WAYNE 17 | STRAIGHT | PROFESSIONAL COWBOY | HIGH SCHOOL KID | SCOTTY MCCREERY THE INTERVIEW HELLO. THANKS FOR COMING IN TODAY. SHALL WE START WITH YOUR NAME? [timber walks in proudly, a huge grin on his lips as he sits down in the empty chair in front of the woman. almost immediately she is bombarded with a huge southern drawl that she kept escape.] "what's up dude, my name is timber kinkaid wayne. i'm in no way related to the john wayne but when i was younger i use to say it all the time." [covers his mouth with the back of his hand as he chuckles quietly to himself.] "i couldn't help it, teachers use to always ask me and i just thought it'd be interesting if i said yes..so i did. though that was back in louisiana, now i just say no and they leave it alone. the name timber is pretty basic, at least in my eyes. i ain't never been teased for it and if i have they've never said it to me. even if they did i don't think i'd care all too much, it's ain't that big of a deal. my middle name, kinkaid, is my daddy's name. they were going to make it my first name but my mom fought for timber so my daddy gave it to her. as for nicknames, people call me tk or tim..anything that they can come up with i answer to..most of the time." THAT'S A NICE NAME. WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING? "well i'm a senior in high school, so i'm getting ready to graduate soon and i can't freakin' wait. when i'm not at school playing baseball, you'll find me on my daddy's ranch helping him out or out practicing my all time favorite sport - bull-riding." [timber leans forward and claps his hands together one time in a burst of excitement. there's a twinkle in his eye as he talks about his passion, it's a sport that has been in his family for generations. he hopes to one day have a son of his own so that he too can join in on the festivities.] "i've been riding bulls since as long as i can really remember. it's a family sport, my daddy was a professional and so was my brother and i guess..it's just in my blood, i don't know. a lot of people when they find out they're lookin' at me like.." [raises a brow and shifts his eyes back and forth, mimicking the faces that he constantly gets.] "are you crazy, why the hell would ya wanna do that shit?, and i get it 'cause not a lot of people my age do what i do. like i always say, i live my life eight seconds at a time." INTERESTING. WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN? "for fun? you wanna know what i do to keep myself from going crazy? damn, how much time do you got?" [he gives her his well-known charismatic grin before chuckling quietly.] "alright well, i'm definitely an outdoors kind of guy. i can't stand being cooped up in the house, watching tv or just..ugh, i need to be active and not sitting on my ass. i practically grew up outside, i mean, i am one with nature. mother earth is a part of me and i am a part of her." [timber stares at the interviewer with a serious expression before bursting out into a fit of laughter.] "i'm sorry, no but seriously - i live to be outside. i'm at peace..when i'm outside. i love playing baseball - it's the sport that shoved me to top in school. i have no shame in saying that i am probably the best damn thing to ever happen to that team, i mean, without me they would still be shit. then something else i enjoy doing obviously is bull-riding, i practice often at my daddy's ranch - which is also my job that i do every damn day. i wake up in the morning and feed our other animals, the chickens and pigs and what not. then i go to school and do all that shit; smile in the teachers faces, hang out with my girlfriend and my buddies and then i'm back at home working my ass off at the stables. to most people it doesn't sound all that appealing but to me, i just love doing it, it's in my blood and i can't get enough." [the young man sighs, licking his lips before he continues with listing his hobbies.] "alright, not sure if you're sensitive or whatever but i also enjoy hunting. it's something i've been doing since i was knee high, wait not even, i've been doing this since i was in my momma's stomach." [he's aware of the look he's getting and he closes his eyes while nodding his head. he often had to clarify most of his responses because they either didn't make sense or people didn't understand his metaphors.] "my momma use to go hunting with my dad all the time when they were together and she went with him right up until she gave birth to me. so i always like to say i came out with my bow in my left hand and a bottle in the other.." [pauses for a moment to nod his head as if he were impressed with himself, before dropping his grin and holding up his index finger.] "and a my gun strapped to my back.." WOULD YOU SAY THOSE ACTIVITIES REFLECT WHO YOU ARE? "do those activites reflect who i am, i don't know - do the activities that you enjoy doing reflect who you are? i saw the face you made when i told you i hunted, are you some kind of peta freak? do you realize that hunting deer and other animals, is not..as bad as you think. if we didn't hunt deer then they would be running around all over the place, i'm sure there would even be one in here with us doing this damn interview." [timber pulls a face, rolling his eyes before he nods his head apologetically.] "sorry..let's just leave that subject alone. uhh, yeah i guess they do. i mean, i'm a hard worker. i work my..pardon my french, but i work my ass off everyday. if i put my mind to something, i'm gonna finish it. i've never been the type of person to give up, it's just not in my nature to do so. ever. so..you can take that to the bank. [pops his knuckles as he stares at the interviewer before continuing.] "like i said earlier, i like to live my life eight seconds at a time or really just day to day i'm not really into planning things. that's for women folk..to plan. i just show up and hope for the best. [he can't help but chuckle a little.] "so hardworking, we covered that - i'm also a team player and i guess that would tie into me being a family man. i love my family to death, even my step-parents..you know..i love them just the same. i'd also like to think my friends are my family, they are wlecomed to my house anytime - doors are always opened. i grew up in louisiana for a bit and then i moved to texas before coming here last year and i think our open door policy comes from our southern charm. it's just always been that way, i don't know no different." [he throws up his hands, shaking his head in the process.] "not sure what else i'm s'pouse to say..i feel like you kind of got the idea of me. i mean..i'm goofy, i goof a lot - i try not to take myself too seriously. only time when i'm serious is when i'm on the back of a bull because i don't wanna die. i'm awesome and..dying right now is just not on my list of things to do." A COOL CAT LIKE YOU MUST HAVE A TON OF SUITORS FLOCKING TO YOU, HUH? "is this your way of asking me out? you do know that i'm seventeen, right?" [timber barks out a laugh before shaking his head.] "i'm just messin' , but uh - i'm already taken. i got a girlfriend, she lives in texas but she is coming out here soon to visit. i think she's gonna spend her senior here, i'm sure - we talked about it. and by we i mean myself, her and her parents and mine to see what they thought about it. it's looking so..hopefully she'll be able to, i don't know. i've been with shannon since my freshman year of high school but i've known her my whole life and she was the one who helped keep me sane when i had my car accident and loss my best friend. i had my family to rely on but it was nice to know that i had someone else there to help me, you know. i do plan on asking her to marry me, the when is still not clear but if i join the military then it'll be before i leave that's for sure. i love her and i tell her that every damn day." COOL BEANS. THEY SAY YOUR FAMILY SHAPES WHO YOU ARE. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOURS? "to me, family is the most important thing anyone could have ever. i wouldn't be who i am today if it weren't for my family and boy, do i got a lot of 'em. my parents had been together since they were in middle school, the story was that ever since they were like nine or whatever - my daddy said that he would marry her. weird i know but hey, i guess there truly is such a thing as love at first sight. so yeah, they were destined to be in each other's lives but they divorced when i was like ten so.." [timber shrugs his shoulders at the fact. he knows his parents don't love him or his siblings any less, he understands that sometimes you can still love a person but it's possible to fall out of love. he doesn't have any secret desires of the two of them rekindling, he actually loves his step-parents very much.] "my relationship with my daddy is great, he's one of the people that i look up to and just..he can do no wrong in my eyes. growing up, i always wanted to be like him and the way he treats his family and the people around him..it really helps me try and stay on the straight and narrow. same goes for my step-dad, pappa joe. when my daddy moved up here, joe was the man that i turned to and he stepped up and took care of me and my brother as if we were his own. that right there just shows you what kind of man he is, i tell ya, i just really lucked up. when it comes to my two momma's..i don't mess around. actually, just don't mess with my family period and we'll be okay. it's funny how sometimes i see these shows or my friends and the way they talk to them is just like..i sit there and i go, what the hell is wrong with you? i don't get how they can treat the woman who helped create them or any woman for that matter like that. it's terrible. seriously terrible. but anyway, yeah both of them have my heart. when it comes to siblings, i got a lot. between my daddy and momma, there was two of us: me and justice. justice is my older brother and the two of us, it's basically your typical brother to brother relationship. we like to annoy one another but it usually just ends up with the both of us laughing at failed attempts. he's a great man, he's in utah right now with his wife and kids - he's stationed out there for the summer but he'll be back once he's done with the marines. i'm happy, can't wait to have him back so he can help me and daddy with the ranch. get him back on that bull so he can make some real money.." [timmy chuckles a bit before shaking his head. the love that he has for justice is endless, there is nothing that he wouldn't do for him or for any of his family members to be honest. his loyalty, love and commitment runs that deep.] "then there's the step-brother, vernan, that came along with my daddy's wife. he's my age, i'm a few months older and it's just..yeah - the two of us are a match made in heaven, lemme tell you. the rest are the little munchkins, i got younger siblings coming out the ass around here. you'd think they'd stop but my momma is pregnant and she says this is here last one but who knows, she said that about the floyd. anyway, so the younger ones from my daddy are: denver, banner and herschel. blaze and floyd are from my momma, plus she has my little sister clementine on the way..so that's.." [he trails off to get the total of his siblings, the faint sound of their names rolling off his tongue as he uses his fingers.] "so far there's nine of us all together and at this rate, it ain't gonna stop no time soon. AND YOUR LIFE? TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PAST. I'M EAGER TO HEAR. "i was born in lovelady, texas; it's this small little town outside of houston..more so outside of huntsville but..whatever. yeah i was born there but i grew up in louisiana and spent most of my childhood there living a really fun and good life. i loved it in louisiana, it was good food and just a good source of entertainment. louisiana is place where i learned a lot of my family values from, out there everyone takes care of each other - whether you family or not. if you got a problem with anything, you can count on your neighbors to help you out in anyway they can. it's just a wonderful feeling, it really is." [any chance that his family can get, they find their way back in louisiana during summer breaks and certain holidays to spend with the family that's scattered around out there.] "but uh, growing my brother and i were always a busy kids - my parents can tell you that it was hard keeping us still. we were always on the go, always wanting to go with my dad huntin' or to work with him. i was like forget school i wanna go work with my daddy not learn math. after a while they started to realize that and it was then that they showed me that certain subjects tied in with hunting, like learning your yards and knowing the different kind of animals and learning where they come from and how they operate. so, i started taking my school work seriously and then everything started falling into place. it was good for a while until my parents came and told us that they were getting a divorce - which took me by surprise. i never saw it coming, i never saw them fighting or nothing, it was just like one day they weren't in love with each other anymore." [timber isn't phased by the divorce at all, if anything it seemed like it made everything better. his parents did their best at keeping their problems out of children's life and just focused on raising their children the right way. by doing that his father showed him how to treat a woman, even if you don't get along with them anymore.] "so our momma moved us back to texas while my daddy moved all over before settling here in brunswick where he remarried and..did all that other stuff. but back to me, um, growing up in texas really wasn't any different. i had started playing baseball and riding horses back when i was like ten so - i just picked it back up when we got to texas. i'd say i was thirteen when my momma started dating poppa joe - i knew him for a while so, it was pretty easy to get along with him." [he raises a brow when he's asked how he knew him and timber just shrugged his shoulders.] "my momma was a barrel racer and my daddy was a bullrider so, we grew up around a lot of their friends. poppa joe was one of my momma's good friends so i guess it was only a matter of time before he stepped up to the plate. apparently he had been carrying that torch for her for so long they thought his arm was gonna fall off." [timber chuckles before continuing.] "like i said, i started my career as a cowboy when i was like five ridding muttons and from there i went to steers and then horses and bulls came shortly after. every competition that i had been in, i was coming in first and winning my favorite buckles to wear." [he lifts his shirt a little to show off one of his buckles, a huge grin on his lips as he looks down at it.] "it's wear i met my best friend in the entire world, dakota, he was steer wrangler and the two of us, we just..being with him i can tell you gave me some of the best memories in my life." "he lived right down the road from me and we went to school together and.." [timber trails off, clearing his throat to keep from getting to emotional.] "we were in car accident my sophmore year in high school, we ended up running into a tree and just..messed up the truck completely. he died on impact and all i got was measley knock on the head and a few scrapes and bruises. i'll never forget that day or him for the rest of my life..it sucks not having him here. he was like my brother and losing him was like losing a part of myself..i'm a strong person but that rocked me to my core and i...i just miss him." [the truth was the guilt that he had for killing his best friend still bothered him but he wouldn't dare speak up with the truth now. he fucked up all of those years ago that if he tells the truth now, it'll be all over.] "it had been a couple of months after cody died that my dad called me up and asked if i wanted to come out and help him on his ranch. i know that he was just asking because he thought that a change of scenery would do me some good but i agreed and came out here my junior year. so far, it's been pretty good - i mean, i'm making a name for myself and the people are great. i get to spend time with my daddy and my little siblings that i rarely to see, it's nice." What about a secret? Everyone has a secret. [timber's face contorts into a frown as he listens to the question. no way he was airing that dirty secret, the last thing he wanted to do was to go to jail for murder and possibly some other charges. the day timber and his best friend were in that terrible car accident, timber had been the one driving and not dakota. the truth was that they had been out going to various parties and getting completely wasted and on their way home, timber ended up veering off of the road and colliding into a tree. he wasn't sure how long he had been passed out but when he woke up, he suffered minor injuries except for the concussion and gash to his head but dakota hadn't been that lucky. timber sat there calling out his name for what seemed like an eternity before he finally realzed that he was dead and he wasn't coming back. for whatever unknown reason, the thought came to him that said - switch seats. save your ass. he had a guilty feeling rotting in his gut but it didn't stop him from doing it. as he saw the blue and red lights flashing and the faint sirens in the distance, he pulled dakota's body towards the driver's seat and made it look as if he had been checking him out. timber had never been caught and even though he appears to have nothing to worry about, in the back of his head he's always worried that someday he's going to get caught.] "a secret of mine is that i sometimes play with my baby sister. ...meaning she sometimes has me play dolls with her and as much as it bothers me, i do it because i love her. and we don't play dolls all the time, she comes out and hunts with me or plays baseball with us - she's also a barrel racer, so be prepared to see her gorgeous little face on tv someday." ALRIGHT. TIME'S ALMOST UP. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DREAMS. QUICK! dreams? okay uhh, part of me wants to go to college right after high school and play baseball but then the other half says go to army and become a ranger. i'm more so leaning towards the military, just cause that's what i see myself doing as far as career wise. i mean i could still do rodeo's, i'm always gonna be a cowboy that ain't ever gonna change. i mean..i don't know, i got all this summer and the rest of the school year to think about it so.." [timber shakes his head, shrugging his shoulders.] "we'll see what happens." AND THAT'S A WRAP. IT WAS NICE GETTING TO KNOW YOU. "was it? was it nice getting to know me? ya damn right it was, because i am a big deal. you will see me on tv in the future, not really but...yeah. thanks.
