: 1> Bill and Ted 's Most Excellent adventure? Did you see it? Did you like it?
Yes and yes.
: 2> Do you see any correlation between no1 and J&SBSB? How?
They were both funny romps taken by stoner kids for the amusement of stoners and non-stoners alike.

Astronaut. hell yeah. I still do, want to get the hell off this planet for a while.

Her leash is too long.
: 5> I've seen people hit people for smoking cigarettes in public! What's the most stunning act of aggression you've ever seen?
Well, I was sitting in Denny's with my older brother once. I'm a big guy, but he's bigger. He was a US infantry soldier, and he knows how to fight. So, we're sitting there with a few friends playing UNO, and one of our Mom's work associates, Angel. It's about 1:15, and some of the drunks are stumbling in. One of Angel's ex-boyfriends comes in, and starts hassling her. After a minute or so, my brother asks this drunk ass to leave (this dude's fat, too, like 300 lbs, so he thinks he's tough). Well, the guy doesn't leave. Tell's my brother to make him. My brother asks him again, nicely. The fat drunk asshole came around to the booth we were sitting in and takes three swings at my brother. The last one barely catches his lower lip (my brother's a fast guy). So my brother gets up, shoves this asshole backwards a good three feet (no easy task, he's really fat), and places one well-aimed fist into his nose. The fat dude threw his hands over his face, and when the blood quit squirting, you could see the bone, like his nose had been filayed open. It took 15 people to seperate the two, and then the drunk guy was forced out the door. Some blood got on the Uno cards, but we washed them out.
: 6. Thai food or mexican..which do you choose? Why?
Mexican. I prefer it.
: 7. Televison and cars. Best or worst inventions ever?
It's all about how they are used. A television could be such a great educational tool, but instead it's Sponge Bob, then car chases on the news, film at eleven. The only good television channels are TLC, the Discovery Channel, PBS, History, etc. The rest may be entertaining, but lacks any real value whatsoever. Automobiles give people a supreme freedom- to move about freely, over an entire continent. However, most people use them to go to the gas station on the corner, a block away. And when people do move about, they are so confined by the road system, the traffic laws, the signs and limits, that they no longer think independently. For a specific example, take turn arrows. If turn arrows are present on traffic lights, they signify when you have right-of-way to make a left turn (most of the time, in the US, they are used for left turns). I think it's a great idea, to garuntee a break in traffic so you can make a turn during rush hour. But when people follow them blindly, it's irritating. If you can look down the road and see that no cars are coming, why take direction from a light-bulb behind a piece of colored plastic? People get it into their heads that they aren't smart enough to decide for themselves wether it's safe to turn. If there is no one in the area to yeil right-of-way to, it's yours. I despise sitting behind someone in an intersection, at midnight, when no traffic is on the road whatsoever, and waiting for a stupid lightbulb behind a red piece of plastic to go off, and another one behind a green piece of plastic come on. Fucking think independently, people.
: 8. Poetry.. Lovely or a waste of your time?
Mostly a waste of my time, because I don't understand it. But it's the same with impressionism. "Look at the deeper meaning, see what the author was trying to say...The flowers represent telephones, and how the subject's garden dies is a representation of the end of a communication medium as people turn to e-mail and anonymity..." whatever. Why can't a rose be a rose? Or a dead cat be a dead cat? Why is the author always considered to have theese real deep motivations, some moving social commentary, or some religious belief that is manifest in how the words are arranged, or the semi-colons placed, or the brush stroked? I write a lot, and I'd love to hear someone looking for my 'deeper meaning'. I write for me, wheat I like to read, and I draw what I like to draw. I'm not trying to tell people somehting profound. Or rather, not like so-called art critics like to believe. I'm sure most artists, writers, and the like are the same way.
: 9> Do you consider yourself ORDINARY?
Not in the least. None of my friends consider me ordinary, and I trust them. Plus, ordinary id boring. It's a pithy 100 IQ, an irritating job, credit-card debt. It's cable TV and episodes of Friends. It's a Budweiser or Coors six-pack in the fridge, and a dog named Spot. Ordinary sucks.
: 10>What's the most important thing you shall do TOday?
Cleaning my old place, so as to get my deposit back.
: Thank you! have a great one! Remember..never eat anything bigger than your head!
