What are you most looking forward to this weekend?

Hmm... this weekend. That is a hard question. I think church, clearly, but I would also venture that I will finally get to offload some of my chaos. When I meet with people who speak into my life, I have the opportunity to let some of the chaos in my mind out. I can share it and control it or get rid of it.

It's kind of a mental colonic.

What is the worst city you've ever been to and why? 
Submitted by Soup.

Uniontown, AL

You can't know until you've been there. It's one of the places I always said, "Hope goes there when it wants to die."

Second Place:

Pahrump, NV

Whorehouses, strip clubs (read: unlicensed whorehouses) and a setting that makes you think, "So this is where they filmed those The Hills Have Eyes movies."

If your Vox Neighborhood had a potluck dinner tonight, what dish, drink or dessert would you bring?

Either sweet potatoes, yes everyone LOVES my sweet potatoes, or possibly baked mac and cheese. I am a good cook and I am confident enough to say that. And what drives my desire to cook? The satisfied exclamations of those around me, eating the food I prepared for them.

What's your musical horoscope?  (Put your player on shuffle and write down the first 10 songs that come up.) 

The Captain - Kasey Chambers
Draw Me Close to You - Lounge Worship
That's How I Knew This Story Would Break My Heart - Aimee Mann
Artibeus - Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard
Not About Love - Fiona Apple
We Are the Champions - Zach Braff
Wild Wild West - Will Smith
Bird on a Wire - Johnny Cash
Slow Night, So Long - Kings of Leon
Set You Free - Black Keys

Hmm... so I guess it plays out like this:

The day begins with a person of authority. One who gives orders and sets the course. It continues on with a drawing nearer to God. It then becomes a time of emotion and ache. Then, and here's where it gets weird, something happens with fruit bats. But the bats have nothing whatsoever to do with my relationships. Even so, I win against the fruit bats. Then things are going to get rather crazy, 'jiggy' if you will. Afterwards, I'll just have to figure out where I belong. Then, it seems, it will be a very long evening and time will creep and crawl. Finally, at the end of the night, I'll be free.

You know, this whole process might work better if I didn't have such a freakishly large music collection. I mean, it's like dropping a needle into a stack of needles.

Although I am curious about the fruit bats...

Which TV show never "jumped the shark"?
Submitted by healthypanda. 

This is a toughy. I would say, and for odd reasons, Carnivale.

Why? It was canceled too abruptly for an opportunity. It was one of the best shows on television until HBO said, "I think it's done a good job telling the story."

What's the current hottest restaurant in your city?  Have you tried it out yet?

What isn't hot here? I mean, literally and metaphorically? It seems like a new restaurant opens about once a week and a new club every day. I would hate to work in that industry in this town. 

You're the DJ: what are the next five songs coming up after the break?

What shows are you looking forward to in the new fall TV season?

Well, as previously stated, Heroes. Then there's The Office, Lost and I am sure I will watch my fair share of the premieres just to see what's cool and what's not.

I am somewhat curious about that new one, Journeyman. Just because I liked the actor in it while he was in Rome.

Do you have a green thumb?

Yes, but I have a broken watch. I don't have the time to make things grow but when I devote the time, things prosper by my hands. I just need a very small plant I can grow beside my computer. I'd still have to set a reminder for watering, though.

What game are you really good at?

Hmm... the original Half-Life. I owned this game and all I played it against. It was fun, creative and interesting. I still contend it had one of the best stories of any game ever produced. In fact, I would venture to say it's worth playing through just to see how it all comes out.

Further, this game spawned mods to it that were later made into standalone games of their own. These other games were just as enjoyable and some more so. For instance, Day of Defeat, Counterstrike, Team Fortress and Special Forces. The game is dirt cheap these days and I would encourage anyone who has never played it to run out and get a copy.
