In the illustrious realm of comedic genius, a triumvirate emerges from the shadows, dazzling the world with their unparalleled wit and charm: the ESE alliance! Picture this—three masterminds, each with a unique brand of hilarity, united by their shared mission to spread laughter like confetti at a wedding. Together, they form a comedic Voltron, merging their powers to create gut-busting punchlines that could make even the grumpiest cat crack a smile. Whether it’s their uncanny ability to turn mundane situations into laugh-out-loud escapades or their legendary roast battles that leave audiences gasping for air, the ESE trio is a force of nature. They could probably make a tax seminar sound like a stand-up special, proving that no subject is too dry to be drenched in humor. So here’s to the ESE alliance—may their jokes be sharp, their puns be punny, and their camaraderie forever be the stuff of comedic legends!

Greetings, my name is Ezra. I’m a semi-sane 18 year old. When I say semi-sane I mean that one second I’ll be the calmest and most reasonable guy ever one second, and the next second I’ll be leading an uprising against the most random things simply because I’m bored. Don’t think too hard about that though because I can’t even figure it out. I live in good ole tornadoville, otherwise known as Oklahoma. I live in a more urban environment, but don’t let that fool you. I’m very much a country boy at heart and if you’re around me long enough you’ll know it. For now I’m just trying to survive my senior year of high school then we’ll see what kind of nonsense I can get into as an “adult” (I’ve scared myself with a couple ideas just to warn you). That’s me in a nutshell, now on to the essay XD.

First thing’s first. I am a Christian, a devoted servant of the one true God who sent his son Jesus to die for our sins so that we can have a chance to spend eternity in Heaven with him. God built his perfect world and shared it with us, but humans tore it all down. Every single one of us deserves death for our sins, but God chooses to show mercy and forgive us. God loves everyone even if we screw up. No one said it was going to be easy though. Living for God is a difficult 24/7 job. When you read the Bible it quickly becomes clear that serving the Lord is one of the hardest things you can do, but that struggle in a human's lifetime is worth an eternity of a sin free life with God. The world which is dominated by evil will be against you, but God is stronger, and he will help you through your struggles if you’re willing to seek his help.

Like I said before, I live in Oklahoma. I’m not entirely certain how I survive here, or how anyone survives here for that matter. This place is trying to kill you for all but like 3 months of the year. Summer months I compare this place to an overheating oven, Fall and summer are the same thing 99% of the time. Winter is reasonable most of the time. Then there’s spring. Tornadoes EVERYWHERE along with big hail, so much rain that it floods in like 2 seconds, some insane lightning strikes, more tornadoes, and the cherry on top…it all happens in the middle of the night. A lot of stuff that breaks other stuff, but hey there’s some excitement to be had if you’re brave enough. Don’t get me wrong, these storms do cause a lot of destruction and problems for people, but man are these storms still fun to watch. Between the weather and the obsession with tornadoes that my fellow okies and I have with said weather (I’d compare it to a deer and headlights), I return to my confusion about how we survive.

Some of my favorite things to do include learning military history, reading, exploring, driving vehicles very fast (not on public roads), giving my siblings bad ideas, and pretty much anything that involves a sword. Those last two kind of go together at times. 8 year old with a very sharp sword…..not scary at all. Some of my favorite periods of history are the second punic war, the days of the vikings, the american civil war, both world wars, and any time Rome tried to invade Germania or Parthia (they're comically bad when fighting those two groups). I’m currently reading Lord of the Rings. Yes, I know I'm very late to the party, but get over it.

Like I said earlier, I was born and raised in a suburban environment, but despite that I am still very country. I don’t have a ton of experience with a country lifestyle, but I know all about it, and have had enough experience to know that it beats the city any day. I like learning about farming and related topics. It’s an interesting thing but I doubt I’d be all that good at it lol. I thrive in a good forest. I have family that lives in an amazing, peaceful forest up in Northern New York. It's a fantastic place, and once I finish High school I’ll be moving up there. Go bury myself in a forest and never come back out, that’s my plan. That and carpentry. I love carpentry and home to do it as a career one day.

Well, I’m running out of things to say about myself so I’ll stop dragging this out for you. I hope you have a great day, and remember that there are ways to be reasonably insane XD
