What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?

You’re asking questions. Why’re you asking questions. No, Benjamin, I don’t like it when people ask questions. Coz I don’t like it. I was havin’ a nice dinner, and he has to come in here and start with the questions. Jimmy. Come here. This is Jimmy Two Eyes. Thank you, Jimmy. Ask him why he’s askin’ these questions. Jimmy is very good with questions, aren’t you Jimmy. Go ahead. Go on and ask your questions, Mr. Questionnaire. Oh, now you don’t wanna ask no goddamn questions. You see that? You see that, Jimmy? Benjamin, you see that? No more questions. Now, why is that. I was just sittin’ here enjoying my fuckin’ dinner and suddenly I’m bein’ ambushed by Wolf fuckin’ Blitzer. No no no no no, sit down, sit down. Sit down. Sit. Down. Now ask your fuckin’ questions. What? You don’t wanna? Why? Coz I don’t like bein’ asked questions? Ten outta ten, motherfucker, ten outta ten. See, Benjamin. No need to worry. We have an A+ student here, a fuckin’ valedictorian.

Frying Pans & Fires

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

Failure is the kid that yells, “The Emperor has no clothes!”

It opens your eyes to who’s fake and who’s real
and all the lies you have to stop believing.

Success is turning way from the imperial procession
and doing your own thing.
