A Little Bit About Me
My name is Joshua P. Carter. I live in this little place called Damascus Oregon, with my parents, my 2 younger brothers and my youngest sister. I have been home-schooled up until my senior year, where I've been taking classes at Mt. Hood Community College. I am an Eagle Scout from BSA Troop 49 and I love the outdoors, spending time with friends, playing games and just life in general.
I am a Christian, and that's a huge part of my character, and how I make my decisions. I try my best in everything, but I make no promise to be perfect. I'm there for you in time of trouble, I'm there to joke, I'm there to laugh. I aim to be someone who builds people up, and I love doing it.
Also, I'm a "good kid".
I haven't done drugs, I don't have the same struggles that a lot of guys do. I have nice different struggles. But that doesn't make me better.
I do the stuff to try to get people to like me. I sometimes feel like I'm a slave to society in this way, but if I can model a good example for others I'm not convinced that this is a bad thing.
The most important thing is that in everything done, I MUST BE MYSELF. I cannot put on a mask of someone else. So whenever you read my blog, you will find my truth. It may be rough, it may be foreign, but it's what I truly believed at the time of writing it and probably still now.

Favorite Music
I can't even say enough about music. It's a huge part of who I am, and it influences me greatly. I pick and choose what I listen to VERY carefully, but what I listen to I listen to almost non-stop. I really enjoy listening to the undertones of music and learning the meaning behind the music. I love artists that layer the music well, and weave it all together nicely. I'm not a person that understands how to play music, but I love listening to it. I so love listening to it.
I'm a fan of rock, heavy metal, 70-80's music and alternative rock. Other genres that I like well enough include: Pop-Rock, some pop, hard rock, symphonic music, musical numbers, pretty much any foreign punk, folk, electronic, 90's hip hop, and a few others I can't think of at the moment.
As you can see, I listen to quite the variety of stuff, and despite what other may think (shakes fist at Kendrick) I do listen to more than 80's rock. I really would like to meet Alice Cooper someday, and I would love to be a sound guy for a musical group sometime. We shall see.

I'm not crazy about rules, but I am all over standards. I hold myself to quite a few standards, and a few of them on the blog.

I'm not crazy about rules, but I am all over standards. I hold myself to quite a few standards, and a few of them on the blog.
- I will not edit stuff out of old posts*
- I will be truthful in my posts
* The only exceptions to this rule is if I need to fix a grammar problem, or I need to change something to protect an individual.
