I am!

But before I say anything more, I want to say "Hi!". I'm new here, been a HUGE fan of P.O.D. though since I first heard "Youth of the Nation", which if my memory serves me right, was released in 2001. So, I've LOVED this band for about 7 years now, and I love everything they've done pre-Satellite and post. I own every P.O.D. album Satellite and post, and I especially loved their last, WA&SD- I thought it was phenomenal and their best yet.

Anyway, when I ordered WA&SD, I had NO clue my name would be put on a "Warrior Wall", nor had I any knowledge of them planning to make one. I had just purchased the album online many months in advance, being the big fan that I am, not expecting a poster, much less one with my name on it. I was psyched to find my name on the Warrior Wall!
When I first become a fan of P.O.D.'s, it was a really exciting thing for me, because I felt like I'd found the perfect band who made the perfect music to enjoy and to glorify God with...but soon, a part of me felt bad, because I felt I could never experience P.O.D. the way my older cousin's had, or many of P.O.D.'s older fans who had the opportunity to go to their earlier concerts and experience them when they were at their peak of fame. In 2001, I was only 10/11 years old. By the time I was old enough to attend concerts, P.O.D had released Testify, and it was becoming ever-apparent to me that things had definitely slowed down, and to experience the true feeling of being a part of the movement and being a true warrior seemed over for me. But the day I received this poster with my name on it made me realize that it didn't matter if I didn't get the chance to see them when they were most successful, or when they were "cool", it was the fact that I was a fan now, and I had a common love for music and for the Lord that made me a warrior, and my name being on that wall proved that.

Yeah, long story over.

So, are you on the Warrior Wall?
