(no subject)
This interview was given to me by Joey. If you want an interview, leave me a response and I will give you five interview questions. Groovy?
1> You are given an extra large kiwi fruit, a hatchet, a bucket of sawdust, hair clippings and a used copy of "The Outsiders" that has every fifth page torn out. You are mandated that you create art with these objects, what do you do?
First and most importantly, I eat the kiwi fruit, because kiwi must be eaten, always. I take a shower, but do not dry myself, and roll in the sawdust and hair clippings. Then, I go to the glass bridge in Tacoma, stand in front of what I call the Wall o'Phallus, i.e. the venetian vase wall, and recite what is left of the outsiders in a loud, irritating, Tyler Roush sort of voice. I continue to recite even as they arrest me.
P.S. This would all be even more fun if they gave me a fatty joint before mandating that I create art.
2> Gimme an embarassing childhood story (you may choose to involve Virginia if you want)...
I may want to include Virginia, but she would never forgive me if I post something contrary to her approval on the internet. SO . . . This is hard, because what I continue to feel ashamed about are things that most people wouldn't consider embarassing. OK No this is really embarassing, but this is middle school: I decided I really wanted to do something for Valentines Day, that didn't involve candy hearts and Scooby Doo valentines, so I wrote an awful poem and had a friend give it to a male friend that I was having mixed feelings of possible attraction for. I tried to keep it all secret, but that evening, his mother called my mother (they were friends) and asked, "Is your daughter in love with my son?"
3> What is your favorite saying in Italian and what does it mean in English?
One: Non mi rompi i coglioni. Translation: Don't break my testicles.
Two: Quando cresce la pancia, cade l'uccellino. Translation: When the belly gets bigger, the little bird falls. This makes no sense until you understand that the little bird is a penis and when a man gets fatter, his little bird stops flying.
4> The earth is gonna blow up, Oh noes! You're in charge of one rocket to escape the planet with and go to a lovely bubble colony on Venus. This spaceship has twenty seats on it. Who do you bring with you to this exotic new world?
Giampaolo
Virginia
Matthew
Mom
Dad
Me
various other friends and family members that would be boring to you to list (10)
Isabella Rosselini (because she's hot! and a great actress and we will need art on our Venesian fantasy land.)
Bjork (because her music will be most appreciated by the native Venesians
Louis de Bernieres (because he's one of my favorite living writers
Salman Rushdie (same reason, plus he can interpret the wierd happenings of Venesian life as he has astral travelled there in meditations, which is the only explanation I have for some his writing.)
5> You are allowed to condem five people to stay on Earth and suffer the fate of the expolosion. After George W. Bush, who are the other four? The two irritating 892 guys who do the commercials for the new info line on TV (unless you've seen it, you can't understand.)
Arnold Schwarzeneger
The current CEO of McDonalds, damn them for ruining local culture!
