Interview by Amorous Rocker

1. What are your biggest pet peeves?

I have several but I'll try to come up with my top ones.

• Lazy and stupid people (morons). They want everything in the world, and do not want to do anything and expect hard working people to support them. Sadly enough my own dad falls into this category which is probably why it is the top of my list. I think everyone should have a job that wants one, and I believe we should enable people to better themselves by giving people opportunities to learn skills either via college or trade schools. But people have to truly want it and be willing to work for it.

• People in the service industry that do not have the personality or people skills necessary to work in that industry. If you can not be pleasant and seem like you want to be doing your job, then find another job. If you are pissed off, unhappy, or just not a pleasant person then WHY get a job where you job is to interact with people and help them with things as simple as taking their money, or handing them some item they requested.

• People who do not know how to drive. Those people who are talking/txting while driving down the road with no idea or care of the people around them. Those people who drive below the speed limit (and its a pretty clear day, no bad weather), especially those on the interstate. If you are on a rural 2-lane road, then whatever. But people on an interstate who drive the speed limit or less and they just sit in the fast lane. Stop talking, txting, and DRIVE! If you do not know where you are going, stop, get a map/buy a GPS, and then proceed once you KNOW where you are going. And of course, anyone who doesn't know the basics of driving like using your signal, or turning on red, etc. If you need to, take the class again until you know the rules of the road.

2. Who has most inspired you in your life thus far and why?

My Mom. She is the most amazing woman I have ever known in my life. She wanted kids so she had my sister and I. She realized my dad was worthless and got rid of his ass. She took to raising us on her own. She tried to find a new husband and after realizing that he was a piece of shit, left him as well. Again she finds a new husband, and this time found a good guy that was good to her and willing to take on two kids (and he already had two kids of his own). She has scarified anything for us to make sure we had anything we ever needed. She also was the most understanding Mom you can have. She is not judgemental, and does not pry into your business. She only offers her opinion/thoughts when asked or when she sees you doing something really dangerous. She even went to college while working a full time job and taking care of two kids because she wanted to better herself. She is the honest, hard working, no bullshitting woman with a great sense of humor. (All of that is why I never let kids in school get away with "mama jokes", it usually resulted in them getting a beat down. OK I had a quick temper as well in school since I followed the logic that if you let anyone pick on you early in your childhood then you would get picked on the rest of your life, so I would fight cause no one was ever going to pick on me. It worked! *grins* )

3. What are your three biggest fears?

• Anything happening to my family and friends.
• Divorce; I remember my childhood and what it meant to me when my parents were divorced. I do not want that for my kids and I could never imagine being w/o my girl. She is the greatest!
• Getting old, and I mean seriously old like 80s/90s old. Not being in control of myself and my own life. I'd rather just die than "become a kid again".

4. What is the biggest upside to having an open marriage?

The best thing about an open marriage would be the fact I'm now closer to my wife because all of this has led to open honest communication. There is now transparency that was not always there. Anything that leads to more love and a stronger bond can not be bad.

5. How do you define sexy?

This is a hard one. I don't believe it is the traditional definition that many people have. I find my wife sexier when she is not dressed up or doing anything special. That simple elegant look that screams I'm just me. I do love when she dresses up but sometimes the days when she doesn't even try is so much better. Sexy is also being uninhibited, because it means there is no holding back, no fear, just straight out honest feelings and emotions. The ability to just talk and laugh together is sexy. Cooking; I love to cook and my wife loves to cook and now we love to cook together. Its just so sexy getting together in the kitchen and cooking together especially when we are in perfect sync (kinda like a musical production). I like the simple things in life and that is what I consider sexy. The last element of it is, someone WANTING to do something and WANTING to be with you. That just really screams sexy to me.
