IF YOU WERE ON THE LAKE WHAT WOULD YOU BE DAYDREAMING ABOUT?
If I were at the lake, I would probably be daydreaming about wakeboarding. I could just see myself in about 4 years, doing all of the different tricks in midair, while wakeboarding. I would daydream about doing back flips, and or, front flips, and doing 360’s in midair. Another thing I would daydream about would be riding my dirt bike. The same thing would be going through my head, seeing myself in about 4 years, doing tricks off of jumps and stuff. Maybe not back flips or front flips, maybe doing 360’s or whips. So, that’s probably what I would be daydreaming about on the lake.
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU COULDN’T GET ENOUGH OF?
The one thing that I really couldn’t get enough of would be oxygen. I mean, I wouldn’t be able to live if I didn’t get enough of it. Another thing I couldn’t get enough of is money. Man, would I love to have an endless supply of money. Who wouldn’t? Money would be the best thing to not get enough of. Another thing I couldn’t get enough of is food or water. If I didn’t have any food I would starve to death. On the other side, if I didn’t have any water, I would die of thirst. So, if I could have an endless supply of food or water that would be awesome.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE FAVORITE THINGS YOU LIKE TO DO WITH YOUR FAMILY?
Since I don’t really have a family anymore, I’ll just talk about my Mom and Dad separately. Some of the things I like to do with my Mom are watch TV. We also like to play board games. There are a lot of things I like to do with my Dad. We like to go fishing. I really like to go dirt bike riding. We also like to play board games like Risk, Stratego, and Monopoly, all of the strategic board games. I like to play video games with him also. We like to throw the baseball or football around too. There are a lot of things I like to do with my Dad, my Mom not so much, but I still love her.
DESCRIBE THE GREATEST DAY IN YOUR LIFE SO FAR.
The greatest day in my life so far would be the day when I turned 7. My Mom and Dad said, “Hey, we are going to go down south to visit relatives.” We drove to San Luis Obispo and stopped for breakfast at IHOP. While we were in IHOP, my parents told me they were taking me to Disneyland. I didn’t believe them, so they showed me the tickets and that convinced me. I was so excited that when our food came to the table I couldn’t eat. When we finally made it to Disneyland, we were there all day. We got to stay in a hotel and the next day we went to California Adventure. Those two days were the greatest days in my life.
WHO IS YOUR HERO & WHY?
If I were to have a hero I don’t think it would only be one person. I think it would be a lot of people. If I were to have a hero or heroes, it would be the US Army. The reason I say the US Army is because they protect and serve our country. My Uncle is in the US Forces and he just left to Afghanistan in March so that he can patrol and keep order there. The reason the US Army would be my heroes is because that have a lot of courage to leave their friends, family and loved ones to fight and protect not only our country from attacks, but from enemies the United States might have.
IF YOU COULD BE 6 INCHES TALLER OR SHORTER WHICH WOULD YOU PICK & WHY?
If I had to choose, I think I would be 6 inches taller. It would be so cool. I would be able to go on all of the rollercoaster rides!! But there are some bad things about being tall. You would be blocking people’s view at the movies. But if I were taller, I would be 6 feet 2 inches. If I could be six inches shorter I would. I would probably be a lot faster. The problem is that if you’re shorter you can never really see over people in the movies. Also, you can’t ride on any of the big roller coasters because you’re too small. It would also be fun to be shorter.
HAVE YOU OR SOMEONE EVER PULLED A PRACTICAL JOKE?
The only time I have ever pulled a practical joke was when I was little and I wouldn’t even call it a joke. One time, when I was little, I would put this fart machine under the couch and whenever anyone sat down I would click the button and it would make a fart noise. It was funny because when that would happen it would make that person confused. There was one time someone pulled a practical joke on me and it was my Dad. Well, it also happened when I was little. My Dad decided that he wanted to scare me, It was in the morning and I was getting dressed for school.When I opened the door, he was right there with a scary mask on and said, “Bawahahaha!” Well, he scared me so bad I couldn’t even look at him.
WHAT DOES KINDNESS MEAN TO YOU AND DO YOU THINK YOU ARE KIND? WHO DO YOU KNOW THAT IS ALWAYS KIND?
Kindness means to me that I should always be kind to people even if they are having a bad day. I am always trying to be kind, it may not always work, but at least I always try. The person that I know that is always trying to be kind is my Mom. She is always saying something to make people happy even if you are having a bad day. The other person that I know that at least tries to be kind is my Dad. He’s always trying but in the end he will just end up getting mad. He’s never a very happy camper.
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE LEARNED ABOUT LIFE SO FAR?
What I have earned about life so far is that you only live once, so live your life to the best it can be. That you should go out and make something of your life. Don’t fix your mind on one thing, do everything you possibly can do. Another thing that I have learned about life is the golden rule, which is to treat people the way you would want to be treated. I mean, how would you feel if someone treated you the way you’ve treated others. One more thing I have learned is to treat and respect your body. Don’t be doing dangerous stuff that can break your bones. Your body is the thing that keeps you alive; don’t you want to treat it with respect?
IF YOU WERE A MAGICIAN AND COULD CHANGE TWO THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF OR THE WORLD, WHAT WOULD THEY BE?
If I was a magician and I could change two things about myself and or two things about the world, I would choose to change two things about me. One thing I would change is that I would make myself very intelligent. I mean, I’m pretty smart now, I just choose to not use my intelligence. The other thing I would change would be my handwriting. I cannot write very neatly and I would definitely change my writing. If I were to change two things about the world though, I would. One thing I would change would be that I would make sure every child in Africa had breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. The other thing I would change would be the way plastic bags are killing marine animals because that’s just sad.
DESCRIBE YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BEING IN NATURE. IS THERE A PALCE YOU LIKE TO GO AND JUST BE ONE WITH NATURE AND THE PRESENCE OF ITS BEAUTY?
I personally don’t like being in nature. I just don’t care for being in it and the presence of its beauty. To me nature isn’t beautiful; all I see is plants, water, and animals. But since I have to decide on something, I would say that one of the things I like about being in nature is swimming in the lakes and wading in the streams. Another thing I like about being in nature is the silence of everything. No cars, trains or anything to break the silence. That’s why I would pick the mountains to be the place I would go to enjoy nature. It is always so peaceful and quiet up there. I wish for one day that the city of Paso Robles could be silent for once. No noise, just silence.
IF YOU COULD OWN ANY KIND OF TRUCK CAR, OR MOTORCYCLE WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE AND WHY?
If I could have any car it would be a Lambourgini, that’s dark green, almost black but green. I would like to have this kind of car because it is the fastest and most powerful car that I like. Also, it is very flashy and very showoffy. Another vehicle I would like to have would be a motorcycle and it would be a green 600 Suzuki. The reason I would like to have this vehicle would be because it would be one of those weekend drive bikes. The reason I would want a vehicle like these is because they are vehicles that can just go, meaning like they can just take off.
HOW IMPORTANT IS POPULARITY TO YOU? WHEN YOU ARE OLDER DO YOU THINK POPULARITY WILL MATTER?
Popularity doesn’t to me because once you get more popular you start to hang out with the wrong kind of people. Popularity is all about gossip too and I just don’t care. Popularity really isn’t important to me because whether I’m popular or not I’m still Anthony Zanardi and that will never change. When I get older I don’t think popularity will matter to me because I’m not in school anymore so what does it matter. Plus if I have a family I need to worry about them more than anything else. So when I get older popularity won’t matter to me because I don’t care if I’m popular or not.
WHAT DOES THIS QUOTE MEAN TO YOU: DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOUKD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU. DO YOU THINK YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE LIKE THIS, OR DO YOU TREAT PEOPLE POORLY?
This quote means a lot to me because I am one of those people who will give respect to everyone and never get respected back, but you know what, most of the time I won’t ever get respected but there might be someone out there who will respect me. This quote means to always treat people with respect even if you may never be respected back. You should always be respectful to everyone every day, even if they are mean or whatever the case may be. But you should always give as much respect as possible to everyone and everything every day.
WHY DO YOU BELIEVE THIS WORLD NEEDS RULES AND LAWS? ARE THERE ANY RULES YOU WOULD CHANGE AND WHY?
There are a lot of reasons why this world needs rules and laws. One reason and probably the most important reason is that rules and laws help keep order. If there were no rules or laws, the world would be complete chaos. The world would probably be less populated because if there are no rules and or laws some people wouldn’t care and would kill people and not get caught. Another good reason is if there were no rules or laws would be that everything would be stoles. Some people wouldn’t care have anything because everything would be gone. If there would be a law I could change, it would be the law that makes you wear a seatbelt. I think that law should be a choice. You have to wear a seatbelt while in a car but yet you can ride a motorcycle or ride in a bus without a seat belt.
DESCRIBE THE TIME YOU MADE SOMEONE FEEL SPECIAL OR SOMEONE MADE YOU FEEL SPECIAL.
One of the times I made someone feel special was on Mother’s Day when I made breakfast for my Mom. It was just a very simple breakfast, scrambled eggs with bacon, and toast, but you know breakfast is still breakfast, and I gave my Mom a card and I know I made my Mom feel very special that day. One day my Mom and Dad made me feel very special when we went up to a cabin in the mountains and had our very first Christmas in the snow.
WHAT ARE YOUR TALENTS?
I have a lot of talents. I can play the clarinet and I can play the saxophone. I can remember and or memorize a lot of things. I am a great swimmer. I am very good at video games. I can cook some stuff. I can ride a rip stick. A rip stick is like a skateboard with only two wheels. I am athletic. If eating a lot is a talent, then I am VERY good at that. I am a pretty fast runner. I can jump pretty high also. I am a switch hitter in batting. Wow, after about this I have a lot of talents.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING IN THIS WORLD YOU JUST WANT TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND?
The one thing I just want to know is why there isn’t enough money in the school systems. 80 percent of property tax money is supposed to go to the school systems. The California Lottery was designed so that when someone won the pottery a percentage of the money is supposed to go to the school systems. Where is the money and where did it go?? If there is that much money that is supposed to go to the school systems then why is it that teachers are getting cut, there are not supplies for teachers and students, and we have all these furlough days. So yeah, where did all this so called money go that was supposed to go to the school systems. That’s what I want to know.
DESCRIBE ONE OF THE MOST VIVID CHILDHOOD MEMORIES YOU HAVE.
One of the most vivid childhood memories I have would be when my Dad and I walked into Home Depot one day and we saw this guy who looks like he should be in a circus or something. Well anyways, this guy has like a molded face that looks like it’s twisted and stuff, he has a short little stubby baby arm, he’s got a regular arm, one of his legs is shorter than usual and on that short leg ha has on this huge shoe to make his short leg the same length as his regular leg. That way he keeps his balance. Well left arm, the stubby one, has like this weird cell phone on his shoulder. He picks up the phone with his left hand and starts talking. This man I thought was hilarious, but I feel bad for him too. I was only 5 when this happened, but this is the most vivid childhood memory I have.
WHO HAS BEEN THE MOST WONDERFUL FAVORITE TEACHER YOU’VE HAD AT FLAMSON AND WHY?
I think the most wonderful and or my most favorite teacher I’ve had so far would probably be Mr. Galvan. He was the coolest and most awesome teacher I’ve ever had. He would always make jokes. He always made weird and or funny noises. Mr. Galvan could be really mean if he wanted to be though. Like one time he was so angry with this kid he took him into the office, and Mr. Galvan’s windows are so sound proof, and he started screaming at the kid and you could hear what he was saying and yeah it was bad. But even though Mr. Galvan was mean he was still the best teacher I’ve ever had at Flamson.
WHAT IS THE MOST EXCELLENT GIFT OR SURPRISE YOU HAVE EVER RECEIVED AND WHY?
The best gift and it was a surprise, I’ve ever received would probably be when I got my dog. When I got my dog I was at my Aunts house in Fresno because it was my cousins 1st birthday. Well, my Aunt walks in the door with this itty bitty puppy and they put him down and he just over to me and attacks me while I’m laying on the floor and he licks me. I’m playing with him for about 5 minutes or so and I asked my Aunt whose puppy this is and because I know it’s not one of theirs and she says “he’s yours.” I was so excited I said, “You’re kidding me, right?” And she was like, “no I’m not.” So that would probably be the best gift I’ve ever received.
WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON YOU HAVE LEARNED IN YOUR YOUTH?
Probably the most important lesson I have learned in my youth would be to treat others the way you would want to be treated. So you would always treat people with respect, always treat them nicely. So for example, if you don’t want to be pushed in a pool, don’t push someone else in a pool. Another example would be if you don’t want to get hit, pushed or kicked, don’t do it to someone else. Yeah, so I think the most important rule and or lesson I have learned would be to treat people with respect and to treat people how you want to be treated.
WHO IS THE MOST ZANY PERSON YOU KNOW AND WHY?
The most zany person I know in my life is my Aunt Pamela. She is almost always cracking jokes about something. Also, she is always being a goober. She is always dancing weird and or singing like a goon. She is always doing something in public to embarrass me. Another zany person in my life is my dog “Teddy.” Even though he may not be a person he is still really weird and funny. Teddy is really funny if he is sleepy and you still try and slip his ball out from underneath his chin, he will make this weird growling sound, like he’s part bear or something. Like one time, I am sitting on the couch and he is always chewing on his ball right next to me. Then all of the sudden it starts to stink in that part of the room, if you know what I mean.
