If you could have dinner with any fictional character, who would it be?
Well right of the back, it has to be a character from an anime. I would go with Vegeta, the prince. If you know you know, Dragonball Z.

What is the best purchase you have ever made?
What is the best purchase you have ever made?
The best purchase I ever made was two items my Canon 60D camera and my first Mac computer, Mac Mini. Those two purchases were two of my best investments in my life.
My creativity peaked and went to the moon and beyond. I love every single interaction with that computer and taking photographs and video production.
I remember the hours and hours using both equipment.

Which outdated technology do you miss the most, and why?
Which outdated technology do you miss the most, and why?
Bring back the portable cd players and cassette player, Walkman, life was great then. The passion for music and ownership is key. People appreciated music more when it was in a physical medium.

What is the best excuse you have heard lately?
What is the best excuse you have heard lately?
Lately, the best excuses come with creativity. I heard one that the car locked them inside and they couldn’t get out. I was like how? They said they got dressed for work, got into their car and the power cut off in the car and they were locked inside. So they are calling out.
Another was a leak in the house and I can’t leave the house unattended. I think that’s the winner as it’s true, pipes do burst and water ruins homes. So clearly I wouldn’t even fight that one.

Are you a lifelong learner?
Are you a lifelong learner?
I am, I am, screaming from the mountain top. I love to learn, read and write. Learning has been a vital tool and habit in life, that it has created ease and beauty in my life. For the investment of time to learn new topics, important topics, and proper research saved me from many conflicts.
People tend to overthink learning as just going to school or following a program. Learning is so much more than that. Imagine willing learning all the gaps you were never taught. Being able to understand hard to do activities or concepts. Think about all the articles and YouTube videos that exist with just a search.
Learning is a fundamental, make it fun.

What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” and what got you through it?
What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it?
Well I think I am living it now. The chapter is called “Ummm Now, So This Is Whats Happening”. I am pretty sure there was another time where it truly some hard years, but I am a fairly optimistic person. I am not the person to stay down long. If I am able to control the control-ables, I am usually in an okay spot.
In time, things will pass. Also being an active participant in the “now” also churns better outcomes. They won’t always be perfect, but you will get on by.
I remember the hard years were my teenage years. There was so much uncertainty and fear there. I am pretty sure it was filled with anxiety as well. Music, movies and sports kept me going. Music mainly was the driving force because there was a song for every emotion or feeling.
My college years, near the Recession 2008 was hard too. Years of college debt, low end jobs, unable to run away from family problems, again being active, having many passions, writing and music again was my saving grace to get me through.
I think I need to write music a thank you letter one of these days.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
If I could, if I really could live anywhere in the world, I would live in either Japan or Switzerland. I know I have never been, hoping to visit soon or make new friends who lives there. Through words and conversations, I truly can imagine life in a new environment.
I am pretty sure I can do anywhere in the caribbean, but I feel a person like me would shine in those countries.
I need to find some international friends for sure. Do people still do pen pals or international chat rooms where people can exchange conversation getting to know new cultures and people?
If you are reading this and know any resources I can use, shoot me a comment or message.
Honorable mention, I would live in Canada also as maybe my 3rd choice. Let’s see what life brings.

Is a little chaos actually good for us?
Is a little chaos actually good for us?
Chaos is wild to ask for, but I feel it’s inescapable. One day it will, you may not be ready, but how you act in the moment is telling. I have been through my fair share of chaos, and I felt it built me to be a better person, and professional as some of the chaos happened at work.
So I can say a dose of it is good to the right person or as a lesson if you learn and grow from it. The only time it’s not good, when things are more tragic than a chaos that can be fixed, I am just saying.
