I am [[creative]], [[adventurous]], and a traveler.
My Self-Summary
Well I guess this is where I introduce myself. My name is Josh, I'm
currently living just south of Indy. I'm a photographer and as
mentioned above, I love
traveling. I've only been out of the
country once so far but I've been all around the US mostly for fun.
I went to
Japan to
live there for a month when I was 14. I'm hoping to go to
Ireland next. I'm also an
avid gamer. I have a large collection of
board games and always enjoy
learning new ones. Euchre is almost an addiction although I don't
play it nearly as often as I'd like. I enjoy getting
outdoors and have done
several
backpacking trips to various places.
When I was still living in South Bend I went contra
dancing once a month and
had a great time. Sadly I've not been since moving to Indy. I also
like new
experiences and meeting interesting
people.
I'm really not a kid person but I love animals. I have a
cat who is the most people
friend cat I've ever met. She always wants attention. I also have a
bearded
dragon who believes he can eat anything no matter how much
larger it is compared to him. This often includes my cat, small
children, and anyone who happens to pass by. Beyond that I used to
work with horses and I grew up with dogs and a pair of
cockatiels.
I'm really up for meeting anyone on here. I'm fairly new to Indy
and would really like to expand my social circle a bit. I'd also
like to get out and get more active once in a while. Traveling
buddies or fellow outdoors types are always welcome also. I'm an
explorer at heart. I'd also love to talk to anyone interested in
photography.
Always great to get new perspectives on things.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm currently in college getting a degree in photography. My dream
job would be to work for a travel magazine or something along the
lines of National Geographic. Currently I shoot weddings, senior
pictures, various events, pretty much anything anyone needs. School
takes up a good deal of my time but I do my best to relax when I
can.
I’m really good at
Fixing computers/electronics, photography, seeing the humor in
almost everything (this includes randomly laughing at the thoughts
in my head), learning new things, making lists, rope ;), listening
to people.
Things I'm not good at:
I'm terrible at taking naps. I'll try to lay down and get a quick
half hour in but it always turns into a couple hours. Remembering
what date it is. I always know what day it is like Tuesday or
Wednesday but I'm terrible at knowing if today is the 10th or 11th
or 23rd... yes it can be that bad. Skiing but I still love it. I
spend a lot of time on the ground.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I'm definitely a reader. I enjoy mostly fiction books by decent
authors. A few of my favorites are George R.R. Martin, Ursula K.
Leguin, Melanie Rawn, Raymond E. Feist, and many others.
When it comes to movies I'm fairly open. Some of my favorites are
Children of Men, Snatch, Boondock Saints, Firefly series, Last
Castle, Sweeney Todd, Crash, and Office Space.
Music is mostly rock or classic rock but I also enjoy some
celtic.
I've recently discovered I really like to cook. I tend to make a
decent dinner four or five times out of the week. I don't like
anything that can survive underwater though. I've tried most of
them and there is just something about seafood I don't like.
The six things I could never do without
My camera for starters, computer, tea, trees, intellectual
stimulation of some kind, vacation days.
Six things I don't like:
Waking up, trying to guess what people mean or want when they won't
say what's on their mind, coffee, really high pitched noises,
arrogance, reality TV.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Currently the future and how I'm going to get there. Where I'm
going to travel next is also on my mind. I'm planning a trip to the
Grand Canyon for next summer and still trying to work out a way to
get to Ireland in the next couple of years.
On a typical Friday night I am
Traveling if possible, maybe playing some board games with friends
or seeing a movie, or working on a new photography project.
