Inside the Blogger's Studio

I asked the hilarious and rant-prone Yournamehere to interview me. I will answer the questions shortly, but first, I am contractually obligated to explain the rules to this inquisitive round-robin.

Here are the instructions:

1. If you want to participate, leave a comment below saying "Interview me." "Blow me" or "Eat me" are not acceptable substitutes.
2. I will respond by asking you five questions - each person's will be different. I'll post the questions in the comments section of this post.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.


1. Besides the people you hang out with, what was your favorite part of your recent trip to my hometown, Louisville, KY? The Chocolate Long John donuts from Nord's.

2. Would you rather have all of your poetry published in the world's most prestigious literary journal or be allowed to read a poem on "Late Show with David Letterman"? Explain. Definitely being published in the world's most prestigious literary journal. Like many poets, my ego is colossal. Prestige would more than make up for the fact that I will never make dime one from my poetry. Besides, as much as I love David Letterman's caustic and irreverent humor, reading a poem on his show would leave me wide open to his rapier wit. And that would probably hurt my feelings.

3. What is your favorite thing about living in NYC? No car needed.

4. What is your least favorite? The noise.

5. If you were forced to go back in time and spend one day as an infamous historical villain, who would it be and why? If Caligula counts, then him; the man knew how to throw an orgy. If he's not technically a villain, then I'd go with Jack the Ripper. Always liked the name Jack, plus he had a medical degree (or so it is supposed).
