What Do You Most Regret Doing/Not Doing? dont have any that i can think of at the moment.

If you could be anyone (alive or dead or fictional) who would you be and why? TobyMac (maybe its just because I'm listening to him now) he is paid to do what he loves (that is awesome) he is a positive influence and strong christian.

What's Your Current Job? Digital Designer/Art Director

What's Your Dream Job? I love what I do, if I could do it with less time restrictions or budget limits it would be even better. I would think any job with Star Wars or Red Wings would be killer (I'm sure people could find sucky ones though.)

Do you have anyone in your family, who you're really close to? If so, who and why? My wife and kids, not close to anyone else. We want to be a close family now so that when the kids get older they want to stay around and still be in our lives with thier kids and so on...

If you could live in the Star Wars galaxy for a day, what planet would you go to and why? Naboo, it would be cool to see the beauty of the land. Coruscant would be cool too, from upper levels.

What three things do you want to achieve before you die? I've only ever had one obvious goal in live, I don't tent to set many of them for myself. I guess one thing would be to see great grand children and have a very fun, close family. See my children choose to become christians would be one of the biggest. For fun, I would like to get Republic Commando Armor and troop with the 501st.


Well, that's me, as best as these questions can get anyway. Hope you enjoyed.
