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.

Do you prefer shopping for groceries in person or online?

I prefer to shop in person so I can walk around the stores, look at different things, and yes, talk to people. But given how hard it is to walk at times, I do the online shopping and either do curbside pickup or delivery more often than not.

Do you go to church on Sundays?

Nope. I haven’t been to church regularly in quite a while. I don’t trust easily and to find a Pastor that I’m comfortable with, who is respectful and seems sincere and a truthfully good person, is hard for me to do. I read the Bible regularly. I believe in God and pray often. Yet the majority of organized religions feel like a sham to me and do more bad than good. I believe, but Church is not my thing, for now anyhow.

What’s the most intense album you’ve ever heard from start to finish?

Alice Cooper’s From The Inside. The man was locked up in a nuthouse and wrote about the experience, the people he encountered, and his insights. It’s an amazing musical ride.

Is $10,000 a month enough for you to live comfortably?

It would be hard to do, but I’m sure that I could adapt and manage.

Is a hotdog a sandwich?

It’s meat slapped inside bread. It’s a sandwich.

Name something a Democrat does better than a Republican.

Spend other people’s money and justify it for our good. And they’re great about talking about inclusion, but only if you agree with them. Otherwise, you’re a Nazi, a fascist, a racist, a homophone, and need to be destroyed.

Is anyone in your life you trust completely?

My bro, the Infamous One.

Which country would you never visit, even if the trip was free?

China. The food is great and the people are probably awesome, but the Government is as bad as it comes. North Korea too.

Name an athlete you think would survive the longest in a fight against a gorilla.

Former UFC and WWE Champion Brock Lesnar. I think a gorilla would take one look at Brock and go, “Hell no!”. He is a true beast!

Besides saying hello, how else do you answer the phone?

Either “Yes!” if I’m in a mood, or “What do you want?”, if it’s a SPAM call or someone who I already know that I don’t want to talk to. I can be pretty hateful at times, believe it or not.

Do you want to live in a cashless society?

Cash doesn’t leave a paper trail, plus I like the feeling of cash in my pocket. So, no to the world of debit and credit.

Do you talk to yourself?

Sometimes, I do. It’s only natural to want to speak to the most intelligent person in the room, right?

If you could go on a shopping spree anywhere, where would it be?

I’m not too particular or choosy. Let’s go with Cross Creek Mall in Fayetteville, NC. I haven’t been there in several years.

What do you regret not doing in the last year?

Confessing my feelings to Eric and snatching that dude to the Court House to get married. I really screwed that up big time.

If you had the opportunity to be immortal, would you take it?

It seems to me that immortality would be depressing and boring as hell. Plus, making friends and then seeing them die would suck too. I don’t think it would be all it’s cracked up to be.

Did you survive Covid?

I’m still here, breathing and alive. I guess that would mean yes.

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 in your dreams.

Ubuntu!
