About Me

Layout made by timnboys My name is Joe. I'm Athletic and I like tennis, martial arts, figure skating and other sports of that "classy" nature. I am a Physics/Mathmatics major in a community college where I am finishing up a triple degree (AS in Science, AS in Physics and AS in Mathmatics) and waiting to get accepted to MIT. I used to be a Zoology major and to be exact was going into the field of herpetology (reptiles and amphibians) but it's still a #1 hobby. I am about to join the Air Force where I plan on ranking as an Officer after my degrees; seeking jobs specializing in physics, astrophysics and aeronautical and astronautical engineering where I hopefully will be a test pilot. I plan on eventually working for NASA, hopefully as a test pilot. After I complete at least one of my bachelors degrees I will apply for Astronaut Candidate School for which I will then qualify. Goal was to pilot and then command a shuttle mission, but they are retiring the shuttle in 2010 so now I have my mind set on piloting and eventually commanding a mission on the new Constellation Spacecraft. If not I would at least want to work on or in the ISS (International Space Station) however I would like to be part of a moon or mars expedition. Im a fun loving guy, honest, open minded, and not too self absorbed or too self richeous.I have light brown hair with nature blonde high lights (except when I have it slicked back - looks black) blue eyes, weigh 215lbs of blue twisted steal, 5'11", and I have a goatee. I enjoy listening and playing music. I play a few instruments, but not all of them as well as the guitar, which I play lead, for about 10 years. I LOVE spicy foods, HOT and Rare everything please! In addition to food, Oriental, Cajun, and other sea foods are at the top of my list along side a nice rare peice of beef. I love to cook. I like playing board games and PC games. The list would be shorted of things I DONT like, but since I don't like them I prefer not to write about them. Any questions, send me a message!
