2. What is the first thing you say in the morning to yourself? I look in the mirror.

3. When was the last time you were really scared? I'm scared of heights. I had a dream that I was hanging by my hands on a railing about 100 storeys up this apartment building and my hands were slipping. I'm listening to the talk-back radio right now and Dave( who I know he used to play snooker) has rung up talking about the Grand Final last night.

4. Chocolate milk? yay, but I like Strawberry better.

10. Where is the most beautiful place you've ever been. Off the top of my head I would say Mount Kaputar which is a National Park in the central west of NSW. It's about 1.1 miles above sea level. You can smell the air there. Set up a camp and kangaroos are looking at you from afar.

I need to state something here. It might sound strange how I said I'm scared of heights then said I like going to Mount Kaputar. But the thing with the Mountain is you don't know your on a mountain unless you're looking directly over the edge or something. There are lookouts there where you can stand looking over and I can't do that. I went up to Sydney Tower once and got on my hands and knees and walked back to the elevators. A friend of mine had a place that was five stories up and you could go to the roof. Same thing happened, I get giddy and then sought of stumble back. This behavior wasn't there when I was younger. It's has only occurred sixteen or fifteen years back.

1. Who is the last person you usually think about before you fall asleep? My son.

2. What is the first thing you say in the morning to yourself. Some expletive after I try to rotate my bad ankle from the bed to the floor.

3. When was the last time you were really scared? Some idiot touched off a large amount of explosive tannerite with a rifle about a quarter of a mile from my house a couple of years ago on a Saturday while I was paying bills. My house is close to the city limits and outside the city limits you can use tannerite. It rattled the windows in my house, set off everyone's car alarm on our block and I thought my dog was going to have a stroke. I actually thought a plane had crashed or something since the airport is very close to my house. Several cop cars came around checking the area then finally came back to let everyone know the idiot was using the tannerite to blow up old appliances in his back yard.

4. Chocolate milk? yay or neigh. Definitely yay.

5. What was your favorite cereal as a kid? Corn Flakes.

6. Nightlight? Or full dark. Full Dark.

7. What is your most despised food? Anything sushi or spring roll related.

8. What is your favorite food? Chicken fried steak and white gravy.
