What is your job?

I co-own a business that I can't say what it is because many people know the general area I'm located, people know what I look like (obviously I look different from the young me I posted recently) because I foolishly posted photos of myself in the past, and because it's a niche business for lack of a better word someone like Milkaner who obsessively seeks posters out on the internet could find me.

So I'd basically be doxing myself.

I'll say my income is split from the business and passive income. Unfortunately, Covid caused a lot of harm and it's been a struggle to keep it afloat. We were doing so well before Covid. The possibility of buying a different business from someone retiring this year exists. However, while she is knowledgeable about that field, I'd have to learn and defer to her until I do.

As one of the most masculine men on this forum, it may be shocking to know I may cry because I love what I do but Covid really fucked us up.

Do you think River Phoenix could have become a Hollywood star on Brad Pitt level, if he didn't die young?

River Phonix is no Raedwald (sp?) ...he's so dreamy... but yes I think he would have been a big Hollywood star. He was a natural talent. Have you seen the film My Own Private Idaho? He was amazing in all his films.

I remember you saying that you suffer from back pain at times. What caused the initial injury? How does it impact your life and your work now? What have you found to be the best solution for resolving the pain?

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

What are your hobbies?'

I have many but I'll give those that are unusual:

- I like reading over criminal trial transcripts and FBI documents
- I'm working on a fiction book
- Apricity!
- Hunting autists
- Reading books on various subjects about history, etc.

This is what I'm currently reading (for like a month because I don't like reading in Spanish because I have to read slower and I have ADHD):



Tooting Carmen would be proud I'm reading in Spanish, and I'm often concerned about what TC thinks.

Do you have an interest in psychology?

With the psychology of crime, biology, and psychometrics.

These are some of my books on those subjects:

Where does your hate for autists, stems form?

I don't hate autists. I hate high-functioning autists. Although I will sometimes just refer to them as autists. High-functioning autists are a serious danger to the world, and I think more people should be aware. All mass shooters that I'm aware of were high-functioning autsists. Sure they look innocent as they make their lists and obsess over what normal people see as weird but once they no longer get satisfaction from these simple autistic pleasures it's a complete chimp out: bodies start dropping.

How do you feel about your Spanish heritage?

It's fine. I cheer for Spain when they play the homosexual sport known as soccer unless they're playing the US. I do, however, root for Spain against the US when they play basketball (cuz, you know, negroes...) I have many books on Spanish history, especially about the Middle Ages. One could say I have a spiritual connection to medieval Iberian history.

However, I'm not a 'muh ethnicity' type of person.

Which countries have you visited and which one you liked the most?

Just Spain and Portugal. My family lives an hour away from the Portuguese border. It wouldn't be fair to compare the two since 99% of my time was in Spain and 98% of that time in Galicia.

My cousins travel all over. I do not like to travel.

Do you have siblings? What is your birth order? Eldest? Middle? Youngest?

Only child.

Do you read, write, and speak Spanish fluently? Both Galician and Castilian?

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

I remember you saying that you suffer from back pain at times. What caused the initial injury? How does it impact your life and your work now? What have you found to be the best solution for resolving the pain?

It's not an actual injury. Everything thing just aches. It just has to do with age, and physically exerting myself over the years when I should have been smarter (I didn't stretch). When you're young you don't think about it because your body recovers quickly, but you just pay for it years later. My main issue is my ankle and my neck is stiff.

It's fair. I can understand Galician and Portuguese mostly if it's casual conversation.
