1. What is the best dessert you've ever eaten? Where did you eat it? Asked by: Milagros
It's not really 'dessert', but we treat it like dessert. It's Bob Evans' strawberry-banana crepes.
2. What makes you happy? Asked by: TropicThunder
Hmm... many things. Solitude, books, video games, stress-free time with friends and/or family, work during days in which I'm 'batting a 1000', firing a gun, successfully completing a project that I wanted to complete... a bunch of things.
3. What's holding you back from going after your dreams? What will you do to change that? Asked by: Myth77
Commitments to family, work, and school, as well as a lack of funds. I'm not sure how to change it. There's only so much time to commit, and if I knew the secret to having more income streaming in, I wouldn't have a LOT of roadblocks.
4. If you could have the powers of one superhero, who would you choose and why? Asked by: T.O. Guy
Tony Stark/Iron Man. I'd love to have a battery-powered heart that would last a few hundred years, as well as engineering knowledge, a flying suit, and a huge mansion/workshop. He's a much better billionaire than Batman, and has a better attitude.
5. What do you believe is a talent you were naturally born to do? Asked by: Aimee
Adaptation. It seems many people are conditioned to stubbornly try to manipulate their environment to their purposes, unable to function and making excuses when it doesn't work. I find ways to make it happen, changing myself if necessary.
6. Have you ever done or do you do any type of drugs? Asked by: Gothika
I smoked pot once in high school, and found it highly overrated. I also tried Zoloft, once, when a friend/coworker told me to try some of his when I was having a lousy day. It made my insides feel like a vibrating tuning fork all day. It was the most unusual combination of being constantly nervous while not giving a shit about anything. Never again.
7. Which do you find makes you smile more: Clowns or Hobos? Asked by: SnailShell
I don't have that 'fear of clowns' that some people have. In the right context, I think clowns are fucking hilarious. Hobos on the other hand, I see plenty of at work. They steal random things from my customers, they smell horrendous--especially in this summer heat, and they always have to make those, smiling, toothless jokes about me giving them what I've got in my bag. They get forced 'courtesy smiles' from me, or I ignore them--except for one guy we call 'Crusty', who hangs out on 4th street. He's always nice. Sometimes some of our guys'll give him cigarettes so he doesn't have to look for stubbies laying on the ground.
8. Would you rather have to watch reruns of "Maude" or eat a raw cow's tongue? Asked by: Persephone
The only thing I know about Maude was from a Family Guy cut-scene, but I'm certain that I'd rather watch that than try to eat ANY kind of uncooked tongue.
9. What is your favorite smell/scent and what memory does it evoke? Asked by: Gisgone
Coconut suntan lotion. It makes me think of when I was younger, and spent a lot of time at the pool during the summer break. This was back when summer was something fun, and not dreadful, humid, life-draining heat that I had to work in.
10. Describe what a "relaxing evening before bed" to you is. Asked by: Big_Dogg85
Stress-free time on the couch with family, where I don't have homework hanging over my head, or a uniform I have to press, and we can sit and enjoy some television or a movie, where I'm awake enough to view it the whole way through, and I don't have to worry about waking up butt-crack early for work the next day.
11. If you had ten thousand dollars and had to give it to charity, how would you distribute it? Asked by: Sasaxrah
I'd give it to Crusty, just to see what he'd do with it. I'm extremely curious about a homeless person's 'investment strategies'.
12. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Asked by: Thetmfobserver
40 years old, hopefully still working at the same company, or something equally/more fun and better-paying. My son will be 13 years old, into God-knows-what sort of gadgetry and pop music. He'll hopefully be a great student, like his daddy. I don't know what else.
13. If you knew this was going to be your last night, what is one thing you wish you had the balls to say/ do to someone close to you (no names)? Asked by: Saeria
I have
no freaking idea.
14. Would you like your kids to follow your footsteps? Asked by: Bohemianne
On some paths, but not others. I'd like him to have my dedication to working hard at work and school, and I'd like him to get his mom's bold personality. It'd make him a deadly combination for some leadership/management positions.
15. Where would you like to be right now? Asked by: Filthyweasel
Florida. I'm not sure how much longer I'm gonna have to go before it no longer really matters.
16. If you had to be reincarnated as an animal, what animal would you pick and why? Asked by: Asutickler
A lion. Lions are bad-ass.
^Seriously, look at that! He's just OOZING bad-assery!
17. Tell me something positive about yourself. Asked by: Wildtime
Ugh... I gotta
sell myself? Fine... I'm... very polite, annnnd... I give great oral?
