Son of Friday's Feast
Friday's Feast, 1 July 2005.
Appetizer Where do you plan to go on vacation this year, or where would you want to go?
'Vacation' for me is most likely to mean going back to Colorado for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, though the family has developed a tradition of meeting in Montana for Thanksgiving recently.
Soup What color is your bedroom? If you could redecorate it, what would you change?
For some inexplicable reason, whoever painted this room the last time chose a particularly uninspired shade of military olive drab. I'm a fan of flat white paint for the bedroom, myself.
Salad Do you have a bumper sticker on your vehicle? What does it say?
I have exactly one bumper sticker. It looks like a Colorado license plate and says "Native". No, I'm not from Utar, thank you very much.
Main Course What's the worst pain you've ever been in?
Getting divorced last year comes most immediately to mind.
Dessert Who is your favorite celebrity? What do they do that inspires you?
Most celebrities don't inspire me at all. They do little or nothing for the benefit of society as a whole; they seem only to care about their own fame and whatever pet project happens to have caught their interest at the moment. Even if they are involved in some sort of 'cause', it's usually just promoting a political agenda that ultimately benefits them as much as anyone else. By and large, celebrities are as useless as a chocolate teapot. Most of them couldn't find the real world with both hands and a bloodhound.
The people who inspire me are real people who work hard to make it in the real world despite obstacles that celebrities only pretend to overcome in movies and on TV.
For a more eloquent explanation, see the lyrics to Rush's Nobody's Hero.
