Welding!
So many of you know how good I am with building, repairing, and restoring things. Well, with a boost of confidence and feeling good about myself thanks in part to my former most recent lover, I decided to improve and back up those talents with some real credentials. I decided to take welding classes. I figured also that should I ever want to move to Portland, Oregon, where my big sister lives, I would also benefit from a trade. This was made even more important by the fact that I heard from a trainhopping lesbian who came through town from there that their unemployment rate is rather high. This blog comes much later than the news of me actually taking the initiative to follow through with this, but I figured it would make sense to archive this event before any other recent cool events, so as to remain in chronological order.
So there you have it, folks, Joel begins to learn skills that may take him somewhere someday. But more importantly, skills that are undeniably essential to him following the path he has been walking all along... that of creativity. And if we learned anything from Napoleon Dynamite, girls only go out with guys who have good skills.
