What do you complain about the most?

Complaining is a pointless act, if you don’t like something change your situation or take action to make it more amenable. I truly believe that there is no reason to moan and complain because I always have a choice to change myself or the situation.

What are your favorite sports to watch and play?

I don’t live and die by the game but enjoy watching the Packers play especially with my son who is a diehard Cheese Head.

What would you do if you won the lottery?

If my chance I were to win a lottery no one would know I won. First I would receive the winnings under a LLC and the proceeds would instantly go into a trust that would pay out to me a set amount every month. I would not quit working or start buying expensive toys. I would in the words of a friend have ‘Fuck You’ money and have to ability to just walk away from a bad situation without thinking twice about it.

What books do you want to read?

I read a lot and there are always new titles I want to read but what I would like to do is reread things I read before but read them like it’s the first time. Classics like ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’, ‘ Moby Dick’, ‘The Great Gatsby’… all titles I have read many times but to read them like it is the first time again would be amazing.

Write about a few of your favorite family traditions.

When my dad went back into the military in 1980 we moved away from paternal family and any loose traditions dissolved. I have been away from my family since college and never had a desire to participate in any gatherings. When I was married I did spend more time participating in my wife’s families events but now divorced those things have been forgotten. I am trying to start a father son tradition of going to a Green Bay Packers game every year but due to finances that hasn’t happened yet but hopefully it will, we started by going to a game for my sons 18th birthday and I hope it will be an annual event.

What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?

That’s hilarious, leisure time is like spare change I don’t have either one.

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

Have lived in Arizona for 13 years and haven’t yet been to the Grand Canyon.

List five things you do for fun.

Can’t say at the moment I do anything for fun, I write for catharsis and mental clarity, not fun. I enjoy driving but it’s a necessity that I don’t mind doing. I don’t have a bunch of people around me that I participate in events with or have hobbies that would be fun, I unfortunately exist day to day and fun hasn’t been a factor in my life for a long time.

If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?

We have far more to learn from our pets they they do from us… I wish we could love as unconditionally as our pets do and I feel that they understand us more than we want to admit.

Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.

Dwain means “dark” or “swarthy,” and is an alternative version of Duane and Dwayne, with Duane originally being an Irish surname. This boy’s name comes from the Irish word dubh, which means “black.” With Dwain, you can pay homage to any Irish heritage with a name that feels both familiar as well as unusual.

I continually get confused looks because I am a tall white guy and with the name Dwain I not what is expected.🤣🤣
