Answer 3

No, but mainly they don't believe I live 16 miles north of Seattle. Born and raised in Lewiston Idaho, not hard to believe.

Answer 4

Born to several cultures;
Observed dissimilar traditions;
Anachronistic philosophy and beliefs invalid;
Contemporary and popular thinking without;
Schism of old and new.

Odd and exotic accents rolled into one, written language not withstanding;
Do swift thought birth false cogitation;
Sagely comprehension without;
Do anomalies create;
Near acceptance, only to be denied by mantras of the chanting tribes.

Yet in diatribes truth arises;
The nature of man incumbent and without;
Do rising and fallen societies emanate their will.
Profound sagely people, do illusory and real become one;
Identity and acceptance encapsulated in appearance.

3 seconds more;
It pretty much stays that simple;
You get the drift.
