Hello there! First things first, I'm Joe. I'm a great many things, but here are some of my favorite traits -- I was a former high school teacher, now I'm back to being a student! Hooray! I'm extremely affable, I love passionate discussions, I'm very excited about my future, and I'm all those things I think everyone considers themselves (easy going, fun, intelligent, etc).

Oh, I also feel it necessary to confess that I'm actually just outside Stl. I just put my location as here because it's easier to see profiles. :)

As I said before, I'm finishing school. Other than that, I'm trying to do as many things on my bucket list as possible! I really want to do a marathon, more scuba, and travel. Got any good travel stories, please share!

Making stupid jokes. I love wise cracking and punning. I'm also really good at being generous and thoughtful (what's mine is yours, mi casa es su casa). Also, I'm very tenacious. When I want something, I'm like a freight train!

Hmmm I think the first thing people notice about me is my ethnic ambiguity. I think one of the first questions people ask me is what my heritage is. If I had a nickel for everytime I heard "I don't want to offend you, but what's your race?"...well, I'd probably have most of the nickels in the country....

I'm afraid that this list isn't that long, as I tend to love a little of everything. Some of them that come to mind are;

- books: Almost anything by Stephen King, The Little Prince, Death by Black Hole, and The Road

- movies: EVERYTHING! I'm a bit of a movie junkie ;)

- food: I'm a huge fan of pretty much anything asian, mexican, and any seafood. Also, if it's spicy, I can't get enough of it :3

- Family
- Good friends
- My cat, Kini =^.^=
- Delicious loose leaf tea
- Alone time
- The ocean

Well, I'm usually too inundated with classes to really care about much else...but I do like to daydream about places I'd like to go, where I'll be in the next few years, and fun adventures to take :)
Also, why do baby clothes have pockets? It's...a conundrum to me

Ideally, on a typical friday I'm relaxing with friends and enjoying a beer. Realistically, I'm studying :p

If you at least chuckled at either of these;

"Two antennae were on a roof. They fell in love and got married. The service wasnt great, but the reception was excellent."

"A book fell on my head, but I only have my shelf to blame…"

...then we'll get along swimmingly :)
