I'm Married!

About Me


I have a full car stereo for sale, haven't put any pics up yet though. I'll take $400 for the whole thing (over $2000 invested).
Feel free to message, comment, or call me at 732 232 5582.
I'm looking to sell everything ASAP.
Name's Joe, age is 23, weapon of choice is bass (a Schecter Diamond Series Elite-4 to be exact). I'm a very strong believer of JESUS CHRIST and JESUS is also my nickname (even though I just cut 22" off my hair)
My weakness is my new amazing WIFE! Maria, sushi, and mexican food. I love my Maria. She is beautiful. We are in the most awesome relationship a man could ever ask for. I married her on August 16.
Never once have I or will I put a cigarette in my mouth they are gross and kissing someone who smokes is even worse (good thing Maria doesn't so I have nothing to worry about).
I have 5 tattoos, one on my wrist of a heart that says "MOM", one on my elbow of a hurricane and one of a bass clef with lightning going through it on my shoulder and the Captive Free logo (the band/ministry group I went on tour with), my newest one on my neck (matching my wife's) which says "I Corinthians 13" which is the chapter of the bible containing God's recipe for love, and 5 piercings (2 lobe, cartilage, lip, nipple) with intentions of many more of both.
I love my family more than anything on the planet even though I don't see them often. They are the world to me and I thank them all for being a part of who I am.
I believe that Jesus came and lived as the ultimate ruler. He was humble, caring, kind, full of love. He healed people. He taught people how to live and how to love each other. Instead of praising him and thanking him, we hung him on a cross. We beat and tortured him and told him he was wrong. I believe that Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for every human being alive, once alive and to be alive. God's grace is something we cannot decide to receive. It's ours, and it has been since the day Christ died on the cross and the temple curtain was torn and the skies ripped open. Then he resurrected after going to hell and defeating Satan in the ultimate battle. We are all forgiven for everything we could do wrong. Christ won. CHRIST WON FOR YOU!
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -Theodore Roosevelt
I don't believe in war nor do I understand why people fight over differences, any differences. If all the energy, time, money, resources and lives that were used in all the wars over time would have been used for good, to help each other out, we as a people would be way better off.
I will be pursuing a career in Youth Ministry. I love working with kids and sharing all that I can about Jesus in any way that I can.

But what about Satan? How did Satan go from being one of God's most elite angels, the one just below him to wanting all his power and eventually being cast out of heaven? Does that mean that heave...

Why didn't Assimulation play at Holy Cross? Immaturity!

So when I get super excited to play a show with my band Assimulation, it takes really only that show to relieve the tension and excitement of wanting to play. However, not playing only adds to it. Get...

No doubt, this world is not perfect. On my recently decided and dedicated lifelong quest to fix the problems of this world that seem so simple in a big picture ideal but yet so difficult on the small ...

Show bullshit

I never have and never will understand why people start fights. Why does everything have to be a power battle. Who's the bigger tough guy? The more I go to shows the more I'm disgusted with the shit t...
