Hi, everyone, E. Z. Poschman here. I’m from California and I do things on the Internet! You’re probably here because of my Youtube videos– I’m also known as The Hungry Reader!<\/p>\n
I’ve been a web presence\u00a0since 1996, when I started my first Geocities page for a shared fiction universe with some friends. That was my first experience with creating a community of talented friends from scratch. In 2000\u00a0I did the same for a speciality artwork website, which became even more populous and active than my first, but then became obsolete with the advent of DeviantArt.<\/p>\n
In 2008, tragic events transformed me into The Hungry Reader, a name I still go by today. At first I expressed my rediscovered love of children’s books through a blog, not entirely different from this one, but it only lasted about six months. Four years later, after much rumination, I released The Wizard Of Oz, the very first Hungry Reader video. And I’ve been keeping up with it (minus a few gaps to play video games now and then) ever since!<\/p>\n
The name “Jarring Contrast” comes from my strangely pathological need to always be different. \u00a0Standing out is very important to me; for example, I looked at a field filled with video game commentators and decided to talk about children’s books instead!\u00a0I crave attention and love having a platform to demonstrate my myriad talents! This blog is just the latest addition to my field of outlets.<\/p>\n
I live in Fresno, CA, near most of my family. I hate the heat, but I love my mom and dad, so it evens out!<\/p>\n
So that’s what’s going on with me. Tell me about yourself and how you found my website, won’t you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hi, everyone, E. Z. Poschman here.
