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 …
Family Update (2019)
Emily and I have been married for a couple of decades and we’ve been busy raising our four kids almost the entire time. We met in college and immediately started having little ones. I always believed that we were already poor so we might as well have our kids and be REALLY poor. We’ve been …
