1. Do you have a favorite piece of poetry or prose written by someone else? Care to share it?
Hmmm....that's tough one. Too many classic ones that I enjoy, but I really like this one cause it makes me laugh....and is SO true:
Friend,
When you are sad, ...I will help you plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.
When you are blue, ...I'll try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
When you smile, ...I'll know you finally got laid.
When you are scared, ...I will rag you about it every chance I get.
When you are worried, ...I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to quit whining.
When you are confused, ...I will use little words to explain it to your dumb ass.
When you are sick, ...stay away from me until you're well again. I don't want whatever you have.
When you fall, ...I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.
This is my oath, ...I pledge 'til the end. Why you may ask? Because you're my friend!
2. In High School, did you enjoy creative writing? Do you currently do any other writing in addition to your Blog?
Yeah, whenever we got the chance to do it. I was always thinking up crazy characters, ideas and situations to write about. I do. I write in my physical journal, I write poetry when the feeling moves me to, and I am writing a book.
3. Have you ever noticed that the Blog entries you least expect to get the most comments do, and those you expect to generate a lot of feedback don't? Which Blog entry of yours surprised you by getting a lot of comments? Which one did you think would generate a lot but didn't?
I;m still waiting for all the poor bastards (and I mean that lovingly) who DO read my blog to get into the habit of posting something.
4. Sometimes you get a chance to make a lifestyle change that has a huge impact on the course your life takes. That is, a moment where something became very clear to you, and that realization changed your life, such as: the need to leave a relationship, to stop an addiction, to bond with someone, to start a new career, and so on. Have you ever had an "awakening" moment in your life?
God yes. Two REALLY big ones when I decided to "bond with someone" and take my friendships to a deeper level. Although one did not end harmoniously, I did learn a lot from it and have never regretted my time with the person. The other is more recent and I am still enjoying it and having fun exploring all the levels of it. I like the mystery, the quest, and the honesty of all of it. It;s great to be connected on such a close levekl with someone and it;s also great when you learn something new everyday. Kind of like keeping it fresh and clean. I have yet to feel bored with it, nor do I think I could ever regret my decision to let things happen. The best things happen out of the oddest circumstances sometimes.
5. Then there are other times where you can have a huge impact on someone else's life. You suggest they see a doctor, stop them from taking that last drink, or maybe just say some kind words at the moment. Have you made a lasting positive impact on the life of someone else?
I would like to think so, and I have been told so. I have always lived my life in the pursuit of two things: 1) Making people laugh (usually to the point when body fluids come out) 2) And helping them in any way I can--which sometimes leaves a positive impact or brings about some change. I don;t consciously seek out people like psyche cases, but when the opportunities come up, I let them happen naturally. I would like to think I have some kind of impact on people that I meet because i know that many certainly have had impact on me (whether positive or negative). I have only had a handful of people tell me so, so I am not entirely sure. But if I were to only imapct one person in my entire life, then I know that I will not haved lived and died in vain. That something I did helped someone out.
6. Are there any charities or organizations which you support? How did you come to be involved with them?
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS> I got very interested in AIDS when I wrote a report on it in the 7th grade. I became totally involve dint he cause when a good friend of mine died from AIDS when I was 17. It was extremely devastating to me and made me realize that I had to do something more.
7. Care to collaborate with me? Help me out and write the rest of this poem:
I drifted through a dream last night,
visions full of colors bright.
My thoughts began to drift to you,
and in an instant we were two.
I touched your hand,
We began to blend,
Filled with a feeling
that should have no end.
And in this terpsichorean dream I found
A love so strong from a heart unbound.
And as I awoke I shed a tear
For I knew you were neither real nor near.
BONUS: Hey cutie, what's up with this attitude?
Check yourself, bitch. I ain;t got the attitude.
