Which sins have you committed?
I mean, mostly normal stuff that you can expect. Lying, cheating...I mean, I'm far from perfect. There are a lot of sins I've committed. To name them all would be "unpossible" (/ralph).
If you were a wrestler, what would be your pose?
Would probably start out with Randy Orton's douchebag pose, which would lead into the RVD thumbs (and there's a pic of me doing that pose somewhere on the intraweb...complete with the wearing of the Tampa Bay hat!)
What do you like about PH over OO?
Things are just more relaxed over here. I just feel more welcome to say whatever I want.
Tell us about the interesting scholarship.
Well, it was my senior year in high school, and I'm announcing the starting lineups for the basketball teams during this year, and it's senior night. However, when I go out to mid court to announce the starting lineups, the microphone stops working and our sound system (which was fucked all to hell and still is) just dies out. So, instead of standing at midcourt like a jackass, I start SCREAMING the lineups to the biggest ovation I had ever gotten. As a result, I lost my voice for the night, but during halftime, a man approaches me, and he was from Mount Olive College (pickle country for those of you in the south). He was there scouting a basketball player from our rival team, but saw me announce, had heard me at the game the year prior, and said that he wanted me to come there on a full scholarship for announcing. It was most definetely the coolest thing ever - a scholarship to do something I love? I mean, it's what athletes must think when they get athletic scholarship.
However, the admissions guy was a liar. He told me I could announce (and do play by play) or a couple of games, just so I could if it was what I "really wanted." I tell him, yes, that's fine, I'll be there for two games. Well....I drive about an hour for each game, and when I get there, he tells me he wasn't sure if I was going to do it or not, so he got someone else to do it. After the second time, I thought "if they fuck me over before I get here, jsut imagine what kind of shit could happen once I come here." I ended up telling him, no thanks, I'll take my academic scholarship to Mount Olive's rival, and if they need someone to announce their basketball games, I announce there.
