Eric Wight Revealed

Eric Wight Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. If life was easy, I'd be out of a job. Q. What trait is most noticeable about you? A. My smile, which I tend to do a lot when I'm feeling awkward or don't know what to say. Q. What is your biggest pet peeve? A. When walking past someone and they would rather stare at the wall than say hi. Q. If you could acquire any talent, what would it be? A. I always wanted to learn how to play the ukulele. That way if I found myself at a really boring dinner party, I could whip it out and spice things up. Or El Kabong the host with it. Q. What are your most overused words or phrases? A. "What's funny is that..." which is usually followed by something that isn't funny at all. Learn more about Eric Wight
