RentMen:
How do you go the 'Extra Mile' in your life?
BlakeCocharan:
I make it a point to check in with friends and family regardless of my motivation or anything worthwhile to share. I call and text them to ask about them and then actually listen to what they have to say. It's a small thing but the people in my life know that I am available and if I can help I don't say no.
RentMen:
What do you do for fun?
BlakeCocharan:
Everything in life is fun (and funny). You just have to look at it and determine how you're going to have fun doing whatever it is that you are going to have fun doing. I try to have fun as much as possible which is why my neighbors hate it when I clean (I play music very loud and dance with the vacuum and the other cleaning tools and I sing along...badly).
RentMen:
What are your hobbies, what do you like to do in your spare time?
BlakeCocharan:
I crochet, make jewelry, and I write (working on a novel which will almost certainly never be finished). I enjoy a long walk late at night with no particular destination, just walking and enjoying the quiet and the cool. I help friends train their dogs and I teach people how to make simple repairs to things which are necessary and often break or come undone. I suppose I spend my spare time doing my best to find ways to help people and make their lives easier or smoother. Often they won't know I'm doing this or they won't be someone I know and I'll never see them again. It's enjoyable for me to know that I made a positive impact and that someone will have a better day or think about something a better way than they did before. It's the only thing I've found which makes me happy no matter what the outcome.
RentMen:
Tell us a little about yourself, if you were to pick something what would you like others to absolutely know about you?
BlakeCocharan:
I'm a nerd and have a knack for cheering people up. I love animals and don't like most people. I'm a master gardener but I don't have a yard right now. I'm always reading a few books at a time because I don't have good attention span for reading. I crochet and I am constantly giving away what I finish to whoever is nearby when I finish it.
