Comments on: The New American Dream Interview http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/newamerdream/ for Bigfoot, Loch Ness, and More Fri, 19 Mar 2010 02:39:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: cliffhanger042002 http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/newamerdream/comment-page-1/#comment-52258 cliffhanger042002 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:23:03 +0000 http://www.cryptomundo.com/?p=12116#comment-52258 Cool interview Loren. Always nice to learn more about you and your "history". On a related subject - I cut my education/career plans kinda short for the benefit of spending more time with my wife and two sons. I graduated with a degree in engineering and applied to medical school and was accepted. To make a long story short I will just say that I knew and had first hand evidence that the time commitment would have put too much strain on my marriage and I would have had no time for my sons if I pursued becoming a surgeon, so I declined my acceptance and decided that working as an engineer and having time with my family was far more important. I've never regretted the decision. Cool interview Loren. Always nice to learn more about you and your “history”.

I am sometimes in deep turmoil because I never went on for a Ph. D., but I am very happy, in my life and mind, that I picked being a good Dad, over that degree.

It was very interesting to read (even though some of the questions thrown at you weren't so great) Thanks for sharing this Loren and being so honest.

You are definitely an interesting person. BTW, I watched <em>HALF-HUMAN</em> again last evening. Sure wish I could've seen the original version, which I guess doesn't exist anymore. Keep up the great work. Nice interview, Loren. You are definitely an interesting person. BTW, I watched HALF-HUMAN again last evening.
