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

Can you forgive a partner who accidentally cheats on you?

How does a partner accidentally cheat? If a person is involved in a relationship and they cheat, it’s not an accident. Forgiveness depends on the partner, the circumstances, and about a million different things. Forgiveness is possible. Forgetting though, never is.

What’s a great song that tells an incredible or tragic story?

How about this one? Alice Cooper, in a musical letter to his wife, after spending time in rehab, and wondering what their relationship will be like. “How You Gonna See Me Now?”

What’s the earliest memory you have of the internet?

I remember going into Job Service to look for work, but using the computers to check out the WWF website and learning more about wrestling.

Do you consider Pro Wrestlers athletes?

Wrestlers are the best athletes and improvisational actors in the world today, period!

What is one bad habit that you have?

Procrastination. I tend to wait until the last second and then hit panic mode to get anything done or accomplished. Once I finally get moving, I can accomplish much in a short amount of time, but getting started is the hard part.

If someone offered you $10,000 to eat a live spider, would you do it?

Are we talking about a big, hairy spider, or is it a teeny, little spider? I’d have to be drunk or at least buzzed first, but for ten grand, I’d probably do it.

Where did you meet the last person you dated?

He was a friend of a friend who came into the ABC store regularly when I worked there. He came into the store with his friend, and we met. Instant connection from the first moment, and then one thing led to another.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve done for the sake of love?

I used to drive home from Wilmington to Laurinburg, roughly two hundred miles round-trip, two or three times a week, to see a certain married guy who I thought I was in love with. And then, I moved back to Laurinburg from Wilmington when my job ended, again because I was in love. I was so damn stupid then.

What celebrities have you encountered that were really nice?

Among others, from music, it has been Bucky & Rocky Covington, and Janis Ian. From the world of comedy, Beth Donahue. And so far as wrestlers go, Ivan Koloff, Jeff Hardy, Greg Valentine, and Michael Youngblood.

What is stronger? Physical attraction or mental attraction?

Mental attraction. Physical attractions come and go. A sexy dude can be found anywhere. But that mental attraction is tougher to kick. It’s a real connection and just has more impact.

Is it ok to eat a two-day-old donut?

Yes, it is. Donuts are good, regardless of how old they are. That’s why we have microwaves to freshen them up.

Is it acceptable to have a Bloody Mary for breakfast?

If that’s what you want to have, then it is perfectly acceptable. Just be of legal age and don’t drive afterward.

Are men and women able to be friends? Merely friends. Nothing romantic. And not ex-romantic partners.

I have many female friends. And many male friends. And there is nothing romantic or intimate about it. Friends are people with whom there is a connection. The gender of the friend doesn’t matter.

And there you go. Thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe. And with that, let’s close up the shop today. Take care and be well, my friends. I’ll see you at the copy machine.
