Let's suppose that Otin was a famous person and was asked to do an interview for a popular magazine, it would probably go something like this....
Here at ARMCHAIR MAGAZINE we have the pleasure of a rare sit down interview with the man that the world knows as OTIN. In a category with one name icons such as MADONNA,CHER, and PRINCE, Otin has been a recluse these past few years. We sat down with him at his North Carolina home.
AMC: Nice to meet you Otin, shall we call you Otin?
OTIN: You can call me Michael, Otin is just a leftover name I used on the last computer that I had.
AMC: You say that you are not very good with a computer, why is that?
OTIN: In my entire life, I've got about 8 months experience on a computer. I look at other peoples blogs and have no idea how they do some of the things that they do.
AMC: How did you figure out what you've been doing.
OTIN: I just experiment alot and if I get stuck I ask someone, but I'd rather figure it out on my own.
AMC: You grew up in NJ and ended up in NC, yet you say you miss NJ, how did you end up in NC?
OTIN: I was working construction for my Mother and Stepfathers business, and was not being treated well, so I took a trip to NC to visit some relatives and here I am. I needed some seperation at the time, but I now miss my childhood home.
AMC: Construction huh? You seem fairly intelligent, how did you end up in the blue collar world?
OTIN: I was college bound all the way, had the grades, a free ride, but I just got burned out on school, and I thought I knew everything. I was too stubborn to move back home and go to school, I think it was because of my stepfather at the time.
AMC: You've mentioned Stepfathers, your parents were both remarried?
OTIN: My parents have made a mockery of marriage, they have eight between them. My childhood was messed up.
AMC: It has been documented that you are an atheist, is this true?
OTIN: Yea, I never had the ability to believe in a higher power.
AMC: Did your parents introduce you to religion?
OTIN: They tried, I went to sunday school for awhile, but I just never could feel anything for it.
AMC: How do you feel about religious people?
OTIN: I envy people that have faith in something. When I was young I used to like to debate people about religion, but then I grew up and realized that their belief is something special. The only time that I get annoyed is when people feel sorry for me, I can repect their beliefs, they should be able to accept mine.
AMC: So I take it that you are pro abortion?
OTIN: Pro abortion is such a stupid term. No one is happy about aborting children. To an atheist life is precious because that is all there is. It is a sad thing when someone gets an abortion, but I don't think that anyone should be able to tell a woman what she can or cannot do with her own body.
AMC:What do you think about the death penalty?
OTIN: I hate the death penalty! If just one person is wrongly convicted, then its not a penalty, it's state sponsored murder. How can you guarantee that convictions are correct 100% of the time. There was an HBO movie years ago called "Someone's got to shoot the picture", it was very sad.
AMC: On to lighter subjects, what kind of music do you like?
OTIN: I'll listen to anything except rap, to me rap is not music. I lean more towards hard rock, but also love the 60's music. Sometimes, when I drive someplace, I'll listen to heavy metal on the drive there, and I'll listen to classic country on the way home.
AMC: Why do you like blogging?
OTIN: I like meeting interesting people, without really meeting them, if you know what I mean. People are very free and honest with their opinions, there are humor blogs, personal blogs, and informative blogs. I like seeing what other people think about subjects, and I like letting people know what I am thinking. It's like having friends without the baggage.

I LOVE this post! Very creative way to let us know more about you,( I may borrow it sometime, if u don't mind) like how you wound up in NC. I was wondering about that. And I think your blog looks terrific. Now, I'm someone who has no idea what I'm doing!
Wow! 8 marriages for mom & dad?? Let me guess - you've never been married? :)

WOW your life is SO much better than mine you have no idea. you should be HAPPY. :) seriously
nice interview! can't wait to read the next part.
How about karma? I definitely think that comes around. If I am in an off mood and not the nicest to one of my students, something always gets me. I like building up Karma points by doing nice things whenever I can. Sometimes I have to cash them all in when I get myself into trouble.
