     Hi my name is Joe. I used to say I'm just your average Joe, but those who know me would tell you a much, much different story.

I was born near the water and lots of it, which is very fitting since I am a water zodiac sign.  There were four beaches just in the area I grew up.  Two of them were on the river and two on the bay, which I was raised by one of.  We lived in a townhouse complex where I was one of about 15 kids of the same color. There was about a mile of trees that became my favorite place to use my imagination. 

A lesson I learn from about 3 years old to 7 is that kids always pick on the different one. Most of them were to afraid to come into the woods, and I knew them like they were my own reflection.

  At the age of seven we moved away from that place and I can say now I couldn't have been happier. The street we moved to was walking distance from my home.  To me that meant less of a distant for bullies to pick on me, but that didn't stop them.  It was me, my mom and my sister, who was just a year older then I was.  This house, tho small was were a lot of good things started to happen in my life.

   As I grew older I realized that girls were always nicer the most guys were, which wasn't a problem for me since I was raised around mostly women. My dad left at a very young age and it wasn't until I became a teenager that I made my first real friends and I learned what it meant to be a real man.  To say the least the real adventures in my life started at this very time.
