What's your New Year's resolution for 2010?

I don't make resolutions other than the one I make every year and have no trouble in fulfilling: to get laid as often as possible!

White lights or colored lights? Blinking or non-blinking? Bonus points if you show us a photo of the lights you used to decorate for the holidays.

I prefer colored Christmas lights, as I think white lights are boring and kind of pretentious.  After all, we see white lamps in different forms of lighting 365 days a year; there's nothing special about them.  On the other hand, we only see the strings of colored lights at Christmas time and color is inherently more interesting than the lack of color.

But I prefer non-blinking lights, as the blinky kind are kind of distracting and annoying.

I can't show you a picture, because I don't decorate for Christmas.

Do you have siblings? What's your relationship like with them? Bonus points if you share a photo!

I have two siblings; a brother and a sister.  We are not all that close as they are both more than a decade my senior.  I was closer to my brother when I was growing up, but now I keep in touch more with my sister, talking to her about once a month by phone.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how well do you sing?

Imagine the sound a chicken makes when it has a leg caught in a trap.  That is my level of singing ability.

Of course, that level of talent is little different from some of the contestants they have in the early part of the season.

What’s the hardest part about looking for a new job?

I think it's all the insincerity involved and the idea that I have to "sell myself".

I hate writing resumes, trying to sum up my entire work life on a single page having to use obfuscating jargon to do so.  As an example, one writes: "I coordinated all company communications", when you really mean, "I answered the phone".

I hate having to act as if I care a flying fuck about whatever widget/product the company I'm applying to deals in.  I hate having to pretend as if I'd get off from working for that company and that it would be my reason for living.

The truth of the matter is, the employer is seeking someone from whom they can get the maximum amount of work out of while paying the least amount they can get away with and, with perhaps the exception of creative jobs, the job seeker is looking for a job that they can get the maximum amount of pay from by doing the least amount of work. 

The best one can hope for is a healthy compromise between what the employer wants and what the job seeker wants.  And I'd prefer to do it with the least amount of bullshit possible, but I know that's impossible because bullshit is what makes the work world go 'round.

And to be truly honest, it wouldn't hurt my feelings to never have to spend another hour having to work for money ever again.

Why do you love your body?

Now, that's a loaded question.

I've heard it said that sex is all in the brain, but the body is the means by which the brain's sexual desire is fulfilled.  With my body, I've experienced years of sensual pleasure as well as given it to others in great measure.

Of course, there are other reasons, but this is the first that came to mind.

How do you cool off when you're upset?

Usually it's by doing something physical

Sometimes, I'll do some work that needs doing around the house or go for a long drive.

Most often, however, I go find a lover for some rather physically intense sex.

What's your favorite Michael Jackson song? Bonus points if you share the video.

I'd have to say Billie Jean, with the strong bass line in it.  I've never been a rabid Michael Jackson fan in general, but I always liked this song.

Summer is finally here! What are your plans?

My plans are to avoid the heat and sunlight as much as possible.   Because I work at night, I stay inside all day under air conditioning and when I do go out during the day, it's only from the house to the car, then to the building of whatever place I'm going.   I never willingly spend prolonged time outside when the weather is hot.

I also spend much of the summer looking forward to the return of fall and winter.

Would you rather be rich or famous?

That's very easy.  I'd much rather be rich than famous.  Famous people get mobbed wherever they go and have to avoid being seen in public in order to have any privacy.  Simply being rich without fame would allow me to go anywhere I wanted without being bothered,where I could spend my money in peace.

It's not attention I seek, but rather luxury.
