Friday Five LVII: If Only, If Only
If you…
1. …owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?
I would probably have an a nice Italian place that served stakes as well. Every night I would have a piece of Tiramisu. I guess I would probably just become part of the Pasta House franchise. AND, I would give all my blogging friends a discount. Yeah, you heard me, a discount.
2. …owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell?
Computers. Macs and Intel/AMD machines. That, or a book store. It would have a coffee bar in it, with large comfy chairs to sit in. Classical music would play in the background (Jazz music would be prohibited). There would be dark green, mauves and cherry maple wood everywhere. Of course there would be a very large DVD and children’s books sections. I guess I would just open a mini Barnes and Noble. AND, I would give all my blogging friends a discount. Yeah, you heard me, a discount.
3. …wrote a book, what genre would it be?
I would invent a new genre: Education Thriller. Hmmm, that has possibilities. The protagonist would have to teach a curriculum to different level students, on a schedule, all the while dodging bullets and trying to figure out who killed the Superintendent of Curriculum. Of course it would be an international thriller so all of the kids would have to have their passports…
4. …ran a school, what would you teach?
I would be too busy running the school to be able to teach. That is two different jobs.
5. …recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it?
Praise and Worship and hymns.
What would you do? Fill the comments with your ideals.
Class dismissed!

Mmmm, well if you are opening an Italian place, I will open a nice steak place next door. You can come to my place to eat and I will come to yours.
And then we could go down to your computer store and play with the latest mac equipment. I like that idea. Nothing like a night of good food and Mac fun…

1. Food I’d like to eat myself, probably there would only be cross-cooking dishes on the menu.
2. Hmm… this is a difficult one. Never thought about owning a store before. Books, maybe. Or tools, perhaps a hardware store.
3. I don’t think I’d be able to focus for as long as it takes to write a proper book, so I’d have to go for a children’s book, I think
4. Probably the same subjects most schools teach, but I’d focus on having small classes (no more than 15 pupils, or so) and teachers capable of varied sorts of teaching methods, so that (for example) kids who “learn” easier visually or by hands-on practice would have as good chances as those who are very theoretical. (I lack the proper vocabulary in this field, but I hope you understand what I mean.)
5. Umm… All sorts of music, I think, covering classic arias to rnb/soul/hip-hop-ish music and 19th century hymns. And probably some jazz and blues along the way
