Would You??

If I had to choose I'd choose boring sex with a person I love. I suppose that's boring but I could always try to liven up the sex.

Would you create another screen name to keep tabs on somebody?

There have been times when I was tempted to do something like that but I hadn't actually followed through. So it is in the realm of possibilty of something I might do depending on the circumstances.

Would you hire a private investigator to follow a spouse if you suspected they might be cheating but were not really sure?

apart from that im pretty fiscally, er, conservative....laughs....and wouldn't want to spend the dollars on such a thing, I think I am my own good private investigator. but my goodness, id sooner have the conversation smack dab out in the open. i see the "investigating" itself as de facto problematic.


keeping in the theme of infidelity, if we've not asked this one before (though its sounding familiar), if you were good friends with a married couple and learned that one was cheating on the other, would you intervene in some capacity?

That is not a secret I would be willing to keep. I would tell the one who was cheeting that either they told their spouse or I would even if it ended the fiendship I wouldn't cover for them doing that especially if I was also friends with the spouse.

If you were dating soneone who wanted you to stop seeing a close friend of yours because they were jealous would you give up your friend or end the relationship?

Oh, **** me, end the relationship. If she requires me to dismiss a good friend, **** her, there are other spankable asses in the sea.

Would you secretly watch a series intended for teens, and teenage girls at that, even though you're a middle-aged man, 'cause you could watch it on Netflix in the privacy of your own home and no one'd ever know? Not that I'd ever do that.

well, a series, probably not, but this past year I become a pretty big fan of twilight...read the books and watched all the movies and thoroughly enjoyed them. id say the target audience is young adult and given the romance element, probably especially suited for girls. im not sure how many males got caught up in the team Edward vs team Jacob debate.

by the way, its totally team Edward. laughs...

if you lost all your books to some accident, would you work to replace your collection?

I got caught up in the Twilight movies and books when it all first came out, bounty, and I have to agree, it's team Edward. ;-)

Your question about the books is so frightening I'm afraid to repeat it, and also an interesting question. The only books I'd want to replace would be the rare, collectible ones, which very likely couldn't be replaced, anyway. My practice over the years with ordinary books has been to give them away when I'm done reading them, as I see no point in cluttering my home (more, that is) with books I've already read. I think my answer, then, is no. I'd mourn the loss of the precious volumes, and move on.

Would you subscribe to Spotify because you like their service, even though they're being sued by a number of musicians you respect and are a fan of, and as a musician yourself are concerned about musicians not being paid properly for their work, if, indeed, Spotify is guilty of that?

No I would not sunscribe to Spotify I just listen to Pandora for free.

Would you deny liking or pretend not to like a band you really enjoy because most the people you know think they suck?

Definitely not, Muse. I've gone through essentially my whole life loving music few of my peers did, especially when I was young, and often really not liking the music they were into, which was generally considered much more fashionable. Music is one thing I'm not willing to compromise on. OK, music and anchovies. I won't eat anchovies.

If you were sick of dealing with hair and wanted to just buzz it all off for convenience's sake, would you avoid doing so owing to the reactions and looks you'd get from others?

No I would not, when I was in high school I started getting the back of my neck shaved becsuse it made my hair more managable and comftrable, not the same as shaving your who,e head but when I did it thrn I got sone strange looks and reactions.

Would you date a woman who was bald or a guy who had waist length hair?

the file sharing/streaming music phenomena has certainly sparked some interesting ethical conversations.

I found the bald woman in star trek the motion picture (terrible movie!) very very attractive. so while women's hair can be great, the absence of its not a deal breaker by a long shot.

if you met who appears to be the love of your life, but in order to continue to be with that person you had to leave the country you are presently living in and go to another, would you go?

Probably, if the logistics worked out. It's not just about love is it? I would have to be able to create a stable happy life work-wise as well as personal-wise. Can my love move to me?

If you got bad service somewhere would you write an online review?

Probably not, I might post about it in my blog if it was really bad but I wouldn't do yelp or something like that I just wouldn't go there again.

If you were in a library or book store would you recomend a book you really liked to a stranger you saw browsing books?

laughs...I do that every chance I get muse! I love doing that. had a guy this summer buy three or four. i told the proprietor she should hire me!

I have even done the opposite, solicited advice from strangers about authors I don't know anything about. that was a fun question and brought back some good memories.

well then, in keeping with the question---would you actually buy the book and read it if someone did that with you?

That's an interesting one, Muse. It's been so long since I've been in a bookstore (used to spend countless hours in that sacred place) that I'm trying to remember. I think I vaguely remember being in that situation a couple of times, when someone browsing in the same section was debating whether to buy a book I'd read and liked. My inclination is to say no, at least at this stage of my life, because I try to avoid contact and entanglements of any kind with other human beings.

bounty, the beautiful bald woman in Star Trek: The Motionless Picture was Persis Khambatta, a very beautiful Indian actress who sadly died of cancer at about the age of thirty.

Picking up on your question about relocating to be with the love of your life, is there a maximum distance from your parents/children, etc. you would move? i.e., if the prospective location was more than 500 miles away from them, let's say, would you still go?
