It’s ajTwist!
The main brain behind Collision 28 which is home to Unfocused Podcast.
I’m going to write this in the first person caz it is me after all…
I like doing stuff. I guess thats all it is… I don’t really know what my purpose is… thats wrong, I know what I’m TRYING to do. I’m trying to create a place people can come and chill out while doing what they like. Or at least find something they like. A place where you don’t have to be afraid of what you might not know. A place to learn what everyone else knows so that you might be able to understand and hold your own. Something like that.
But back to “I like doing stuff”. I like making stuff that other people can enjoy or trip out on while calling it my own. I like creating stuff from nothing or from the cheapest material. Example: I made a series of paper race cars back in 4th grade out of paper, tape and some markers. Just use a straw to blow them down a runway. OR the paper Yoshi’s that threw paper eggs! That was awesome. I even tried creating my own Pokemon game similar to pokemon cards. There was also a small maze/board game that you would go through to catch new pokemon LOL (I still have the stand up cut outs!). The only person who ever really appreciteated most of the things I made back then was my little sister who is 5 years younger than I.
Discovered I could twist my foot sometime around that time… then somewhere down the road I got the nick name Twist. Can’t remember if it was given to me or if I made it up.
Mom and Dad gave in and gave us the Playstation. Fell in love with Tekken 2 but couldn’t get pass the final boss. A family member’s friend saw and showed me how to mess with the options to help me out. 1 round, easy. Slowly started to learn how the game ‘really’ worked.
Then I found music. Never did much with it right away. Then I got a computer, complete with dial up internet. Fooled around with websites for a while. Then Started burning Music mixes and making “remix”.
For a class project in 8th grade I discovered I like video editing! And then I slowly started experimenting with music too. Created a label called Twisted Records.
Made a few videos. Music videos. Original music. Back to websites to show off the projects I did. Learned how to use FLASH a little bit. Transformed into Twisted Productions.
Then made AMVs. Then did a lot of focusing on learning combos and juggles in such games at Tekken, Soul Calibur and Super Smash Bros. Melee. That’s the personal start up for a lot of what’s has happened today.
