Who would win in a fight, Captain America or Batman?

Captain American would for the sake of brotherhood.
Batman should because he's got just enough of a dark side to whoop anyone. However, I think he might back off and be the "bad guy" (like in The Dark Knight) for the sake of the greater good that is the American spirit.

What's your biggest obsession?

In general? Probably my two computers. I'm a level headed guy, but I have a strong geek side to things. I'm not a gamer, but I really do use my computer as a source of information (like yellow pages, basic trivia about stuff in conversation, whatever). I look at it like those terminals on Star Trek. I love technology in general, but having an open source of information and communication like the internet is the greatest tool in decades.

I guess I could cover many topics on that question, but I'll leave it at that for now.

Whats your speaking voice like?

Do you talk softly?

Do you have a strong accent?

Do you work for google??

I see Well, I was expecting something about WALL-E (and I think this is the best recent movie "for kids"), but I guess I should have asked "what's your recent obsession", am I right?

So why so sad?

Do you hate when people typo?

what is your ideal man like?

How do you know so much stuff about...stuff? Your like the most informed guy I know on EVERYTHING!

I'm boisterous, yet my voice still cracks a little bit. It always has. If I'm lazy and don't focus, it can sound like a 15 year old, but most times, I'm just loud. Not overpowering, but I'm a big boy with a bigger voice. I think I 20 years ago my accent would have been squarely in Oklahoma, but now it's a cross. My family in OK thinks I sound too New York, but NYers think they can hear "something else" in my voice. I think it's a weird mesh of both.

And no you hoser, I don't work for google. LOL (Kind of wish I did....their campus and offices are AWESOME.)

zaza said:

Well, recent obsession would be getting all the Pixar movies on BluRay. I have some on regular DVD, and Disney has an Upgrade 2 BluRay program. I send them a proof of purchase, and they send me a $8 coupon toward the same title on BluRay.

The George Michael Live In London DVD is something I watch every other day too.

Rarely sad, my friend. In fact, this week alone has turned out to be quite nice. Landed a very nice 3 story, 2 bed/2.5 bath, balcony, attached garage, washer/dryer included Townhome that I move into on March 1st. I can't wait to set up shop again and my little record studio to make some music.

what was ur first impression of prince, when u 1st herd him on the radio ? ?

There's a time when people make a simple typo, or might "Fat finger" a letter (a total porny term, but just means instead of the T, perhaps your finger leaned over to the R or Y instead.)

Then there are times when I think folks are just lazy in their approach to speaking or communicating. I'm not perfect in it, I know. I flub up every now and again. However, just as someone takes pride in how they dress or act, I take pride in how I communicate. "Oh, it's just the internet." Yes, but habits are easily formed sometimes. I remember my Algebra teacher in high school, Connie Overstreet, saying "Don't learn the mistake." Meaning don't get used to the wrong way of doing things. Don't let THAT be your habit. So when people lazily says "then" instead of "than", they're literally saying it wrong in their head, and that translates badly onto paper. I wonder if college aged kids who make those sort of mistakes get corrected by their teachers, when the student writes a paper, etc.

I'm also a writer, so words are like jewels to me. I love to read what people type and communicate to me, but I also want it to be disernable and not something that will make me think they're vocally lazy or just uneducated.

On a more personal note; A lot of my family are from Oklahoma. Oklahoma is not some backwards place but, like anywhere, there are those sections of the state that have the hicks. Some of my family have that hick mentality, and it annoys the shit out of me. My cousin, who is my age, said recently on her Facebook "my daughters having me a grandbaby!" REALLY, Jane? She's having it just for YOU??? I corrected her just to be a dick, and of course it went right over her head. Just irritated me that she's 40 and still can't form a fucking sentence.

Hmmm, Someone roughly my height, or taller (I always like to lean UP to a guy to kiss him, but I'm 6' tall, so most guys are shorter on average). He doesn't have to be perfectly in shape. I like husky guys, bit of muscle and chub on them is good to me. My biggest things with a guy is feeling safe with him emotionally and otherwise. I want someone to look out for me by telling me my hair is sticking up, or I have an eye booger, or coming up behind me in the kitchen while I fix his dinner, and gently hugging me from behind and kissing the back of my neck. He has to be as funny as he is romantic, and as horny as he is active. Someone who is an uninhibited in bed as I am, and takes me to new places sexually.

tinaz said:

Oh please, as much as I'd like to think I know stuff, I'm not as informed as I might seem. Sometimes, it's just as simple as looking things up on a Wikipedia page or a news page. Like anyone on earth, you just gather knowledge and trivia about things as life progresses. Our brains actually retain every bit of knowledge or whatever that we ever encounter. It's forever there. I just do my best, failing sometimes, to recall what I can. I also hate that America has "dumbed" itself down and become lazy in its quest for knowledge. I'm not trying to be smarter than anyone else, I just want to be informed of whatever I can that might relate to me or be interesting to me.

I first heard Prince on a K-Tel record. I bought Soundwaves, because it had "Upside Down" from Diana Ross on it and "Funkytown" from Lipps, Inc. "I Wanna be Your Lover" on it as well from some dude named Prince. I remember hearing the falsetto and thinking "is that a girl? Is 'Prince' a title?" I loved the song, and sort of wished that jam went on longer instead of fading at 2:55 or whatever. Side A of that record was always my favorite. It had more R&b type songs on it. Side B was a bit more pop oriented, some light rock. I talked about it here: http://prince.org/msg/8/317068

It was a slow warm up to him, but I was always aware of him when his songs were on the radio. It was about 1982 w/ 1999, and hearing "Delirious" on the radio in Oklahoma City, and jamming to "Little Red Corvette" in my aunt's RED CORVETTE STINGRAY that I really started to enjoy this guy. A year later, a friend got me Controversy from a friend for Christmas, then I dived right into Purple Rain, as "When Doves Cry" was hitting the radio. Oddly, it wasn't until later on in the 80's that I dug into Prince and Dirty Mind.

I kind of got into his albums in a shuffle fashion I guess.

What are your biggest insecurities?

What are you most possessive of (person or thing)?

What makes you angry?

tinaz said:

I didn't get to the tour. But I love the BluRay. I even watch that documentary on there, I'd Know Him A Mile Off. My roommate and I go around and randomly say, "I'd know him a mile off and that is not George Michael!"

PunkMistress said:

Insecurities = probably like anyone, not being good enough. Being a day late and a dollar short type thing. I was also paranoid as a kid. I always thought other people were whispering about me. Not quite mental, but more like a neurosis like Waldo in the "Hot For Teacher" video, minus the overt geek facade. I never fit in, so over the years, I just made my own niche and let whoever in that didn't fit elsewhere. I think it's why I try to create debate when it comes to someone's humanity, and others are quick to dismiss someone based on one incident.

I'm most possessive of my media I think. I don't loan out CDs or DVDs or books, EVER. I catalog everything I own. I have spreadsheets for DVDs, CDs, LPs, books, etc. Luckily there's an app called Delicious Library for Mac that lets you scan the UPC code w/ your cam, or manually enter the UPC or ISBN number and it keeps everything in check for you I went through a couple of times in my life where I lost EVERYTHING, so I'm very possessive of my things now.

Injustice makes me angry. People dropping the N bomb like it's nothing, as if the "a" on the end makes it a better word than "er" on the end of it. Mental laziness angers me. When people use 1000 year old cliche's to convey a point, and be dismissive. Do they think they're the first one to come up with that bit of pseudo-cleverness? (Like when someone says they're hard of hearing in one ear and the other person says, "WHAT?"! like it's a new joke. BORING!) People think in the moment, and can't even imagine looking a step ahead sometimes. I've been guilty of it, but shit....when are we going to grow up a little bit and stop being grade school types mentally?

I think everyone has potential to do really great things. Not building a super WiFi tower or anything, but just being a small change in their own little world. Gandhi said "We must be the change we wish to see in the world". He meant it just has to start at home. Be nicer to someone, pay for someone's food who is behind you in the drive thru at Wendy's, and let it be. Simple things that can, at least for a while, change something. Everyone bitches about how the internet and texting has made people less sensitive to each other, yet we LIVE by those things. There's no balance to life anymore. That angers me. It angers me that we're fat and lazy and obsessed with technology to the point that it's a hindrance than a help, and that the world laughs at Americans for that. Super Power? More like Super Sized.

Wow, that U2BR program sounds great! It's really kind of them.

I love the Pixar movies mainly because of all those bonus short movies! They're great and sometimes I feel like they're much more fun.

pizza or lasagne?
