Q: What's your favorite tv show, ever? -- annamelon
A: Well, annamelon...this one is tough. The first shows that pop into my mind would be the T-NBC (the T is for teen?) shows I grew up with on Saturday mornings like Saved by the Bell, California Dreams, and Hang Time. I would give Saved by the Bell the advantage because it was the original and just had the perfect 6-person cast highlighted by every guy's childhood crush Kelly Kapowski.
Now for some other of my fave tv shows...
Favorite cartoon: 90's Spiderman cartoon on Fox.
Favorite sporty show: anything WWF
Favorite show since Y2K: Now this may be surprising, but I will not say Glee. Glee fizzled out way too quickly and I'm still trying to figure out whether it jumped the shark yet or not. So...I'm gonna go with Veronica Mars. Surprised? Well, you shouldn't be. After watching a few episodes, I was hooked. And after watching all 3 seasons, I kept on wondering why they didn't get another season. The writing is really witty yet charming. Plus, Kristen Bell is prob my fave actress. If you haven't seen VMars yet, I'd really recommend it. All the episodes are free at http://www.thewb.com/shows/veronica-mars. And yes...my name is Cassidy!!!!Q: Dear Miller, if I continue to dominate the NBA Playoffs by defeating the vaunted Miami Heat, will I finally shed the label of being just another "soft" European player? -- Dirk (Dallas, TX)
A: Guten Tag, Dirk. Even if you don't beat the Heat, I think you will shed your "soft" label. I think we should usher in an era in which we recognize how HARD Dirk is. A lot of things about Dirk are incredibly hard...three things come to mind...
1) It's HARD to guard Dirk Nowitzki. How do you stop a 7-footer who shoots off-balance jump shots like they are layups? You CAN'T (....unless you're an 8-footer who blocks off-balance jump shots like they are layups, of course).
2) It's HARD to find a player with a more hilarious method of relaxing while shooting high-pressure free throws. In the 2006 Playoffs, it was revealed that Dirk's secret to free throws was humming a David Hasselhoff song "Looking For Freedom." I wonder if he was humming it last week when he broke the record for most consecutive made free throws without a miss in a playoff game. I hope the 'Hoff gets an footnote in the record books.3) It's HARD to get involved in a scandal in which your pregnant fiancee is arrested for actually stealing your money while posing as her 8th fake identity. If you're a legalist calculating at home, that's a case of premarital sex, theft, and fraud all wrapped up into one. Of course, when this story was reported two years ago...most people focused on how they found her to be really unattractive. Way to really focus on the important stuff, people.
BTW, I'm picking the Mavs to beat the heat in 5 games.
Q: Where am I? -- Matt Hill (Washington, DC)
A: Wow, Matt. For a campus minister, you had quite the week in the media spotlight. Just a few days ago, I read about how the search for you was intensifying because no one had seen you since Tuesday morning. There was said to be a 99% chance that foul play was involved and people were frantically in search of kidnappers. People opened up a facebook site to collect information of your last known whereabouts and your famous Red Sox pitcher friend Daniel Bard got the word out about your disappearance onto ESPN.com and the Boston Globe website.I used to have a rule: whenever someone disappears without saying anything, they're pooping. Well, thanks to Matt Hill, let me amend that: whenever someone disappears without saying anything, they're EITHER pooping OR hiking in the Appalachians while everyone else thinks they've been kidnapped.
Q: How do u escape the friendzone? -- longtime resident of the friendzone
A: This is a brutally difficult question to answer as it probably varies a lot from person to person on how to escape their friendzone. I would simply recommend starting by asking yourself "why can't they see me as more than just a friend?" Surely, it's not because you're such a good friend that they don't want to promote you further. Perhaps, it's as simple as them being interested in someone else and thus not seeing your potential to be more than just a friend. Or, it could be as puzzling as...they just can't see how you'd be good for them.
So, ask yourself "why can't they see me as more than friends?" Then, if it's an issue of timing (ie them liking someone else at the moment, or not being ready for a relationship), don't sweat it and move on because you can't really do much to change it. If it's a matter of you being the wrong person, then maybe you should figure out what's missing. Maybe they just haven't seen the real you and you should try to seize and opportunity to show that. OR maybe they do see the real you and you need to grow in some areas of your life first.
Remember, right person at the wrong time is still the wrong person.
