Joe has helped me soooo much in tha
past few months for no reason at all,
but to be a great frend! He has given
me hundreds (no wait...I think we're
in tha thousands now!) of great pics,
he's introduced me to his awesome
frends (sum of tha coolest ppl. I've
met), was my tour guide & taxi cab for
a week wen I went to Frisco, printed
my pics in tha middle of tha nite (I
told u not to do stay up 4 that!!),
gives me tons of useful advice, and
has not only been a great
photographer, but a frend. He's always
willing to help someone in need
whether he knowz u or not. He's caring
& very generous. You're missin' out if
u don't kno this guy. And look at his
car. He won't stop takin' away thoz
trophies. He should share tha wealth.
Not everybody wins cuz this guy be
takin' home multiple trophies frum one
show! (j/k u deserve it)... Anyway,
I'm sooo happy to hav a frend lyke Joe

Hi Joe! Joe is the BIGGEST sweet
heart in the world. We met early on
in my Hokori days when he was the team
photographerand nowIm happy to say
were team mates! Joe is
the greatest, I dont think Ive
ever seen him mad or upset. Although,
Ive seen him very tired from the
endless picture taking that he does.
But I honestly think that there is not
one bad bone in his body! Mr. JAC 1
along with the 1 Bug for a 1 guy!!!
Keep Your Head Up!

I remember how my brother tried to
protect me from that dog across the
street when I was little... the dog ran
into the yard and chased me around in
circles and I ran into the house
crying! Ever since then he always tried
to keep me away from something... like
AOL, IRC and everything else that he
was once addicted to (even
Friendster)!! Oh well.. didn't work =)
EVERYONE knows my brother... E V E R Y
O N E ! He makes NINOBLA a household
name everywhere he goes! Thanks for
giving me a great reputation!

be famous for the cha-cha, and slo,

to make the legendary irc road trip.

as intrepid! haha what is oldschool

I first met Joe when I conned him into
being my photographer...and that's how
I became a calendar model. *insert
sarcastic remark/look here* Although
I've only hung out with him a few
times, Joe is really super-duper. He's
always out to have a good time
(especially with DJ Pineapple!!!), and
he's a caring, warm, and
genuine....that's Joe NinoBLAAAAH for
ya!

Kuya Fozzy aka Dohdep aka Joe is one
kewl cat! The girls and I will
forevermore remember him as our mentor
back in the days during our "youth
group" at St. Basil's. He was always
there to listen, drive us around, and
just be a great friend/mentor! I'm glad
to still be in touch with Dohdep after
all these years.

Dep...what can I say about the man who
welcomed me into the online world of
IRC/online friendships. I had many a
great adventure with Joseph, as we
drove together up and down the west
coast. Although we hardly see
eachother now, he always manages to
keep me connected in the same way we
met...online. I will always cherish the
good times we had together and I am
honored to have him as my friend. I
only hope someday my children are as
lucky...you da man Joe!

sweetest and thoughtful people I know.
Many a late night I spent on IRC
chatting it up with Joe, and he always
had a smile and a virtual hug for me.
Even now, we still keep in touch a bit,
but I still miss those fun days way
back when. What a guy. He rocks!

Here's a jack of all trades: VW Beetle
Bad Boy, Master of the Slow Jam Mix,
Guitar Guru, Web Author Fiend. But,
you have to be sure to ask him about
his excellent barbeque marinade. He'll
have to bring it over to your local
BBQ. :D Joe's an all-around cool guy!
David ,
05/15/2003:
Watch out for this guy! He'll make funny
faces at you without you even knowing

I can sum up Joe in 2 words: Renaissance
Man. I've never met a more talented person
than him. I've met Joe a long time ago. I'm

man fozz, you're the best. you were my
guiterest for my JAC retreat, the
reason why a lot of people knew what i
looked like before i started irc'n, and
a whole bunch of other stuff. you're
so the bomb, and i appreciate you, more
than you know. *daps* *hugz*
Nelly ,
05/13/2003:
Fozz...oops I mean Joe, is one multi-
talented dood! He's the one that can
balance his Star Wars figures (still
mint in the box) on some ZIP disks,
while editing a video he shot while
zooooming in his suped-up "Bumble
Bee"! But forreals, me and this dood
go waaaay back during them JAC days!
He used to jam on his guitar at our
retreats and shindigs! Like I said
multi-talented, but also a good
friend! He's one of the nicest doods
you'll ever meet! Just don't bend over
or he might take a picture of your
ass! Oh yes and he can, since he
carries his camera with him 24/7 for
those "priceless" moments! =P
