So You Think You Know Me?

Favorite Pixar movie? Up. I love everything about this movie, the deep meanings, the story of the old couple and their dreams. I love the abstract things in this movie, the things that are in there that could never happen. This movie makes me cry and crushes me every time I see Mr. Fredricksen betrayed by his life time hero.

Favorite Disney Movie? Pinocchio. This movie is so spiritual and it's got so many underlying messages and lessons. It pretty much goes hand in hand with the plan of happiness. It's so much about choices, agency, accountability and freedom.

Why were you given your particular name? My parents saw it in a newspaper I think.

How many brothers and sisters do you have? 5.

What is your favorite thing to do? Perform. I didn't come to love it until around my senior year in HS. When I was young doing anything in front of people made me very nervous. The exception was basketball. But now I love to perform, including public speaking, telling a story at a gathering, playing music, dancing, anything...you name it, I'll perform it if it's something I'm confident in.

What is your favorite thing about your mom? My mom is one of the easiest people to live with or be around. She compliments every personality because she is Christlike. She's probably the most unselfish person I know. Nothing is ever for her. Nothing is ever about her.

What is your favorite thing about your dad? My dad is one of the smartest people I know. Dad will know. Dad has all the answers. Dad has so much wisdom. He's experienced a lot. He's been the jack of all trades so he knows a lot about pretty much everything because he also loves to learn. I also love that dad looks 10 years younger than he is. He looks like Hollywood's best leading man.

I also love that both of my parents are young and hip enough to relate and understand us kids. Either they make an effort to do that or it just comes natural but there's really nothing my parents won't listen to or look into if we're into it. They're hip, there's no other way to say it.

What is your favorite thing about yourself? I like my confidence and the fact that I know who I am, I know what I like and I'm not concerned with what others think of me. Not really anyway. I like that I'm not afraid to be myself and do what I want even if I am a little different.

Do you like to sing? I LOVE to sing and one of my number one wishes is that I could do it better. I have a couple things I have to work on when I sing which causes me to be self conscious about it. Breath control and breaking into falsetto gracefully. I write my own music, lyrics, and melody lines. I also play music well but I'm not as confident in singing which is why I'm more of a song-writer/producer type and less of an artist type, although I love to perform so I don't know. Maybe I just need to practice singing more and be confident...

Do you like to dance? Gosh. I LOVE to dance and I love to improv and get a group excited. Improv is king, what you do on the spot is yourself letting the music work with your body like a palette. That's the best. You have to practice that. Improv takes a lot of brain work. Your mind has to be in shape. It's the same mind in shape as rapping freestyle would require. Your mind has to be more in shape than your body but if you are, it's the most rewarding way to dance.

Do you like to play a musical instrument? Hello! I play the drum set and all the percussion instruments favorites being Timpani drums and suspended cymbals probably.
