Question 30

30. Who are you? When are you you? When are you not you?

Who am I? I can't say, it's all personal opinion.

When am I myself? I'm mostly my self in a casual setting around good friends.

When am I not my self? There's too many scenarios to list, but I'm not me way too much. This has changed some over the last little bit though. I'm growing up (EW!) and getting things together.

Question 28

29. A place where you feel most comfortable. A person you feel most comfortable with.


I feel comfortable in many places, but the place I feel most comfortable would be my room at my parents house. Yeah yeah, I know that seems generic and all but it's the truth. All my stuff is in there, it's got my own personal flare (cool sheets hanging from the ceiling), and people rarely come in there. I can be all alone with my music and some food and do what ever the fuck I want, it's awesome.

Now, as for the person I feel most comfortable with, that's a different story. I like a lot of people, and most of the time I'm a friendly guy. But I've never had a person that I've totally trusted before, I don't know why I'm this way, but it's not really a bad thing. Some secrets (none of them are bad just personal, so no worries folks) are just meant to be kept to your self.

My dog knows everything but he's not a person so....

Question 28

28. Your most prized possession and why.

Prized possession hey?! I know!!!

A very very long time age when I was just a wee laddy, my family and I went on our summer trip to the valley to see relative that live there. On the way we stopped at the Ross Thompson farm. It's a little museum/interactive farm place, fun for kids type deal. After the little tour we went to the gift shop and I got a little, simple, blue spin top. That thing has been in our house for ever, and even today I can sit and spin it for a damn long time. In fact I have more fun, the dog hates it but he won't bite it, just tries to paw it.

So now your like "What the fuck Roscoe?! You're really lazy on these blog posts! Smarten up! give us some deep secrets and such!!" Well, no and no. Remember that old saying "Possessions are fleeting." I believe in that to some extent. I'll explain how I came to this answer. My prized possession can't be a person or animal, you don't own those. It can't be something that a lot of folks would choose, that would seem like an easy answer. So like a computer is just shit, I like my compys but I don't see them as a prize. I didn't choose my guitars because, for one, I have more than one, and I see them as just a part of the grander part of "music" in my life. It had to be something special but that shows who I am and how I think...

The top is always there (there was a long while when it was lost but I came back and was all the better for it!), it calms me down, makes me happy and can eat time away like a fat kid eats a cup cake. It's simple but has a complexity about it(it spins!!). It's the best top I've ever seen! I can get it to spin for a good 4-6 mins sometimes. It's just fun. If it was to disappear again I think I'd be OK, I know if it would come back later, there's magic there for sure!

If my family is reading this and the top has some how met it's end via a chew from the dog of maybe got stepped on then let me know ASAP! If not, then find the top and hide it away from harm!

Roscoe (I'll get a picture of the top over break and make a page about it.)

Question 27

27. List 5 things you want to do in your life.

Maybe edit that question... "27. List 5 things you want to do in your life, as of now."
That's better.(I'm smart enough to know that people want different things as life goes on and plans are never what they want to be. That makes life fun!)

1) Travel. I want to actually go the whole way around the world once, live in Europe for a few years and then hit up New Zealand for a long while. I don't know what the details are for this trip but it most likely will happen at some point.

2)Own a homestead. I won't say farm because I couldn't run a farm, but a half asses homestead with some cows, goats, chickens and a bunch of dogs would be cool! Nice wooden house all open inside with some sky lights and a giant loft bed, wood stove and secret office/study/den.

3)Get a degree. Working on it! Going swell!

4)Live in the woods in a log cabin for a while. A year at the most but if I'm alone then probably only a few months. No, I would not be surviving off the land nor would I seclude my self from others. I just want the option to be in total solitude, not the actuality.

5)Number five isn't coming easy..... hmm... I think that's all I really want. I guess there are other things, like getting married or such, but that's more like "It would be cool if it happened but I'm not going to kill myself tyring fro it." I guess all I really want is to be happy.

Just some simple little things that don't effect anyone but me.
Roscoe.
