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.

Would you rather work hard to make yourself happy or towards the greater good?

Is it wrong to be a bit selfish and want to be happy? Luckily for me, I enjoy trying to help people, and being able to be there for others makes me feel more content and happy. So if I’m working hard to make myself happy, others will usually also benefit. So there you go.

Would you rather be an actor or a movie director?

I’d rather be the actor. Maybe I can suggest a few things to the director and assist in other ways, but I don’t want to be the one to have to deal with the B.S. of it all. Just let me come in, do my part, and go home.

If you could manage anyone in WWE, who would it be?

Of the current roster, I think it’d be the team of Grayson Waller and Austin Theory. Those two guys are amazing and are going to be huge stars one day. I’d just like to be a part of that and along for the ride.

What is not a big deal to most people but is torture to you?

Making phone calls. I hate talking on the telephone and my anxiety
hits hard. I despise a damn telephone anyhow, but it’s a necessary evil. I’d much rather text or talk in person.

If your father said “Stand up” and your mother said, “Sit down”. What would you do?

I’d sit my ass down. Dad was Dad, but Ma was/is always the boss.

What did your past relationship teach you?

If it seems too good to be real, it probably is. People suck and don’t trust anyone. Choose wisely.

If you could instantly learn any instrument, which one would it be?

The piano. It’s always fascinated me and I’ve always loved piano music.

What is the one thing you like about yourself?

One thing? I’m a truly nice guy when it matters. I can be an ass on occasion, but I do like people and being there for them. Yes, it’s gotten me hurt on more than one occasion and I have the scars to prove it. But that being said, I’d rather be a nice guy and take the risks associated with that role than be a self-absorbed, narcissistic, materialistic piece of shit… or a Democrat.

What is the first song that comes to mind when you see the Notorious B.I.G?

The Fat Boys are Back, by the Fat Boys. I honestly don’t know of any songs by the Notorious B.I.G., and I’m not a fan by any means. The only reason I know of him was that he was shot and murdered. I’m just not a big rap guy. But I do remember that song by the Fat Boys and let’s admit it, B.I.G. was a fat boy.

If you could, would you sign up for space travel?

That would require me to leave my house and travel so I’ll pass. Maybe fifteen or twenty years ago, I’d have been first in line, but now? I have to say no… and get off my lawn. Pull your pants up and turn that music down. Damn hippies.

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 at the Grass Fields.
