I sat down with Jaime and asked him ten questions I already knew the answers to. Here's what he said:
Do you speak
English?
I do. Do I have to
be funny?
What is the worst
thing that has ever happened to you besides moving to the United States?
That's not the worst
thing.
What's the best work
out music?
Ummm...This is Gaythe album including groups such as: Bonnie Tyler, Village People,
Diana Ross and others. Sorry! Actually Cher. Cher has to be included
in that. The only one I always skip is Britney Spears.
Do you like it when I use superlatives?
No. I think it's
fake, and it doesn't convey what you want it to convey. It made me
feel very good once, but then I realized lots of people are the same,
and I was like, "That's bullshit." I don't have one best friend or anything
like that. You can't say, "You're the best." You can say, "You're among
the best." In any case, fuck off you're not the best.
Is our apartment the correct size?
Yeah, it's the right
size. I like it this small. It's easier to clean. It looks very tidy
all the time. The only thing I would like to have is a bigger garden.
But we don't even have a garden.
But we don't even have a garden.
Yeah, exactly. A bigger flower pot
that you didn't let me buy.
Do you like gluing rhinestones to horse heads?
No. I like the outcome. I don't like the process. It's very tiring and boring, and I prefer you to do it. You have more patience. You have more patience towards it. Not in general. You have more patience with rhinestones. What are you typing?

Are dogs better than
people?
Yeah, absolutely.
People are violent. Dogs can only be aggressive. Dogs do not hurt
just for the sake of hurting, and they're usually lovely. And most of
all, people are powerful and dogs are not. And dogs are
softer...usually. Except for your ears.
Who is a better cook: you or me?
Comparisons are
hateful. I think we're both good in our own way, but if we had to cook something special, we would both be bad.
Who is a better
driver?
The same.
Oh!
You're forcing the answer. Okay. I'll tell you what I think. I think
compared to me, you drive faster and your braking is more sudden
which scares me basically because I had a very bad accident not so
long ago. Sometimes you don't scare me. Doesn't mean you drive worse than me. You
drive differently, and that difference scares me. (I'd like to add here that the most stereotypical looking grandma woman passed him on the highway the other day.)
What do you prefer
to be doing right now?
I'm good here. Being naked at home and doing
fuck all.
That's all I have
for you today.
And you think that's enough for a blog post? You
better add something. I'm going to tell you a secret. You could've
recorded this with your phone or your computer. Wouldn’t have to be typing all the time and could focus on what I say. Will you correct the mistakes I made?
You didn't make any mistakes. Sometimes I do.
Only you have the power to turn shitty things into stories.
It's great post! Thanks for sharing!
