I had the pleasure and permission of interviewing one of the greatest and funniest people in the world my brother, Octavious Hopper. He is a man of wisdom and he has some of the funniest stories to tell. Sadly, he finally moved out, so I had to hold the interview over the phone, but believe me, the story is just as funny as it would be in person.
Me: What do you consider funny?
Him: When you laugh until you get stomach cramps and tears roll down your eyes.
Me: Like that time when we had that giant ice storm and you decided to go sledding in that plastic pool. Little did you know that you wouldn’t be able to stop the pool and you flew into the woods, which led to the stream. Ok, I’m getting distracted, so What is the biggest fail you ever made?
Him: It was actually during that storm, I went outside to play in the ice and snow and I fell down the steps and slid into dads car.

Me: (Laughing) So, when were you going to tell me this happened?
Him: I wasn’t, but it’s about the funniest thing I could think of when you brought up the ice storm.
Me: Have you ever witnessed somebody else make an epic fail?
Him: Yeah, it was when mom put down that Mop and Glow down in the kitchen and you ran to answer the phone and you rolled into the kitchen table
Me: I knew you were going to say that, I shouldn’t have even asked that question.
I concluded my interview and thanked him for his time. After I was finished I sat there and thought about all the funny fails and memories that happen in my everyday life. All I can say is WOW!

My Biggest Fail Yet
I have to honestly say they worst day of my life occurred on August 6, 2011. I was invited to a camp resort which was located in Newton Conover, NC by my best friend and her aunt. I was stoked to go, and I heard that we were spending the night at her aunt’s house afterwards . The following day I was up and ready to go. I mean my bag was packed, I had eaten breakfast, and I had even made my bed, which I usually fail to do.
My ride had came and I knew that I was well on my way to being drenched in the glory of refreshing pool water. Our little crew arrived in Newton a little early, but luckily my friends aunt lived nearby and she welcomed us to her house. We relaxed at her house for about an hour and when it was time to go I felt like I was the most excited one.
The Tragedy Itself :
This is where all the drama began. On the way out of the house I all of sudden lost my step and I fell smack into the concrete. I didn’t know what to think. You see people refraining back from laughing because they can see your pain, but I can honestly say I was embarrassed. I had a big scrape on my knee, but that wasn’t going to ruin my good time.

We arrive at the camp resort and it is huge. I mean there's two pools, a lake, a water slide, and even pedal boats. I was overcome with joy. Everyone races to the pool and I immediately jump in the pool. With all the excitement I don’t realize that I’ve just jumped in the pool with my brand new phone. After suddenly realizing this I start to freak out.

What am I going to do? I am livid, but I will not let this ruin my day neither. I lay my phone out in the sun hoping its rays will shine some of its golden glory upon my damaged cellular device.
I see everyone leaving the pool and their headed towards the pedal boats. I find my pedal boat and just as I’m about to get in, I slip on the edge and my foot is submerged in water, but I manage to grip onto the edge. Not being enough that I had just fell in the pool, but all of a sudden while pulling myself up my knees goes into duck feces.

I had finally had enough and I’m ready to go home when all of a sudden a big storm floats upon us. The wind is blowing, and people are panicking, hoping they make it out of the water before the storm picks up. I felt as though a certain “someone,” had just sent me a sign telling me that I shouldn't have been there in the first place.
Everyone makes a vote and we decide that the rain doesn’t seem like it's going to let up anytime soon so we ditched the resort and we even took it as far as to go on home and I was thrilled because it seemed like I was finally put back in my comfort zone.
