Summer Interview Series: Installment Two

For our second Summer Interview, WXC has caught up with Patrick Twohy, Honolulu native, basketball aficionado, Kaiser High School Alum, and former cross country teammate of current Warrior Dawson Vorderbruegge.

WXC: Patrick, tell us about your running career?

PT: (laughs) My running career can be described as the TV show "Arrested Development." Short and sweet, and it ended much too early. I was the Michael Cera to Dawson Vorderbruegge's Michael Bateman.

WXC: How did you meet Dawson?

PT: I met Dawson, aka the "Four Minute Fabricator," in our guidance class in high school. In this class we would fly helicopters, play with night vision goggles, and have our teacher, Col. Shea teach us about military endeavors. This is when I learned Dawson Vorderbruegge said he could run about a four minute and something mile, and in my head I thought, "There's no way this clown can do that..." hence he was dubbed the 4-minute Fabricator. Let's flip the script here, Dawson, how did you come to know me?

WXC: I met Patrick in the same lousy guidance class, and thought he was a wannabe moke, because he hung out with all the big Hawaiian guys, and I thought he was a clown as well. However, despite the odds, Pat came out to XC practice one day to get in shape for basketball, and an eternal bond of friendship was formed. Patrick, what are you up to these days?

PT: In all irony, I am currently working for a Hawaiian lady. I am the token white boy in the workplace. I am also about to quit my job at Longs Drugs, where I have been gainfully employed for two years. And I'm taking college classes.

WXC: When are you transferring to Stanislaus?

PT: Never. Next question.

WXC: Why?

PT: I've learned that the 60-40 female to male ratio is the most misleading statistic in the United States of America.

WXC: Any last thoughts or comments on any current events?

PT: I met Mr. Jaydeep Bhatia, seems pretty cool for an Indian guy with a pizzeria. I manhandled both Dawson and JD in basketball, it was a hard fought battle, but in the end the best prevailed, both teams played hard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrOH-KHxXg0 I'm still waiting for Duke to call me and offer that scholarship they promised.

WXC: Thanks Pat, we appreciate you taking the time to talk to us. We'll see you shortly for another Summer Interview Series Installment.
