[edit] A Little About Me
[edit] Relationships
As far as friend relationships go, I do not have many friends. But I don't mind at all because the friends that I do have a very very good friends. I love all of my family even though half the time they can be a pain in the butt. More than friend relationships? I'm not that good at those, I'm just a stupid teenager that doesn't know anything (keep telling myself that so I don't get attached to anyone). So as far as I'm concerned I don't date.
[edit] Current Education
I used to go to a public school but I am now currently doing school about 4 times at the end of the month. How? you may be asking. I am home-schooled and a procrastinator. Thankfully I'm almost done with school though! All my other friends are jealous or are also home-schooled.
[edit] Religion
I am a born again Christian and I'm not ashamed to say Jesus Christ is my Savior. That being said I believe he is my one and only way to Heaven. So I will proudly die anytime because I know where I'm going!!
[edit] Music
I like a lot of music now ranging from Weezer to Weird Al to Casting Crowns to My Chemical Romance to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. The only concert I have gone to (besides Kingdom Bound) was TSO. It was just a breathtaking experience that is worth every penny and more of the ticket cost. I honestly with I could describe what it was like here but it's just impossible to that! But yea, music is definitely a big part in my life. I think I would rather be dead than have no music in my life. It is as much as an aspect of my life as Evangelion is. And that leads right to.....
[edit] Neon Genesis Evangelion
I think this deserved it's own section because it's such a huge impact on my life.
[edit] How I Came To Learn
Believe it or not this can be lead back to my dad! At that time I was young, I didn't even have a favorite band! But my dad brought home Weird Al's Poodle Hat CD. I listened to one song, AMAZING!! He was so funny and awesome I listened to the whole CD at least 10 times. Of course we burned the CD and I continued my search for music from my new favorite artist. I listen to a lot of his song's and my favorite was I Think I'm A Clone Now. It was about how he was a clone at birth and he could do anything with himself (his real copy). It had the best beat and I just loved it. I was just also starting to get into the internet so I loved downloading music and videos. Oh my goodness, I almost had a heart attack! Come to find out there was a Weird Al video of my favorite song! I downloaded it, of course it took forever on dial-up, and I watched it.... I said to myself, what is this? Anime? I've watched anime a couple of times but I didn't really get into it. So I did some searching on the internet and found out it was an anime called Neon Genesis Evangelion.
[edit] The Early Days
Well I didn't do anymore research except that that's what it was called, OH FRKN BOY!!! Well The video concerned upon Rei Ayanami, who I didn't know at the time, and how her life as a clone was. Well I go to school and start talking and talking about this awesome thing I found out. I said "Guess what I discovered yesterday!! Theres an anime about a secret society of people that were conducting experiments like cloning." But I mean, come on! From watching that video with no prier knowledge of Evangelion, that's what one would think. But that's what I thought. So after a few weeks of researching I found out what it was actually about, giant robots that were fighting these thing's called angels. I always wondered why they were called angels because angels are messenger's from God. Well I was astonished to find out Shinji asked the same thing. But that's all it was to me for awhile, just another cool show about giant robots fighting enemies.
[edit] The Then and Now
Well after years of research and the unnatural need to do it, I now know a LOT more than I did and still like to look into things today. I like to apply most of the psychological aspects to my life and I think that in the end makes me a better person because of it. But Evangelion is definitely a HUGE part of my life and if I never searched that video all those years ago I would definitely be a completely different person today.
[edit] What We Think
[edit] Early Thoughts
Me and my cousin tend to disagree on how our podcast, What We Think, actually began but I tend to remember it this way. I was looking into all of the Apple podcasting stuff like mics volume control and stuff like that and I was like oh that'd be so cool. I went to my favorite cousin and was like "Hey, let's make a podcast." So he thought it would be cool too so we decided to make our first ever episode of..... We couldn't think of a name. We sat there for awhile thinking. I can't remember but one of us was like, so we're talking about what we think, let's call it..... What We Think, and so the title was born. So using Blast Podcast we published our first episode. Of course I was only in the first 5 seconds of the first episode and I had to go home, which is 2 hours away. So he finished it without me.
[edit] The Middle Ages
A very dark time indeed for our new born creation. Many of the first few episodes were short, cheesy, and just plain boring. With the introduction of a new member to the What We Think with Adam and Jordan podcast was a rather..... word I'm looking for..... for lack of a better word, let's use ignorant, ignorant fellow. His name? Anthony. With the use of hypocritical statements like claiming to like the crappy graphics on the Nintendo Wii and claiming to like playing the same games over and over. Yes he was indeed a rather dull fellow and he thought what he actually thought, was right. Well with him, Jordan and Anthony attempted the first video podcast with new sponsor Majon International. But of course, there were problems. The webcam was blurry, the audio was delayed from the video, the file was too big to upload at once, and Anthony looked like a homo, it was horrible! But we should try a better video sometime again.
[edit] The Here and... What? Now!
We are now up to episode Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (17) and I'm back in the last 2 episodes. We have downloads from all over the world such as Japan, Australia, Germany, and Sweden. We also have a website that you can listen to episodes on and you can download them off of. You can also search the iTunes Store for "What We Think" and you'll find it under podcasts. We'll also be working on new episodes soon so keep checking in!
[edit] The Almost Band
[edit] What? A Band? No Way!
I've always wanted a band. Just the idea to me is pretty cool, hanging out with friends playing instruments for fun. So when my best friend, Derek, started learning to play drums, my other friend, Matt, can play a mean keyboard! Anyways, when I learned of their knowledge of these instrument I was like, Let's start a band!! Well we needed a guitar player and I needed a new instrument to start playing, so I now play guitar. Our first practice we got together and just started playing, it was amazing!! Only I didn't play guitar that first practice because I didn't know how to play yet and I didn't have a guitar. So I was also the main singer so I sung that first practice, and the song? Hey There Delilah by the Plain White T's. So later the next week at youth group, we found a kid named Mike to play base for our band. We were officially a band!
[edit] We've Got It Together
Our practices were every Tuesday during that summer from 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock when youth group started. So we all met at the church and we played, sometimes a few kids would come and listen to us. We needed a name. After a long search I came up with The Four Horsemen which everyone agreed on, except Mike who would never tell us until weeks later. Well a little after all this happened, we got a new female singer that happily volunteered for the position. Her name was Lexie. She was a good singer with a beautiful voice. For a short time, I felt like I was on top of the world, everything was going right.
[edit] What Goes Up, Usually Comes Down
Yup everything was going good. BUT!! Our base player, Mike, always came to practice and did NOTHING! He'd just sit there and stare at the music like, duh how do I play this? So we booted him. Matt, the piano player, started losing the want to come so for a few last practices, he was never there, and he was the best player in the band. By that time September came and we all had to go back to school so practices stopped. I made a last ditch effort to start practices again but that failed. Time went on, I still tryed to set something up but nothing worked. Our female singer started to ditch us for guy friends, Matt and his family left the church and Mike started hanging on Lexie as did every other guy except for me and Derek. I still have hopes to this day to get something together but I know that their pointless and won't work. But during that summer of '07, I was as happy as you could be.
[edit] The Scariest Moment In My Life
[edit] Once Upon A Time...
On April 14, 2006 I believe, at our grandmother's house there is a cabin up in the middle of the woods just crossing over state park lands, so it was in the park. Our grandfather always said he was gonna run up there someday to get away from our grandmother. Well, one very dry day, me, Jordan, and his brother Morgan, all go up there to build stuff and have a good time. We build stuff like benches and chairs. We also hike around the near area to find stuff. Well one time we found a pile of metal in the forest there. We looked around in it and found an old grill body and some chairs that you could easily carry and we decided to take them to make the place look a little homier, and it did. Well we wanted to continue construction on more furniture so we needed the hacksaw that was back at the house, which is like a third of a mile. Remembering we had a fire the night before, Jordan offered to bring up in a bucket some hot ash from the fire pit to start a fire in the grill. I was like sure that would be cool, we could cook some food we had and then melt some of the nails we had to make some stuff. So he went down to get them.
[edit] The Panic On His Face Made Me Want To Cry
He came back with the ash, already started as a fire in the bucket, but of course, he didn't bring the saw. So we raked back some leaves to make a dirt pit, put the grill in the center and put the fire in. All was going well, didn't cook any food but we melted some stuff, burned some things, you know, guy stuff. Well I was board so I took the bucket and told Jordan me and Morgan were going to get water from the nearby pond that was about 300 feet away down a little hill. We walked down there and saw a salamander and were like oh let's catch them, which we do every year. So 10 minutes goes by and we put some salamanders in the bucket of water and start walking up. 2 minutes after we left Jordan put a stick in the fire, got it burning and swished it around like anyone would do. He then noticed an ember that fell off into a pile of leaves there, well he tried to stomp it out but it just got bigger. He then tried smothering it with more leaves, but they just burned up and it got bigger. He started yelling for me, I heard his screams while hunting for salamanders but just thought he was getting impatient and didn't want to be stuck up there any longer. So I ignored him. When I started walking back up he was still yelling again and I just yelled back, hold on. Half way there I realized there was too much smoke to be from that one little fire. I started running, carelessly spilling precious water as I ran up and saw a fire with a 20 foot diameter slowly getting bigger. I yelled What happened? and he just yelled back in a scared voice I don't know. And the panic I saw on his face right then made me want to cry.
[edit] All's Right With The World
We were both freaking out. Jordan yelled to me which I remember very clearly, Get down on your knees and pray!! Pray for us!!! I got down on my knees and prayed God, please keep us safe and help put out this fire, but Lord just please keep us safe. One thing God did allow us to have on that day was a walkie-talkie that I don't know why we brought that day. We called back and told our grandmother that we started a fire up here and we need the police department. Well she sent our grandfather up and he came with rakes and his tractor to help. While he was coming up I asked morgan to run into ground-zero and get my famous santa hat and army jacket. Without question he jumped in there grabbed them for me. We told him to run down to the house, tell grandmother how bad it is and stay there for safety. I put on my hat and started to slam my fire-proof military jacket at the flames to put them out which did surprisingly well. Jordan yelled to me to breathe through my shirt so I don't suffocate which was a very good idea. So our grandfather came up like a saint and the first thing he said was 'What did you do?'. So he started raking I kept whipping and Jordan kept stomping. Our grandfather got on the walkie-talkie and told our grandmother that she needed to call the fire department. A few minutes later, which felt like seconds because of the adrenaline, our grandmother got on the mic and asked where we were, how far in we were, and that the fire trucks couldn't get back there, which most certainly was not good! So after a few more minutes, felt like seconds again, the many firemen came in with rakes and started to slowly put it out. Me and Jordan sat and rested over by the tractor our grandfather brought up while they slowly put it out. We were escorted back down to the road by the neighbors house was, because the firemen could access the forrest from a field in their backyard. We were escorted to an ambulance where they checked us out to make sure we were alright. All three of us were okay except Morgan had singe marks on his eyebrows that I believe were from going in to get my hat and jacket. A representative from the state park came up, asked us some questions and told us that they could press charges, but wouldn't because this is our first time. So our grandparents and us three walked up the road to their house, I looked at the ground the whole time, there was nothing I could say, obviously a sorry wouldn't fix this. I came to the back deck and collapsed down in tears as I just laid with my head down crying. My grandmother came up to me and put her hand on my head and said It'll be alright. Of course the incident was in the local paper and probably some local news stations for all we know. But I never blamed anyone but myself for this happening, because if I just would've gone straight down, gotten the water, and when straight back. My cousin Jordan also regrets a lot of things and feel still both feel horrible about it to this day.
