Everyone loves beautiful and peaceful places. Canyons or mountains or cliffs or rivers. What do you think draws people to graffiti these places?
Well, for some people its just to say: "I've been there." I don't really understand it myself, all graffiti for that matter. I guess its like a marking of territory but its not really yours and it won't be even if you put your name or your gang symbol there or whatever. To me it doesn't make sense to deface anything, especially something that not a whole lot of people will see anyway. I don't understand the need to do so but there are people that do and for one reason or another they will continue to do so.

In some cultures dogs are part of daily cuisine. In some cows are worshiped. What would other cultures look at as strange or unacceptable in our culture, food or otherwise?
Well, look at how unhealthy we eat. I'm fairly certain that other cultures find that strange and or unacceptable. I mean, just look at the difference in food we eat compared to a different culture. We eat way more of everything, not to mention the snack food/soda stuff that everyone seems to go way overboard on. In France the biggest size of soda a mainstream fast food restaurant has is twelve ounces, here that's less than a small. And I'm not trying to bash on any fast food restaurant, I'm only saying our portion sizes are a lot bigger here.

In what situations is it wise for a friend to give advice and when should they just listen?
Well you should quite simply give advice when they need it, when they just need someone to listen to them is when you should listen. If the situation calls for advice, when they need it give it to them, if not, listen. That is all there is to it. If someone was complaining to you, they don't need advice, but if they were to not know what to do next then they need it. Although the situations aren't always that simple, it is fairly easy to tell when you should help and when you should just listen.

You have been struggling financially your whole life. You just won a million dollar lottery. Do you give any to charity?
Nope, screw them I won it, it's mine, just kidding. Yeah, I'd give some of the money to charity but I'd keep most of it, because, well I'm selfish. But hey, I won that money so I can do whatever I want with it, right? I'm not really sure what kind of charities are out there so I'm not exactly sure where I'd give the money to but it'd help somebody somewhere, or fix something. Or whatever, I don't know, it'd be for a good cause that's all that matters.

If someone you loved was seriously injured or killed by a texting driver, would that stop you from ever texting while driving?
You know, I don't text and drive all that much. But when I do, its always on my road, which hardly ever has any people on it. I know, its still not safe but at least I'm not endangering anyone but myself. Back to the point though, if someone I loved were killed or injured by a texting driver, I would probably stop, not that it'd be that hard to stop anyway, but yes I would stop texting and driving.

What advice would you give to the upcoming freshman to help them be successful in high school? Consider Multiple aspects of success: academic, athletic, social.
Academic: School is not all that hard to be good at, it is however very boring and time-consuming. One piece of advice I can give is that homework is boring and cuts into the things you want to do, but to let it back up until you have to do it is a very bad idea. So, just do your homework when its given out, it makes life a lot easier.
Athletic: I never got into the sports, even as much as I was told to try them. I just didn't like any team sport in general. It's not that they can't be fun, it's just that I didn't find them very fun, especially after I got into motocross.
Social: Ha! I am not the person to ask about any social issue, that's for sure.

Suppose you had a black box of your life. What would it contain?
Uh, I really don't know what that's supposed to mean. A black box of my life? Like something that I don't want people to know about? If that's the case, I don't want people to know about it. If I knew what it meant I'd write something more meaningful, but I, however, have no clue as to what that means. But I am fairly good at BS'ing my way through a paper, if you haven't already noticed. I'm not sure how far I am already but I'd say I'm three quarters of the way through. Oh, I just thought of something, if I go off topic do I get points marked off? If so, I only went off topic because I didn't understand what the topic was. Well, I guess I get what credit I get.
