12/02/03 Lincoln Sharp - Following his dreams at WIU, love for sports and ghetto rap, and what he learned about losing to his older brother in video games growing up.

ES:Where do you reside?
LS: Western Illinois University, Macomb, Illinois

ES: What makes you money today?
LS: Being a full time student at Western, any work for me is limited to the summer. Alot of times I umpire youth baseball, and also try to get another job on top of it.

ES: What is your title, what do you do, and where?
LS: A title, well I guess officially I am a Pre-Law Enforcement Justice Administration student at WIU, unofficially I am just a kid fortunate enough to go to college and try to accomplish my dream.

ES: What time do you wake up & what's the first thing you do?
LS: I get up at either 8:45am or 9:20am everyday for class, And the first thing I do is turn on the TV to ESPN News and then go brush my teeth.

ES: What do you do in your spare time?
LS: I like to keep in shape by lifting usually every day. I love watching sports, and playing whatever sport is in season with my friends. I also enjoy video games and movies. I also just started to pick up a hobby of model cars.

ES: What's in your cd player right now?
LS: All my music is on my computer, so I wont just simply answer by saying nothing. I enjoy any type of music, however I find myself always listening to some kind of rap. I know Eric is not very happy with that statement, haha.

ES: What's your favorite website and why? (Eric-Sharp.com is not electable)
LS: I find myself at ESPN more than any other site. Its a great way to keep informed with the world of sports, and for me to stay tuned with news on my favorite teams.

ES: List a few of your short term goals. (Travel, career, personal, etc.)
LS: My main short term goal is to graduate WIU with my Bachelors. Hopefully that will come within the next 2 and a half years.

ES: If you could spend a day with anyone in the world (living), who would it be and why?
LS: This took me a while to decide on, at first I was thinking, just spend a day with Brooke Burke. But as I thought more I decided on Nicholas Cage. I would just like to talk to him, because he has been in a lot of my favorite movies.

ES: Favorite movies of all time?
LS: A couple are 'The Rock' and 'Black Hawk Down'.

ES: If you were given the power to either fly (45 mph max), or become invisible for a designated duration of 30 minutes every day, which one would you choose & why?
LS: I think it would be really cool to fly, but I would have to choose going invisible. I would just like to watch people and see what they really think about you.

ES: Have you ever been arrested? If so, what for?
LS: No, thankfully, because that wouldnt look too well on a future police officer application.

ES: What's your most favorite memory of Eric?
LS: Wow, this one was hard to sum up in one moment. A lot of memories ran through my mind thinking of this one.
The many activities involving Nerf guns. On so many Christmas mornings, Eric would first tell me to go back to my room so he could sleep longer, then when he was ready, he would throw me down the stairs as we raced to collect our gifts. Another memory was tipping over on Uncle Chris' 4-wheeler, and just alot of things that he helped me through growing up. But my single memory can be summed up by four words, Madden NFL Football 1995. Growing up, Madden was a battle on epic scales between Eric and I. I still wake up in the middle of the night with screams in my head and visions of Deion Sanders running circles around any team I threw at the Atlanta Falcons, even the All-Madden team. Even though Eric will deny it, I beat him ONCE, when I was the All-Madden team. I suffered the ultimate punishment for that victory, a severe continual beating. After that win, with a couple more losses, my record against him came to about 1 win and 213 losses. To sum up how important these games were, one time Eric beat me so bad, he took a picture of the scoreboard for the game. That picture can still be found at the Sharp home in Sterling, Illinois.
