Due to the changes in media throughout the new year, it was time for an interview with me, the original alternative broadcasting talk show host, otherwise known as "The Bard of Broadcasting".
 
Not trusting any journalist, I decided to interview myself so that nothing was lost in translation.
 
ME: You have tackled many new subjects in this field of digital dreams since the new millennium began.
 
BARD: Yes. And I told you not to ask questions that can be answered simply by using a yes or no.
 
ME: Sorry. Let me rephrase the question.
 
BARD: No, just change it.
 
ME: Rephrasing is a change.
 
BARD: Sure, and a house is not a home if there's no one there to turn the key.
 
ME: Whatever. How about this question: When you prepare for a show, do you make copious notes?
 
BARD: That is a yes-or-no question, too. Get with it.
 
ME: My bad?
 
BARD: Yes, now ask something fertile.
 
ME: Is that the correct word to describe a good question?
 
BARD: I am The Bard, so of course the answer is yes and that is another yes-or-no question.
 
ME: My bad?
 
BARD: Let me give you a question to ask.
 
ME: All right.
 
BARD: Considering the mode of your intelligence and how you interpret the world around you, certainly including your wide range of conceptual vision and strong sense of boundaries between reality and fiction, describe how you critically think yourself through a moment's thought.
 
ME: Ok, but I only heard it once.
 
BARD: Ask me.
 
ME: Considering the mode of your intelligence and how you interpret the world around you, certainly including your wide range of conceptual vision and strong sense of boundaries between reality and fiction, describe how you critically think yourself through a moment's thought.
 
BARD: That was excellent.
 
ME: Thanks, now answer the question.
 
BARD: No.
