Alright, I'm sick.
151. What is louder and more annoying: 200 adults talking or one four-year-old screaming?
One four-year old screaming, hands down.
152. Do you believe the stories about planes, boats and people mysteriously disappearing into the Bermuda triangle?
I haven't really done enough research. I just know the legends, but legends aren't things on which to base an opinion .. So, I don't really know.
153. Who are you the most jealous of?
I try not to be jealous of people.
154. What is the happiest way you can start your day?
Singing.
155. Do you ever have moments where you feel like everything is all right in the world?
I always get that feeling when I'm in New York around Christmas, and it starts snowing. Or any time it snows. It just gets quiet and it feels like maybe, for one split second, things are peaceful in the world.
156. Who thinks that you are offensive?
A lot of people, I'm sure ... I'm pretty blunt about things, and I have a dirty sense of humor. And a bit of a sailor's mouth.
157. If you had to teach a class in something, what would you be able to teach people?
Considering I was a teacher .. I taught English.
158. Have you ever had a spiritual experience (an experience that cannot be explained by science)?
Not personally, no.
159. Do you believe that this experience was truly mystical or do you think there is some scientific explanation for it, only you don't know what it is?
N/A.
160. Do you get offended easily?
No .. Well, it depends. Regarding crude statements about sex or drugs or whatever, definitely not. If it's something blatantly sexist or homophobic or something, I tend to get offended more easily.
161. Would you still love and stay with your signifigant other if he or she had to have a breast or testicle removed?
Of course. What would that even matter?
162. Do you believe in fate or free will?
Free will. I think Fate is an excuse people make up to make themselves feel better about that which they can't control, or if something doesn't go their way. I don't believe in it. I think we make our own choices and these influence the future. I don't think it's pre-determined.
163. Do you believe that only boring people get bored?
No.
164. Can life change or are we all stuck in vain?
Life can change in the blink of an eye.

169. What's the coolest job you ever had?
Right now, on my way to rock star-dom.
170. What is one central idea that your thoughts seem to come back to?
That we're in this alone, whether we want to admit it or not.
171. Have you ever wanted to be an actor/tress?
I entertained the idea when I was a kid, watching the Oscars. But that faded quickly when I found music.
172. If you had the power to control one person and make this person do anything you wanted for a whole day, who would you pick and what would they do?
I wouldn't want to do that. Unless it was myself, then I would make me get my shit in order.
173. What star sign are you and what is your sign like?
Gemini. Gemini is represented by the twins, which doesn't always mean two-faced, but that we're a little bit of everything. We don't like routine, we like to multi-task, as though there were two of us. We love talking, we love people, we're extroverted. We're quick movers with short attention spans. We're independent and value that kind of thing in other people. We seek out people who are like us. We're flighty. We're represented by Mercury, who was the messenger of the gods with wings on his feet .. I think that gives a good visual. Oh, we also rule the vocal chords, so we like talking and singing and things that are musical or give us a chance to tap into that. I obviously .. read a lot about the Zodiac.
174. Did the Blair Witch Project scare you?
No.

Six years old, my mother's.
180. What do you smell like (lotion, cologne, sweat)?
I smell like Dolce & Gabbana, Pour Homme.
181. What are your greatest sources for wisdom?
My past and my family and my friends.
182. When you were little, where did your parents tell you babies come from?
My dad told me where they came from -- not "a woman's vagina!" or anything, but .. he said that it came from inside a woman.
183. What is your favorite band?
The Beatles.
184. What's the best cheesy 80's song?
Good God, how do you pick? I'm a huge fan of The Humpty Dance, but it's .. I don't think it's really considered a cheesy 80's song by most standards.
185. What's the best kind of movie to see on a date?
One that you both agree upon.
186. Do you like to sit in the front, middle or back of the Movie Theater?

190. Do you think the Lord of the Rings movies are true to the books or did Hollywood change the story too much?
I think the LOTR movies are as true to the books as Peter Jackson could make them. I mean, they were each three hours long (three and a half in the extended edition) .. How much more could the guy have put in? I think Jackson did a phenomenal job of putting as much as he can into each of them, with so much respect for the story and the morals and the messages. I think they were all wonderfully done and I'm very excited about The Hobbit. 2012!!
191. When you see a stranger on the street does your first reaction lean towards thinking of this person as a potential friend or as a potential threat?
It depends on the person and where I am. Usually, I don't think about it either way.
192. Is it natural for human beings to fear and distrust each other, or is it cultural?
I think it's a cultural thing. I know there are plenty of indigenous tribes that are more than trusting of one another because they rely upon one another for everything. If the culture promotes independence from those around us, then it's going to turn into distrust. It doesn't take a whole lot of propaganda to sway people to fear and hatred. Like Yoda said, "fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hatred leads to the Dark Side."
193. What do you really want to buy?
A car. A Tesla, more specifically. And a motorcycle of some kind.
194. You have to choose. Would you be happier marrying someone rich for their money or living in the streets and subway tunnels with someone you love?
Streets with someone I love.

The Lord of the Rings. Haha, just kidding. I have no idea.
196. Do you think it’s odd that Americans have freedom of religion and yet call themselves 'one nation under God'?
Yes. The addition of the "one nation under God" didn't get added until the Cold War, as a slap to the Communists' faces. So, it's not even an original sentiment from the Founding Fathers, since they left to ESCAPE religious persecution.
197. In what sense are you a minority?
.. Shit. I'm not really. I'm a white male ..
198. Are you anti social?
Not really, no. Unless I've got reason to be.
199. Do you photograph well?
More or less.
200. Do you think that human beings would survivor through a nuclear winter?
Ha, are you kidding me? No way in hell.
One four-year old screaming, hands down.
152. Do you believe the stories about planes, boats and people mysteriously disappearing into the Bermuda triangle?
