Hi my name is Joe but my friends call me Smiley. It doesn't take much to amuse me and I'm not a really deep and heavy type of person. Although I do have philosophies, I choose to be as open minded and as flexible as possible. As the old saying goes you can attract more flies with honey than vinegar. I think some things are so simplistic that a vast majority of life was taught at an elementary level. And for whatever reason some people have strayed away from the basic teachings that were taught to all of us at one time or another. I've used the tools of such basic teachings to make things in my life as stress free as possible. Who would've ever figured that I would smile so much that my nickname would be Smiley ? But, that's the way it goes. Life is good and good things happen to good people.
At one time in my life I had been afflicted with a drug and alchohol addiction. I was as bad as any other junkie. But, I've been fortunate enough to turn that negative into a positive. Now I help people with similar problems cope and deal with life without the dependance of mind altering substances. Sometimes, I'm kind of strict on how I regard people who use because of how difficult it is to break the cycle. I've seen alot of my friends die from overdoses. And I've had to speak at many funerals. Hence the name eulogist.
On the lighter side, I run my uncle's prospecting supply store. And we sell anything from gold pans to industrial mining equipment. Most of the time I'm here at the store working while participating on LV. I've acquired gold fever myself and I do some recreational mining for gold. Also, I love to play poker and I'm always looking for good competition, so if your game and are ready to lose your money, just hit me up.
Well, that's about it. I hope this was as good for you as it was for me. And thanks for being my friend on LV.
