What is this, 20 Questions!??

I asked myself some pretty searching questions once - here's how I fared:

  1. Hi Russ - What's your name? Er "Russ"...(??)
  2. Ah sorry - ummm How old are you? I'm 31
  3. What do you like to do with your time? Well I used to skate a lot but having hospitalised myself over a sucky backside 50/50 in March 2004 I've not been near the bastard thing since. I now read depressing shit on the web pertaining to Peak Oil
  4. Oh really? What's the score with that? Global society and infrastructure has only been able to come about due to rapid industrial expansion based intially on burning and otherwise processing crude oil into a shitload of different products. Now as the stuff becomes ever more expensive, increasing numbers of people will be able to afford decreasing amounts of travel, food and nothing the like the levels to which they have been used to. Bummer aye?
  5. Umm right - OK, so umm when you skated - could you do lots of flippy type trick-thingies? he - yeah, about 20 different "flippy type trick-thingies"
  6. What's a "tre flip" then? It's another name for a 360 kickflip. It's basically a regular kickflip but the board rotates 360°
  7. Choice, so what kind of tunes are you into? Techno, Hard-Trance and tuneful Hip Hop
  8. Fave song/track? K90 Hyper Intelligence
  9. And do have a girlfriend?Errr Yup! :-)
  10. Err OK, cool - does she umm, like have a name?Oh sorry - she's called Tasia, she's 31 and she's a native of these fair shores.
  11. Nice - so if you did something, would you be pleased? Naturally. (wtf?)
  12. 15 men on a dead-mans chest, yo ho ho and a ... Pint of Stella Speights?
  13. Tea or Coffee? Plunger (CafeTiere) Coffee every time mate
  14. What would you describe as being your best achievement to date? Having got decent jobs in both Aus and NZ instead of fruit picking. Nothing wrong with fruitpicking you understand, but you get paid bugger all for it and get skin cancer from the sun on your back - I did do a couple of weeks turfing in Perth though..
  15. Would you go back? I'm already here numbnuts..
  16. Favourite food? umm my very own veggie Lasagne which once cooked on a Monday lasts me all week, tastes bloody marvellous and costs about 10 bucks.
  17. Favourite drink? Trying to ween myself off beer. But it isn't working....
  18. Do you have a fave actor/actress? Maybe Harrison Ford? The guy has style. I like Bill Murray too. He's one of the more popular American actors able to convincingly do sarcasm.
  19. Is the glass half empty or half full? Neither. I'm a realist. The glass has 50% of its available volume occupied by an as yet unspecific liquid.
  20. Finally Russ, what are your hopes and aspirations? To move to a country with a warmer climate, with a more proactive attitude to the outdoors and outdoorsy things. In other words, probably New Zealand, when I'm in my early 30s. Done. To own my own property and become as self sufficient as I am able to. Becoming less reliant upon centralised utilities like electricity generation for heat and electronics (windmill + roof-mounted solar heating), mass-produced food (vege garden) council supplied water (rainwater butt).. but we'll see though..

'Hey thanks for helping out with the interview Russ'.

'No worries Russ'.
