What is your favorite musical recording? Why?
Again, depends on mood. I've been re-listening to a lot of Radiohead's older material and I'm liking it more than I origianally did. So I'll say Radiohead's "The Bends".
4. If you could say one thing to the world, what would it be?
You can say something, but that doesn't mean anyone will listen. Still... "Relax and be Groovy"
5. What is your idea of a perfect day?
Shit... Just one day off with my fiancee would be nice. Probably doing something cool like exploring NYC for the first time.
6. Who or what do you hate? If that is the wrong word, say something about what you stand against, and why...
The Self-Righteous. Those that decide that they've figured out the best way to live one's life and then try to force it on those around them.
7. 100 years from now (or longer, enough time for all but these words to live on) what would you have written as your epitaph?
To tell the truth I don't really care about things like this. So I'll just go with humour. "Be Right Back"
8. If you could run away to somewhere... where would it be? Why?
Right now, I'm planning my honeymoon in the Bahamas and hopefully my future life in the Pacific Northwest. Also, I want to travel and see every sight I can.
9. What is your most memorable moment?
I'd have to say when I got over my depression. I got over my existential funk and have been moving forward and up ever since.
10. If you could make 1 movie mandatory watching in high school today, what would it be?
Requiem For a Dream. That outta open a few eyes out there..
