I’m far less intense in my belief, allowing more room for nuance. The biggest change is seeing the value in a dialectical competition of ideas that would benefit from all political parties being at their most competent and making their most sound arguments. Unfortunately, both political parties where I live are – each in its own way — complete and utter shit.

PROMPT: Perfect Space
Quiet, simple, and in other ways not distracting.
PROMPT: Favorite Automobile
I may be getting older, but I’m not old enough to concede to an “all-time” anything.
PROMPT: Creative
The answer depends upon stress.
If it’s, “How are YOU creative?” then I think the question is a little insulting and I wouldn’t dignify it with a response.
If: “How are you CREATIVE?” (then it’s missing a comma before the last word, but) I’ll just say, “Very well, thanks for asking.”
If: “How ARE you creative?” Then I’ll assume it’s as opposed to how I was creative in the past, and would reply, “Better, thanks for asking.”
If: “HOW are you creative?” The answer is, of course, “practice!”
PROMPT: Year You Were Born
I’m told Nixon was in the White House and the Beatles broke up, but I don’t really know anything about it. (If you want to get epistemological about it.)
PROMPT: Judge of Character
While I might flatter myself that I can recognize an asshole when I see one, the truth is that stealth assholes are real.
PROMPT: Most Happy
In moments of recognition of the world’s absurdity that suggest that any response other than amusement or bemusement is purely a waste of mental energy.
PROMPT: Play or Fun
Did a little dance… and so on.
PROMPT: Grocery Store Items
1.) carrots; 2.) bread; 3.) peppers; 4.) onions; 5.) rice
Don’t know whether this is supposed to be by weight, value, volume, or frequency of purchase. Each would yield a different response.
PROMPT: A Year Ago
Definitely not. There are – literally – robots on the streets where I am today. There were cows on the streets where I was a year ago.
I don’t find picturing the future to be a productive endeavor. A year from now the robot wave will have hit Bangalore and cattle in the streets may be a fixture of Atlanta (because raising one’s own cow will be the only way to afford beef.) [Not to mention, there’s a significant chance that I’ll be in neither of those places.]
