Jacob Edwards- intro



The blog will be a free flowing conversation.....






Hello, My name is Jacob Edwards. I was born in Kansas City, MO on December 6th, 1987. I lived in Independence my whole childhood, and graduated from William Chrisman Highschool in 2006. Since graduating from higschool, i have yet to really settle down. I worked three jobs for a year, then went to school in Arkansas, then lived and worked in Springfield for a year, then moved back to Kansas City, where I worked and went back to school. Now im back in Springfield, closing in on finally getting my associates and hopefully I am on the fast track to being done with school. I work full time as a barista at starbucks, transferring from my store in Kansas City. Most of my free time is spent either playing or watching sports. Being from Kansas City, I am a proud fan of both the Royals and the Chiefs. Weirdly enough, I also am a fan of the Boston Celtics ( I was a fan when they sucked), the reason being is that I ment Paul Pierce at a basketball camp when I was in the fourth grade. I enjoy reading, mostly long, dramas ( Jon Grisham), but also enjoy comedies. My favorite past times are driving by myself for long distances, and going to the movies alone. The reason being is that I dont tend to get a lot of free time, so when I do, i make it enjoyable (thats what she said.) My favorite TV show is ghost adventures, not so much because I believe in ghosts or anything, but because the guys on that show are crazy. Who else whishes there was a word counter? I went to Puerto Vallarto, Mexico this summer for my best friends wedding. It was the coolest thing that I have ever done, the hotel was right on the beach, we zip lined threw the jungle, swam with dolphins and sealions. Pretty neat. On the way back, our flight in Phoenix was delayed because the front window on the plane just fell off. My favorite part about that is that we could see them fix it, and all they did was put what appeared to be some sort of glue on the window, then stuck the glass back on, then BAM, good to go. The picture is me at some dance my senior year of Highschool ('06). Is this enough?

MEXICO sounds awesome my friend! I bet that was one of the coolest weddings ever! Funny that you mentioned the plane breaking, because when we landed in Chicago from my trip to china this summer, a junk of the ceiling fell off due to turbulance! ;) great story!

It is amazing how much you can come up with to write about after you get going. It sounds like you've had a fulfilling go around with moving and work. You and me both hope this is a fast track after working some of those minimum wage jobs. Who knows maybe you could be one of those crazy ghost hunters or atleast the guy who writes all of their scripts!:)

I hope you were still on the tarmac! I have some funny vacation stories myself, perhaps sometime we can share a few!

you kind of look like seth rogen in this picture, which is awesome! Although you probably work a little harder than he does.

The hair is indeed awesome. However, i feel bad for you having to root for the Royals. At least you have one good team in your favorites. Meeting a professional basketball player, especially one as good as Pierce, is pretty awesome as well.
