How I came to be an Evangelion Fan

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. Well I didn't do anymore research except that that's what it was called, OH FREAKIN' 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. 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. Luckily this year (2008), 5 years after I learned of Eva, I have found this great place with these great people, and I couldn't have found any better group of people if I tried.

My Podcast

Me and my cousin have an ongoing podcast entitled 'What We Think'. Just something I like to do with him in my free time. But we never get together enough so it's very hard to make episodes. We are pretty much the 'official' sponsor of Zeak's animated Re-Take Project. You can see our logo in the opening credits of his trailers and the actual movie.
