Well said, sir!

I hate 'TV' for 'television'.

What music do you enjoy now that you didn't in your youth?

I didn't much care for rap or hip hop. I've started lean in to now and enjoy artists who don't talk about hoes, how fun it is to degrade women and how rich they are.

What was your life like two years ago?

It's changed a lot. Two years ago I was still homeless but I was also still an active alcoholic and drug addict. I've since then stopped using substances, became a Jain, and published a novel. I'm also almost finished writing my first non-fiction book so I'm excited about that.

Same question.

Once upon a time I would've said gymnastics. Once upon a time I also would've said piano. I'd like to become a better writer, though.

Do you like clowns?

I don't mind it, actually. Most pain I can handle. The only unbearable pain I've had in my life was when I was getting topical anaesthesia for a circumcision when I was 31 and when I was getting topical anaesthesia for a deep teeth cleaning by dental students at the Univ of Washington last year.

What's the worst pain you've ever felt?

What do you think will happen in the next 500-100yrs if civilization does not destroy itself?

Absolutes will become even more gray.

Tell us a time you thought you were in the right and discovered it wasn't true.

I hope this counts. I used to drive a taxi and one of my fares, a woman, intrigued me. I thought perhaps I could "straighten" out myself by dating her. I bought her flowers and, eventually, did start dating her. For 1 1/2 years we lived together, I tried to have sex with her. Nothing happened. I failed. I'm as gay as the sky is blue. I'm just not into face huggers.

Same question.

Well, there was once someone whom I had known when in high school and deep down inside always thought that said person was going to head into a bad scenario in years to come, though I did not know her on a personal level never less that is what I was sensing at the time. In many ways such did come to pass wherein, Jenny here name is wound up not only dating someone was bad news but, married this same individual. This would seem like a missed opportunity however, it wound it worse in that the person she married had a bad drug habit where she wound up paying for his drug addiction(pauses) becoming a prostitute.

Honestly I wished I could have somehow intervened to prevent this unpleasant reality yet, in Jenny's eyes I was just the eccentric, platonic individual whom would be nothing more.

Are there any people in your life whom you sincerely miss?

My friend who graduated last year.
We used to have lockers together, and we talked everyday.

I still talk to him, but it's not the same.
I don't have anything to talk about. I know he does-- he's a cool dude who knows a lot of interesting things-- but I don't know what to ask him. I've asked about what's going on, but it seems like nothing much is new.

What's the scariest thing you've ever had to do?

This is not easy to say but, having to attend various funerals of my family members.

Are there things which you have buried far deep in your subconscious?

Interesting question only because if there something buried really deeply in my subconscious I wouldn't know it and therefore couldn't recall it. Are there events in my past that upset me till today? Sure. I've been verbally, sexually and physically abused.

Same question.

Oopsie. I shower once a month, more if I've been sweating.

How long is this ISIS business going to last?
