Angel: Oh ok, well we won't mind them. Let's get started shall we?
Savien: Cool with me.
Cameraman: Camera rolling in 5, 4, 3, 2....
Angel: Hi this is Angel Martinez of "The Gemini Reporter" I'm sitting here with "The Good Twin" himself Savien. How are you doing this evening?
Savien: I'm good, just chilling out. You know me.
Angel: That's good to hear. Tell me, where were you on 9-11-01?
Savien: I was somewhere in Tennessee when it all happened. One of my roommates woke me up to tell me about it. At first I thought he was lying, but then he turned on the T.V. and there it was. I couldn't believe it. It was like watching a movie. It just didn't seem real. I was on pins and needles myself because I have a relative that works in the pentagon. I found out later that day that they were ok. I just send out my condolences to the families of the victims in this horrible act.
Angel: Do you think America is taking the right action in bombing Afghanistan in hopes of flushing out Osama bin Laden?
Savien: I think it's the right thing to do. We can't just sit here and let things like this continue to happen. This country has to let criminals like this know that their actions won't be tolorated.
Angel: Agreed. Tell me, what do you think about men who hit on their women?
Savien: Hitting me with the heavy stuff today huh? I can remember when I was little my mother's boyfriend at the time hit her. The image of her face all swollen up is still with me to this day. I feel that if a man raises his hand to a woman, then he's not a man. I don't care what a woman says to you, it may even be true about you. Don't put your hand on a woman. I have no respect for guys that do that. If you have to hit her, then let her go.
Angel: Well I'm glad to see that there are some brothers out there with some kind of sense.
Savien: My mother raised me, so you would have to credit her for that.
Angel: Tell me a little about your mom.
Savien: My mother was a beautiful woman. She was always there in the middle of the night for my nightmares, she nursed all the bumps and bruises. She always had my back when I had problems with people, she encouraged my dreams. I love that woman to death. I nearly lost my mind when my mom passed away in 1997 of Breast Cancer.
Angel: She was the most influential person in your life wasn't she?
Savien: Most definately. Always will be. I think about her everyday.
Angel: That's beautiful. She did a wonderful job with you.
Savien: Thank you.
Angel: Tell me your views on pre-marital sex?
Savien: I feel that's a decision for the individual to make. Whether they choose to do it or not. I'm not in a position to tell anyone not to do it because I've done it myself. I feel that that's something people are going to have to deal with on their own.
Angel: OK, let's move on to something lighter. How do you feel about meeting people whom you've chatted with over the internet?
Savien: It would be ok, if people would just stop lying about who they are and what they do. I've met people that I've talked to online, that had pictures of other people on their pages or sites or whatever, then get mad at me because I don't recognize them. People are so unhappy about who they are and they create something or a persona on the internet that is totally not them. You don't have to lie to me to kick it. Be honest, it will save you embarassment in the future. Trust me.
Angel: Spoken like someone who's had some bad experiences.
Savien: I've had some good experiences too, it's just that the bad outnumber the good by a big margin right now.
Angel: OK, Are you attached to any special lady at this time?
Savien: Nah, not right now. I'm not really looking to be in a relationship right now. The time just isn't right for me now. I'm interested in someone, but I'm not sure how that situation is going to work itself out. We'll see though.
Angel: Oh damn! We're out of time. I wish we had more time to talk, but we have to go. Thank you so much Savien for taking this time out to share your thoughts with us.
Savien: No problem, come back anytime.
Angel: We will do that. This has been Angel Martinez of "The Gemini Reporter" with "The Good Twin" Savien. Good night everybody.
