Interview Marcus "The Ranter" Vol. 2

Vol. 2 

"LETS GET IT!"

This interview was conducted

by my dear friend

Myla Seabrook

Q: If there was a zombie apocalypse, what exactly would you do? Is there anything/one you'd try to save?
A: Well, first off, during a zombie apocalypse, you cant really save anyone, we've all witnessed this in movies, you can be at work, come home, and find out your wife and 3 kids are all zombies, there really is no chance to save anyone, so, with that said, if one were to actually occur, I would take a brief look around my room, gather anything that can be a weapon, create a few weapons with what I have, find somewhere to get posted, and wait for the zombies to come to me.  The best part when playing Left 4 Dead 2, is being able to place yourself in a corner and rack up kills.

Q: It's your last meal. What are you eating?
A: Spaghetti, made by me, and a carton of Minute Maid Berry Punch to wash it down.

Q: What are your most prized possessions?, three material, and three non-material
A: I dont think that highly of anything I've purchased really, but, just for the sake of listing.  Material: My masks, my camera, my gadgets/electronics/technology-related-items, Non-material: my personality, my heart, my surrogate (this body).

Q: When you get all rich and famous and forget that you're still Marcus From the Block, would you want someone to write a book about your life story? What would the title be?
A: I dont think I'll be rich AND famous, I've never been popular, I don't ever see it happening.  I always imagine, it'd be nice to have my family and friends be on those "VH-1 Behind the music" shows, but I have no idea what they would be saying, I dont have too many friends or family that really understand me and know enough of my life story to tell like that, but if I became rich and famous, I don't think I'd want anyone to write a book about me, but it would be nice, I can imagine the title being something simple, like..."Just A Man."

Q: What do you think the world's future will be like? Will people as a whole get worse, or do you think worldwide peace is on the horizon?
A: I think its going to get a lot worse, the way technology is advancing and all, and there will be a great collapse, I have faith in this generation and future generations, there will be a revolution, but when it happens, it will definitely be needed, and then, we can start all over again.

Q: Afterlife: yes or no? Why or why not?
A: I have theories that are yet to be solidified in my mind about the afterlife, but yes, there is an afterlife.  I have one theory where, we are free to create our own world, or choose the world we want to live in.  Sometimes when we share our views with each other, I think its being accounted for, and one day when we die, you'll see it all take place.  I believe its possible for you to just, start all over, maybe another planet, in another galaxy, you practically live the same life but you end up making different choices, something small, like you decide to skip recess one day in school, and that expands your life by 20 years.  I have another theory, probably my most interesting one, when people die, their souls are sent to certain human entities, immediately.  Like, have you ever wondered why/how some people change?  I think our souls/spirits move around more than we think, someone you may have known all your life, suddenly changes, is it possible their soul/spirit was taken over? or switched with someone else's?  When we lose people in our life, we know so much about who they are physically, that we tend to not let them go, like the way they smiled, how they felt when you hugged them, etc., but I don't think people ever think, there's a possibility that, their spirit could've easily migrated into someone who is already in their life, or soon will be.  Think about someone close to you, you've lost, and think about people you're close with now, I know there's some similarities.  I told you they have yet to be solidified, so if that made no sense, don't blame me, blame my brain, lol.

More interviews coming soon!

Stay Tuned!

Peace and mo Old Navy Fleece!

Interview Marcus "The Ranter" Vol. 1

"When you mess with Good Burger, YOU, go in the grinder!!"

That quote has nothing to do with this interview, but, here we go!  

This first interview was conducted by my good friend

Andrea Crawford.

Q: Where does your love of Technology come from?
A: Well it all started as a young infant in my mothers tummy, I over heard the doctor say "he may not make it", so you know what I did?! I FOUGHT MY WAY UP OUT THAT MOFO, lol, no seriously, my mother said birthing me was painless, which means I'm special [blushing].  Anyway.  My love for Technology, Gadgets, and Electronics and all that stuff, started when I was young, I always wanted to know how things work, the cause of the effect, naturally, Science was my favorite subject, but I hated math (they go hand in hand).  So from time to time I would take things apart, and put them back together, fix little things around the house, but when my mom bought my first computer, thats when it really kicked off.  True story, I was on my computer, and it was going slow, so, knowing me I'm like "Light bulb!!", I unhook all the wires, and opened the computer up, I then remembered why it was going so slow, my friend who sold it to me took a stick of RAM out of it, for some odd reason, I took the other stick out just to examine it....but I put it back in backwards, lol, I closed it up, hooked everything back up to it, turned it on, and heard nothing but crackling, I hurried up and turned it off, unhooked everything, and saw smoke coming out the back vent...I thought it was gonna blow up so I didn't touch it for a while.  When I finally decided to open it up, I saw the stick of RAM was fried!... hasn't happened to me since...learn by experience


Q: Have you played on every gaming platform ever made? Which one is your favorite and why?
A: There are a LOT of gaming platforms that have been released over the years, someone without knowledge of the number and only know of the popular ones will say they have played them all.  So the answer is, no, I haven't played them all, but I have played a lot of them.  My favorite console, to this day, would have to beeeeee....SNES aka Super Nintendo.  My love for this console is hard to explain, I still have plans of re-buying it, just to have, but I do have a SNES Emulator (basically a computer program that allows you to play all the old school/new school consoles and games) and I'm always firing it up, my favorite game for the SNES would have to be Zelda: A Link to the Past, my brother and I spent soooooo much time trying to beat this game, I don't think we ever beat it, when I got the SNES Emulator, I dedicated myself to it, and finally beat it, and this was like 2-3 years ago lol.


Q: Have you met a famous person? If so, how did you meet them?
A: Ummm, I met Reggie Miller, Cheryl Miller, and their family once.  My father took me, my brother, and our babysitter to Sizzler (we goin siiiiizzzler, we goin siiiiiizzler), our table was sort of toward the back (it was packed that night) by the window.  So there we are, eating our food, my brother looks over, then looks back at me and says "Marcus, dont that dude look like Reggie Miller?", I looked, I say "Yeah older brother....he does look like Reggie Miller" (OK, you got me, I didn't say it like that), then I said "Ask daddy", my brother says "Hey, Father, the one who giveth me life, doesn't that guy look like Reggie Miller?" my father then says "Yeah.....hold on...that IS Reggie Miller man!" lol.  Nice people, he introduced us to the family, my father, being the talkative mofo that he is, made chatter with them until we finished eating, we shook their hands on our way out.


Q: As a Piston Fan, do you think Kuester should be replaced? Who do you think should take his spot?
A: Coach Q isn't really a bad coach, I try to give him credit and look at some of the positive things, but, yes, absolutely, he should be replaced.  There are several coaches out there, a lot of them not willing to come to Michigan though, we could've had Avery Johnson before the Nets picked him up, but they wanted to sign him to like, a 3 year contract, Avery knew it would take longer to get the team together, so he wanted something more like 6 years, and a little more control than what they were giving him, I think he deserved it, Pistons organization thought otherwise.  The first place I'd look is Rick Adleman (Rockets ex-coach), see where he's at and see what his plans are, though the Rockets have missed the playoffs the last 2 years, they also don't have ANY stars, but they were also way over .500, and only missed the playoffs by a couple of games, with a team full of role players.


Q: Your favorite sequel movie, what is it!!!! Tell me now!
A: lol, I have no idea man.  There are a lot of sequel movies I love!  Harold and Kumar 2, Rocky IV, X-Men 2, Spiderman 2, The Punisher 2, Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, Scary Movie 2...I could go on all day, but, if I haaaaad to pick a favorite to watch out of all of those, if there were on TV all at the same time.....I would...not pick a favorite and just watch Tom n' Jerry.

This is the end of the first interview!! 

a success indeed.  

More to come later 

Peace and mo Old Navy Fleece.

Interview Me

Show me what ya got!!

I think I've run out of things to rant about, for now at least, and I've run out of things to tell you guys about me, so, I'm gonna open the floor for questions....THATS RIGHT, EVEN YOU! CAN BE A MILLIONAIRE! (I don't know where that came from dude)  Any who.  I wanna do something like a 4-part interview, all different blog posts, I'll randomly select a couple of my friends to conduct the interviews, they're going to be real interviews too, not "why you aint called me in 2 years?" or "why you cant take yo baby to the doctor" and "whats yo favorite color."  I'm asking for good, interesting questions, do your research, I'm not sure how many, maybe 5, depending on how intriguing the questions are, the answers might be extra long, y'all know how I am lol.  So, get ready, for those of you who want to interview me, just let me know, if this catches on and becomes popular, I'll pick someone to interview me every week! "yaaaaaaay"--Special Ed

In a perfect world....In my mind

That L word (not lesbian...pervert) used to excite me before I fell in it.  Was always so mysterious, saw nothing but hope when I heard it, said it, saw it, felt it.  Now, its almost the exact opposite.  Hopeless, fearful, its just scary...even when I say it to my closest friends, it doesn't roll off the tongue (or off the fingers) the way it used to.  I think I've turned into a typical man when it comes to that word and all it holds.

Damaged from a couple failed relationships here and there, heart breaks from a few friends, disappointments, abandonment.  I'm not blaming anyone, in the end its all my fault, but all of it, has taken a toll on me.  I just want to be alone.  I used to want to get married, have a big family, the whole nine...now, I'll settle for a puppy.  I was always one of those people, that no matter what people did to me, I didn't let it discourage me, I wouldn't let it change me, but one year, it just all came on too heavy, one after another.  It's depressing.  I have a theory, not really a theory, just, a cool idea (aka a theory).

I consider myself to be a good person, for the most part.  Ever since I was little, I always dreamed of meeting that one girl, having a big family, and growing old with her...this is not an average dream for a kid, or even a young adult in high school.  In my mind, in a perfect world, I feel like, genuinely good people, shouldn't have to unnecessarily suffer through life lessons just to obtain certain goals or things they want in life.  I know what it sounds (looks) like, but hear (read?) me out.

We humans tend to look over a lot of little things in life, we're also very hard headed, we have a natural knack for wanting to find out things the hard way, but, there are some people, believe it or not, who just....get it.  We know who these people are, the ones who have shoveled so much crap in their lives, yet they remain positive, continue to watch out for people, continue to work hard to make things happen in their own lives, always appreciative, and they continue to set examples for others, by their way of life, yet...one bad thing after another continues to happen to em', and you want nothing more but for that person to be happy.  Meanwhile.  You have people who are just genuinely not nice at all, you know who they are, the ones who continue to make bad life choices yet they never seem to get punished for it, seems like the punishment falls on the genuinely nice people....I believe we call that a Whipping Boy.  I feel like I've learned unnecessary lessons in my life, like things that have happened that almost make no sense, like, you don't take a car away from someone who gets on their knees every night and morning to thank God for transportation, you take a car away from the selfish spoiled brat who acts as if they are too good to take the bus and they look down on people who do.  In a perfect world, in my mind, thats how it is.

Cutting it short as usual, maybe you've felt this way as well, I'm sure its all for a reason, and I'll be better off without a wife and 10 kids.  lol

Get to Know Me

Just a few random things about me:

Due to putting in thousands of hours in video games, I honestly believe I am prepared for a Zombie Apocalypse.


A floor has an uncanny amount of comfort to me, I sleep there from time to time.


I have playlists on my iPod that include, Rock, Gospel, Rap, R n' B, and Classical.


My dream car has a base price of $25,000.


I'm a Mama's Boy...can you tell?


Like the floor, a couch has an uncanny amount of comfort, I sleep on a futon that I never let out into a bed.


I'm allergic to polyester.


Million Dollar Baby, ALMOST made me cry.


The result of my depression most of the time comes from the way other people live their lives and the choices they make, I have a passion for wanting to save the world and everyone in it.  I know I cant, still getting a grip on that...


There's something about the way women looked back in the days...like 50's-70's, that's hot to me.


People I want to be like: Jesus, Al Bundy, Marlon Wayans, Fresh Prince.


I have a grabber, one of those things lazy (or sick, whatever floats your boat) people use to grab things that are out of their reach...I use it all the time, I lost it once, and almost lost my mind.


I have a favorite song by B2K.


I made a fake internet profile once to look at some hoochies....lol


I'm not a fan of fried chicken, I cant eat it more than 2 times a month, my favorite part....breasts of course, but I love hot wings.

That's it for now....nosey bastards
