Hello there!
My name is Josh. I am currently living in the teeny-tiny-town of Swainsboro Georgia. I am polite and generally kind but tend toward sarcasm and wit so if you can't take a joke and dish out your own then you are probably on the wrong profile. As a self-taught lampwork artist with high hopes of being recognized as a name in the industry I'm likely to spend an inordinate amount of time in the studio (garage) where I work. An average day at the torch is rarely average and I occupy myself with manufacturing anything from guitar picks to fine jewelry, vases to oil lamps, etc. Yes, it's the coolest thing I've ever been able to do and call myself working. Yes, I have an extra pair of safety glasses and you can totally watch!

Running, jumping, singing, dancing, drinking, smoking, flying, frying, driving, diving, and burning with the beauty of life!

Also, when I'm not busy doing that stuff I'm probably making art :)

starting a fire whether we need one or not, making people laugh, providing an interesting perspective, and procrastinating my ass off!

I swear to all things powerful, if one more person calls me a pretty girl I will seriously come unglued and start a homicidal rampage. Yes, I have long hair and a slender build and I'm kinda artsy and weird, but does that means that I'm toting a vaj under these jeans? NO! Does that mean I'm a homosexual? NO! If you feel like calling me a pretty lady, save it. I know already, I've heard....

I feel like a lot of people skip this section when they browse a profile, so I wont waste your time with a tremendous list.
Book - Battle Royale (how can you go wrong with school children forced to fight to the death?) Also, I enjoy manuals and handbooks on really any subject. It might not classify as fine literature but I love learning new things
Movie - Pan's labyrinth, Perfume, Mirror Mask, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, Augst Rush, 300 (need at least one really manly movie or folks will start to wonder)
Television - is mostly garbage, but you cant really go wrong with the discovery channel or cartoons
Food - FUCK YEAH! Indian, Thai, and Latin dishes. Spicy makes my world go 'round. I need someone to teach me how to make an amazing pad thai!

1. glass
2. family
3. friends
4. music, whatever the form
5. imported beer and domestic scenery
6. A sense of amazement with this world we live in

The impending Zombie invasion, Advertising on the moon, and wondering where all the non-biodegradable packing peanuts wind up once they're thrown out... I'd like to believe there's an enormous white, fluffy mountain in Arkansas or some other place that no one cares about.

Hanging out with some close friends, meeting new ones, or possibly down in the laboratory working on the latest slice of fried awesome!

For some reason I like the way old books smell and the way that envelopes taste when you seal them... Try not to judge too harshly.

You aren't afraid to be yourself no matter who is watching.
You can speak your mind and it actually has something to say.
You know where you're going... or at least how to get there.
You have been hurt before but aren't willing to give up on love
You are tired of the status quo
You have always felt like you were meant for something big
You just want to grab a drink and watch the world go round for a while

**Alternatively, if none of these apply to you but you happen to have an obscene amount of cash and feel like donating to a very talented but very broke independent artist so that he can continue to chase his dreams and develop his skills... that would be nice too...
