About Me

I use the myspace layout generator at UltimateMySpace.com.
Ok so most of the online surveys suck...alot. So here's a little about myself:
1. I was born in Roxborough in Philadelphia Pa. on Jan. 21 1986 and lived there until I was 19. Moved to Norristown PA. and I would never want to move back.
2. I'm the 3rd Joe in the family my Grand pop's name is Joe my dad's name is Joe and...well you get the idea.
3. I have younger sis named Kate and we actually get along pretty well and only try to kill each other on small occasions :) We also look nothing alike.
4. I'm very skilled in drawing and other art mediums. I can pretty much drawing anything you put in front of me. I'm more of a literal artist than a surrealist.
5. I smoke like a choo choo train
6. I'm obsessed with Tigers I collect tons of tiger stuff. I have tiger pictures, posters, sculptures, plates, tiger slippers, salt and pepper shakes, rugs, artwork and anything you can think of.
7. I've blacked out 3 times in my life they still don't know why.
8. I have a brain tumor it's not cancerous but they didn't feel it was a threat when they discovered it ( I was little) So they never tried to remove it. I named it Monica :)
9. If you couldn't tell by now I have a very odd sense of humor and I love making people laugh.
10. My great grandmother was supposed to be aboard the Titanic but never made it because her brothers were too drunk to take her. Thank you alcohol!
11. I have 3 brothers; Sean, Jeff, and Charlie but they're not blood related. I went to gradeschool with Jeff and Charlie and highschool with Sean. If you ever see me out of my house I'm probably hanging out with these guys. they're very good friends of mine.
12. I went to England when I was 18 I stayed in Yorkshire ( but traveled to leeds, london, wakefield) with my friends Bry ( I call her mum)and David (pops) and had the time of my life. I plan on going back there in the near future.
13. I am pretty big into video games! My first system was the NES (Duck Hunt Beotch!), moved on to the SNES (I'm the Davinci of Mario Paint), Genesis, Game Gear, Playstation 1 got me into gaming big time ( tomb raider and metal gear solid were my favs), dreamcast, ps2, and now Xbox 360 :D
14. I helped build my own computer had it for 2 years still works like a damn charm *knocks on wood)
15. My ancestors are from Ireland I take a lot of pride in my heritage
16. I have a youtube account and I bullshit and make funny faces in my video blogs for your viewing pleasure http://www.youtube.com/user/JoeG1986
17. I kick ass at darts
18. I used to work at a zoo
19. I barely watch TV I'm more of a movie freak
20. I went to 2 grade schools they both equally sucked. well.. maybe St. Mary's a little more though I think it's a Dunkin Donuts now.. maybe a 7-11 who knows.
21. I wear goofy boxers. I own all kinds of crazy looking ones and character ones like Mario, Grounds keeper willy from the simpsons, etc.
22. I love taking pictures
23.My favorite band is Nirvana
24. If I'm not wearing shoes 99% of the time I walk around in socks.
25. I have a Fender Stratocaster and I play it mostly for fun.
26. I used to be an internet DJ
27. I have an amazing, beautiful, and awesome girlfriend named Jackie and I love her very much. She owns more of my heart than my rib cage does.
28. Very close to getting my Associates degree and I'm hoping to go to a 4 year artschool.
29. I have my own website which you can find here - http://www.joeillustrated.shesinamorata.com/index.html ..Ok now it's your turn:..
