a friday five? here? there's a first time for everything.

if you. . .

1. . . .owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?

i'd probly open up a lil taco stand, where you can get real tacos, you know like carnitas or fajita or lengua or chicharron or something like that, wrapped up in two corn tortillas with limes and fresh salsa. flour tortillas too, cause they're just good, but no taco would be crunchy, there's no such thing as a crunchy taco.

2. . . .owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell.

books and guns. yes, books and guns.

3. . . .wrote a book, what genre would it be?

dunno really, i've toyed with writing some short stories, but nothing really serious. f. scott fitzgerald said that a writer is a person for whom the task of writing is much more difficult than it is for anyone else, if he's right, i feel like i'm a writer maybe two or three days a week.

hold a gun to my head, i'd probly say a sort of expository book that would blend my affinity for theology and social theory, or if i was talented enough a narrative of a fictional character who encounters that kinda stuff.

4. . . .ran a school, what would you teach?

me and bone have talked about this on several occasions, we would take over the vaunted st. mark's school of texas and turn it into a sort of academy where we would design the curriculum to our tastes and teach various forms of hand to hand combat. we'd get rid of all the sports teams except wrestling.

5. . . .recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it?

i dunno, but if i did an album of celine dion covers, it would the the crappy kind. not even i can salvage what comes out of her mouth.
