Interestingly Insane

He's about six foot three with shoulder-length black hair and bright blue eyes. Slender and lean he doesn't take bullcrap from anyone. He would call himself an antisocial human being and I would believe it to be true. He doesn't play well with others and he is almost always in trouble for one thing or another.

But

If you are considered to be one of his friends, he would drop anything he was doing to help you out. He's not afraid to speak his mind and he's always going to tell you the truth, despite what it may mean to your feelings. One of his favorite hobbies is going to punk shows and starting mosh pits and he's not afraid to bleed a little in a fight. He's a hard working person and always active.

The best story I can give to explain him in full, is the concert we went to last night. Rage Against The Machine was playing a protest show against the Republican National Convention and we were there. We bought the cheap tickets, the ones where you sit behind the stage and cant see a thing but there was no way we were going to stay there long. When the first band started up, we left out seats and made our way around to the complete opposite side of the arena and down to the front row of seats. We started talking to a few people around us who had the same idea we did. We were going to jump.

The drop to the floor was about ten feet, not too bad. But, we needed someone to go first to distract the security guard that was standing on the floor directly below us. Luckily we talked a kid into it and sure enough, the moment he jumped down he was grabbed and hauled out of the show. After that we all jumped. The key to moving levels in a large concert like that, is as soon as your feet hit the ground you run, which is exactly what we did. Joe grabbed me and we took off into the crowd, dodging people and security officers. By the time RATM was on stage, we were front row and center.

Joe is definitely one of the most interesting people I have ever met. He's extremely outgoing and always ready to do a little bit of illegal activities.
