Hey, Me, What do I know?

Oh, SNAP, I'm on FIRE!!

About Me

Hey. My name is Joe. I realize that those words are probably used by a lot of people here when they are writing this, and that it doesn't help to set me apart from a hundred thousand other Joes, but it seems to make the most sense and I figured I'd stay with the classic approach for now. Anyway, I am from Fenton, MO, (F-Town!) just outside of St. Louis, and I in the summer live and work in Potosi, MO, (Potosi-WHAT??!). Last summer and probably next summer, I was/will be again a leadership counselor at the same place. As for after that, things are up in the air, but I'm sure they'll work out in the end. Hopefully, I will be teaching full time somewhere. Right now, I am a substitute teacher. No, I don't particularly enjoy constant abuse, but the pay is decent and I think it is a necessary evil of becoming a teacher. I'd really like to travel more because I've just recently realized how much larger the world is than the eastern half of Missouri. I don't know WHY it took me so damn long! Moving on--People tell me I'm a fun person. I love the outdoors--hiking, running, camping, and canoeing are my favorite things to do, and--even though I'm not very good at them yet--I also am trying to pick up climbing and mountain biking. (WOO OUTDOORS!!) Like I said, I currently teach outdoor education and love it. I have a degree in theatre and am certified to teach speech and theatre in Missouri. I swear I'll use my degree professionally one of these days, but for now it's used for not smiling when kids say hilarious things, campfire skits, and playing mean tricks on my friends now and then. Aside from the things above, I like theatre, writing, reading, and--above all--having a good time. (WOO OTHER STUFF!!) Having a good time is really what it all comes down to, isn't it? I like to laugh and make people laugh when I can. Fun times.

Look out! I'm dangerous!

Just in case you weren't sure, I'm a mean shot with a blow-dart gun.  You see, the mice have been a little bit "O.O.C." this year.  (OOC = Out Of Control) and there was one in a Taco Bell ba...
