Everything? Do you want to specify some favorite bands or just leave it at that?
“The Schoolboy Q Pandora station. There you go. It’s got all the good sh*t on there.”
What TV series are you addicted to?

Describe yourself in three words:
“Family, Friends, and God”
What is your idea of a perfect date?
“Man…Chipotle for breakfast lunch and dinner and uh…watching movies and relaxing. Kicking back, chillin like a villain.”
Are you looking for a girlfriend?
“No, because I hate relationships…that’s why it’s complicated, because I hate relationships. They’re stupid, I always get F***ed over.”
Would you rather go out to a big party on a Friday night, or stay in and have a movie night?
“I guess you could say I’d go out. As of lately, other than last week, I’ve been staying in because it’s been cold, but I like going out. It’s fun.”
What is your favorite restaurant in Lawrence?
“Oh, man that’s hard… I don’t know… I did like that one restaurant that burned down [it didn’t actually burn down, but there was a fire]. The one that had the dollar bills all over the walls. It’s a bar. It starts with a J, I think. Jefferson’s! Somebody told me that it caught fire.
What are you doing for spring break this year?
“I’m going to Colorado to visit my brother. He just recently moved there for a teaching job.”
Is this your ideal spring break? What would you do if money wasn’t a component?
“Oh, if money wasn’t a component, I’d get all of my friends together and we’d go to some Island. What’s a fancy island? Oh, the Cayman Islands!”
What goals to you have for the future?
“I plan to have a good job…so vague. I plan on being a great dude and helping out lots of people in my future.”
