This is one of my favorite fictional characters

If you had to switch lives with a fictional character for a week, who would you choose?

Every Saturday morning, I used to watch Looney tunes and eat Kellogg’s Corn flakes. I loved watching the Roadrunner and Wiley Coyote because Wiley could never figure out a way to eat the Roadrunner. He would build these elaborate traps to trap the Roadrunner and all of them would fail. He would fall down a cliff or a mountain. So, his famous words were back to the drawing board.

So, for a week, I could live the life of the Roadrunner and be able to run away from Wiley Coyote and watch him plummet off a cliff or a mountain. It would be great fun sticking my tongue out and quickly run away from Wiley Coyote. Just running that fast to avoid his traps would be fun. Thank you for reading. Have a good night.

This villain

Have you ever liked a villain more than the hero? Who and why?

In silence of the lambs there was a villain named Dr. Hannibal Lecter ( Anthony Hopkins) who cannibalized people, that they had to put a mask on him so he would not eat anyone. He was being interviewed by Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster, the hero) to assist the authorities in catching another serial killer, Buffalo Bill. Buffalo Bill would kidnap, starve, and skin the women and construct a suit for himself. So, the audience and I started liking Dr. Hannibal Lecter more than Clarice Starling from the stand point that he helped them catch Buffalo Bill, take him in custody and put him behind bars. Thank you for reading. Have a nice night.

The longest book

What’s the longest book you’ve ever read?

Well I could say I read one of these books, but I haven’t at all. I have read a number of books for school and college, but some of them weren’t very long at all. I think the longest book I have ever read is Around the Next Courner because the words were bigger than in other books. It made reading the book more enjoyable because I didn’t have to squint at the words. The book was written by Elizabeth Wren. It is a story about a woman who is going through empty nest syndrome. All her kids are growing up. Her oldest son is already in college and her other two are in high school. She is a stay at home wife, while her husband works at a clinic. She decides to take in a dog and train it for the blind. So, the whole book follows her around teaching the dog and training the dog how to be an obedient dog. So, in two years she will be able to relinquish the dog to a blind person. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

This is my absolute best thing I could give to people younger than me.

What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?

Nowadays, people get into trouble really quickly without thinking of the consequences of their actions. The best advice I can give to someone younger than me, would be abstract thinking. It is asking what if in any situation they are in. If I knew abstract thinking before I got shot. I would have probably not gotten shot. The cousin manipulated me to go down to the river with him, where he shot me in the head. So, if I asked the question what if I get shot in the head or shot period. I probably would not have gone.

So younger people have to know about abstract thinking and asking what if in any situation they are in. If a friend asks them to go and rob a bank with them. They just need to ask what if we get caught and they put us in jail. Then, he can kindly say no. Abstract thinking will keep them out of trouble, just asking that basic question in any situation they are in, what if. It would have saved me years of heartache. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

One big thing that would improve the city

What’s one thing that would instantly improve your city?

One thing that would improve the city I live in would be to do the road construction faster. The city messes up streets and leaves them messed up for years. Sometimes, I have to drive with one lane when there were two lanes before. That causes traffic to be backed up for a long way back. The road construction is frustrating in the city I live in. I know southern Arizona is growing, but couldn’t they mess up a street in the summer and finish it in the fall. It just takes a long time for them to finish with the road construction. This is my biggest complaint. Thank you for reading. Have a good night.

Across the USA

What’s the longest trip you’ve ever taken?

A long time ago, my mom, my older sister and I used to live with my real father, God rest his soul in Pensacola, Florida. My real father and mother always fought, so they divorced. So, my mom, my older sister, and I took a trip back to Ariavipa, Arizona. Where my mom’s family is from and that is the longest trip I have ever taken, from Florida to Arizona. Thank you for reading. Have a great night.

Best tip for budget travel

What’s your best tip for budget travel?

If you have to fly, pick an off month to fly before or after summer, either May or September. The weather should be nice. If you can, take a train or bus to your destination, driving, my preferred method of getting to places. It may cost more because gas prices are a lot so you would be better off using those alternative methods of transportation, such as, the bus or train. Once, you get there, you can use a bus or trolley, or train to get around the city or town. If it is not that big, you can walk, which is more cost effective.

Louging, if possible, stay at a hostel or a guest house. It is tempting for you to stay at a hotel or a motel, but if you use Google, or Chapt gpt, you can find cheap hostels to stay at. Maybe you even want to use an Airbnb, which is accommodations with hosts that have room to host, such as an extra bedroom in the host’s home, to private apartments, cabins, or villas. Yet, in these times, Google is an awesome tool.

When, you want to eat, eat fast food or street food. Save a sit down restaurant for a special occasion and make sure you have Googled the menu so you know how much everything costs. Maybe if possible, eat at a grocery store or a bakery to save some money.

If you want to go somewhere, go to museums or libraries to look at the literature in that country. They are usually free to a few dollars. You can go on walking tours of the cities that usually do not cost anything. You can hike in the city to get to know the city better, just Google the best parts to hike before going because you don’t want to be hiking in a rough side of town. Even though, you are on a budget, make sure you have fun and get to relax and do what you can do. Thank you for reading. Have a nice night.
