interview ---
what are some of your likes and hobbies? what do you enjoy in life? --
well, i've always been an outdoorsy type of guy, so naturally, after living on the island, i love to surf. i'm not good enough to compete or anything, and i don't ever expect to be, but it is fun to just grab my board and hit the water. i also have taken up music, i was always exposed to the diverse music of the island, however, i took up the piano. now that, that i am good at, good enough to get into bouscher in music and good enough to do piano wars in the bars. i also rather enjoy the company of animals, i have two corgis. . . okay, i have one, my sisters have the other, but they're entertaining. i am also quite close to my family, i'm not necessarily a momma's boy, but i do try to spend time with my family. hm. . . what else is there? oh, country music, juggling, and history. i have a nasty habit of flirting with various girls, though people i'm close to tell me that i'm awful at it. . . oh, and bartending, restaurants, food in general, mixing new drinks. what can i say, i've found my perfect space behind the bar. heh. firefly! oh my god, best scifi show ever! my sisters tell me i must have been named after malcolm on there, but seeing as i was alive before that show was even in the works. . . however, they do find great glee in calling me captain. and what can i say, i enjoy it a little myself too.
what are some of your dislikes? are there any kinds of people you hate? is there anything that you would never do, nor eat? --
dislikes? well, rap music, can't stand the crap. especially the stuff that is simply cussing to a beat. ke$ha, i appreciate her music, like that it has a good beat, but she is trying too hard to just be strange. obnoxious drunks. god, they get on my nerves. though it is slightly entertaining when i get to get forceful and shove them out the door. making mistakes, i know that's kind of just human nature, but i cannot stand making mistakes, and i make a lot of them. ball pits creep me out, just thinking about all of the stuff that goes on in a ball pit, it's disgusting, and this coming from a guy who ate a dozen crickets on a dare. spiders, i'll kill them, i'll dust away their webs from above my sisters' beds, but that doesn't mean i like them. thunderstorms. i'm not scared of the things, i just don't like them, never have. they're loud and have knocked out my power too often. oh, if you're ever in my room or in the bar when i'm at least mostly alone, i have music on. i cannot take silence. and lastly, i detest missing wednesday night dinners with my family. i started that tradition years ago and i've kind of gotten hooked on it.
what is your favorite quote? how does it relate to your life? --
"you fail to recognize that it matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be." - albus dumbledore
this quote has always taught and reminded me that even on an island where the locals and the white men who have come to stay are constantly not exactly coexisting, does not necessarily mean that that is your fate, i have friends who are the tanned skin, dark haired locals, i surf with them and i work around them, and i've learned a healthy respect for their culture and lives.
what are some of your secrets, aspirations, and quirks? --
well, as far as secrets go, mine are kind of lame. most kids growing up would design their own swiss-family tree house, i would design my own restaurant. as i've grown up, i have made those designs more and more in depth, they're now quite detailed. and secondly, i am still in love with ryan berkley. what can i say? she stole my heart and hasn't given it back yet. however, due to the fact i am fairly sure i won't get her back, i flirt with basically every girl who walks into the bar. maybe it's my revenge, i mean, she left me because she thought i wasn't being faithful to her while she was gone, so now, i am doing exactly what she thought i was doing. . . no one ever said i was the smartest of guys.
as for aspirations, i genuinely need to open my own restaurant. i have a savings account that is working towards getting one open, i've got the better part of the menu already laid out, one of these days i will get it open. and as of lately, i've started wanting to put out my own cd. i don't sing, but just piano.
and quirks. . . oh how my sisters love pointing these out to me. i run my hand through my hair often, but especially when i'm uncomfortable. i also tend to drum my fingers on the bar or on my thumb, just to go along with what ever music is either playing or going through my head. and lastly, i organise my bar once or twice a week, mainly on the slow nights, i just like to clean it up.
what are five random facts you'd like the world to know about you? --
well, that's an odd question. okay, lets see. . . i can juggle. i really love to juggle fruit or the occasional bottles of wine. because i've grown up on the island, almost everyone knows me, but that's mostly because i am very appreciative of food. three, i watch shark week the first day it comes on, seriously, i just sit in my pyjamas all day and watch it, generally with those little blue shark gummies. i do piano wars sometimes in the bar, where me and another guy try to out play each other. it is entertaining to watch. and one more thing? okay. . . i gamble at times, rarely for money, but just for various things. it is essentially what makes me love truth or dare so much.
how long have you, and your family/ancestors, been on ehu island? how did you get where you are today? --
my parents moved here right after they were married, back in the early 70's, seeing as they married at about 17. over the next few years, they graduated from college and my father got his legal degree, and my mother started teaching. move forward a dozen years and you get me. their first child. two years later, you get my sister eryn. by the age of five, my mom had me playing the piano, it started out as a chore, then turned into a fun hobby. a few years later, my other two sisters were born, cassidy and elaine, the twins, leaving me and my dad greatly outnumbered. but he was very watchful over his three sisters, and then he met ryan, a girl who's aunt and uncle lived a few doors down, she was thrown together with eryn so that she could have a friend, but ultimately, it was me who became her best friend.
as the years went on, i got more and more involved around town, playing various sports, doing volunteer work, helping mom around the school, just being around. during the summers, i would hang around ryan, but during the school years, i would play soccer, i even started learning how to cook, just being a kid. but steadily, i grew older, got into bouscher on a music major, taught ryan how to surf, and would learn from a different cook every week, trying to get the most out of my abilities. by sixteen, i got a job as a janitor at one of the local bars, with the promise that at eighteen, i would have a job as a bouncer. so i worked towards that goal, but i met a little distraction. the summer that i turned eighteen, i realised that ryan was a bit more than just a friend, and by the middle of that summer, we started dating.
it went on like that for the next two summers, talking on the phone and emailing during the years and picking up right where we'd left off when she flew in for the summer. i also did get the job as bouncer at the bar, it was great. however, after i graduated, she accused me of cheating on her during the year, saying that she'd heard of how i flirted with others during the year, it ended with her hurling a picture frame at my head and walking out. that was two years ago and i still haven't heard anything from her. now, i'm in college, working as the bartender at the bar, still saving up money to get my own restaurant. my mom teaches at bouscher, my sisters both attend there as well, and eryn works at a real estate agency as a secretary. we're all at least mostly happy about things.
and, we saved the best for last: why do you belong on this reality tv show? --
well, how many other guys my age work at a bar on a hawaiian island? i don't really know what makes me interesting, to be honest, i just kind of love life and live with whatever it throws at me. i'm a gentleman yet a flirt, i'm charming, yet easily confused, i have spent a fair amount of my life trying to get to know people on the island, and simply feel safe and comfortable here.
