1. what piece of writing has influenced your philosophy the most?

Come to think, no one piece of writing comes to mind, yet I'm very philosophical. Maybe Out of Body Experiences by Robert Petersen. I don't know if I believe in OOBEs, but the things he talks about are startling and intriguing and have stayed with me over the years.

2. If You were to order a meal at a restaurant, and it was exactly what you wanted, what would it be?

A sourdough melt with seasoned curly fries and a Cherry Coke; a fudge brownie topped with vanilla ice cream for dessert.

3. What is your favorite musical recording? Why?

a) Henryk Gorecki's Sympony No. 3, as performed by the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra. It's fucking transcendant. I like it better than the London Philharmonic version.

4. If you could say one thing to the world, what would it be?

Compassion is the only way you will avoid self-destruction.

5. What is your idea of a perfect day?

Waking up on a warm summer morning next a girl I fancy, followed by pancakes and eggs, a walk on the beach, lunch in town, shopping in the afternoon, drinks and dinner at a nice restaraunt in the evening with friends, followed by a concert and dancing, then sweet love and sleep.

6. Who or what do you hate? If that is the wrong word, say something about what you stand against, and why...

Legislating morality and lifestyle for the masses while the priveleged get away with murder. It is a tradition that spans recorded history, from Egypt to America, shrouded in shame and exposing the worst of human nature.

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?

If there's anyone still around to read this, then he did something right.

8. If you could run away to somewhere... where would it be? Why?

Somewhere tropical, lazing in a hammock with a margerita in one hand and a cigar in the other.

9. What is your most memorable moment?

Sitting in my truck at the airport after an ex-girlfriend cheated on me.

10. If you could make 1 movie mandatory watching in high school today, what would it be?

That's a tough one. Maybe Schindler's List.

Man, I gotta fit that saying into a conversation. WELL DONE!! Bravo!
It's just psychoactive drugs in action. Shrooms, peyote, LSD, et cetera.
