Ghost Hunting Gear
The first piece of gear is the EMF Detector. It stands for Electromagnetic Field Detectors. It also detects the electromagnetic fields ghosts are said to give off, indicating a ghost may be present. It may spike from other things that possess or give off electromagnetic energy. The next piece is the EVP Recorder, which stands for Electronic Voice Phenomena. It can pick up ghosts voices. Ghosts speak in something white noise. It takes them a lot of energy to speak or manifest, even though when you get a voice on the recorder it almost always sounds like they are whispering. The next one is the motion detector which is set off by a spirit or a person moving through its field of view. One important piece of equipment is a flashlight which comes in handy if you cant afford a night vision camera,.
Even if you do have one you should still carry a flashlight on you just in case of an emergency.

My dream job
"My dream job is to be a professional ghost hunter on TV with my own show and team. I want to start out doing local investigations on houses at night. I need to buy the equipment, then read the equipment manual, then get a team together. After that I would find people that feel their house or apartment is haunted and investigate for a fee. In doing this I could buy more new equipment.
I first got intersted in the paranormal when I was 14. I was living in Lake Oswego. Sometimes you'd hear voices... like someone was parting, but no one would be there. One night I had a shoe thrown at me. It was sitting on the floor next to my bed. Next thing I knew it levitated into the air and popped me in the face. I have also seen a shadow figure around there. It was wearing a black trench coat, black hat, and had semi glowing red eyes. I was the only one who saw it. Some other people heard it. It was dark, and mainly you could see the bushes shake, then the cat darting off."

My favorite video game part 1
My favorite video game is Star Wars, The force Unleashed. The first one starts with you playing as Darth Vader on Kashyyyk, the home world of the Wookies. Darth Vader is on a mission to kill all the Jedi that survived the great Jedi purge, where almost all the Jedi where annihilated. Right when he reaches his target and is going in for the kill, Darth Vader discovers a toddler named Galen Marek who uses the force to take Darth Vaders Lightsaber. After the level that takes place on Kashyyyk you play the rest of the game as Galen Marek who becomes Darth Vaders secret apprentice, now named Starkiller. Starkiller's mission is to destroy the rest of the Jedi. He's told to kill anyone that could report to the Emperor, including stormtroopers among anyone in the empire. Later the Emperor finds out about Starkiller and Darth Vader runs his Lightsaber through Starkillers chest. This almost kills him convincing the emperor he was still loyal. Later, Darth Vader saves Starkillers life by using a droid to pick up his body that was floating in space. He then escapes and starts a rebel alliance to distract the Emperor while Darth Vader and Starkiler try to kill the Emperor. Don't quote me on every thing I wrote above because I haven't beat the game yet.

My ealy years
This is some writing that doesn't necessarily come from me, but I thought it would be cool to share.
"At age 5 my dad came into my life . He started to raise me as thug in an attempt to mold me into what he wanted me to be as I grew up. He then started to to teach me how sell drugs like weed, and two months later was planning on having me start selling. Mom kicked him out before he got me to sell. He was physically, mentally and emotionally abusive to me and mom. About 3 months later I started to act like him so the state took me away. The state put me in Providence Hospital. I was there for 2 weeks and then transferred to Albatinna Kerr. I was put in Oregon state hospital because I beat a women up so badly you couldn't tell who she was. I was there for 3 years and was released when I was 11. I was transferred to Edgefield Treatment Center for a year the night I got into a fight. My opponent threw me into the corner of a door cracking my head open. There was blood everywhere.... The door, the walls, my face. It was almost dripping, there was so much blood. It was like something out of a movie. He was released to his family while I stayed in treatment. About a month later I was put into juvenile hall detention center because I was a runaway. I lived the life of a runaway for about 5 years."

My favorite music genres
My favorite music genres are rap and rock. The reason I like rap is I can relate to some of the things rapers like Eminem rap about like losing freinds that are close too you and drugs. Now I cant fully relate to Eminem about the drugs part, but my dad did all sorts of drugs. For example weed and needles, as well he was a heavy drinker. When ever Im having a stressful day I put on Eminem, or 50 Cent, or sometimes Tech 9. My favorite rock bands are Disturbed, Godsmack, and 5 finger death punch. Currently, I listen to rock when Im angery or depressed. Ive been listeng to rock sense I was 14 years old and I'm 21 now. One song I can realate to is by Disturbed. Its called Inside the fire. The song was talking about David Draimen's girlfriend comiting suicide. I think this happend when he was 17. The way I can relate to this is when I was 15, and living in Salem , OR, I got a call from my best freind. He told me that my girlfriend had hung herself... She was 14 at the time. The next two rock groups I mentioned were Godsmack and 5 finger death dunch. I've been listening too godsmack for about 2 years and 5 finger death punch for about a month now. I try to relate because every song has a story if you pay enough attention.
