many crappy home movies, nothing worthy of the big screen.

All funny though...

do you have a rolodex?

Yes. It's really a rubber band. I just reffer to it as a rolodex. I have this huge stack of business cards, and it's growing. I may have to get another rubber band.

Bow or Crossbow?

Crossbow - I've been a bridesmaid too m any times and been subjected to too many butt bows -- butt bows are really bad... no one shoul dhave to do that - -people who are forced to wear butt bows need to shoot the person doing the forcing wiht a crossbow...

Describe your sense of humor?

Dry, quick-witted, gross, any joke I crack is guarrenteed to make somebody laugh and at the same time, piss somebody off :D

What's a "butt bow" as described by mal

I think it's a decorative addition on the hindquarters of a bridesmaids dress, but I could be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off...



Do you know what an anemometer is used for?

I looked it up to be sure, but found out I had it confused with a Galvanometer. Whoops.

Do you enjoy Birdwatching?

It's used for measuring wind speed, no?

No, I don't like bird watching... I have been a few times but it just didn't do it for me. I do like hiking though.


Do you know what an alethiometer is?

Yes. It's for measuring truth, or for finding your way. Intecritly (sp) beautiful, incredibly complicated and very rare, only a half-dozen in existence.


do you understand the principles of a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS)?

^^ I know what it is too! Can we be Philip Glass nerds together??
Ahem, sorry.

Off the top of my head, no. But if I were to read a breakdown, I feel confident that I would understand it.

Do you secretly or obviously melt at the sight of baby animals?

*puts up the tough guy pose* No ma'am

What do you eat in movie theaters other than popcorn?

If we're feeling rich and hungry, we'll get hot dogs and New-York fries.

If we're feeling truly decedant, we'll buy a pack of peanut M&M's and dump it into the Hot-buttered popcorn. It's so good, I dare you to try it.

What secret would you like to be in on?

I don’t care where the bodies are buried, I just want to know where the gold is buried. There apparently is a pirate treasure in an incredibly complex water device that nobody has figured out yet. It’s clearly man made, dates from the early 1700’s, and acts as a ballast when anybody tries to dig or pump water for the treasure.

What's your favorite food store?

Do you mean the Oak Island treasure? Because I've been hooked by that story since I was a kid. If you find out, let me know ;)

Food Store: St. Lawrence Market in Toronto.

Do you say "Orientate" or "Orient"?

Yeah, that's the one. I couldn't remember the name...

I say configure.

Have you gone on a vacation and the destination turned out to truly suck?

Well, not exactly. We did get a hotel near Disneyland once that looked pretty nice from the pictures, and turned out to the be the Clampett family reunion hotel. Plus, the room reeked of so much cheap deodorizer that we half expected to find a dead body under the bed.

How many countries have you been to?

30: USA, Portugal, Spain, England, Bermuda (overseas territory of the UK), Aruba, San Blas Islands, Panama, Galapagos, Pitcairn Island (overseas territory of the UK), French Polynesia (Marquesas, Tuamotas, Society Islands), Cook Islands (Rarotonga, Palmerston), Samoa, Tonga, Fiji Islands, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Australia, Indonesia (Bali), Seychelles, Tanzania (Zanzibar Island), South Africa, St. Helena (overseas territory of the UK), Barbados, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Lucia, Guadeloupe, Sint Maarten, Antigua, Virgin Islands.

whats your lifetime goal?

My lifetime goal would be to retire very early to a villa in Tuscany and spend the rest of my days doing whatever I want to do.

Oh wait, that's a dream. A goal is somethin you actually work towards. So, um, apparently my lifetime goal is to be just behind the curve of acheivement. It appears to be, anyways.

It's snowing! 10 inches! When was the last time 10 inches made you happy?

Just this morning, in the shower


Who would you choose to go to the Superbowl next year? Broncos, or I-don't-give-a-shit-about-sports.

NY Giants... I don't care who they play - I just want them back....

Ever been to a major sporting event? Super bowl, world series game, etc... How'd ya like it?

indy 500 in may of 1965...my buddy and i drove out there from upstate new york in a TR-3, partied our asses off, and still managed to watch most of the race next to a stationwagon full of coeds from kenyon college (we were in the infield) with a keg of beer in the back of said stationwagon...

were all of your grandparents born in the united states and, if not, what country/sovereignty?

My mother's father use to swear his ancestors threw the rope to the Pilgims when they landed, they've been here so long... My mother's mother was born in County Kerry in Ireland, both my father's parents were born in County Cork... but came here at a very very young age.

Ever trace your family tree?

Yeah, my grandmother has this huge book that has all of the traced family line dating back to few hundred years ago. It's pretty cool actually :) My Dad's side of the family has long roots in Ontario, I think they've always been Canadian since it was coined. My mom's side goes back to Netherland when my grandparents came over to Canada during the second world war.

How'd your country do on the first day in medal matches?

Took a Gold medal, baby!!!!!

Yes, yes I can. I like to ride my bicycle, I love to ride my bike.

Did you get that reference? (Bonus - no google)

Queen, Freddie Mercury, Zanibar's favourite son.

Which do you prefer, Olympic Sports or Professional sports? (This question was inspired by my soon-to-be-ex-wife who said, "you know, for a guy who's never tuned in SportsCenter in his life, you sure do get obsessed by the Olympics!")

Is there really much of a difference? The olympics aren't truly amateurs anymore... It's not like it was when I was younger... The Olympics... are... tired... Professional sports for themost part are tired... (overpaid whiney athletes)

What's it about the olympics that fascinates people? The twinkie costumes ont he skaters?

I havent seen a second of the olympics, so I wouldnt know. The summer games are really the only thing that interests me. Baseball, swimming, diving.... stuff Im actually into.

The snowboarders though... hot, hot, hot.

I bite my nails all the time. Even why I'm not stressing out

Your favorite tv show?

whenever the hell my battery runs low!!

If you could start your life over, what would you do differently?

There are a few things I dont wish to talk about because it involves my total stupidity and the hurt of other people. Oh and the never ending disappointment people feel for me... Im fucking stupid I guess. That I would definitely not do.

I would probably do better in high school, maybe not drink as much....and try to be a little nicer

Tsk, no question!? I'm gonna answer the previous one:

I'll be born with no hearing disability, it'll be hard to imagine how different my life would be if I never had hearing disability. Also, I would do better in high school and university.

What's your favorite mecha franchise?

sorry, on a few hours sleep and in class I was not giving my all to the board.

someone else can answer this question as my punnishment

MACROSS! And Robotech. I played through the game, Robotech: Battlecry, a few times. Great fun. Downloaded Macross Zero. I plan on getting the original Macross and see the changes the made to it when it was hacked and slashed to make the American Robotech series.

Do you practice a martial art? If not, which one interests you?

I did practice Tai Kwon Do. I would be more interested now in something like hatha yoga.

If your family moved alot when you were young, to you ever think about one place you lived and wonder what you would be like if you still lived there?

I have lived in so many places growing up that I never felt like I was home anywhere, so I never got a real chance to think about it like that.


have you ever seen a UFO? Tell me about it!

I saw a UFO once, along with two of my friends - this was back in high school. It was a weekend night, we were sitting in a deserted park getting stoned. Suddenly a huge orange ball of light flashy thing appeared in the sky, zig-zagged back and forth for 3 seconds, then completely vanished. At first I thought, damn I'm high. Then my friend Eric was like, "Did you see that?!!". It was unlike anything any of us had ever seen before. Definitely not an airplane and its movement was so erratic, we all came to the conclusion it was a UFO. :) We still talk about it to this day, actually.

Do you enjoy camping? What is your favorite place to camp?

camping kicks ass.........we have a cabin up in northern BC that we go to a couple of times a year......good place to just get away you know.


do you have a boat?

and if so.....do you waterski?

Ah yes, I do have a boat. It's a 20 year-old, 12foot aluminum car-top special. It travels very nice and SLOW. So, unless you're a squirrley boy, you ain't gonna ski behind it. I do ski, but only behind other peoples more powerful boats, the type I'll never buy.


When and how did you get that god-awful scar?

I put my hand through a window while angryly tring to slam the door in the den in my parent's house... I was twelve and mad at my mom. It kinda looks like a big sperm, actually... it's on my right wrist.

So, tell me, why did you choose the underwear you're wearing right now?

Ummm,... It was the first underwear I pulled out of my drawer.

pee, then make some coffee




what's the last thing you do before turning off the light at night?

check for the seventh time that I did set the alarm

Are you a good driver? Truthfully? What makes you a good driver?

Yes and No. I successfully avoided two colisions by not going into a panic. The first was in Pasedena (yes, that's where they have the Rose Parade). Back in the late 90s, a buddy of mine was playing at a coffee house out there. My DL had just come in the mail that day, and I was off. Never driven in that area before, and I found out the hard way that the city has it's share of one-way streets. I had made a left turn into one. There was no traffic at that moment, so I turned left from the middle lane. A split second later, it was full of cars (they came out of nowhere!). I tryed to get back into the street I was originally on, but there was too much trafic to merge. And there was plenty of on coming trafic. My only option: the left turn lane for oncoming trafic was open. So I drove into it, and crused in the middle lane until I was able to merge back into the street I was on. And no one honked at me.

The second time I cheated death I'll save for another time.

Have you ever heard a song that perfectly captured your mood and temperment at the time you heard it, as if the song was writen just for you? If not, then what your favorite song?

OH absloutely.... and my favorite song... well, God I dunno. I was up late last night crusing through my HUGE book of CD's I've had for ages.... I must say there are some that NEVER get old.... they're mostly silly, silly rap songs tho, Like Missy Elliot's "Get yer Freak On"

What (if any) medications are you currently taking?

Advil liquid caps for a dull headache that i've had for about a week now... I really got to get to the eye doctor... Been too long since my last prescription

When is the last time that you sat down and played a board game. No TV, radio, phone attached to your head...but just sat and played a game with your family?

Um well, it was one of those Scene It DVD (Harry Potter) games, so does that count? It has a board. And we played it ALOT last week, but it did require the use of the TV.

What book are you into right now?

<--- It's right there. Zen in the Martial Arts by Joe Hyams. I take it everywhere. If Luis can have his blanket, then I'm going to have my book. Joe describs spiritual and philosophical lessons he has learn during his study of various martial arts. And also studied under Bruce Lee. And each section ends with a relavent quote. "You and your opponent are one. There is a coexisting relationship between you. You coexist with you opponentand become his complement, absorbing his attack and using his force to overcome him." --Bruce Lee

"To win 100 vicotories in 100 battles is not the highest skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the highest skill." --Sun-Tzu

There's a holiday weekend? That'd be nothing for me- No holiday for me...

What do you think is your best feature?

Physically? My legs. Otherwise? My sense of humour.


How hard did you find school? Why?

Hard because at this point, I'm the only one out of my group of classmates to be having a part time job. The program I'm in is considerably difficult and requires alot of man hour to be put into reading materials, doing homework, project work, etc. So, you can imagine that its hard to try to manage school and part time job every night. Plus, I gotta manage my disability in class, so there's lots of important information I'm missing during the lecture and its even harder in group discussion/project.

What is the one thing you remember most about your college days?

Edit: Hey Mal, there's a holiday on friday which is family day in Alberta :D That means 5 day weekend for me :D:D

The naked people.

Not in the political sense, no. But I am active in supporting my community, I volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and for the local Humane Society because I think everyone should volunteer.

The usual, work, sleep, study and drink.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you...

What are you looking forward to about today?

Well I just woke up to go to my morning class after only three horus of sleep and studying all night long, then I get to miss lunch to study more while also tracking down my voice teacher to tell him I can't sing in the departmental today, take the test that's causing all the studying, then come home and clean up the mess that my roomates have made this apartment into, but...there's a tiny slight chance that Secret might come visit for a few days starting late tonight, so I guess I'm looking forward to that. :crazy:

What's your favorite late night snack?

Big chunks of pepperoni.


What is your favorite kind of weather?

Autumn. Warmish days...cool crisp evenings, with maybe a hint of frost by morning.

When is the last time that you've been to the zoo? What is/was your favorite animal, or attraction, there?

I went to the zoo about a year ago with my nephew. It was awesome - I loved any exhibit that he was excited about - this time, Tigers!
For myself... I really like the butterflies because I get to be in the area with them and see them so close. They're so exotic.

What are you having for lunch today?

I don't know yet. I didn't pack a lunch. I was thinking I might go out for chili or maybe a slice.

4 hours so far. All in this month, I only recently started doing volunteer work :)

Electric blanket or quilt?

Nothing beats a homemade quilt.

Winter wear: Wool or silk?

Silk. I can't stand to be 'bundled up' In fact, I used to wear only ear muffs and gloves while walking from the parking lot to work in -0 weather. People used to think I was crazy but really all you need is to keep the 5 points warm and the rest will be just fine.

Do guns kill people?

nope -- people with guns kill people :lol:

but only when they need killing... :D

What's your favorite breakfast cereal? What's your favorite breakfast cereal when no one is looking? :D

Exactly.

I like all the nutritous cerials. I like to mix and match. Pour a little of this with a little of that add some of this and there you have it. Nuts, grans, fiber galore...that's what I like. Unless there's coco pebbles...Mmmmm coco pebbles - it's been too long!

The perfect date?

Hrm, one where the guy is willing to drop $300 for dinner at some fine dinng establishment

Ireland.

Eating out prior to a Thelonius Monk concert.

I don't think my wife would mind the company, but we're pretty romantic so probably not...

Have you ever had to care for a disabled person? How did you feel about it?

A few times back in middle school. I was hanging out with a friend of mine and we were pushing kids in their wheelchairs around campus. It was odd indeed. I'm not sure that the mentally retarded twins in wheelchairs knew that we were there.

And then there's my friend Jorge who walked with cruches. We're were, like, 12 or 13, and mostly played video games. After a few years, we grew apart. And we had some fun at Disneyland. He brought his wheelchair, and his brother and me got to the front of every line :D

Besides replying to this post, what are you doing right now?

freaking out about weight gain and picking apple pieces out of my teeth.

do you drink soda, pop, juice, water, alcohol, or other as a preference?

Depends on what I am doing. Just home from work? Bring on the alcohol! With dinner? Water or maybe some wine. Breakfast? Coffee or juice.

Throughout the day? Water for the most part. Tap water is fine by the way.

What would you do if you didn't have to make money?

I would be a personal shopper if I still had to work. But if I didn't have to work and I didn't have to have money to spend, I would just travel all over the world. I wouldn't have a house just a passport and be a nomad.

Do you like to camp and if so what is your favorite part of it?
