More Q&A

So this was so popular last time, I thought I would do it again.
Q: What’s your favorite color?
A: It’s blue, but what does that have to do with anything?

Q: I’ll ask the questions here. What has been hardest thing you’ve done so far?
A: I’ll give a serious answer and a not so serious answer to that one- I’ll let you decide which is which. I had a hard time making myself pay a cover charge at this crappy bar we went to one night. If the people we were supposed to meet weren’t already in there, I never would have gave them my money. I have also had a hard time not spending my stipend within the first two weeks of the month.

Q: Any bike troubles lately?
A: Why yes, yes I have had some bike issues. Saturday when I was riding to work, the dumb thing just stopped going forward. And anyone who has studied physics can guess that when the bike stopped suddenly, I kept going forward. It is then needless to say that I had a little rendezvous with the street. Fortunately there were no cars in that intersection at the time.

Q: Who is the most interesting person you’ve met?
A: This is a good one. There is a guest that hangs around our place named Gilbert. Gilbert is s huge alcoholic and always comes to dinner drunk out of his mind. I met him sober (just once) and he is a good guy, but that was the only time I’ve seem him not wasted. I think he is some sort of reminder to me to be careful with the choices I make in life, because it’s not a far fall to where the other Gilbert finds himself. And no, this isn’t my sly way of telling everyone that I’ve turned into on alcoholic.

Q: What is one thing that people do that pisses you off?
A: I am inwardly frustrated at the complacency of some of our guests with their state of life. There are opportunities to move on and up in their lives, but they, for whatever reason, do not make the effort to take advantage of those opportunities. Something else that frustrates me is to see people piss away their lives by using drugs. That is precisely the reason they are where they are and why their lives are going nowhere. I realize that addictions are tough to beat, but again, there is help out there.
