== Interview with Rev. Richard "Shrimpy" Ramsey ==
2008-10-01
Lets get started.
Shrimpy: yes, lets do that.
i hear your no stranger to interviews, didn't you just sit-in on an interview with Matt Theissen of Relient K?
Shrimpy: yes, actualy i just happen to luck into that. I was in ohio on business and ran into him as he was going into his hotel room. I hadn't spoke to him in forever and he invited me up to hang out and he happend to be doing an interview for a christian magazine and i threw in a few words here and there.
sounds exciting
Shrimpy: well anything involving myself and Matt is always bound to be exciting
so i take it you and Matt are good friends?
Shrimpy: well, not really "good friends" but we know eachother and we're both christians and we both love the same kind of music. But actualy we rarely ever hung out, but we do have fun when we rarely get to hang out.
is it harder now that he's famous?
Shrimpy: well yeah, i mean it's still hard for me to think of him as "famous" because he's still the shaggy-headed blonde canadian goof i used to work with in Kentucky.
lets talk about your personal life?
Shrimpy: uh-oh *laughs*
whats next in your life?
Shrimpy: um, who can say really? i mean, i'm still working, still advizing but i've lived my life long enough to know that at any moment boom, everything chages.
ever though about starting a family?
Shrimpy: *laughs* well umm, yes i've thought about it and eventualy i'd love to start a family. I can't imagine me not having a family in the future.
but not right now?
Shrimpy: i don't know. I suppose with the right person, i don't see why not.
now i see that you've done alot of traveling in your life...
Shrimpy: right
but you've never left the country, why is that?
Shrimpy: monkey pox *laughs* no actualy, i just haven't. It isn't that i don't want to, just never had the oprotunity. When i move states, its usualy not planned, i just kinda go where i feel needed.
well i can see that you've lived a rather impressive life so far; you've started two business', you were a christian wrestling champion, you've worked with Indipendant record labels, worked with a christian magazine, you've become a minister,you worked with the military and your only twenty four years old. is that correct?
Shrimpy: uh, well yeah. i mean on paper that seems rather impressive, but when i lived it, it didn't seem very impressive. I guess i'm just trying this and that untill i find exactly what God wants me to do. I mean, i know i've been called to be a minister and i'm going to continue that, and i know that i've been called to give spiritual advice and i'll continue that, but as far as where and to whom i work for or with? Thats all on God.
well to wrap this up, as a spiritual advizer, what advice would you give the world?
Shrimpy: When your not laughing, love and when your not loving, laugh. The two greatest gifts God has ever given us and the two strongest forces in the universe are humor and love.
