  had in the back of my mind for several years now.
• 1:08
  And I've talked about it with my wife with my friends here and
• 1:14
  there but wasn't until some recent life vest that happened
• 1:19
  that kind of just really I guess you could say kind of gave me
• 1:24
  the push to Put words into actions that too or I guess in
• 1:32
  this case, play actions into words and to really begin this
• 1:39
  journey to get this thing off the ground.
• 1:46
  So a little background on myself like some bomb, born and raised
• 1:53
  right here in Texas, grew up in a small country town on the
• 1:59
  texas-louisiana border. Small town, called Jasper many
• 2:05
  of you may or may not have heard of it but that's That place is a
• 2:11
  whole story within itself that out for sure have to do a whole
• 2:16
  episode or a whole topic about another day but that's where I'm
• 2:20
  from currently. I live up in the Dallas-Fort
• 2:24
  Worth area, pretty much been here since about 2012.
• 2:31
  When I finished College down in Marshall moved up here stay with
• 2:38
  my sister for a couple of years. Ears hurt her family before,
• 2:42
  venturing out on my own. And now I'm married to my lovely
• 2:48
  wife 5:30 crazy and cool kids. Three boys twin girls and fun
• 2:59
  fact. My baby boy is named Vash. now
• 3:05
  if you know where the name comes from, comes from one of my
• 3:08
  favorite anime series of all time tracking and if you don't
• 3:13
  know that, hey my people think hey, it's just a cornet but
• 3:18
  that's also another My son getting the name Vash is also,
• 3:23
  another whole story within itself.
• 3:26
  So can't wait talking. Set some time aside and just
• 3:31
  kind of go down there. Memory Lane rabbit hole on
• 3:36
  discussing him and stuff. So, man.
• 3:40
  So that's kind of, you know, it General rundown of no current,
• 3:44
  my current life stay professionally, work-wise.
• 3:50
  I'm IT Tech by day. I've been doing And working in
• 3:56
  the it field professionally for about eight years.
• 3:59
  At this point that I have been dabbling and tinkering with
• 4:04
  stuff as far back as I can remember growing up as a kid.
• 4:10
  Taking apart the VCR at the house and you know messing
• 4:15
  around with stuff. Helping my grandma figure out
• 4:20
  how her satellite box worked when that first when she first
• 4:24
  got that at her house in the early 2000s late 90s Whenever
• 4:28
  there was just a lot lots of great memories there. yeah, and
• 4:37
  I'm a as mentioned before big gamer primarily skew more
• 4:43
  towards the single player story, Focus stuff.
• 4:48
  So stuff like your god of War's Last of Us, Spider-Man Miles
• 4:53
  Morales, things of that nature. You know, I do kind of dabble
• 5:01
  here and there with Multiplayer and online stuff like Destiny
• 5:06
  and the division but my heart is with the single-player narrative
• 5:13
  stuff on the anime and manga side.
• 5:18
  Some of my all-time favorites. When it comes to those would be
• 5:24
  Fullmetal Alchemist, Brotherhood have a tattoo of that on my arm
• 5:30
  Try again Code Geass. Really dig a lot of the new
• 5:37
  stuff as well and recent years. Like Jujutsu Kaizen.
• 5:42
  Dr. Stone promised. Neverland my hero Academia.
• 5:49
  And I can go on and on and on and on, but that's not what this
• 5:53
  talk is about today. So they're just kind of, you
• 5:54
  know, a little brief introduction about myself.
• 6:00
  But best believe. there will be a full episode and discussion
• 6:07
  about what shows on watching, what manga I'm currently reading
• 6:13
  through as you can expect from from a man who named his son
• 6:19
  after a anime manga character. So, yeah, I have you have we'll
• 6:26
  have plenty of those fun things coming up in the future.
• 6:31
  So yeah, just some a pivot, a little bit kind of go back a
• 6:38
  second. so I mentioned earlier, couple minutes ago, that there
• 6:46
  were some Life Changes life for vest that kind of Brought me to.
• 6:54
  Where I am now, now, here, here recording.
• 6:57
  This podcast are like, What time is it?
• 7:01
  3:00 a.m. there's the night on a Saturday.
• 7:06
  I'm going into Sunday 3 a.m. yes, so what brought me here was
• 7:17
  the last six months of my life have been pretty crazy to say
• 7:25
  the least. My older sister passed away back
• 7:32
  in October right before her birthday.
• 7:36
  Then my wife's grandfather passed away to his for
• 7:41
  Christmas. Then.
• 7:46
  My mother passed away. At the end of January this past
• 7:51
  January 2021, a couple weeks after my birthday.
• 7:57
  So, to say the least, I'm hurting.
• 8:04
  Physically mentally. It has been very taxing, very
• 8:11
  straining on me, myself, my family. but, That is why I am
• 8:22
  doing what I'm doing at this moment, recording this podcast.
• 8:29
  because I realized in the last couple of weeks that If I sit
• 8:38
  idle too long and let my mind wander, then, obviously, no
• 8:43
  start thinking about them, which isn't a bad thing, but they're
• 8:49
  starts making me sad depressed. And things of that nature.
• 8:58
  And so, you know, being being being a family, man, You know
• 9:05
  trying to do my best to put on a tough face and you know be
• 9:10
  strong for everybody. You know can't can't can't be
• 9:15
  very draining you know bless my awesome wife and a lot of my
• 9:23
  close friends and family that You know, have been there for me
• 9:28
  during these times to kind of help push me through.
