Recently, Power Love sat down to interview amazing local writer and soon to be amazing international writer, J. Adams Oaks. Oaks is a millionaire living on a remote Caribbean island, squandering coconuts, considering the tasty benefits of kale, and pondering how to quench his despotic thirst for power.

* Describe the latest project you are working on. Any project at all.
I am currently working on 19 stories simulaneously and getting none of them done, while using them all as procrastination to avoid working on the neverending novel. I will say, however, that my latest project does require top secret research and scaling barbed-wire fences.

* Recently, we discussed the ramifications of a battle between Batman and Superman. Will you reiterate your thoughts on that as I cannot remember what you said since I think I was eating something fried at the time and as you know, eating is very difficult, intellectually.
I don't think it's fair to pit the two against each other, because Batman has no real powers. A better match would be Spiderman vs. Superman or Batman vs. Daredevil. I do think that if they HAD to fight each other and were prepared for it, Batman would definitely make some Kryptonite-filled bat boomerangs.

* Talk about 2nd Story and what I should wear if I ever read at a show.
IF? IF? No, your time is quickly approaching and you WILL be finely dressed. I know that it will be stunning and I can guess with 85% accuracy that it will be bought at THE DRESSING ROOM. I do highly suggest something sexy, because there are always lots o' hotties in the audience who will be impressed by your brilliance.

* Flag burning: crime, traitorness, or freedom of expression?
Fuck that flag. Let's focus on proving our patriotism in other ways like equal rights and helping the poor. Oops. Can you say the F word in your blog? Is your mom going to read this? I meant "screw the damn flag."

* Discuss the pros and cons of writing a first-person narrative. Please be succint and witty.
I once knew this 43-year old man who walked into a bar with a potbellied pig on his head. How's that for my succinct, witty opinion of first person narrative? Is it a pro? Is it a con? I can't tell you. Oh, who are we kidding?!? Everybody LOVES first-person narrative. It's the way of the world. It's the future in commerce. It's the new language of politics. Am I right here? Gimme some love.

* I have it on good authority that you are currently journalling a story about various friends of yours, all of whom happen to be the same gender. Talk about this "Kim" and how she is witty, intelligent, and modest. Please mention her amazing shoe collection.
More than anything, this piece I'm working on in the hopes of presenting it at one of the 2nd Story readings is thematically about greatness and intellectual superiority. That I use a character named "Kim" to repeatedly reinforce these themes is purely coincidental. I will say I have been doing some top secret research into a real person I am basing this "Kim" on who in all actuality is kind, loving, thin, bright and makes a mean garlic bread. I can give you no more information until the piece is completed.

* We've had many discussions about being fabulous and forty. Frankly, I think you're already there. Thank you for taking the time to talk to Power Love. And also, that outfit you wear with the blue collared shirt under the black t-shirt with the matching blue graphics looks good on you.
I thank you, Power Love, for your time and compliments. If you'd like to delve deeper into my work and wit, please feel free to visit http://www.jadamsoaks.blogspot.com/. Take care and best wishes to all of your millions of fans.
