Joseph's Story
Life
Personal life?? Its been a trip so far. In the words of Jerry Garcia "What a long strange trip it's been". I cant complain. I have fun when I can. Work when I can. I like to jam when I can. My hobbies are music:: guitar, drums and native american flute. I also write poems and songs. Computers is another hobby. I like hot rod chevys too. Life is a gift I try not to waste. I travel to as many places as I can get to. And ,if I'm lucky, I can get paid to go. But I always end up back in Brandon Fl.
School
Biggest Crush. I'd have to say Elizebeth Noland, But she probably never knew it. I was a bit shy in the ladies department. Lets not forget Vickie Music. Totally crushed by her. She didnt know either.
Funniest thing that I remember? I will have to look at the letters sent to my home. I remember almost getting waxed in front of the school when Paco hit the gas on his motorcycle while we were skippin class in our senior year. Wouln't that be a drag LMAO. Getting splattered by a '63 impala right in front of the office. Im sure ol' Hubert (Branley) woulda loved that cause he hated my ass. He couldnt run worth a damn either. Not good enuff to catch Me HAHAHAHAHA> Ok dont get all judgemental now. I know what y'all did back then. Class of 78 was off the hook. No absentee penaltys. EVERYONE WAS CUTTING SOME CLASSES from 10th to 12th. Too many things to list here. Climbing the fence to get into a football game, Eddie Garcia and I got popped by a cop. He coulnt run that fast either. He lost us in the first 2 seconds after grabbing me by the arm. I wont say how I got loose LOL. Ill bet he remembers LOL. Driving around In Steve Quarrels (LONG MAY HE RIDE) car listening to the Beatles on 8 track and smokin o...Expand for more
ut. I supppose some of you think thats BAAAADDDD. BFD TO YA ANY WAY IF YA DO LMAOROTFF. Im still here, and Im living good.
Yeah , I was a hell raiser. But we never did anything bad really. Brandon was kewl then. I miss the way we all knew each other and people had at least some honor and we lived by that unspoken code of respect. It seems that code has dissipated with the destruction of our once beautiful town of Brandon. SO, at least we can keep that memory alive in all of us who are still alive. Yes, weve lost many in the past few years. Take some time out of your busy day to at least e-mail a friend or give em a call damn it. We wont live forever. Some of us say "THose were the days" and they were. But, These are still the days, as each day of the rest of our lives should be. Get out and see your friends and make some more of "THOSE" days. I'm still here and kickin hard. WE WILL HAVE MORE. I hope y'all do too. All you have to do is do it.
Damn, I still have like 1600 characters remianing so I'll try to think up some more things to write. Untill then, Remember where we came from, because we put it on the map.
I finally thoght of somthing to say:: If you visit my sit here< Dont be shy. Leave your name at least. What will it take to convince y'all that we are not going to live forever. See your friends while ya can. Any one of us can go any given second of any day. Then it will be too late damn it. And believe me when I tell you, I passed that chance recently and will regret that Forever. I hurts deeply to know you could have seen or at least called someone you care about and they pass on while you were "BUSY".
