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.

What’s the most random thing you’ve ever Googled?

I’m a writer and if anything pops into my head for any reason, I google it to learn more. The most random thing? Probably the Suicide Forests in Japan, or different ways to cook alligators. The thing about the Japanese forests came from an article about Logan Paul. The alligators came from watching a video on Twitter.

Joe Biden’s legacy will be that of the worst President ever. Yes or no?

Even William Henry Harrison, who was only President for a month, thinks Biden was a lousy President. The only reason Jimmy Carter lived as long as he did was to see someone be worse at the job than he was. Once Biden was there, he knew he could go. There was someone even more incompetent and lousy.

What’s something you will never compromise on?

My word. As I’ve gotten older, I realize now that my word is all I have. Word is bond and if I say I’m doing something, I’ll do my best to make sure it gets done.

Is childhood better now, or is it better without social media and cell phones?

It was a million times better than, before social media, before computers, before people forgot how to interact, communicate, and knew how to rely on themselves instead of computers. We’re more advanced now than ever, and we’re worse off than ever as well.

What’s the first movie you remember watching as a kid?

I remember going to the theater to see Patton with my friend and his dad. I was seven years old.

If you get rid of the world of one disease what would it be?

It’s a toss-up between cancer and diabetes. Both have taken so much from me, I don’t know which one I hate more. I’d probably choose the diabetes. It’s affected me more on a personal basis than any other ailment or disease.

Your Favorite day of the week?

Saturday. I don’t have any medical appointments on that day and can relax for a change.

Do you ever doubt the existence of others than you?

Yeah, I have to admit that there are times that I wonder if it’s all real, or is all just a dream or a television show. If it’s a TV show, we need better writers. Yeah, sometimes it seems kind of crazy, like a bad dream or just a strange one.

Describe the worst haircut you’ve ever had.

I got bored and decided to shave my head. I’m not talking about a crew cut or anything like that, but totally cueball bald. It was not a good look. I learned that day that shaggy works far better than naked head for me.

What fashion trend do you wish would go away?

Saggy pants. No one wants to see underwear or ass. And the main thing about sagging is that the folks who could pull it off, who have firm, round, attractive asses, don’t sag. But the ones who are fat, flabby, or fat, and need to keep that butt covered up, they’re the ones who want to sag. It makes no sense.

What song would you sing for your American Idol audition?

Does anyone even watch or care about American Idol anymore? It used to be an awesome show, but it’s fallen so bad, it’s not even on the radar anymore. The last good season was Season 10. And since then, it sucks! Now, for me and my song? It’d be Seven Spanish Angels by Ray Charles and Willie Nelson. It’s such an awesome song, even I can’t screw it up.

Name 3 things in nature you find most beautiful.

Clouds, the ocean, and my dude, Eric. He’s a pretty man.
