獵豹是我從小到大的最愛，因為牠是一種處於中介狀態的動物－既不是貓，也不是狗。獵豹在生物學上的分類是貓科動物，但牠有很多像狗的特質。我總是對這種打破二元對立或超乎分類範疇的事物和概念特別感興趣。

　　舉例來說，獵豹的爪子並不像貓那樣往內回縮，因此牠們全力衝刺時可用利爪抓住地面，達到最大抓地力。

　　牠們通常不像貓科動物獨來獨往；而是像狗或狼一樣，成群行動。

　　獵豹超酷的另一個理由就是他們極具爆發力，他們會濃縮這份能量，並在極短的時空中極速狂飆。(獵豹最快可以衝到時速113公里，但只能持續3-5秒鐘。)

　　這種爆發模式比較符合我的個性、生活、思考與創作方式。這讓我想到高潮或是DMT(譯註)藥物的迷幻之旅。其實仔細想想，這些都屬於同一種作用－一種強力又迅速的意識轉換法。

　　青少年時期的我會開始練體育，就是因為我希望能像獵豹一樣快。我欣賞獵豹的，不只是外在/生理上的美，更包括內在的品質、屬性，例如速度和創造力的特質。

　　就某方面來說，獵豹的速度與人類的心智有所類同。當獵豹以最高速度疾衝時，牠的整體存在就會轉換檔次，超越現狀，進入另一種實相。同樣地，當我們思考、創造甚或生存…我們的大腦也會經歷一場意識轉換。

　　對獵豹的著迷讓我開始做重訓、健身。可以說獵豹是我最大的靈感來源，讓我成為今天的我。

　　你最喜歡什麼動物？為什麼？

(譯註)：DMT (二甲基色胺) 是一種作用快速，藥效短暫的強效迷幻藥。根據藥量多寡，效果能從溫和迷幻作用，擴大到與外在世界脫節。DMT不僅存於植物中，也存於人腦中。

Cheetahs are my favorite animals growing up because they are in a in-between state - they are both and neither a "cat" or a "dog". Cheetahs are classified scientifically as cats, but they have many traits that resemble dogs. I think I've always been interested in matter and concepts that break up duality or transcend categorizations. 

For instance, their claws do not retract back like cats do because they serve as sprinters' spikes that 'grab' onto the ground when they run in top speed for maximum traction.

They are usually not loners like most cats are but travel in small packs like dogs or wolves.

Another reason why cheetahs are awesome is because they are explosive but condense that energy and perform at high level in a very short amount of time and space (cheetahs can sprint up to 70 mph but can only keep it up for 3-5 seconds).

This fast twitch explosive mode fits my personality and style of living, thinking, and creating better than endurance. It reminds me of orgasms and DMT trips which if you think about it are all one and the same - a quick but powerful transformation of consciousness.

The reason why I got into athletics as a teenager is because I wanted to be as fast as cheetahs. They made me appreciate not just the outer/physical aesthetics but inner qualities, attributes and PROPERTIES of something like speed and creativity.

In a sense, cheetahs speed is analogous to the human mind. When a cheetah sprints at top speed, his entire being switches gear and transcends into another realm, just like how consciousness gets altered when we use our brains to think, create, and ultimately survive.

My obsession with cheetahs let me to weight training and eventually bodybuilding. You could say cheetahs are my biggest inspirations and made me who I am today.

What's your favorite animal and why?
