If you could only listen to one song for the next...
I don’t think I could choose just one song. I can tell you the songs I’ve listened to on repeat recently have been “Again, Again” by Lady Gaga, “Bloodbuzz Ohio” by the National “Little Lyin’ Man” by Mumford & Sons and “Ridin’ in my Car” by She & Him. Oh, and I’ve re-discovered “The Last Song” by...

Have you ever been fired? If so, why?
This is a complicated question. Yes, I was “let go” but I’m not sure you can say I was “fired.” It was at a restaurant in and I wasn’t given a reason for being terminated, although I suppose the new manager could’ve had a reason. Either way, it was just a restaurant and he let go a bunch of other people before me because he wanted to work with his friends....

Jersey Kids
Bryan: People from Jersey are the worst, by the way. They always have to tell you they aren't from the "bad" part of Jersey.
Amiekay: Haha. I read that out loud...
Bryan: I feel bad, so let me explain myself. It's like someone from Beijing saying they aren't from the "communist" part of China.

What if you want to switch jobs?
My major criticism of the Senate’s recent Jobs Bill — what about those people who are trying to switch jobs in this tough economy? Isn’t providing businesses tax breaks for hiring unemployed workers sort of hindering those people who want to move, change careers, advance, etc.?

My Destiny Number is 9?
I just spent an hour looking into numerology for fun. And I’ve concluded it’s bullshit.
For instance, I can’t figure out my destiny number because I had a name on my birth certificate, a name I went by, and a name my mom told me was my full name. Guess what? They all have different numbers attached to them! On top of that I renamed myself at 15 and that name has a completely...

How to Succeed
It really bothers me when people who lie, cheat, and steal are successful in life. Especially those who I know have no remorse for their actions; if it benefits them, the ends always justifies the means.
In a fair world, those who care about the lives of others would be rewarded. However, as we all know, this world isn’t fair, and here selfishness is the way to play the game. Caring only...
