Ka'os Leader Spotlight

Leader Spotlight on:  Jacob Gregory Fletcher

1)  What do you like the most about working with Jr. Highers?

I have the same attention span as they do.  They keep me laughing and guessing, which is always an interesting combination.  

2)  How old are you and if you could have any job in the world what would it be and why?

I am 18 years old.  If I could do anything in the world.... I would travel the world with a band of merry men who steal from the rich and give to the poor.  I would marry a beautiful maiden and pick daily fights with an evil sheriff.  Oh, actually I meant a rock band.  I am a big fan of bands of all kinds:  both rock and rubber. 

3)  What is your favorite meal?

Macoroni and cheese with little hot dogs cut up in it.  I am a simple man.  But actually the macoroni has to be easy mac made by Kraft and it can't be one of those knock off brands and the hot dogs have to be made specifically from real dog.  I prefer smaller breeds like pomoranian or chihuahua, but some bigger breeds taste ok too.  Ok, just kidding about the real dog thing, but seriously its got to be easy mac!

4)  Do you have any brothers and sisters and which person would you be most willing to fight in a ultimate cage match?

I have two older sisters, a younger brother and three dogs.  I would take one of my dogs on in the cage match, but I have to be promised that he wasn't trained by Michael Vick.  Oh wait, too soon?  Ok, I'd fight my sister Lauren but only if the dogs could fight on my side.  Man, I keep coming back to dog fighting, that's not good.  Pray for me.

5)  What is your favorite movie and/or broadway musical and why?

I made you promise you wouldn't tell people about my broadway musical addiction!  Just kidding!  Probably my favorite movie is "Band of Brothers" because they only break out into song two or three times.

6)  What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?

I was riding my bike to church this one time, which I still do almost everyday, and I was texting.  Side note and time for a public service announcement....please don't text and ride your bike.  in 2008 alone their were dozens of bushes, trees, raccoons and fire-hyrdraints that were injured while careless riders were texting and not paying attention.  This is serious and needs our attention.  Only you can prevent forrest fires.  Anyways, back to the story.  I was texting while riding my bike and I crashed into a wall.  Two hours later, I woke up and had forgotten my name.  Dazed and confused, I moved to Dublin and became a pan-handler, making money with my brilliant singer/song writer power ballads.  I met the girl of my dreams and bought her a piano but it didn't work out so I rode my bike back to Gilbert and played some bop-it.  I was texting you by the way, Matt.  Thanks for the amnesia!

 7)  What would you find yourself doing on a normal Friday night?

Most Fridays I ask myself, "What should I do tonight?"  I usually don't answer myself on the first time, so I ask again..."What should I do tonight?"  At this point, I ignore myself again and I start to get annoyed and ask a third time, "WHAT SHOULD I DO TONIGHT?"  At this point its hopeless, I am being stubborn, so I am not going to answer.  So I put in a movie.  Why don't I have any friends?  Oh, maybe that's why.  (Editor's Note:  Jacob has a lot of friends and he is a lot of fun to watch a movie with; he is just kidding about schizophrenia....side note- never kid about schizophrenia.)

8)  Would you consider yourself an outdoorsman and if so what is the most outdoorsy thing you have ever done?

I wouldn't consider myself outdoorsy, but I do like to camp.  I like to set up tents inside of my friends houses.  When they ask me what I am doing, I pretend like they are a grizzly bear trying to attack me.  I act like I am bigger than I am by putting my hands in the air in an intimidating fashion.  If they come closer to me, I box them on the ears.  I sometimes wave fire in front of them in attempts to scare them off.  This rarely works.  I get a lot of weird looks when I repeat this behavior inside of sporting good stores.

9)  What are some of your favorite things to do…you know your hobbies?

I like playing and listening to music, riding my bike, running- but only when chased by medieval warriors who look like they are angry.  This has happened to me three times, believe it or not.  One time was when me and my friend Ted went back in time in a time-machine phone book to collect historical figures for our oral report in history class.  We collected other figures such as:  Beethoven, Ghangis Khan, Joan of Arc and Abraham Lincoln.  Oh wait that was "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure."  What was the question again?

10)  What does Jesus mean to you?

Jesus is the giver of life.  I know that through every thing I have done I deserve death, but through Him who conquered death, I have life!
