Web Design, having fun with friends/family, a wide variety of music, camping, swimming, and jack assin' around on the computer, usually MySpace but I've also gotten into Genealogy. So far I've tracked down my paternal family back to the 1700s. It's amazing what's available on the internet! Photography is my passion! Picked up my first camera in junior high school and that's all it took. It's a very relaxing hobby. To go out and capture nature and people, and surprise yourself while you're doing it. Not only that, but you are capturing the best of times to be remembered and cherished, even the worst of times as a reminder. I could spend hours taking photos of anything and everything. Moving or still, alive or dead, light or dark, shiny or dull. I'm still looking for that perfect shot even though I may never find it....
For the most part, I'm a laidback kind of person. I like being outside when it?s not too hot. Family and friends are a very big part of my life. Without them I'm wouldn't be here. Especially my Mom. Not only is she my mother, she's my best friend. The one person that knows anything and everything about me and vice-versa. I don't see her everyday since we are 1900 miles apart, but we speak just about every day. Even if it's about nothing. I have a big heart for animals. Especially ones that have been neglected/abused. It just baffles me how a person can some horrific things to animals. If I could, and probably will, I'd love to open a large no-kill shelter/rescue facility for all animals. All animals deserve a loving, caring home. I haven't met a animal that doesn't like to me to this day. Even the wildest of cats or dogs, I've been able to tame and socialize. I plan on going back to school to get my license to practice as a Registered Veterinary Technician. That's my goal. It's taken me a while, job after job, to realize what I want to do and truly believe this is it. I love working with animals. Right now I just have my Manx cat, Yzma. Family calls her "Evil". haha. Yzma was a surprise for me. And I say this because she was a stray that my brother found underneath my Grandmother's house. So he caught her and brought her to me to tame and house train for my Grandmother. Well, after I got her, she started to grow on me and my Grandmother decided she didn't want her, so she's been with me ever since. She even survived the drive from Texas to California without any problems. Just sat in the front passenger seat next to me and slept most of the way or watched cars out the window. She's a great pet! I've also raised chickens and ducks from hatchlings. Talk about a chore! Raising twenty-something chicks isn't as easy as it sounds. But, oddly enough, I had one that constantly followed me around and came running to me whenever it was feed time. Even when she got older, I could pick her up, and put her on my arm and she'd just stay there. Most chickens run from people, but not this one. Unfortunately, she was and most of my flock, were lost to neighborhood dogs. Even though she was a chicken, I considered her a pet and it's rough to lose one. Once I get my license, I would love to specialize in Equestrian care. I've never worked with horses before and hear from other they can be quite the challenge, but what a beautiful animal they are. And I'm up for the challenge. Ok so I've rambled on enough. But now you know a little bit about me. Not too much, but enough to perk your curiousity I'm sure. haha Nahhh..I'm nothing special. Just ya average picture-takin, animal-lovin, Joe......
