just though we all should share a few good memories that came about due to joedios. without going into a lot of details, because i know i have a lot here are a few.

joedios was a great influence on my happiness for the last few years. i found a place with people who still loved joe as much as i did even if we loved different ones and different aspects like cartoon and comics. it has been years of bliss for me and i think its mainly due to joedios. i had a g/f, a few jobs that although didnt pay well kept me up with my joe wants and needs. i remember working the whole week and looking forward to me days off so i could do dios. even at work i would write my stories for my days off. i remember my first, a country boy can survive". it was great to work on my dreams and see them come to life. i still have a picture of me and my ex during my first ever shoot. she was in misery because of the hot weather but i was a kid again and as happy as i could be.
my every waking moment was filled with thoughts of joes. making a list of what was coming out to buy would get me excited like a 12 y/o at christmas. watching the old cartoons over and over and over again. when i wasnt working and working on my dios i would spend the entire day reading the comics because i had never read them before. i remember sitting at the desk reading as the sun came through the window. i would read and see the time was getting close for my g/f to be getting off from school, i would pray that she would go help her grandmother so she wouldnt call so i could read more,lol. what kind of guy does that... a happy one.
i have fund memories of my christmas dios as well. i remember shooting the first with beach head. i was doing it inside because it was winter and i could use props, in the background i could hear tim mcgraths darkplace playing on adult swim. to this day when i do something for christmas and dios i go to youtube and play it. i dont like the show, but it was part of a happy memory.
i remember every dio i did as a fund memory and always will. ive since slacked greatly, but hopefully i can get back into the swing of things and make many more great memories. hopefully people like matt and others from his generation will stick around and pick up to give us something to pass on. thinking of these recently is what has gotten me to ask this, what are your memories either with pictures or dio stories. i wish we could ask outrider what his was, im sure he would have plenty. but though we may never know what his were, we know that he was apart of our fun memories. for i know each and every time i started a dio i would think how great they would be if i had his talent.
