If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Why?
Submitted by abcdefg81.
It's not really my "dream address" to be honest. I wouldn't want a dream address. But if I could choose freely, I would live in New York City. Not forever, just for a while. Probably somewhere aroudn Chelsea, or NoHo or SoHo. I would also like to have a house at the coast of Southern France, somewhere around Nice.
I would also like to live in Japan for a couple of weeks or months. Probably not for my lifetime, but I wouldn't make this time exclusive. It's just clear to me that where I'm living now, is not where I want to live any longer. Why I haven't moved away from here yet? Because anywhere where I would like to live, you have to deal with visas and work permits. And you need someone hiring you to make that happen.
New York has always been the coolest city I knew. It changed a bit after 9/11, because the city became more like Disney Land. What I liked most, its roughness and unfinished surface, steady in move and ever changing, is fading away slowly.
If you have ever been on a market in Southern France, ate some of their olives, some cheese with a baguette and drank some french wine while the sun was setting down, you may have an idea of how much it can improve your life. I don't have this sort of relaxing moments here, and I sure have no ocean in front of the door, which I am missing very much.
If you had a band, what would you call yourselves?
Question submitted by Zoot.
I do have a music project and it's called puredish. I have been thinking a lot about band names before that and a few were pretty good. It all depends on the mood or message you want to convey. Sometimes it's not a concrete message but more a type of word that transmits a certain feel.
Trent Reznor said in an interview:
"I don't know if you've ever tried to think of band names, but usually you think you have a great one and you look at it the next day and it's stupid. I had about 200 of those. Nine Inch Nails lasted the two week test, looked great in print, and could be abbreviated easily. It really doesn't have any literal meaning. It seemed kind of frightening. [In his best he-man voice] Tough and manly! It's a curse trying to come up with band names."
