Achievement are you most proud of? - Cerebral Noize
Are the best things about being male? - Emotions are less problematic as a guy, and it's much easier to take a leak.
Are you most attracted to about people? - Those that are particularly skillfull or talented at something. Visionaries with perseverance. Eccentricity, wit, charisma, positive attitude, enthusiasm.
Are your dreams & goals? - Establish a Cerebral Noize fan base, continue to record music, and have my music habits finance themselves.

Do you day dream most about doing or being? - Having rock star status, but without the trappings of actually being a rock star.
Do you see yourself doing in 10 years? - More of what I do now. I enjoy my life.
Do you want to be remembered for? - For my musical and creative contribution to the world, being an easy going moderate eccentric who played a lot of racquetball
Do you wish you were better at? - Social interaction, remembering details
Are the best decisions you've made? - Earning my B.A., learning to play guitar, pursuing Sheen, leaving Longview, buying my first computer in 1994 instead of paying off my student loan (I've paid it off since, though).
Is your calling or purpose in life? - To create
Is your philosophy of life? - Pursue truth, be reasonable and kind, strive to be exceptional at what you do, look for opportunities to laugh, choose quality friends, and of course rock 'n' roll
Is your political persuasion? - Disinterest
Is your most embarrassing moment? - Falling off of the diving board into the pool with my clothes on during girls' swimming / diving practice in high school. (I was the diving team manager.) I had the about 40 girls undivided attention and no dry clothes to change in to.
Is the craziest thing you've done? - Let's just say that I've been accused of streaking through my high school 10 year reunion. But nobody can prove it.
Is the scariest thing you've done? - Moving back to Bellingham without having a job in 1994
Makes you happy? - Working on art and music, playing racquetball, discovering truth, living harmoniously with those around, reaching those harder to reach goals.

Freedom

Live anywhere? - In a shockingly unconventional looking high-tech house, complete with a built in recording studio and racquetball court.
