A Moveable Feast is my favoriite Hemingway novella and San Jose is my hometown.

Amazing man! Sounds like trying to make it in Hollywood, but instead it's based on my work ethic, diligence, intelligence, and personality.

I really want to get into a think tank. Is that just a matter of applying to them? I would love to lobby congress.

You mean if the average healthy person actually thought about the fact that their life was limited in their earlier years people would be more emotionally open?

My father was sick for my entire childhood. He had a liver transplant when I was 8 and lived until I was 20.

I wake up and think about people. I see people walking down the street and I wonder how they do things in the morning? It makes the world insanely large to think about people as individual, moment to moment, actors in life.

I can't help how I approach life. I fear not waking up tomorrow. I fear the world spinning and not experiencing it. I don't want anyone that I know to wake up tomorrow and me not be here. I have the ultimate appreciation for life. So much that I am extremely selfish with mine.

Who would I take a bullet for? No one. That will remain my answer until I am able to reconsider it at a later age after having had children.

I have not had cancer but I have lost all of my family members besides my mom. I have lost eleven friends to either cancer, motorcycles/cars/base jumping, or suicide.

I live for my relationships. It is the driving force in my life. Nothing else comes first. I work hard and go to school and take care of my mom because of that. School and work will allow me to enjoy my career, work less over my life, and be with friends and family.

Cheers to all of your work, passion, and extreme courage. I've been healthy my whole life and I fear what you have gone through every day (in blips). I don't dwell on it but the thought crosses my mind and catches me, which probably keeps me humble.

Hey /u/somehillguy! Thanks for doing this AMA! I am currently doing my masters in public administration. I worked on a city council campaign and I am on the local county child abuse council. I am also interning for a Association of Governments in my region. I am seriously in love with policy. If I could do one thing today to get me to The Hill as a staffer what would that be? Internships for Senators and Congressmen and women are hard to come by. Is there a step below the job/intern level that can help bring my intents to the attention of public representatives on the hill?

Thank you.

Considering he is somewhat fishing for jobs in his post you can understand how someone would be motivated to falsify this AMA, no? He isn’t exactly unique looking. I have a good friend who is ten years older than him and they look eerily similar. Just showing his face with a piece of paper that says “hallway pizza guy”, isn’t really proof.
