My dream job is to be a project manager for solar projects in impoverished communities and a movie director on the side/after the project manager position. Then it could be fun to retire after all that and be a teacher. How tall are you? 6’3” Which is more fascinating, depths of the oceans, or deep space? Despite the setting for Crescent of Darkness, I’ll have to go with oceanic depths. Just something about the extreme darkness and mystery on our own planet intrigues me. Would you rather live on the coast, the city, the mountains, or the country? That’s a tough one. All are beautiful, but I’d have to go with coast since that’s where I’ve lived for most of my life. When you get sad what do you do? Try to breath and relax. Pray and remember all the blessings I’ve received in the past. Listen to some lo-fi hip hop and let my mind run in solitude. That usually does the trick. Do you think that one day, cancer will be curable? Absolutely. And I have a feeling that day is very soon. Do you think animals have conversations with each other? I’m nearly certain. Have you ever considered having an afro? I actually have. But alas, too much maintenance is involved. |

What's your Hogwarts house?
I haven’t taken the test but I’m almost positive it’s Hufflepuff.
Who is your favorite Disney character?
Princess = Mulan, Character overall = Dr. Facilier
What kind of pasta would you eat if you had to eat pasta for the rest of your life?
Angel hair. I know it sounds really weird but I’m telling you; that stuff is divine.
Do you feel bad when you kill a bug?
Yes. I tell them I’m sorry before I do it, too.
How would you fit a handcuff on a one-armed man?
If handcuffs are the only option, I’d cuff his wrist to his bicep and be wary of that elbow. But if not, then I’d just tie him up.
Do you have a strong preference when it comes to tissue brands?
I don’t think so, but if I did I wouldn’t say it here because I have a feeling that would get pretty tricky legally.
If you could read minds and could only read 1 person's, who would it be?
My wife’s, whoever she may be. Not that I wouldn’t trust her, I just have a feeling things would go very smoothly if I already knew what she was thinking. Plus, all of my surprises would be super trippy and terrifyingly accurate.
Why is 2+2=4-1=3 considered quick math but not 3+3=6-2=4?
Your numbers have a value displacement of 5 in the first but 8 in the second. 8 is greater in magnitude than 5, therefor deeming the first quick math and the second standard or basic math.
How would you feel if we lived in a universe where everything is the same except the letter "m" was replaced with the letter "g" and vice versa?
I think it wouldn’t be too hard to ganame
