Every day, my Twitter feed is filled with dozens of random questions. This is where I provide the answers. It’s Ultimate X Q&A. Let’s do this.

If a random stranger came to your house and knocked on the door and begged to eat with you because they’re hungry: would you let them eat?

I can not honestly say if I would invite them into my house because that would be a judgment call based on many different factors. But providing food? If I have it to share, I’d provide it and share. I don’t want to see anyone hungry.

“What’s the best way to approach a girl I like and start a conversation with her and let her know I like her?”

I’ve heard that saying, “Hello. How are you doing?”, is a good way to begin a conversation. Either that or just break out in song with the classic by The Doors, a song called, “Hello, I Love You. (Won’t You Tell Me Your Name!”. Both methods should work.

Do you read every day?

I do. Sometimes it’s fan fiction stories, sometimes it’s news, sometimes it’s comments on Facebook and Twitter, and sometimes it’s just a good old-fashioned book. But I grew up learning that Reading Is Fundamental and I’ve taken that to heart in my life.

If the Karma Police came, would you be ready?

I don’t think I’ve got much to worry about. I’m a pretty nice guy. Just ask your boyfriend. He knows.

If you were high on marijuana and you witnessed a poltergeist event, do you think you would be more or less freaked out about it? What do you think your reaction would be?

Change high on marijuana to drunk as hell on beer and liquor and it’d be far more likely. Considering some of the things I have seen and witnessed during my lifetime, I don’t think I’d freak out too much. Probably just a loud sigh and then mumble to myself, “Here we go again!”. Been there and done that. It’s no biggie.

If you are at the supermarket and you have 20 items, whether you are at self-checkout or human scan…and the person behind you has one item…do you let them go ahead of you?

Absolutely. It never hurts to be kind or considerate of others. I’d let them go first while I get my stuff organized and together.

If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?

My best friend/brother and his family because they are awesome and I love them.

What is Love to you?

When you are more about another person than yourself and put their needs and wants over your own, that’s love. Also, when you do what needs to be done, regardless of your interests and feelings, to make things better for someone else, even if they don’t realize it’s in their best interests and for their own good, that’s love. And when the mere mention of a name makes you feel all warm and fuzzy in the tum-tum. Well, there you go.

Have you ever seen a movie adaptation of a book that was better than the book itself?

If I have, I can’t remember it. 99.9995 % of the time, the book is better.

What’s something weird for meatballs to be in?

Maybe Mac & Cheese? The only thing that meatballs belong in is either spaghetti or in a sub/hoagie. Anything else would qualify as weird in my eyes.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe. And with that, let’s wrap things up. Take care and be well, my friends. I’ll see you in the dressing room at Walmart.
