1. What is the scariest experience you've ever had? Recount that story.
When I was living in Colorado, the land of beautiful mountains and scenery, I partook in numerous hiking endeavors. While on said hikes, I would usually get the urge to climb something, since I am, after all, a man. Well, I came across a particularly inviting rock that was calling out to me, begging me to climb it. Since I am a gentleman and rarely turn down a polite offer, I decided to oblige its subtle offerings. About 10 seconds into my climb, I began to realize that the rock I was on was trying to kill me. Where there were once clearly visible hand- and foot-holds now proved to be smooth rock face. With no way to go up, and a long drop underneath me, I began to panic. I thought to myself, “I immediately regret this decision.” Long story short, I escaped with only minor injuries. I only walked with a limp for half a month. The fall back down to earth was less painful that I expected; since I am, after all, a man.
2. How tall are you?
6 foot 2 inches.
3. What does your "10:23" tattoo mean?
I am not allowed to disclose that information.

Straight to the ocean.
5. Do you promise not to take Myspace style self portraits with your new lomo camera?

6. How did we manage to become friends?
I’m really, really, really awesome. I opposites attract.
7. What is your favorite color?
Green. (Song of Solomon 1:16)
8. Would you rather die of thirst in the desert or from freezing to death?
I hear that freezing to death is actually a nice way to die, because towards the end, you just go completely numb and that sounds nice. However, I hate being cold, so I would rather die in the desert.
9. Zombies or vampires?
Vampires if I was Dracula from Van Helsing; he had some hot Vamp wives. Zombies for everything else.
10. Have you ever read Pride and Prejudice?
I had to read it for a college class. I read the first 98 pages and then used cliffnotes for the rest of the book. I got a B in that class.
11. Would you like to be famous one day? Explain why or why not.
Yes!! I’ve always wanted to be famous. I think that it’s because I want my name to live on after I die. I want people to remember me. I want to make an impression on people. I want to be a part of history. I think deep down inside, I want to be famous because I want everyone to like me.
12. Did you ever take AP classes in high school?
No way. What a waste of time.
13. Do you like thunderstorms?
Yes! In my old house in Sturgis, SoDak, we had a huge bay window in our living room. When there were thunderstorms, my family and I would go sit by the window and listen to the thunder and watch the lightning. It was a great time to be alive.
14. What do you want your next tattoo to be?
I want to get something on my shoulder. On the top of my shoulder. Maybe some lines or a design or a word or something. I’m not sure yet.
15. What is your ideal weekend?
Wake up early Saturday, breakfast at Obligatos, go skimboarding with Caleb, lunch at Family Mart, drive around and take pictures, watch an afternoon matinee, dinner at CoCo’s Curry, Karaoke with drinks and friends until the wee hours of the morning. Sunday morning rolls around and you will find me back in Colorado somehow. Don’t ask. Go to Sunday School and get free breakfast. Head over to the main service and praise God until I think I’m going to pass out. Lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings with Tim Brown. Afternoon hike up the Incline. Picture session in Manitou Springs at night followed by a cup of Herba Mate and intellectual conversation with my literary cohort, Seamus. The end.
16. What is your favorite genre of literature?
Comedy. Followed by anything Dan Brown has written, followed by any cover that catches my eye in the library. (That’s how I do most of my book shopping. If the cover is cool, I read the book)
17. What is your favorite dessert?
Pie. Pecan, Cheesecake, or Pumpkin.
18. What are your parents' names?
Mark and Janeen Wheeler.
19. Where do you see yourself five years from now?
Dead.
20. Where do you see yourself twenty years from now?
Risen from the dead, owning a scuba shop with my buddy Tim Brown, living in Okinawa, married with 5 little children running around my feet.
1. It must have been a rather steep fall if you limped for two weeks. But, alas, your manhood remains intact. "If it doesn't kill ya, it can only make you stronger."
ReplyDelete2. According to my license, I'm 5'2", but according to my doctor, I'm still 5' 1/2", and have been since my last growth spurt... at age 12.
3. Is anyone ever going to know?
4. I approve, heartily.
5. I disapprove. Passionately.
6. You're ornery, is what you are. That's probably why. I like myself a lot, and you and I are definitely not opposites, so that must be why. We're friends because I like the me I see in you. haha. That's not vain at all.
7. Beautiful.
9. I totally agree. I freaking love that movie.
10. You should re-read it. It's my favorite book. I feel like Eliza Bennett and I are kindred spirits.
11. That's cool. I used to think I wanted to be famous but, after hearing about the damage it does to people's self-perception and seeing how it's destroyed so many families, I would never want that for myself or my loved ones. They deserve the best care I can give them, and I think fame would taint the beauty of living the humble life that God's given me.
But if you want to be famous, I support your decision. haha
12. Boooo. AP FTW. The intellectual stimulation in my AP classes were the only way I survived high school. I actually felt myself dying inside in every other class.
13. I've always wanted a bay window for that exact reason... sigh. I bet it was lovely.
15. That sounds wonderful. I've heard great things of Manitou Springs.
16. Yeah, I judge books by their cover too. It's innate though.
20. Blasphemous. lol. But that sounds like a wonderful way to live. :)
13.
Comments on your comments.
ReplyDelete3. I'd like to think that it's something i'm going to take to my grave.
6. We're both just selfish machines (PTV FTW)
12. I wasn't very intellectual in high school though. I think i tried harder to be dumb than to be smart haha. I have a lot of stupid stories from high school.
14. Manitou Springs is one of my favorite places in the whole world. If you ever move to or visit Colorado Springs, you NEED to go to Manitou Springs.
16. I never thought of it as 'judging a book by it's cover'. But, I have read some great books with some great covers.
20. Why is that blasphemous?
3. I can respect that, but I will still ask... until I give up.
ReplyDelete6. C'est la vive. We are human. (btw, what does PTV stand for?)
12. I think I would like to hear these dumb stories. I was always looking for a reason not to feel like a sheep in a herd, so I went to tech school my junior and senior years. I hated high school.
14. Yes. Abbie told me that I'd love it because there's marijuana leaves on shop windows all over the place. Apparently, once a stoner, always a stoner.
20. The dying and rising from the grave thing. I thought you were trying to make a foil between you and Jesus.
3. and i will keep denying your requests, until i break down someday.
ReplyDelete6. PTV = Pierce the Veil. Selfish Machines is title of their newest album. I've been listening to it non-stop for a week or two now.
12. omgsh. i have soooo many dumb stories. I used to snort things up my nose for money. I got 20 dollars once for snorting Wasabi up my nose. I was on the bus on the way to school when my friend pulled out a tube of Wasabi and laid out a line on the seat in front of me. It was the most painful thing I've ever put up my nose.
Then, at lunch, i used to get rubber bands and break them so it would be one long piece of rubber. I would take on end and put it up my nose, and while holding the other end, i would snort it up my nose until it went down my throat and then i would cough it up into my mouth. then i would hold one end of the rubber band coming out my nose, and the other end coming out of my mouth, and then 'floss'. One day, i created a band about a foot long by tying about 10 rubber bands together. I had 2 other friends who could do the 'rubber band trick'. So, i started by snorting one end of the long rubber band, and then we began to thread the long rubber band through all three of our noses. so we were all connected by on rubber band through our noses. It was pretty disgusting, but i thought it was awesome at the time. I still kinda do. hahaha
14. Ask Abbie about the sign that said "Free Drugs" in Manitou haha
20. Oh, well, I just want to live an extreme life, and who knows, i might die, and i just hope that there is someone with enough faith near me to raise me back from the dead. And once i'm arisen, i might just lead a normal life haha.
3. If you don't want me to know, I'll try my best not to ask... but I'll have to fight my tendency to NEED to know things. If I don't know something, it'll drive me crazy until I can google it and figure it out. lol. I'm slightly obsessive about knowing what I need to know... is that weird?
ReplyDelete6. Ahh, I should have caught that. I watched the music video for Caraphernalia the other day. My twin's voice is SO high. Higher than mine, I do believe.
12. That's stupidly awesome. I snorted pixie sticks off my friend's keyboard for an anti-drug Public Service Announcement once. We got permission from my teacher to have a rave for our video shoot. It was bad ass.
The rubber band thing is super gross, but also super impressive. You're quite the nasal cavity talent.
14. Free Drugs? Will do. Tomorrow.
3. It's not that i don't want people to know, it's just that i like mystery. and if i have something to hide, i'm going to hide it. It makes me feel like i have control over something.
ReplyDelete6. yeah, Vic Fuentes is my idol. Such a stinkin high voice!!
12. I've snorted pixi sticks. i drank a can of coke through my nose once. I snorted blueberries, noodles, mustard, ketchup, bits of napkin, etc.
Once, before class, right when lunch was ending, i snorted a gummy worm in it's entirety. So on my way to class there was a huge gummy worm in my nasal cavity, with one end just inside my nose, and the other end dangling in the back of my throat. I got to class and had to do a speech in front of the class. For some reason, i still had the worm in my nose (i think i was trying to see how long i could keep it there). but in the middle of my speech, i sneezed, and the worm came out...
I didn't get a good grade for my speech..
Mystery is a good thing to desire, I suppose. I'm really impressed that you haven't cracked at all. How long have you had that one?
ReplyDeleteAnd the gummy worm story is just disgusting. That's all I have to say about that. lol
Side note, it's not actually 4:43 am. It may be on the West coast, but here in the OK it's 6:43am... is that even acceptable? I'm so tired. :(
ReplyDeleteIt depends on if you're still awake, or just awoken. And in my opinion, neither are acceptable!! haha
ReplyDeleteI've had my 10:23 tat since August 2009
I got up at 6:30 this morning. Again. Personal hygiene is SO over-rated. I mean, my two and three day hair gets more compliments than when I've just washed it. And I'm a girl so, naturally, I smell good no matter what. I don't need to wake up at 6:30 everyday to shower. Who freaking does that?
ReplyDeletepsh. i know right. i would never shower if it weren't for the fact that i love warm water showers. and that i can't stand my greasy hair after a few days. haha
