What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?

I always prefer for some live event to be streaming in the background as ambience when I am at home, mostly sports.

When the Olympics are on I keep a constant stream of the games on my TV. It doesn’t matter what sport it is I just watch it.

Amazed by the athleticism and competitiveness of others, I indulge in every event just to vicariously experience it.

If I really had to pick a favorite, it would be Woman’s Beach Volleyball.

Don’t judge me, I can explain.

Of course I watch it for the woman but as I watch it I get over that interest and begin to appreciate the sport and at some point I stop paying attention to my attraction to the woman and begin to invest more interest in the sport.

I don’t feel that I need to explain myself any further.

However if both Winter and Summer Olympics are valid in this question then my real favorite Olympic Sport is Snowboarding Halfpipe.

You do any job for free nowadays?

What job would you do for free?

I was thinking about “what job I would do for free” and I realized that I do a lot of jobs for free and I have done many jobs for free.

What is the difference between a job, an obligation and gratitude?

A job is something that you don’t do for free.

Obligation is something you do automatically.

Gratitude is something that you do out of love or appreciation.

If you work a job for free are you really working a job or is it obligation or gratitude? And in that case you’re not doing it for free you’re doing it for yourself.

Everything must lead to something therefore there is no job that you would do for free.

Because anything is worth something to someone.

On a lighter note, the job that I would do for free is Batman.

How would you improve your community?

Everyone has a voice, everyone has a story.

We are the people!

I would help the community by telling the people’s story, one by one if I have too. I don’t want to know what the politics say and what the media tells you.

I want your stories from you…

The only way to help the community is by letting people know that you exist.

Because we are the people.

I can improve the community with awareness, that we are the people.

I’ve known victims that still love their abusers, I’ve known the proud and all of their users.

But their story was never told, their struggles and successes not put on a platform to behold… they only get old.

We are the people and there is nothing we can do about it. It seems you are doomed to be forgotten.

But we are the people.

I would improve the community by making the people’s voice clear for everyone to hear.

I always wanted a Podcast or a Reality show where I just explore other people’s lives, learn about their family, upbringing, their life. But at the same time I want to ask them what they want to say about those moments in their life where they experienced indifference, and tell them to “shit or get off the pot.”

I want to improve the community by celebrating honesty.

Because we are the people and one voice does not speak for us all.

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

Before Covid-19 I worked at a Radio Station. I was a producer, YouTuber, blogger and mascot for the station. Although I did not get paid much it was a dream job for me and it made me feel like I had my foot in the door.

During Covid-19 I lost that job.

After Covid-19 I struggled with depression, went from job to job that I did not want and made me feel like I was wasting my potential.

Then I started cosplaying Hank Hill from King of the Hill in Propane Man Confidential.

Now my videos are are viewed by millions, getting numbers that not even the Radio Stations Social Media accounts get.

I am rising from the ashes of my old world.

I adjust to life after COVID by never giving up, reinventing my self and soaring beyond the world that I knew.

I also wash my hands a lot more.

I did not let Covid-19 defeat me and I am stronger and smarter now then I was before.

I have adapted to the changes after Covid-19 by rising above them.

Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?

Everyone is unique.

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was five I wanted to be He-Man when I grew up.

Wield a powerful sword, have adventures with friends with unique abilities and fight Skeletor.

I was a very ambitious five year old.

What makes you laugh?

Those moments that make no sense and the ones that make complete sense.

When I was a kid in the 80’s I was hanging out with my older brother and neighbor who was also older standing infront of his house.

He went inside looking for his Mom to ask her a question, his Mom’s name was Sue.

He asked his Sister “Where is Sue?”

And his sister screamed “SHE IS IN THE BATHROOM!!!!”

My brother and I laughed so hard that we cried.

It still makes me laugh to this day.

I can laugh at anything but I only really laugh at those moments.

What do you wish you could do more every day?

I call myself Dan America because my name is Dan and I was born in America.

During my adolescent and teenage years I was obsessed with my Scottish and Irish heritage and identified by my heritage.

Eventually I learned that my obsession did not matter to the Scottish and Irish and to them I was an American.

I became comfortable with my identity as an American, but at the same time I began to ask myself “Why aren’t people proud to be an American?”

It does not matter to the rest of the world if you are Scottish, Irish, French, German, Italian, African, Asian, Indian, Hispanic, Spanish or whatever.

If you were born and raised then you are an American to the rest of the world.

That is why I want to create content that makes Americans proud of being an American.

I want to tell my American story as I tell other Americans, American story.

In hopes that it will enrich the American experience.

That is what wish I could do everyday.

How has technology changed your job?

It took my dream job away and left me to claw my way back toward my dream before I could even see the light.

Technology has also made it easier to claw my way back so I am indifferent.

It can destroy you or make you.

It all depends on how you use it and how willing you are to learn it.

What’s something most people don’t understand?

Americans do as Americans do when in America.

American life is just like any other.

Media and Politics may seem to make it look like something else but it is not.

We are just Americans born in America.

Raised in the Suburbs, the City and the Country.

But we all watched Saturday Morning Cartoons, we all know who the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are.

Hulk Hogan told us to say our prayers and eat our vitamins.

We know who the Bad Guys and the Good Guys are.

One person does not represent all of us but we have a collective consciousness of what is good and evil because of cartoons and. Omicron Books.

I worked at a Starbucks in 2013 as a Cashier. I recall a conversation between a Customer and a Barista.

The Customer had just gotten back from Italy and kept raving on about how cultured Italy was. I felt a sense of resentment because I feel that America posses as much culture as Italy.

It made me think of how I identified as Irish or Scottish when I was younger as if not being an American was “cool.”

Americans don’t want to identify as Americans because they think that it will affect their Social Status.

But being an American and celebrating American culture is something to be proud of.

What people don’t understand about America is the anxiety that comes with being yourself as an American.
