(This was originally posted as a myspace blog in 2006. Ya know, I liked myspace. I was sad when Facebook won. Myspace let you express yourself more. Let you have your own blog. And there were always these fun surveys that your friends wrote and posted. I pretty much always did them, but this is one of the ones that I posted. Posting this now because... I don't know. I've updated my answers in red.
I always do
these survey thingies cause they're a bit therapeutic... I just never post
em'... I liked this one... Not proofread, so excuse the mistakes...
1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
A great story involving a pull up bar, and my propensity to be as Asian as possible with a potential weapon... Got a great scar on the bridge of my nose.
My current favorite scar is the one on the outside of my left hand. I got it when I was cleaning the bar at Olive Garden. I just like the placement of it.
2.WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM?
Superman cape, Rocky posters... sadly my Olive Garden employee of the month thing from 2000... when i liked working there more... And pictures of my best friends and Bailey.
Superman cape (sentimental value), Captain America shield, assorted posters... Fixing to grow up aaaaany decade now.
3. DO YOU SNORE, GRIND YOUR TEETH OR TALK IN YOUR SLEEP?
I think so, loudly, and sometimes if I'm dreaming. I remember I was dreaming that there was some guy in our backyard at the window, and i screamed in the dream and aloud for him to "get the hell out!"... I share thin walls with a 10 year old... That had to have been great.
I really didn't answer the question there... I think I snore and grind my teeth. I recently yelled in my sleep because I was dreaming one of my nieces was being abducted, and I was trying to scream but couldn't in the dream. I woke myself up with that one.
4. WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO?
A lil' bit o' everything... Not so much country or techno... but some.
About the same. I've also hit that age where I don't really give a shit about new artists.
5. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?
Sometime after the A-Team... That's apparently when my mom went into Labor... after A-Team...
Yes! I was born at exactly 9:48pm. True story, I asked my mom for my birth certificate recently... to ya know... make sure I can run for President. Actually, it was to see if my blood type was on there. It wasn't.
6. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?
Peace o' mind/a good night's sleep
Peace of mind still... or going the opposite direction, to meet someone worth going head over heals for.
And to stop being in so much physical pain. Getting old... Back hurts, left knee hurts...
Also to be able to fly.
7. WHAT DO YOU MISS?
Looking forward to tomorrow... Tomorrow as a metaphor and not the literal "tomorrow." Literally, tomorrow, I'm going to work, and I can usually get away from thinking by working... Oh, and I really miss how I used to have a lot more hair...
My dog Bailey. He passed away in January.
8. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION(S)?
Sense of humor?... General intelligence? Naw... I have the best dog in the world.
Well, damn... I really didn't read on to this question, so that kinda hurts.
They're not really MY prized possessions, but I have the best nieces in the world.
For someone who spends a lot of money on crap, I'm really not that materialistic.
9. HOW TALL ARE YOU?
5 foot tall for an Asian, and I'm still unsure about how tall I am.
Same.
10. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC?
That question kinda made me claustrophobic.... Weird...
No, I like enclosed spaces... ladies.
I probably am if we're talking about being buried alive. Internet and friends with grudges, that is still my biggest fear. Please don't bury me alive.
11. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DARK?
Naw, I like the dark
No. I'm still that asshole that will inspect the spooky noise in the dark.
12. THE LAST PERSON TO MAKE YOU CRY?
Mommy? I don't know... I think the last time I cried-cried was at my godmother's funeral.
My family at Bailey's funeral. I've never cried so much in my life. Rough week.
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE COLOGNE FOR A BOY?
Oh, "for a boy?" Just the sweet smell of sweat and cookies... Wow, I'm totally going to jail for that one... I wear Candies if I wear.
Okay, that was funny. No cologne for me.
14. WHAT KIND OF HAIR/EYE COLOR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX?
I'm totally going back to blondes... I'm sorry, in the record of Jack being sad, blondes have done the least damage... and most of that was HS, and that doesn't count cause we're all sad in HS...
Hmm... Ya know, I've always had a weird fascination with redheads, but I've never really liked (let-alone dated) a redhead.
Brunettes are the devil... Just... Yall are the devil.
15. WHERE CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF PROPOSING?
Olive Garden... totally... family table... No, I don't know. It depends on the lady.
Depends on the lady.
16. COFFEE OR ENERGY DRINK?
Special coffees?
I guess.
17. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PIZZA TOPPING?
Sausage... as I sit next to a stuffed crust pepperogny... I don't know how to spell it so I went with the most bizarre and implausible way that can still be recognized.
Pepperoni and bacon on a thin crust..
18. IF YOU CAN EAT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Umm... more pizza?
I want pizza now.
20. HAVE YOU EVER EATEN A GOLDFISH?
No, but I thought about it... twice
I'm pretty sure I interpreted that as a literal goldfish...which I still haven't eaten.
21. WHAT WAS THE FIRST GIFT SOMEONE EVER GAVE YOU?
I don't remember, but as of right now the gift that I'll always remember because it was totally random and out of the blue and came from people that genuinely cared was a cookie bouquet from some folks in HS... I took pictures... I was wicked sad, and they really tried to cheer me up...
The first gift that I ever remember receiving was a Rubber Ducky for Christmas. I think I was 4. I remember being incredibly disappointed. I might have even stopped believing in Santa after that.
22. DO YOU LIKE ANYBODY?
Umm... I kinda hate just about everybody right now?
1. Little crushes get me through the workday. Little ones. Still waiting to meet someone worth... something.
2. Jeez, who bothered me in 2006? Was it the Three Sisters? For those that don't know, I once knew these three sisters who I absolutely adored. They used me and stopped talking to me after I declined investing in a real-estate venture. It was a weird, fun time. There were trampolines and smoothies and... yeah. They were fascinatingly weird. And it also let me have a story that I call "The Three Sisters."
Like Dracula.
23. ARE YOU DOUBLE JOINTED?
Nope
Nope... Does someone who is holding two joints say they're double jointed? Is that a thing?
24. FAVORITE CLOTHING BRAND?
Doesn't matter... If it looks good, I like.
Same. Though I seem more likely to own and wear it if it has the Superman symbol on it. It's kind of absurd.
26. DO YOU HAVE A PET RIGHT NOW?
Yes, Bailey
Ouch. There are animals at this house, but I wouldn't cop to owning them.
27. WHAT KIND IS IT?
The greatest dog ever... Not well trained, not well behaved, but he makes me smile...
Well, this survey is gonna give me a nervous breakdown... Jesus. I almost had one when Chris Pratt was holding that dying Brontosaurus (?) in Jurassic World.
28. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING?
I kinda hate everybody right now?
No. Errr, maybe. I've been stupid lately.
29. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU?
When ya can't hold it in anymore... or surprises are fun... or a Tattoo.
Actions... words... I seriously once looked into skywriting which is like actions and words at the same time... and I still really wanna get a star named after someone.
30. SAY A NUMBER FROM ONE TO A HUNDRED.
7... or wait, outloud? Kay...
13
31. BLONDES OR BRUNETTES?
back to blondes... just gotta find a good one.
Ugh, it doesn't matter.
32. WHAT IS THE ONE NUMBER YOU CALL OFTEN?
The sister
Haha... "Call"
Prolly Work?
33. WHAT ANNOYS YOU MOST?
The inconsiderate and closed minded... and the self-centered
Still these... Add flaky. My biggest pet peeve is flakiness. I guess that falls under inconsiderate.
34. HAVE YOU BEEN OUT OF THE USA?
Europe and Asia
Not since the last time I wrote this.
35. YOUR WEAKNESSES?
Bad back... umm... knees are kinda fucked up too... BAD vision...
Vision still sucks. Hearing isn't as good as it used to be. Body frequently hurts...
36. MET ANYONE FAMOUS?
I've met people who are gonna be famous.
In the last 365 days, I've "met" Neil Patrick Harris, Ted Neely, Dan Harmon, and Nick Offerman.
37. FIRST JOB?
Olive Garden host... in 1999... Wow...
Same.
38. EVER DONE A PRANK CALL?
Not lately... It's funny, if someone called my house and asked, "is your refrigerator running?", I'd go, "No," and then we'd have an awkward silence cause my fridge is broken.
Not lately.
39. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED OUT THIS?
Nothing worth mentioning.
"Working" I'm working as I'm doing this to pass the time.
40. HAVE YOU EVER HAD SURGERY?
No
A minor one on my left arm. Long story that was partly/mostly due to my own stupidity. Something weird was happening to my arm, so I tried to perform a minor surgery on myself with a needle, nail clippers, fire, and a razor blade... It got more infected... It was dumb.
41. HAVE YOU GOTTEN YOUR WISDOM TEETH REMOVED?
No
No.
42. WHAT DO YOU GET COMPLIMENTED ABOUT MOST?
Umm... I suck at taking compliments, so I think that's why people stopped giving em'... Right... No, i don't know... I think it's the sense of humor?
Sense of humor... Good gift giver... Pretty strong. My ability to Uncle.
43. HAVE YOU EVER HAD BRACES?
no... obviously
still no...
44. WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?
I have a great birthday "plan" that involves a SA trip to see the Mavs play on Wednesday, the Heat play on Friday, dinner at The Tower of Americas and a trip to the zoo... oh, and the opera is in town earlier that week... I just want to be around good people... I hate my birthday... My birthday's always let me down... except twice... First blog I ever wrote was about how much I hate my birthday.
- Peace of mind. Last year, I over-planned and was let down by all the shit that fell through. This year, I want simple. I'm gonna buy an expensive bottle of scotch and drink it.
- Huh, I wonder if any of that happened. I think I made it up to the Tower of the Americas that year with two of the Three Sisters. I don't think I saw a game.
45. HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT?
more than 1, less than infinity
Sticking with that answer.
46. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
my godfather, Colonel Jack Callaway
And proud of it.

Still do.

Took my car to get fixed... not gonna be done for a couple days... had a mini Veronica Mars marathon (which is a pretty good show) and ate pizza... and wallowed...
I am working.

The kind that's supposed to hide the balding head... and doesn't.
Yeah.
50. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Only when i write in caps
Same
51. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
roast beef
Same
52. ANY BAD HABITS?
I eat a lot... I don't sleep at night... and I "give entirely too much" of myself as a close friend once said... which seems to be more and more true the more i think about it...
Ooh, this is interesting. Current bad habits: I still eat too much junk food (though not as much), I sleep a bit better, I'm starting to get really dumb/hilarious with money (and yet I paid off my car early)... and I can be a dick. I hold grudges and assume the worst of people.
53. WHAT IS YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING CD ON THE SHELF?
Might embarrass less manly men who aren't comfortable with their sexuality, but my Elton John's Greatest Hits 2-disc collection does not embarrass me...
Haha... "CD" Yeah, Proud to say that I've become too old to be embarrassed by things I like.
54. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
Prolly not... Too picky...and I already got the token, overweight, Asian guy thing...
Yes but mostly over social media and on Saturdays when we'd play basketball. I'd imagine I'd have a love-hate relationship with myself.
55. FAVORITE NICKNAME FROM A SEINFELD EPISODE?
I have no idea what that means... Jerry?
Yeah, I was never a big Seinfeld guy.
56. DO LOOKS MATTER WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX?
Yeah
Yes. I'm embarrassingly and confusingly shallow.
57. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER?
Driving... basketball or hitting the heavybag... writing?.. not so much... I seem to get more pissed off when I write... Pound the keys harder and faster...
Dang... I don't drive as much as I used to, don't play basketball as much as I used to, and I haven't hit the heavybag in years. (changing that soon!) I spend time with the nieces. That seems to comfort me. Oh, and if I do drive, singing songs that require yelling. "Best of You" is therapy even if I can't speak normal for the next few days.
58. WHERE IS YOUR SECOND HOME?
Ironically at my first home... or the first place I called home... the folks' house... Did I use "ironically" correctly there?
I STILL don't know how to use "ironically" or whether I did it right there. 2nd home... Prolly still my first home.
59. WHO IS YOUR FAMOUS ACTOR/ SINGER CRUSH?
Currently diggin' Kristen Bell from Veronica Mars... The girl is adorable... and blonde.
Aww, I still do like her. Not sure if they count as famous by Willa Holland and Danielle Panabaker from Arrow and The Flash. Paige from wrestling (She's like, if The Kills had a daughter, and she decided to be a professional wrestler), broadway star Sierra Boggess. Anna Kendrick.

Some sort of action figure.
Some sort of action figure.

Not so much lately... Now the humor is random and offensive...
Not really.
64. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A MOSH PIT?
Something like that...
Something like that.
65. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY/GIRL?
Good smile, good laugh... wow, this question is infinitely hard right now cause all i wanna do is talk about things I don't wanna talk about, but that's what i look for... hooray for vague!
Still a sucker for a good smile and laugh, but I really want to meet someone with a sense of adventure... and fearlessness. I still think about how me and the vegetarian's first date took us to San Antonio. We were two look-before-you-leap kids who had a "let's just see what happens" attitude. I really liked that.
66. WHAT ARE YOUR NICKNAMES?
Superman, the great jaxby, Jay (mostly 'cause people at work tend to call me Jay and Jay, Jack), and the two I hear on the basketball court: yella (when i wear the yella shorts) and "My Nigga Jack" 'cause of the one time I was on fire and this guy goes, "That's my nigga jack! that's my nigga jack!"... "On fire as in i couldn't miss and not literally on fire... although sadly, that'd work too...
Superman, the Great Jaxby, Jake (my sister started calling me that, and it just stuck), Uncle, Unco, a-DAH!,
I nicknamed my fists Rodgers and Hammerstein.
67. WHATS YOUR FAVORITE BAND/SINGER?
Weezer... Though i just bought the new Audioslave, but it's in my jeep so I'll lecha know how it is in about a 5 working days
Well, that's weird... I woulda thought I was on the Jack White train by then.
Currently, I'm on a Foo Fighters kick.
68. WHATS YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW?
Currently?... House M.D. All time? Buffy.
Wow, I once thought House was a favorite show?! That's bizarre.
Still the Joss Whedon shows, Showing love to Parks and Rec., The Office, and I just love having How I Met Your Mother playing in the background.
69. WHAT WAS YOUR ACT/SAT SCORE?
Hell I don't know... I coulda done better, but the girl who I crushed on since 5th grade was sitting in front of me, and I rushed to finish so we could play around... Fuck yall, I went to college at the only college i applied for, so it was apparently good enough.
Apparently I will never stop telling this story.

I swear this question happened earlier... Right now, I miss, the most... , Fuck, right now I miss nothing and just wanna be left alone to wallow... Or my car... I miss my car.
Yeah, past-Jack, we did have this question earlier. Also, buck up, past-Jack.
74. WHATS THE FASTEST YOU HAVE GONE IN A CAR?
I think the better story is how we went down 35 going over 100mph in a van that can seat 7 and we had 8 people in it.

The face?... if they have all their fingers and toes? i'm a sucker for a smile... I'm sorry, i don't have that much going for me looks-wise, but I can make most people smile.
Prolly that same answer... although I'm definitely cockier than I used to be. "Don't have that much going for me looks-wise," my ass.
80. FAVORITE THOUGHT PROVOKING SONG?
...Where is thumpkin?... Cause seriously, where is he? Oh! There he is! And there's another? And what are they saying? Are they talking in code?!?!... And now they're running away!!! Thumpkin...
I think I've reached the point that this is starting to be dumb.
81. FAVORITE THING TO HATE?
The world... the sun... time... everything... Ooh, I like that last one... it's kinda fun to hate everything cause then you're funny... like... Grr... I hate paper towels or... I hate ketchup packets... Bitching can be annoying and funny.
Almost 10 years, and I'm actually tired of hating things... Growth?
Although it's still funnier to hate things...
Some of my favorite moments are when I'm with a friend, and we just hate things together. One of my favorite memories this year was watching a couple from a balcony, and they wouldn't stop it with their selfie stick...and me and Lauren couldn't stop laughing at them. I still hate them.
82. FAVORITE MONTH OF THE YEAR?
December, May and January have typically been good to me... September and April seem to suck... and I'm oddly indifferent to February...
December, January, and May... Recently realized that July is the sweeps week.in the TV season of my life, Lots of big changes and surprises seem to happen in July.

Holy shit, I used the n word! It flowed from my mental-mouth like water. Wow. I don't know if I'd do that anymore.
87b. EVER BEEN IN JAIL?
only in monopoly... but me and the chief of police are cool... i get out of jail free... Anyone think it's weird that if you gamble (roll doubles) you get out of jail?
Yes! Just went on a field trip to one! For my job! It was so much weird fun. And I swear to God, it started with a little person (an asshole would say "midget") on crutches. I thought he was gonna be our tour guide. He wasn't.
88. SIBLINGS?
An older sister
Yeah
91. LAST THING YOU WATCHED?

Maybe Christmas? Everything is happy and hopeful at Christmas
