Where anything in the Ponstralian YouTube life lives here!

When I was only eleven, I played Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 on PS2.  There was one track that was very difficult to unlock.  That track name was Palm City Island.  I had some history of fantasy city names in my own internal fantasy world.  Then, Palm City Island became very popular for me, including the location in the land named Aquatica (that name also came from a Need for Speed track).  Again, these names were not existed on planet Earth.  After I played Halo 1 in summer ’08, I created a new fantasy world featuring the cities of Palm City Island and Komolulu.  How did Komolulu started? 

I was a member of the Twin Lakes Marching Band for four years.  In addition, I was a low brass section leader (played euphonium – miniature tuba) for two years.  A few weeks before band camp, I created the “Komolulu” name.  I went to Honolulu, Hawai’i in November 2007.  It was a long story.  At the time Stephen Healy and Jordan Gutterman were my best friends. (pictures seen below)

On November 16, 2007, which happened to be Oklahoma’s centennial celebration of statehood, I watched The Sting play.  I knew before I went to the performance that I would see Jordan for the final time before I went to Hawai’i with the Twin Lakes band.  Furthermore, I knew that I might see Jordan wearing gloves in her play outfit.  When she came out with a card (traditional in a 1940s play), she had a dark purple dress with black gloves to the midway point between her elbow and her shoulder.  I thought, “The next I will see her, I will beat her up because of the firsts I have experienced.  This includes flying in an airplane.”  That move cost me a date with her to the winter formal.  Since then, I have not really had a real date.  I wanted to name something Hawaiian-like for that reason, but I wanted to have an Indiana twist.  The “Komo” came from the last four letters of the city “Kokomo” in north central Indiana.  In September 20, 2008, the Twin Lakes Band went to Kokomo for an invitational.  The band did horrible!  Mr. Kubly told the section leaders, including me, for a brief discussion after the performance.  He questioned them loudly, “Why are you doing the motions instead of performing?”  Then, the band went to Fort Wayne on October 11, 2008, and the band finished first against bands that went to state almost every year.  The last time the Twin Lakes Marching Band went to state was in 2002.  I was not even in middle school at the time.  I have decided to change the name from Komolulu to Wayalula (say this name like a Spanish name) because I have always done well in everything.  The “Way” came from the name of “Fort Wayne”; however, the “lula” came from a Hawaiian stem in feminine version.  Later in January 2009, I learned the Spanish word of “austral”, meaning southerner.  Then, I learned in the same class that the name “Australia” came from the “austral” prefix since Australia is located in the southern hemisphere.  I was one of the first people to celebrate a birthday since the final day of the school year.  In Sydney, it is one of the first cities to celebrate New Year’s Day.  Both of these celebrations happen in the summertime.  Furthermore, I loved the country of Australia.  In fact, if I would to live outside of the United States, I would live in Australia.  If I wanted to vacation in the Pacific., I would try to visit Sydney or Brisbane.  Therefore, I created a fantasy region name called “Waystralia” (it is actually pronounced why-stralia).  The name does not seem fantasy anymore because it has been on the Internet, especially here on my website blog, YouTube, MySpace, and Facebook.  It would be critical because by the summer of 2009, something changed on the Internet.
