I’ve never had one my self-esteem couldn’t handle.
2. What is your favorite word?
Bananas /bəˈnanəs/ adjective outrageous, senseless or extremely silly “That is bananas.”

Whatever I can find on the free food table (within reason, looking at you Panera Bagels).
5. If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and why?
Jean Claude Van Damme. When I first saw Bloodspot I sat in front of the TV and didn’t take my eyes off the screen. It was the first and last time I haven’t talked through a movie. I like to imagine we would do some splits, kick some palm trees, and maybe get in a workout.
6. If you had to pick one song to play non-stop in the background of your life, what would it be?
“American Girl” – Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. JK, you know I am talking John Mayer cover here. It’s an anthem.
7. If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be?
The ability to always make myself the center of attention.

How truly incredible the folks here are. Shout out to my friends!

Hashbrowns and Advil.
10. What’s your most interesting two-truths-and-a-lie? (And what’s the lie?)
(1) Hulk Hogan lived in my neighborhood, (2) I have been in and won a professional eating contest, and (3) I wrestled in high school. Number two is a lie, the contest was not professional and I took second.
11. If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
I would live in Zion National Park. So, Utah.

Teacher’s Pet, gotta get those Letters of Rec.

I get eight hours a night, baby.

Going to Bilt three-to-five times a week.
20. If you could make one law that everyone had to follow, what would it be?
I would outlaw Pav construction during the school year. I understand they need to lay new tile on top of other tile, but the water saw has woken me up every day this week and, frankly, I am resentful.
