1.How often do you get paid?
Every two weeks.

Not really, bills consume the majority of my pay.

3.What are the few days leading up to pay day like for you?
Just another day in a series of days.

4.If you had the option, would you like to be paid daily for each day’s work?

I think I was about eleven or twelve. My dad used to pay me to be his tool runner on construction sites.

How Many?
Too many!

1.How many times do you hit the snooze button on a typical morning?
I can't. If I don't wake up when it goes off I wont have time to get ready and I'll be late.

2.How many cousins do you have?
Around two hundred. Seriously. My father has fifteen surviving siblings from the same two parents and all of his siblings have several children, many of those children have children as well. Vin Zants are breeding machines.

3.How many bones have you broken?
Cracked my skull twice, fractured my jaw, fused two neck vertebrae(at the base of the neck), fractured my left leg just below the knee, shattered the three largest toes on my right foot(I dropped fourteen feet of bowling alley on them, split my big toe like a squashed grape, made a bloody mess), cracked four ribs on the left side, broke two ribs on the right(one's still sort of clicks when I cough), boxer's fractures in both of my pinky knuckles, chipped a piece out of the end of my right elbow(it's floating around in there still), and last but most certainly not least I broke my tail bone.

4.How many pairs of shoes do you own?
None. Danner Powerline boots, Carharrt composite-toe work boots, and Xtra-Tuf steel-toe rubber boots.

5.How many things that belong in the kitchen are in your bedroom?
Just an Atlas Mason jar that I'm currently using to rehydrate myself after my mini beer-fest last night.

1.How many times do you hit the snooze button on a typical morning? I usually don't have to use the alarm clock, but when I do it's all the way across the room, so zero. Once I am up to turn it off I am up for good.

2.How many cousins do you have? First cousins? I am thinking 13, maybe more. two of them have died or it would have been 15. Well.. That's on my Mom's side. I have no idea on my fathers side. I have a lot of second causin's, more than I can count. They are actually closer to my age since my Mom had me late..

3.How many bones have you broken? Two.. My ankle and my toe..

4.How many pairs of shoes do you own? Umm.. Like 20 or more.. I would have to go count for sure and that isn't happening.

5.How many things that belong in the kitchen are in your bedroom? That sounds very dirty.. None that I know of..

I don't even know where I learned that word, but it's the first thing that popped in my head at the time.

I Am Coffee, Hear Me Roar! (the bean's perspective)

by Neill Bultman

"I am the bean
That brings caffeine
To every fiend
That's on the scene

From Katmandu
to downtown Reno...
From coffee (black)
To cappacino.

I open eyes
And grease the tongue.
I soothe the old
And move the young.

I am coffee.
Hear me roar!
Drink me - now -
So you can soar!

So, keep on drinking
Won't you please?
Cause' I'm the cure
To your disease.

Sufficient grounds
To swill my juice?
Don't want to hear
Your lame excuse.

Don't have to listen
To what this says
Just ask my dad -
He's Juan Valdez."

1.When you travel, what kinds of souvenirs do you like to bring home for yourself?I guess it depends on where it is and the theme behind the trip... but usually something local: shot glasses, a T-shirt, etc...

2.Is there a certain kind of souvenir you always bring back for a particular someone? not really- I don't travel anymore like I used to

3.Of the souvenirs you’ve collected from your travels, what are some that have special meaning for you? Going through the mountains of Arkansas I bought a bunch of "Arkansas Diamonds" (crystals) for my mom years ago.

4.What’s the silliest souvenir you’ve brought back for yourself, or what’s the silliest souvenir someone has brought back for you? About 25lbs. of Mardi Gras beads- I only actually bought one necklace and the rest were thrown and caught.

5.If you were going to send someone a souvenir from places you visited today, what might it be? It depends on the person and the place I guess.

I'll Try Some Coffee, Please
by Julian Bravo

Nobody touches my cheeks,
Two strong legs to kick,
Over the horizon I can see,

I'll try some coffee, please,
Is it better stirred?
Lots of sugar for me,
And by the way,
Let me indulge myself with cheese,

Decision mine,
I'll have all the cream,
That was my whole dream...
