What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about education in all types and forms, because
ignorance is the plague of modern times.
What is one goal you’d like to accomplish during your lifetime?
The one goal that I would like to accomplish in my lifetime would be to be able to change a societal norm for the better. This can range
from something small such as increased exercise habits to a huge change such as getting rid of fast food.
If I could be anybody besides myself, I would be…
Ellen Degeneres. No question about it. She’s the kind of person that everyone would be proud to know. She’s witty, fresh, spunky,
comfortable to be around, and just plain good fun. She is also true to herself and rarely allows the people around her to influence her to do
or become something that she’s not. I love the way she dances.. pardon me while I… *dance*
What do you think the secret to a good life is?
The secret to a good life is not really a secret. You can listen or read the interviews and memoirs of successful people and they all
generally say the same thing: “keep it simple.” Something that people don’t realize in the United States is that when someone has more than they need, they are taking something away from someone else in the world. There is no reason to complicate your life with a job that you
hate that pays excessive amounts of money, drama, or live up to other people’s expectations. Live your life knowing and focused on what the most important physical and emotional needs are and you will be happy.
What are three good traits your ideal girlfriend should have?
The first trait that she should have is that she should be able to understand completely what my answer to the “What do you think the
secret to a good life is?” question. This basically means she has to be down to earth and not technology obsessed/dependent or
materialistic. The second trait is that she should be completely comfortable with who she is as a human being so that she can channel her energies elsewhere in her life instead of her physical or emotional appearance. Natural beauty is the only way for me. The third trait is
that she should be able to stand her ground when she needs to. This means she needs to be outspoken, able to take criticism without
grudges, and have some kind of passion in life.
What do people like best about you? Why?
I think the way I make myself approachable. I believe I make a good first impression. I like to tell original jokes that help break the
ice (ones that allow you to laugh at me or with me, either way it’s all good) and the topics that I bring up are pretty fun to talk about.
Ask me for a joke if you ever get to meet me 
If you could visit one place in the world, where would you choose to go and why?
I don’t travel to much, but if I could visit one place in the world, it would be New Zealand. There is something about it that calls to me
like the stench of feces to a fly (me being the fly). Maybe it is because of its beautiful landscape. Maybe it’s because people seem so down to earth there. Or… Maybe that’s where they filmed Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Expecto Patronum!
If you had a time machine that could take you back in time, what year would you go to and why?
If I could go back in time, it would be some year in the 1960s while the Beatles were still touring. I would have loved to see them live.
Their music is just so timeless. Hey Jude is one of my favorites.
If someone made a movie of your life would it be a drama, a comedy, a romantic-comedy, action film, or science fiction?
It would definitely be a romantic comedy. I could totally see my life that runs along the lines of the movie “The American President” with
Michael Douglas and Annete Bening. I see myself as Michael Douglas’ character. In the movie, Douglas makes a decision to date a feisty opponent of his administration that could jeopardize his re-election, but he does so anyway on the reason that it would make him happy. I’ve also always felt that I had that inner romantic inside of me because I know it comes out from time to time (if you ever get the chance to
talk to me, feel free to ask me for a story.) I also think of myself as a witty and funny guy which is where the comedy comes in. Some
people might call me “lame,” but it’s OK, I’m comfortable with my sense of humor. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie. Then talk to me about it.
What do you like to do most with a free hour? Why?
To be truthful, if i only had an hour before I had to attend to a commitment, I would probably watch half a movie, write some posts on a friend’s wall or status on FaceBook, or play a game of DotA (non-em of course). I do these things simply because I enjoy them and to relax. It’s my “me” time and everyone should have some “me” time in a day.
Do you have any phobias?
Most of the phobias that I have ever had has been personally addressed to. A phobia that hasn’t been completely done away with would be my phobia of heights. It’s not a HUGE phobia, it’s just that I am scared of heights. Something I have done to help curb this phobia was when I
was determined to climb to the top of Half Dome at Yosemite National Parks. If you google image “half dome cables,” you’ll be able to see the extreme nature of how vertically high Half Dome really is. Knowing that I was able to reach the top is definitely a huge step in reducing my phobia of heights. A reason why I don’t have too many phobias is that I always try to grow as a person by doing and experiencing things that I would not normally do or experience. If there is something that I’m afraid of or uncomfortable with, I try my best to understand it by exposing myself to the phobia.
What thought or message would you want to put in a fortune cookie?
You are always in complete control of your emotions, so if you chose
to be happy, you will be happy.
