Personal
How old are you?
Right now, I’m 25. My birthday is in July and I was born in 1999.
What’s the story behind your amazing name?
Cosmo Socrates Trikes. Yeah, I like it just as much as you (probably more). I’m 25% Greek, my middle name is from my papou (grandfather), and Cosmo is originally Kosmos, but because I live in America, it’s Cosmo. It was that or Agamemnon.

How tall was Julius Caesar?
How Tall was Winston Churchill?

I kept believing that eventually it would look good and be worth it. I’m not doing that again.
Weirdest thing about you?
I’ll have to ask some friends about this and get back to you. To me, it’s all normal.
