I never know how to start a conversation with people I do not already know....well, guess I am done here, thanks!

Well, perhaps my mom was right, I am an idiot.

Intro, intro, what to say...I can't eat peaches, the fuzziness freaks me out and they give me headaches, when my dad throws them at my head. When I was a kid I got lost at a fair for a few hours, when my parents found me they didn't beat me, which was nice.

I got "sick" with a bad leg when I was around 12. Broke it twice because it was weak. The third time I broke it, keep in mind my family are farmers, the doctor argued for surgery, but my dad was very firm that I should be put down. Lucky my mom hates doing laundry and said I could do the wash even if I couldn't walk too good so the doctor, his name was Mange, referred us to Dr. Dunaway. Not joking even a little about those names. They saved the leg but I still wet myself when it rains, well unless I can find the newspaper on the floor.

College came next, was fun, I did very well with the ladies. Nothing like a limp, inferiority complex, and not knowing how to start conversations, to make you man about campus. It also greatly helped that I had to live at home, help on the farm some, and drive to college in an old "field car"...ok, so I only did fair, ok, if I am honest I only had three girlfriends...and I have all the restraining orders to prove it.

After college life became a blurr, that is when someone suggested I should get glasses. Wow, what a difference, I could finally see how terrible everything really was. I also thought my "look" just wasn't quite what I wanted so I put on a couple hundred pounds and grew a beard. Limp, glasses, weight, beard...truly man about town.

Life is not all bad, I have an arranged marriage (meaning my wife is my sister's friend) that works great and three years in the beatings are short and barely bruise...I convinced her to not use the bat anymore. Now that previous line is a total and complete lie and I retract having written it (yes, dear, I wrote it was a lie see, ....please put down the bat....)

Around 2002 I was working in security and was almost killed. The result of that event led to a change in me, some might call it spiritual, philosophical, or theological,"crazy"(those words are hurtful).... Needless to say, I wanted to "find" God.

I finished and self published a book about a year ago. It has not found an audience, the introduction is the problem, I bet. That book is a philosophical investigation into the basic understanding of the reality we share and demonstrates why we get to question everything and also deals in explaining how relativism can be a game changer.

My next project is a documentary on kickstarter named "Causing the Singularity." It will be a film crew following a carpenter named Joseph's son, who was born and raised near a town named Davidson, around the USA as he talks to ministers, pastors, evangelicals, and rabbi about God. We hope to make it really funny despite the subject matter, I mean perhaps I can catch the wife with the bat in her hand....(which is NOT true) or perhaps between now and film start I will learn how to make an introduction.

Hi Joseph,

Welcome to the Forum! Thanks for some fun facts about your life. Haha! That's funny about life being a blur after college and needing glasses. Look forward to the documentary and I'm sorry to hear the book has not yet found an audience. Thanks for sharing!
