I love everything I do and am like a boiled egg: hard on the outside but soft on the inside.

How would you express your personal spirit using three Emoticons?

What are you proud of?
I'm proud of all my victories, but other than that I'm a rather modest person.

What are you ashamed of?
For having partied too hard in my youth and not having had enough self-discipline back then.

The first time I saw a dead person while I was doing work at a retirement home.

If you could choose one person to meet, dead or still alive, who would this be and why?
Arnold Schwarzenegger. I'd love to speak to him and learn more about his life and how - out of nowhere - he managed to achieve all that a person can possibly accomplish in life. And Mike Tyson. I'd love to have a training session with him.

Ali Bomaye, "The Game"
