23 Questions With...David Vaughan


In your words explain a little about yourself, who are you?
I am a writer, photographer and  musician who resides in Northwestern Wyoming and frequently travel outside of the state and the country every chance I get. I likes to say, "the past is the only country I choose not to visit." The only problem with moving around so much is that I get the line, "You ain't from around here are you boy?" way too often.

1, Do you have any regrets?
Only that it's taken me this long to realize time is short, that I am merely mortal and that I've given two decades of my life to marriage to two women only to realize I walked away with less than half twice.

2, What is your first memory?
Of slapping the doctor when I was born ... it was a knee jerk reaction I'm sure since I didn't really know him well enough to hate him, just didn't like coming out first thing and getting whacked by a stranger.

3, What is the stupidest thing you will ever admit to doing?
I fell asleep at the bank drive up on a warm Friday after work and had to be awakened by the teller who had to walk out of the building to rap on the window fearing I was dead.

4, What is your favorite guilty pleasure?
Making love. I usually have to ask everyone first to clear the room cause I need my privacy.

5, What would your porn star name be?
I'd probably be a "dinosaur" by today's standards, but something like, Johnny Lickalotapus would work.

6, What is the hardest drug you have ever done?
"While trying to stay awake on a cross country road trip by myself once, I did a line of Folger's Crystals followed by a dose of Viagra cause I thought it would keep me "up" all night behind the wheel. It worked okay. The fear of putting my eye out kept me from nodding off.

7, Are there any nude pictures of you in this world?
Of course, and they were taken on a very frosty morning so don't make a big deal out of it cause it's "not."

8, Do you prefer lights on or off during sex?
I like them on otherwise it's tough finding the remote freez-frame button when the good part comes.

9, What is the wildest thing that you have ever done?
Probably dressing up like a woman (when I was 16) for Holloween. I was a big hit and I walked funny for a day or two after ... because of the heels silly.

10, What do you wear in bed?
Nothing in the summer months, but in winter, I shift to my scoobie doo pj's and my Rock Rabbit T-shirt

11, How many items of jewelry do you wear on a daily bases?
Usually at least three bracelets.

12, Have you ever gone skinny dipping?
I used to call it that when I was younger, now I call it "chunky dunking"

13, When you close your eyes and relax, where do you go?
Wherever the funny shrooms take me usually and it's always a happy place

14, You can tell a lot about a person by the tittles of books on their
bookshelves. What books do you have on your shelves?
The Four Agreements, Woody Allen, and some drivel by a guy named Frank Quarters

15, What music has changed your life? Or what do you listen to.
My latest find is very eclectic stuff by some Tuvian Throat singers and another odd ball named Buck Frampton

16, If you could be in any profession, other than the one that you are
in, what would it be?
I would be a secret agent and drive my 77 Datsun wagon with the bullet proof sneeze shield option

17, Tell me something about yourself that most do not know?
My right pinky toe looks like a corn nut unless I trim it often (which I do)

18, How old were you when you lost your virginity?
I was 15 and she was 14. I learned quickly afterwards that the goal is not to cross the finish line first. Ten second sprints were nothing to brag about apparently.

19, What have you not done that you must do before you die?
I hope to visit Graceland and find a peanut butter and bacon flavored Pez dispenser of the King

20, The ancient Greeks believed that it was not what you accomplished
in life, it was how you lived your live. When you die how would you
like to be remembered?
I plan to put on my gravestone: "I told you I was sick"
