I've been on Steemit for 18 days now and I must say that I'm enjoying it for what it is and am excited about the future potential for this online community. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that has started following me, reading my posts, upvoting them and resteeming them. And....I'm pretty sure that I messed up my first introduce myself post....so here goes....
I hope you enjoy this little overview of who I am & the pics that follow.
So yes....my name is Joe. Or Joseph. And I really like the movie 'Joe Versus The Volcano' (1990)
Ever since I was a kid, I'd wanted to be a famous movie director like Stanley Kubrick (my favorite director). But over the years of working in film/tv I'd realized that....I'm much better at producing and editing than directing. And....having an EGO the size of the MOON and feeling the need to work towards becoming an uber famous director was no longer appealing to me. Therefore, I work in film/tv when I can, along with doing various side jobs and maintaining my priorities of a good life with plenty of time for friends & family.
That's my good friend Rob. I went to college with him and we frequently go backpacking or hiking together when financially and logistically possible. You may have seen a post or two with us in it. https://steemit.com/travel/@josephmcconnell/interlaken-switzerland-1-tips-and-pictures
That's my girlfriend . She's super awesome and I'm very fortunate to have met such a cool person to spend my time with.
And that's my grandfather. Simple dude. Cool guy. WW2 Veteran. And he was driving until a few days before his 100th birthday. Gotta give him credit for that. He's 101 now.
People have called me weird and a loner my whole life. But ya know what....I actually think I'm a pretty normal guy. And I'm happy to be weird and a loner too.
I like to travel and find cool stuff like this odd bendy tree here....
And I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE good food. Like this....
And this......
Here's a picture outside of a mens bathroom that made me laugh uncontrollably for several minutes. And I still laugh everytime I see it. No, I was not high.
And here's a goofy picture of myself and John Heder (Napoleon Dynamite [2004]). He's by far the nicest, most honest & genuine celebrity I've met throughout my career.
Currently for work, I produce/edit commercials, industrials & web spots as well as working in the food service industry & my families philatelic sales business EJ McConnell Inc. http://ejmcconnell.com/
I'm hoping to one day remove myself from the grid and do a hybrid homesteader/productive member of society thing that lots of people are doing. And I'd love to have chickens with cool hairdos like this fella here....
Eventually....I'd really like to become a film teacher in high school or in college. My folks were teachers and I'd never wanted to do that....now I do. Ha! Go figure right.
And now....here's a cool picture from Iceland.
Well, that's me in a nutshell. Thanks for reading my introduce yourself take 2 post. Let's see how this works....
Upvote, Follow & Resteem. All that good stuff. Thanks.
