About Me


My name's Joe
I'm goofy, eclectic, and eccentric.
I'm a little bit realist, a touch cynical, a scoop sarcastic, a pinch hippy, and a heaping steampile playful.
Other than that, I really can't tell you who I am because--just like you--I'm different things to different people. I can, however, tell you a few things that I'm not.
I'm not my bank account.
I'm not the clothes that I wear.
I'm not the music that I listen to.
I'm not the car that I drive.
I'm not my job.
I'm not anything but me.
I love to laugh like it was my job.
I like lakes and other dark, murky bodies of water.
I like that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when the weather turns bad and floods all low-lying areas.
I'm kinda tall, which is very ironic, because everything I love requires you to to be smaller in stature--such as motocross and skateboarding. And of course, running through small passageways escaping from monsters while I'm fighting crime.
I'm inventing a panacea.
I keep having the same dream where a certain tooth falls out.
I wish they'd hurry up and get that whole civilization thing built on Mars, like on the movie Total Recall. I wanna live there.
BIG fan of different kinds of ethnic food.
Actually, I'm just a big fan of food, in general.
Oatmeal is spectacular. More oatmeal, stat.
Coffee is pretty much the best thing we have going for us right now, so yeah, props to coffee.
Another thing that I find really AWESOME is just being outdoors on a warm, sunny day. sunshine on MAH FACE. MAH FACE!!!
I like graceful people.
I love how chaotic life can be. The tough times make the golden times even that more brilliant.
Just do the right thing, and keep towing the line.
I very much dislike monotony, but have learned that in order to keep my sanity, I must always make the best out of each and every (what I call) "boring" moment. There aren't many. Anymore. Maybe there ARE as many, but I've actually succeeded in brainwashing myself into believing that there aren't? How many licks does it take to the tootsie-roll center of a tootsie-roll pop? The world may never know.
I love being nice to everyone.
You can't shove a goat over a bank.
....//....THINGS THAT AMUSE ME....//....
Sarcasm
Kegels
Quick wit
Word substitutions (e.g., Instead of octopuss, you'd say octotwat. Duck-billed platycooch. Instead of ridiculous, it's ricockulous. And the list goes on...
Paint. Not dry paint. The kind in those metal gallon cans or whatever. Doesn't it look like you could just eat the stuff? It kind-of reminds me of yogurt. But since I realize I can't eat it, it'll just have to amuse me.
When people have a nice, big, plush couch out on their front porch and patio furniture in the house. Mmm hmm.

Stuck in the same rut?

When we look back over our past years, if we're optimists, we see everything through rose-colored glasses.  Everything burns a little brighter.  Those past mistakes are attributed to "extern...
