19/04/15: Uncensored via a few beers while talking
This is a special edition of The Same Interview, where interviewee 16 – Sean, is joining in on the interviewing process.
I’m Vincent. And I am currently a third year in mining engineering. Anything else you’d like to add? Not particularly… Sean: I’m a pickup artist. RSD Vince is my name. I’ve considered joining the RSD team. Like submit my application and, you know, the reel of both Taylor and Julien doing the whole sixteen minute thing of showing how they… So I can do that via shoulder cam or something, and submit that, like, ‘I can show you a copy’. Sean: Brad Branson had a vacancy for an unpaid intern. I would totally do that man, like, even if I didn’t have the money, I would fly over there just for the internship. Sean: But you don’t get paid. I know that. That experience is once in a life time. And I do think you’ll learn a lot from it, like, if I was in his office every day, fuck that. But he takes me out and be like ‘this is how you do things’, then I would… And he is successful. Like, come on, if Elon Musk takes an unpaid intern, I would cut off my arm for that.
What do you think makes you different from others?
I think, most people don’t try as hard as they can, because they think they are completely incapable of doing anything. So, I guess, I have this audacity of youth, that’s like, if I put my mind to anything, and I try hard enough, I can do absolutely anything. But, I don’t, because I have a disciplinary problem that I need to overcome. Like, if I have an assignment due, and a Tinder girl is saying ‘hey, come fuck me right now’, it’s really difficult to say no to that. Especially when she is attractive. So, are you just saying that you are like everyone else? But I try not to be though. So, I’m not content with my life. I want to improve and be better. While I believe most people are content with their life, like, they do TAFE or something, and work at 7/11 and they are like ‘This is cool’. Like, I have some friends who drop out of engineering at uni. Sean do you know this guy called J----- C-----? Sean: Yeah, he was doing civil right? Yeah, we’re really close. And he drop out to become a full time waiter. His wage is 35 per hour or something. And I’m like, ‘hey, it might look good now, but you can’t do this for the rest of your life. You know, find a permanent skill. Like, when you’re older, 35 an hour isn’t going to pay your bills.
How do you feel about your family?
I think I’m very fortunate to have them. As a kid, I hated them, like, because of whatever disciplinary action they did. But as I grew up, my views align more and more with them. Do you think it’s because you have grown up with them? As in, you’ve been taught by them? Yeah, well, this is the thing. I lived with them until I was 16, I think. And even until then, I didn’t agree with their views. So, like, after I stopped living with them, I’ve had no influence from then on. But then, my views started to align with them myself, more and more. Don’t you think that was just because you were going through a rebellious stage of your life? Maybe, maybe that’s it. Or maybe my views have always been like that, and I just wanted to be rebellious or something. Maybe the majority of people I know, either don’t have both parents or their parents are divorced or something, like, that would have had some effect on their kids, and it has to be negative. It has to be negative? I think if parents were divorced when their kids were growing up, it would have a negative effect on them.
What is something you are passionate about?
Passionate about traveling. So I know that right now, I don’t have the funds for it. But that’s kind of why I am doing engineering, like, I don’t really… I’m not passionate about engineering, but I think I like it enough to do it for a while, so that I can fund my travels for the future. Where do you want to travel to? Everywhere in the world. As many countries as possible. Is that because your parents are doing that? In a way, yeah. But I also want to see the world, ad see everything that I haven’t seen, and I think that’ll open up my views about the world, and have a better world view. And generally enjoying myself, like having different sorts of food and beer and wine that is only available in that country on something. But something definitely on my list is to go to the Northern Lights. I want to go to like, Norway and see that first. Why would changing your world views help you, if you were just purely travelling? I think it would because you would be immersed in the culture, and understand how other cultures think and behaviour based on their environment is and maybe how history and upbringing of those people are like. How would that benefit you? If you’re goal is to travel, and one of the reasons was to have an open mind about the world, how would that benefit you in the long run, if you were just going to continuously travel? Oh, I don’t think I will continuously travel. I want to visit as many countries as I can in my lifetime, so, maybe like a hundred to a hundred and fifty countries, but I can do that over a really long time. But it doesn’t have to be like, the rest of my life, I can do that, and have a break. It just would be something enjoyable that I would do. And I would like to think that, when I start doing it, I would be in a place where I’m, I guess, successful or accomplished enough, to not worry about anything else. Like my parents, they retired at 37 and then they can do that for the rest of their life. It’s just, when you retire, the amount of money, is not to buy material things, it’s to buy freedom. So, that’s one of the biggest philosophies I got from my parents I think, is that you have the freedom to do what you want.
What are five words that fascinate you?
Serendipity. Because it’s such an obscure word. Why? Because if you ask an average person what that means, they wouldn’t know what it means. And I think for our QCS grade 12 test, serendipity was the word… Sean: Was that for the practise test? It was in 2011, and the topic was gold. Sean: Oh yeah! It was part of the short answer test, where a serendipitous slug was coming out of a green slime or something. It was something extremely ridiculous. Someone made a fan page about it. Sean: Yeah, there is a fan page about using serendipity as an excuse when your girlfriend finds your dick in her arse. And the photo of the page was that slug from the QCS paper. Wait, so, I keep on forgetting this. Serendipity is where you’re not expecting something good, but it turns out really good or something? Sean: Yeah, when you’re not expecting something good to happen, but it just does. So if Yida finds your dick in her arse, that’s what she would say.
I would like to point out that Sean said a lot of ‘pretentious shit’, like mellifluous, and perspicuous. Oh, that’s pretty pretentious. Sean: What the fuck am I meant to say, like hot, cold, tree, rock, water. Yida: One of my favourites was bed, because lower case, it looks like a bed on the side. This reminds me… the other word would be:
Pie. If you flip it upside down, it would be 3.14. That’s fascinating to me. Oh of course, coincidence. Well, so is bed… That is also a coincidence.
Ethereal. Because it’s such an accurate word to describe how you feel about something. There is only a handful of things that I would say that are ethereal. Like, Northern Lights. If I actually see it, I will think ‘this is ethereal’. Do you think you’ve expected the northern lights to be that good, and then you go there, and you are like ‘this is so ethereal’ and you sit there with your fake expectations and emotions? I don’t think so. I think I’ll be absolutely blow away by it. But aren’t high expectations, not good? Sometimes. But sometimes if you have high expectations, what turns out, can even be even more than your high expectations, or expectations already, and you can be even more blown away by it. Like ‘I have such high expectations already, but this is even better’. Like, some videos that I see, you lie there on the ground and out there, and out there, there are already tons of stars shimmering everywhere. And there are still these flashing lights, like green, red and yellow everywhere. I think after I do that, I would be like, ‘I am happy with my life right now. There is nothing else I would want to do’.
I did some research. Of course you can make your own way there and search it, but if you want to do a guided tour, the five day tour, it is ten thousand per person for five days. It’s expensive, but it’s not unaffordable. Why don’t you just do it yourself, and make it your own adventure? Because, don’t you find that when you’re on a tour, everything is boring? Sure, so I think there is a chance that I might not go on the tour. Because doing everything yourself, doing your own research and finding out things, makes it more adventurous as well, compared to following the tours time schedule, like ‘we’re going back to the hotel now’. Maybe I can just camp there. And there is this special tent designed for watching the Northern Lights. The top of the tent is completely transparent, it’s tarp. And so, when you wake up and open up your eyes at night, and are lying there, it’s the northern lights above you.
Great. Anything else? Another two words. I don’t think I can come up with another two right now. What is a thing that you use very often? Sean: Bondage. Have you guys tried bondage by the way? No. Why not? Sean: Although we have duct tape. Do you know what I realised though? Bondage tape is not just normal tape. Bondage tape is special, in the sense that it doesn’t stick to your skin. Bondage tape sticks to itself. So, if you want to take off bondage tape, it’s extremely easy. Like, the GC bae, she had a roll of bondage tape, and she asked me to use that on her, and I agreed, and I tied her hands and feet together. But to take it off is really easy. Everything comes off really easily itself. I guess that makes sense. You don’t want people to be having trouble with that kind of product. Do you like choking? *laughter* But I mean, during sex. Choking girls during sex. Do you know why people do that though? It’s because, when you’re nearly at the point of asphyxiation, and you’re already on the verge of orgasm, and have a breath of air at the same time, the amount of pleasure, like doubles. I’m so glad that you’ve done that before. I haven’t done that before. I’ve just heard about it. But I’ve done that to girls though. Have you heard about the cinnamon thing? The cinnamon thing? Like, where you eat a ton of cinnamon and your cum tastes good? Ahh, I’ve heard about that with pineapple and kiwi fruit. So, whenever I would attempt to get a girl to swallow, I would say like, ‘I’m on a kiwi fruit and pineapple diet for three days’. Do you actually do it though? I don’t. But surprisingly, they say that it tastes good anyway. Have you tried to taste it? My own semen? No. Wouldn’t you want to know what it tastes like? Not really. It’s just never a thought process for me. Oh ok, I have in the sense that after I’ve came inside of a girls mouth, she’s swallowed and she kissed me afterwards. And you’re okay with that? I’m okay with it. Cos it actually doesn’t really taste any different from just a normal kiss. The difference is very negligible. I guess she swallowed really well or something, so there was no residue.
Niggardly. Because this is a really interesting that as caused a ton of controversy. Do you know what it means? Niggardly means to be stingy and kind of frugal. Wow, we act niggardly. Yes, Sean and Yida are niggardly. And I’m trying to be niggardly, as well. And this white politician was trying to describe the allocated funds towards a project as niggardly, and used that word during a press conference. And he got criticism everywhere, from the black community as racism and stuff. But the word has nothing to do with the word ‘nigga’ itself. It’s derived from another latin word, which I have forgotten, but another word that means stingy. And people were just, thinking that it was racist because it sounds something like ‘nigger’. Other people at prestigious universities have made speeches using that word, and it’s also been widely criticised. And people have lost positions because of it. And that white politican, because of the wide criticism everywhere, because of the media, he resigned because of that. Just because of that thing. And he said this great quote, he said ‘Wouldn’t it be great if everyone in the world was colour blind. But I guess, as a white person, we cannot afford to be colour blind.’ It’s saying that a white person has to be incredibly sensitive.
One more thing, you know the comedian Sarah Silverman? Yeah. She made a joke that caused a lot of controversy as well. She was like, she was apply for an application, and it had something to do with like, the Asian community, and was like ‘tell us one reason…’ and then as a joke or something, she thought it would be funny if she put ‘I hate chinks’ on it. And then she was going to put that, but then her friend said stop, what if you put ‘I love chinks, yeah’ as another reason to hire her or something. And she said that as a joke, in a stand-up comedy thing, and it caused like massive outrage, and people were just like ‘you shouldn’t even use that word in the first place’. But personally, I think it’s fine, it’s just a joke. There was this Canadian guy who was living in a city in Canada, and all his family, including him, were incredibly experiencing racial troubles, like discrimination from their neighbours and their whole suburb. And one day, they found their son murdered, and they had the words ‘Chink’ sketched into their car, and that’s a really racist thing. So, it’s kind of like a black person being lynched, and then having the word ‘nigga’ written on a tree or something like that.
Sean: Masturbating to hentai. Yida: That’s Abdi. Abdi keeps on sending me this song called hentai pussy. Have both of your heard that song? Sean: No, but I’m not surprised. It’s just like ‘man that girl is cute, but she would be cuter if she was a cartoon character. Cos I want to hit that hentai pussy. Yeah, that hentai pussy’.
Errr, time spent… Not as well as I’d like. As I said, the discipline thing. Everyone has a vice right. With some people, it’s drinking, smoking, gambling. I think my vice, is definitely girls. Sex? Yeah, like, I don’t have it for like, more than a week or two weeks, I would be like, extremely frustrated every day. Just like, shaking. Porn? No, porn wouldn’t be a legitimate relief, I would still feel really frustrated. So you are a sex addict. Maybe a little, but yeah. I’ve thought about it myself, that, if I was completely going to stop seeing this Gold Coast girl right now, I would probably be pretty upset *chuckles* Do you have one girl, without her, on your list? I’m sure I could call up a few people, I could find one. Cos this girl did say ‘I really like you, but I don’t know whether you’re serious or not. So, when you want it to happen, you know, you can make the move, you can make the move and we can go from there’. I mean you can expect sex from that right?
What one of the seven deadly sins do you believe you commit the most of?
Oh, it’s so going to be lust. Is it lust? Of course. Sean: You can’t pre-empt that. I think there is a movie about this, the seven deadly sins. And each sin is personified as a person. There is an anime series like that. You should watch this one called ‘Another’. I’ll write it on my list, but I probably won’t watch it haha. Like, Sean recommending you books. Fair enough. Sean: You still have the book? *conversation drifts* Oh seven deadly sins. Yeah. Of course. Lust. Wait, I mean, another one I think, pride. Pride. Because of the ego? Yeah. Man, I commit a lot of those. Do you think it’s a bad thing? Errm, everyone commits a lot of sins, but as long as you repent, you are still going to heaven. Umm… Greed I have, of course. Sloth, because of procrastination. Pride, yes. Lust, yes. Envy, because, I’m like, other guys are getting hotter girls than I am. But that also comes into greed, because I want more. Gluttony, because I enjoy really good food and drinks. Would you over indulge in that? I wouldn’t say, I would over indulge. Well, actually, maybe not, because I don’t do that very often.
What’s your opinion of cut down trees?
If they are put to good use, then that’s great. What is good use? To be made into something useful, like paper. What about mahogany tables? Yeah. Perfect. And what’s not good use? They are not being made into anything. And they are being thrown away. To be made into anything, anything is good use. Like, a toy, or a floorboard, or furniture. What about cigarettes? Yeah, that’s good use. Because, I’m going to digress a tiny bit. There was an episode on recycling and they were busting myths. There is a massive myth about recycling Sean: So they had ten different coloured recycle bins and people kept… agreeing to it. The only thing that is worth recycling right now, is aluminium cans. At the moment, it costs less to recycle aluminium cans than to make new ones. But every single other things is bullshit. Absolutely bullshit. It costs more to recycle paper, and it’s actually more harmful to the environment to recycle paper. You need to have the trucks to collect these bins to have paper, and to bring it back to the factory, and pay people to sort out these papers to make sure they are good stuff, and is worthwhile to be recycled. And then it is taken to this plant to be like, pulped, and then all these chemicals are added to it to have all the ink, deinked completely, and will cause a lot of harmful chemical fumes. And then, that is eventually made into paper. That process is a lot longer and tedious and harmful to the environment, then cutting down a tree to make paper.
People think cutting down trees is bad, but it’s not. Because every time a tree is cut down to be made to paper or any other use, another tree is being ordered to be planted, so it doesn’t make a difference. Like, trees aren’t being cut down without being replaced. Trees that we cut down, are all being replaced by new trees. By the time we get to that tree, that tree would have grown, and other trees are in line. We would never run out. It’s literally like a resource, like raising chickens. You aren’t going to be afraid that we kill chickens and not have them anymore.
Name someone you love and hate.
Sean. Sean: I was going to say me *laughs*. He has qualities that I really admire, and also qualities, not qualities I would say, but beliefs I guess, that I don’t. But maybe Sean feels this way about me as well. I think so. Actually Sean didn’t have someone he put down under this question. Which is fair enough. So what do you love and hate about him? The dislikes, is obviously like, and know that he feels the exact same way about it, is just like, the stubbornness to not change. So, obviously, he wouldn’t be like, oh Vince is some person, even if we present him with all the evidence, and everything else, he would not change his views, but that’s how I feel about Sean. What do you love about him? Dedication and discipline. If there is something that he hates doing, and knows has to be done, he would so do it. But I would try and put it off as much as possible. And try to avoid it until last minute it. He would probably space assignments out, like ‘I’ll do this part, this much now, this much now’, and not leave it until the last second, but I’m probably the person who is like ‘if I don’t have to do it now, I don’t have to do it now’. Do you cram for exams? In the past I did, but right now, I’ve been getting better in that regard.
Where is your favourite spot?
And that can be interpreted in any way right? It could even be like, what is your favourite spot, on the body? Yeah. Oh cool, because I thought favourite spot, oh, Southbank. Ok then, I’ll answer with the body bit then. Like, my head. My scalp. I enjoy a scalp massage more than anything. ASMR like crazy when I get a massage on my scalp. And I feel really bad for Sean, because he doesn’t experience ASMR. It’s not just a touchable feeling, it’s like an orgasmic feeling. Everything in your body is about to explode, in a really good way, when you experience ASMR. Isn’t that what you said about the GC bae massaging your head and twirling you hair? Yeah. Even better than sex. That’s what I said. I guess the coupley, intimate things that we do, while not being a couple. Sean: But isn’t that a coupley thing? Even though you don’t want a relationship? It is. So like, I enjoy coupley things, without being in a relationship. So like, cuddling, so like, you can’t be having sex twenty-four seven you know? As I said, forty minutes, and then two hours nap. And then, forty-minutes and two hours nap. And so after that, after sex, we would be cuddling in bed or something, that I really enjoy. Like, the afterglow. And that would be a coupley thing to do. Otherwise, if it’s just a purely physical thing, then it would just be like fuck, and then leave right now. Wouldn’t it be better if you loved them though? It would be, but at the moment, I’m just not willing to take that risk. Because whenever I take that risk, it blows up in my face. And sometimes, it’s like it’s a provisionary risk taking, if that makes sense. It’s like, I’m not going to take this chance completely, and be completely into it. But I’m going to take this chance, just for now. To see how it turns out. If it turns out well, then I’m be completely invested in it. Kind of like the Adelaide girl. She’s like, really genuine, and I was like ‘Do you think this distance will be a problem, and that one day…’ and I called this, because I was like ‘One day, I’m going to get a Dear John letter’, and she got really offended, and she got angry. She was like ‘you think that I’m that kind of person? You think I’m going to randomly come out and say that we shouldn’t do this anymore? Obviously not Vince. I am only ever going to leave you if you do something incredibly terrible to let me down’. And then three months later, out of abso-fucking-lutely nowhere, she came out and was like ‘hey Vince, I think we should stop doing this’. So this is the moment where I feel like ‘Holy Shit, I’m so glad’. Because this is provisionary risk taking is like half way there. So that means I’ll be like, half sad. If I didn’t take this risk at all, and if I was emotional unattached, I wouldn’t be sad at all. But that means you were only half happy when you were in it. I would say I was more than half happy because when I was in it, it felt like a real relationship. Like, we had the whole day, and we did really coupley things the whole day, and I saw her the subsequent days, but only for a couple of hours because we were trying to dodge her parents.
