Glad you asked: VALET! I did this while in college and I got to drive some very cool cars during my time there. If you’ve ever seen the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off when the valet takes the Dad’s ’61 Ferrari 250 GT for a joy ride and he said to Ferris, “Relax. You guys …

Vehicles Update (2019)
I’m a redneck. I’m a poor boy from Springfield TN. If it has a piston in it, I am hopelessly addicted to it. Cars, motorcycles, boats, tractors, mowers…you name it…I find them fascinating. I’m also cheap, so I almost always try to buy the cheapest version of these things I can find (which sometimes works …
Books Update (2019)
I’m not the most well-read guy rolling around the planet. I admit it. I read a ton; I just don’t spend a ton of time reading books. I also rarely read fiction. When I read, I read to learn and generally am reading articles about whatever it is I’m trying to learn about (or to …
Chasing Down The Best Music!
I’m a collector. I like to research, seek out, collect, rank, classify, and organize stuff. One of the things I’ve always enjoyed collecting is music. When I was a kid and didn’t have any money, I would listen to the Top 40 Countdown on the radio (hosted by Casey Kasem). I’d have a cassette recorder …
Games Update (2019)
I was (am) a NERD! In high school Susie was busy getting voted to homecoming courts, going to parties, and joining social fraternities. I had no time for all that?!? I was busy in the jazz band, show choir, select chorus, Robertson County Players, marching band (trombone), student council (Class Treasurer), and paper staff. Sure, …
Comics Update (2019)
As a child, I actually enjoyed getting braces (and endured the pain that came along with them) because it meant we got to go to town, and I could go to the comic book store?!? Ah…comic books! Was there ever a more perfect medium of expression. I’d spend as much of my hard-earned money as …
Biking Update (2019)
When I was a kid my absolute favorite thing to do was ride my bike. I started off with a Huffy with a banana seat. Next up was a BMX dirt bike. We set up ramps of extremely perilous nature in the neighborhood and tested the limits of the earth’s gravitational pull. Ramps at the …
Career Epic Fails (So Far…)!
I recently wrote an blog post about my career progression. I’ve done ok! [This concludes our previous broadcast] So that covers my LinkedIn page (https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeydean/). Those are the jobs and careers that I talk about (people only talk about their successes…right?!?). But remember when I said I was side-gigging since those high school car washing …
Career Update (2019)
Until recently, I’ve been the primary breadwinner in our family while Emily has been at home taking care of the four kids. By the way…I’ll take what I was getting to do any day of the week over what she got to do! Teamwork makes the dream work. I’ve always taken my job/career very seriously. …
Fitness Update (2019)
It is no secret looking at my Dad bod that fitness has never really been a strong point for me. I am 1) short, 2) weak, 3) unathletic, 4) uncoordinated, and 5) generally a mess in the genetically gifted department. On top of having all this going for me (?!?) add in the fact that …
