What is wrong with you?
Time and Newsweek recently summed up everything that is wrong with me up in their features on “the hippest disorders of all time.” All of the things that are wrong with me can be explained by initials (ADD,) or a catchy phrase (shitting-self-in-social-situations-disorder.)

I fuck everything up on purpose so as not to raise my personal bar too high.

Write a paragraph on the merits of Mike Seaver.
In the eighties, Mike Seaver was the quintessential older sibling/male role model in a family with two or more kids. He had all the qualities that make up the best of the human spirit: good moral character, compassion, honesty, friendliness, and a loving nature. But he also possessed a charming yet devious side that made him irresistible to all, yet made them wary of him at the same time. It’s this dichotomy that made him the idol he was.
What are you top 5 favorite albums of all time?
The Beatles’ Abby Road, the Rolling Stones’ Beggars Banquet, the debut from G Love and Special Sauce, Paul’s Boutique by the Beastie Boys, and One Foot in the Grave/Mellow Gold by Beck.
Name three songs you are embarrassed to like.
“Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)” – by Enya
“Wonderful Christmas Time” – Paul McCartney
“The Lion Sleeps Tonight” –Nsync
