I am not an Internet superstar.
Hosting a TV show is a full-time job in which success is defined by it never ending.
Generally speaking, I, like anyone else who does anything publicly, like it when people like what I do, and would like to hear as much.
My candidacy is a compelling argument for my candidacy. I want to be President.
Creating fake facts does require a measure of haphazard research, insofar as they need to not just be possible, but also interesting.
Everyone wants to write a book. Very few people are able to do it.
The reality is that if you want to be in a reality-based community, you've got to respect reality and that means calling it bad when you see the past ahead and it doesn't look good and acknowledging when it's going to work.
My type of humor is me not caring whether people know what I'm talking about or not.
Here's the thing: I am not only a creature of civilization, I'm an asthmatic person. I will only live so long as I have stockpiled the proper inhalers. I'm effectively a cyborg. You know how in Jurassic Park, they bred those dinosaurs with the lysine deficiencies, so if they ever got off the island, they'd die? That's me.
A stopped clock is correct twice a day, but a sundial can be used to stab someone, even at nighttime.
The fact is I'm very self-similar.
My career as a magazine writer was largely prefaced on the idea of curiosity, to go on adventures and weasel my way into the lives of people that I admire.
I actually own a copy of my own book; that's how dedicated I am as an author.
Generally speaking, I think it is fair to say that I am a friend to the creatures of the Earth when I am not busy eating them or wearing them.
