18 Questions about Yourself

1.Describe yourself briefly.

I'm big on thinking and philosophy (hence where I decided to become a "perctioneer" [see text under name, to the left]), and do lots of crap. Probably too much crap, though I'm very picky about what I do with my time. (right now is "burnout time" - too mentally tired to get to the workload at the moment. Gotta do something easy, like post on the forums)

My name is Dario D. (let's not touch my last name), and I'm 21.

I thoroughly enjoy my work, and my hobbies happen to also be my work.


3.What is your opinion of today’s youth?

Similar to my opinion of today's dog crap.


4.What changes have taken place in society since the time you were a teenager?

It got worse. (btw, I'm 21, so not a whole lot has happened)

9.Have you had a mentor in your adult life?

Yeah. I thoroughly enjoy listening to my brain, if and when it's in the mood to serve. (which is a roll of the dice)

Making a comedy-based video series that tackles the flaws of man from the core, in a deeply philosophical way.

I like children.

An Alphailic manner. (better to not ask)

17.How do you feel about old age?

It won't come if I stay active.
