- Who do you look up to the most?
- My peers.
What the hell do you do when you live in the middle of nowhere?- Go skate a park, walk the dogs, go on a hike. If it's raining probably go bring a rail to an undercover spot or skate some flat ground. Climb a tree, tear down a shed, rebuild the shed, mow the lawn, walk around with the parrots, chill with my snake, make some dope food, walk around the house until I think of something to do, build a fire, clean some stuff, do some school work, watch skate videos, play guitar, maybe snowboard in the winter, make some coffee, kick it in the hot tub!
How many animals do you have?- Total count 74: 22 chickens, 3 birds, 3 dogs, 2 frogs, 1 snake, 1 lizard, 3 goats, 1 pony, 1 donkey, 1 zonkey, 22 fresh water tropical fish, 13 saltwater tropical fish, 1 eel.
