Five Things: Mike

What was I doing ten years ago? I was plotting my escape from the evil clutches of Indianapolis, Indiana. I lived there for exactly one year, it only took 4 months before I realized that this was not the place for me. (people out there harbor great resentment towards blow-hards from the East coast). I was on the verge of my great California experience, planning my move to San Francisco.

Five Snacks I Enjoy: Soy nuts mixed with Wasabi peas, bananas, pineapple, Natures Valley peanut butter crunch bars, any kind of cookie my wonderful wife bakes.

Five Things I would do if I were a billionaire: Invest in solar and wind energy, because that is the next big thing. I would also become one of those loony animal loving philanthropists who cares more about dogs than starving children in Africa. I would buy one of those ABA basketball teams that cost like 10 g's and name them the "Assmen" or the "Short Bus Kids". I would create a scholarship for student atheletes who want to get involved in criminal justice and name the scholarship after my father. Finally, I would manage a cover band that performs nothing but Tool songs acoustically and name the band Stool.

Five Places I've lived: I will list them from favorite to least favorite. 1. Boston (love the town, hate the traffic) 2. Omaha (love the traffic, hate the fact that bands like Radiohead and stores like Ikea will never come here). 3. San Francisco (Love the food, hate the hippies on Haight street) 4. Nyack, New York (Nyack should be number one, I miss the pizza, bagels and the deli sandwiches) 5. Los Angeles (Big ups to Cheetah's, Ye Olde Rustic Inn, and The Vista movie theatre!)

Five Jobs I've Had: Dump truck driver, Ice Cream maker, Doorman at a nightclub, videostore clerk, and a concessionaire on the ferry to Alcatraz.
