Jay doesn't remember, but he and I first met in pre-kindergarten. The only thing I remember is someone saying "Hey! So-and-so is here!" I couldn't remember his name, but he was probably at the apex of his popularity at that point. I don't recall talking to him.

Flash forward to the first grade. He and I had Mrs. Mikelson and almost instanty became really good friends. We had the same second grade teacher as well and by the time that ended, he was competing with Frank to be my best friend. By the time we were in the fourth grade we were doing radio movies together as "AJ Productions." Picture two 11 year olds improvising for 90 minutes and you'll get a pretty clear idea of how good those were. By junior high we were creating movies together and shifted AJP towards doing comedy movies with recurring characters put in different situations (soldiers, ministers, athletes, etc.). They were marginally better, but perhaps only because they were not as excruciatingly long. By the time we hit high school, we were making video movies that were cute and, thankfully, even shorter.

We became even closer in high school as we both circled our lives around ACME. Unfortunately two close as we found ourselves repeatedly competing for the same female-types. Somehow, we survived that and other adolescent conflicts.

We parted ways when the time for college came. I went local to the University of Houston while he went off to Baylor University in Waco. After a year or so, I tried like the dickens to get him to transfer, but it was not to be. We were somewhat distant at first, but once ICQ came around we stayed in contact beyond periodic emails and our friendship was renewed. When we joined with Adam and Brian to form No-Lyfe Productions we started spending even more time together and were reunited creatively.

He remains one of the biggest sacrifices I'm making by leaving Texas, though we've been talking of creative avenues that we can pursue. He's finishing up school at Baylor and will head out to Austin, Florida, or California when he finishes that in May of 2004.
