JP's Intro --Warning Image Heavy

[jpbeck]

Hey Guys, new here. Just wanted to pop in here and say hello and to tell you a little about myself.

My name is Joe and I'm 34 years old. I'm a school teacher in Cherry Valley, California. I served in the Navy as a AO/ EOD for 6 years, and worked as a contract dive instructor for DOD. When I got out I worked at a dive shop in Riverside, where I met my wife to be.

My wife is also a teacher as well. However, not a big Star Wars fan, I love her anyways though. We have a 13 month old son that God blessed us with and he is the world to us. I tried to name him Luke-- but the closest Jedi like name I could get was Levi.
Here's a Pic of Jedi Levi:

I'm a huge Star Wars Nerd! I always have been. My wife made me dig a basement, to store all my Star Wars stuff (anyone that lives in So Cal knows how big an undertaking that is since basements are non-existent out here). I only collect FX sabers now . I have a bunch though (collecting them is like a drug to me) , and a few of them are converted to Lux 3's.


My loving and talented wife made me a Jedi costume and I just ordered my Jedi boots and belt. All I need now is some pouches and the "circle will be complete".

While I was served in the military I studied Kung Foo San Soo under Kurt Bellman (sp?)-- but I never got into swords-- I only studied the sword forms that were required. I'm sure I forgot most of them.

My favorite saber is my Luke ROTJ, but my Mauls are right up there.

So that's me, I plan on it making out LA to have some saber fun with you guys. Looking forward to it.

Thanks for allowing me into your home.
JP

Hello there!
Thanks for dropping in to say hi. I know I speak for everyone when I say you should drop by for a class someday. I know Cherry Valley is a drive away, but we would love to have you.

Have you tried Ebay for those pouches? I've seen them several times. Some good,some not. Do your research.

My wife is just starting to turn around. Since Episode III, she's more of a fan. I'm trying to have her come to a class. We go at it with the sabers at home. That's still work in progress.

Take care and hope to see you in a future class.

Man my introduction must have really sucked-- 68 views and only 3 replies... Did I come off wrong? Do I smell funky? Is my kid ugly? Do my sabers blow?

lol

[Sith Lord]

Yes to all. The smell is the really kicker. Shower buddy,its called soap and water. Clean water, not from the toliet.

welcome... and no your sabers don't blow, they un-blow... um, that is the technical term for something that doesn't blow by the way

welcome JP! and btw BarJedi, if unblow is the opposite of blow, then doesn't that mean it sucks?

I'm just kidding! ;D That's a really nice collection of sabers you have there JP, can't keep track of all the polycarbonate in that picture!
