How big is horse racing in your part of KY?

Everyone watches the Derby and a lot of people make trips up to Keeneland once or twice a year, otherwise I never hear anything about it.

Which classic rock bands do you think still needs to be inducted in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame?

I don't know who's in and who isn't - it's a pretty long list. I don't even think the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is really that important. It's great for the performers to have their work recognized in that way but for me personally it doesn't matter what bands make it in. Their contribution to music and culture as a whole is what I care about, not whether it's actually recognized.

Do you like Whitesnake?

Eh, don't really have a strong opinion one way or the other. What I've heard is alright but nothing I'm super crazy about.

Thanks for the advice. I fell a bit better now and am actually looking forward to it now. With all these new things I can do here I think i can start to call school an activity center haha

That's basically what I did, I think the most important thing is to get involved with whatever they have that interests you. You'll have fun and be able to meet more people who are into the same stuff too. You'll do fine!

what are your thoughts on Orcas in captivity.

I always thought ever since I was a kid that capturing things and just putting them on display simply for our amusement was kind of a weird thing to do. I don't really know about any issues specific to killer whales but like anything it's important that they're healthy, happy, and well taken care of. If they're not it's kind of selfish, isn't it?

Was middle to high school a big jump for you. I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed, but the fact that basically every one of my friends is going really eases me a bit.

The only real difference I think is that you get a little more independence. When I finished my 8th grade year I wasn't too sure what to think about high school either, but after spending a little while there I enjoyed it a whole lot more. Basically it's the point where they don't treat you like a kid as much; you're not forced to walk on the right side of the hallway, you don't have assigned seating or sections at lunch, the teachers don't spend the entire day hovering over you, etc.
The familiar stuff will still be there. You'll still have classes, you'll still have your friends to hang out with (and new ones to meet), you'll still have school clubs and activities to take part in, you just get to do all that plus not be yelled at by teachers 24/7. Enjoy it!

What are the pros and cons of having a small viewership like yours?

Pretty much everything's a pro, really. I have an audience but not one so huge that it becomes impersonal, I don't have to worry about business decisions, it's just the right size to be able to remember most of the names that I see commenting, there's not a ton of obligation or pressure to keep a super rigid schedule, I'm allowed more creative freedom and am able to try more things without having to worry too much about audience reception, there's basically no potential for any sort of drama, etc.
Overall it's actually pretty nice.

Do you like VGM (Video Game Music)?

I enjoy good music in the context of the game itself, but I never really listen to any video game music on its own.

Did you learn music concepts from taking a class or playing an instrument or both?

I played piano from when I was like four until I graduated high school. Music theory was a big part of lessons every week, but a lot of it was also driven by my own interest in music. I took a couple college-level music courses but they didn't teach me anything I didn't already know from my previous experience with it.

What is the hardest thing you have had to overcome in your life

Honestly I've had it pretty easy so far. Either way I'd imagine the majority of answers to this question would be pretty highly personal.

How many car accidents have you had.

I had one super minor one backing out of a parking spot at work a few years ago. Dude in the spot directly behind me was backing out of his spot at the same time and apparently didn't think to check the rear-view mirror before going. By the time he hit me I had already seen him, fully stopped, and was beginning to move forward back into my spot so while there was definitely a "bump" it didn't leave any visible marks at all. Neither of us reported anything. Thankfully that's the extent of my accident history so far.

Man bats, that position you're playing in can't be very healthy. May I suggest sitting more upright?

Lucius will surely be able to put something together to snap my spine back into place.

Should the Grandia 2 final boss been a 4 phase battle with Zera to Butterfly Zera to Valmar Brain to Valmar with the difficulty increasing from medium to evil hard and the music becoming more epic as the battle continue?

Four phases might've been too much, but if they wanted to do the butterfly they should've at least made something bigger after it. It's been a few years so I don't remember the entire end section verbatim but I think a Valmar's Soul or something would've been a neat finisher, to keep with the themes of fighting the other "parts" of Valmar.

What do you think of the MBTI? I know a lot of people make it pretty clear that they hate it but I think it can be a useful tool to understand yourself with as long as you keep in mind "the map is not the territory". Also, what type are you if you don't mind sharing? I'm betting you've got I and T.

I think my issue with the Myers-Briggs is two-fold. The biggest one being that it forces a binary outcome for each of its factors when in reality you should probably measure them on a scale, with the majority of people falling somewhere in the middle of both extremes. Also it relies on people answering questions about themselves, which is something we're notoriously bad at doing. It's easy to look at a question and answer it to get the result you want instead of how you really act. There are other problems from a statistics/data standpoint but I think the "human" part of it is enough to make me take its results with a grain of salt. If you want to use it as a place to start thinking about your own personality it's a quick and easy jumping-off point, but don't stop there and just go around describing yourself to everybody as an ISTJ or whatever.
I think the last time I took it was freshman year of college in my Intro to Psych class, I think I got INTJ back but I honestly don't even remember.

If alcohol is a good solvent, why does everyone say drinking it won't solve your problems?

Heartbreak isn't as easy to dissolve as sodium.

What would wrestling have to do to make you interested in watching it again?

I doubt it could do anything; the choreography and improvisation are really the only things vaguely interesting to me anymore. Last time I checked up on it there wasn't a single person in it I actually liked.

Why do you think google is doing what they're doing to youtube. I know they know they have no competition, but is that an excuse to make it worse and worse. Google+, I get why they added that, but they are aware of the desires of the people who make the site run. They can do it, evidence by this is-

(cont.) ... Facebook, which has had updates over the years, but none that ruin the experience, and actually do improve upon it.

Compare YouTube as it is today to YouTube as it was when I started in 2009. In 2009 we had an 11-minute time limit, very few people (no LP'ers) were able to monetize videos, you watched videos in a 4:3 player at either 360p or 480p, channels looked like http://bit.ly/1k3RWdy , there were no unlisted videos (could only be public or shared with no one), etc. You're out of your mind if you think Google is seriously saying "well we have no competition so screw it" just because they tweak the layout in some way that a vocal minority complains about. You're the only person I've seen champion Facebook's changes too, when some changes, like their increasingly convoluted and cryptic privacy settings, are arguably objectively bad, and when Timeline was rolled out everyone I saw was linking petitions to get the old layout back. YouTube has come so far over the last few years, don't lose sight of that.
