Let’s answer a few of life’s questions, five of them to be exact. Are you ready? Let’s do this.

What is the dumbest thing you’ve seen two people argue about?

I’ve heard people argue about so many things, from making noise while they eat, politics, Facebook posts, friends, folding socks, etc. If you name it, people will argue about it.

What children’s show characters would you want to get drunk with?

I want to get shit-faced with the Teletubbies and all the muppets from the Muppet Show. You have to know Miss Piggy is probably one mean drunk, Kermit is probably crying, and Animal, the name fits. It would be one hell of an event.

If you were asked to name a Canadian person, who is the first person to come to mind?

Bret Hart is always the first name that comes to mind when I think about people from Canada. And Alpha Flight, a group of heroes from Marvel Comics. Very highly underrated.

What is the biggest lie someone has told you?

That they’re here for me and that they loved me. Lying bastard!

What is your most effective way to handle a panic attack?

I just sit, take a deep breath, and take in my surroundings to realize where I’m at and that I’m okay. This is something, unfortunately, that I’m way too familiar with. And then, I simply come to my computer, put on my “at peace – relax” music, usually either the soundtrack from Jesus Christ Superstar or the Alice Cooper “From The Inside” album, and allow myself to come back to reality and settle.

And how about a bonus question. Here you go.

What is a fun animal fact that you know of?

Cows sleep standing up, but they can only dream when they’re laying down. I remember my Uncle telling me that when I was very young. Why we were talking about cows, I have no idea, but he raised a few and knew about them and was telling me cow stuff for some reason. And that’s the one fact I remember.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. Until the next time, take care and stay good. I’ll see you on the other side. I’ll be waiting at the bar.
