Greetings, all.
Sorry my initial greeting isn't mind-blowingly FABULOUS...but I hope that the things that I have to say are.
First off, with all intentions of being at least mildly interesting, I should get the boring introductory crap out of the way first...
My name is Joseph Shipman. My mother managed to push me out on Thursday April 16th, 1992 at 12:27 PM in a small to medium sized town called Mountain Home just beneath the heart of the Ozarks in North-Central Arkansas.
One key thing at this point that should be noted (because it's a subject I'm probably going to mention a lot in this blog) is that even though I developed quite quickly as a child, between my first and second year on this planet, I went from speaking with the 60 or so words I knew, to not speaking at all....soon afterwards I was found to be on the autistic spectrum.
To make a long story short, I had to be taught, in a classroom-esque fashion, how to socially interact with the fellow members of my species...something that so called "normal" people learn automatically.
After many years of extensive therapy, hard work and support on behalf of my parents, relatives, and therapists who I came to know as my friends I have gainfully been able to communicate for a while now. I am presently a 21-year old aspiring musician, future college student, and human being who loves the world, it's creatures, and its people (well...most of its people anyway...), and I love learning, talking to all kinds of people about all kinds of things, and I hope this here blog is a useful tool in my role in helping the world become a better place.
I invite you to have fun with me, aaaaaand I'll see y'all down the road! :)
