Joe got home from building houses for poor people in Tennessee a day ago, and he seemed to really enjoy it. Most people would not be joyful during this trip, but Joe was. He kept in touch with his friends, making sure they got their daily dose of Joseph. He game back with a golden brown tilt that all the ladies found sexay. Speaking of ladies he was on good speaking terms with a special one down in Tennessee, but since then his interest has diminished. Joe met some young ladies on the trip, and kindly mowed one girls lawn for her. I saw Joe for a short time on this day. It was his baseball game in which he bunted for a base hit. The team lost 16-1 in 3 innings, but Joe played his heart out. He mad some nice plays in the field too. He continues to be the only bright spot on the team, and still has kept his composure through the bad times. That is all I have for today, sorry.

Joe revealed why he has been absent from group activities. He has missed lifting because of shopping for his trip to Appalachia Tennessee. On this trip, he will be building houses for poor people for a whole week. I don't know how much more this kid can give. He is relentless with helping others, I guess that is what makes him so spectacular. The reason he has been unable to participate in nightly group activities is because of the parents (at least in his words). He said that he has to take a few nights off because he had been out every night this Summer. He could have complained and gotten in more trouble, but Joe chose the high road and accepted his orders. After taking 2 days and 2 nights off, Joe came back strong on Friday night. Joe was invited to a party at a friends house. He could not come originally because nobody else was home, and he had to hold down the fort. If there is anyone you want to keep your house safe, it's Joe. The guy is lethal with a baseball bat, and can repel any criminal. He politely told the host that he would be late. Joe showed up around 9 o'clock after his parents got home. He got there wearing his black jacket that he is wearing in the picture on the right. Joe was in style. He was being very social and seemed like he was having a good time. He drank a Canada Dry ginger ale, and of course grabbed one for me as well. Joe and I grabbed the music and began to dance. we eventually made it to the woods, I do not know how. We came back up, and continued to socialize while dancing. Joe is a fantastic dancer. When the night was about to be over, the police showed up. Apparently there was a noise complaint from the music. When the police arrived, Joe did not have his shirt on (this is a given). Completely profiling by clothing the cops chose Joe to question. They told him to not even think about running away. Joe, of course, had absolutely nothing to run from, but easily could have escaped even then. The policemen decided that they were going to take his name, for no reason. Though he knew that all of this stuff was very unfair, and stupid, he did not complain. He stayed poised, and went on with his night, later being picked up by his sister. What unbelievable composure from Joe tonight.

JOE'S QUOTE OF THE DAY
When Joe was asked for his name while taking a walk with the cops, Joe had a witty and quick response by saying, "Joe Anderson."

I did not see Joe on Wednesday, so this will be short and boring. Since I did not see Joe in person, I drew him in a portrait, and looked at all of his facebook pictures twice. He looked good. I was supposed to see Joe at lifting, but he decided to not wake up until 2 again, so we were forced to go without him. Joe is getting weaker by the day, but is still the strongest kid in the school. I was disappointed when Joe did not show up for lifting, but we will let this one go. I did not see Joe at night either, he was unavailable. A rough day without Mr. Anderson today.

JOE'S QUOTE O' THE DAY
"Sorry, I overslept." Joe still displays his manners when he messes up, and blames no one but himself. What maturity.

June 16th 2009

Joe wore his Athletes Taking Action shirt today. It looked good on him of course, but that is his purpose (it just happens). The Athletes taking action shirt represents much more. It tells us how much he enjoys helping people. In Athletes taking action, Joe will help out a freshman who plays the same sport as Joe (baseball). Joe, always a good guy. I was going to lift weights at 1 with Joe at the high school today. It turns out, he had other plans. Since Joe was up until 4 last night, he slept to 1. This pushed our lifting appointment back to 2. Joe apologized profusely, and of course the apologies were accepted. How can you not forgive him, look at the kid. He had a good lifting session and got very big. He out benched me by 30 pounds, this kid is a monster. After that, I believe he went running. Joe is like the Energizer bunny (similes, you love them). Later on that night, Joe came over to my house. He pulled up, and assumed he was not invited (thinking he had made some kind of mistake). This was because I was playing volleyball with my family. Joe is always looking to point the finger at himself. He played some fantastic volleyball, until the incident. Let me set this up for you. Joe is on my team, and we are mid game. It is 13 to 17, and the other team is leading. The opposing team is serving. The ball is served, and everything is in slow motion. It is hit to Joe, and he responds by crushing it into the air. His heart speeds up. Joe is ashamed of his actions, because the ball was not going to make it over the net. I come running over. Joe and I collide. The collision was filled with blood, tears, and battle wounds. We quickly made up, and continued to play. Joe never gives up on his teammates, which is why he will be the JV soccer captain this year. We lose all of our games in volleyball, so what does Joe do? He shakes eveyone's hand and stays positive with his squad saying, "We'll get em' next time!" We then travel indoors because of inclement weather. Joseph seemed to have a decent rest of the night, taking all of his anger out on Connor. We then went into the hot tub. This is the part where Joe has his shirt off (once a post). The warm liquid surrounding his body was refreshing. He then got picked up by his sister.

JOE'S QUOTE O' THE DAY
When leaving my house, Joe displays his manners, "Thank you for having me, see you later!" This man is too good to be true.

June 15th 2009

Joe took a trip to Kennywood on Monday. He came prepared with his ticket and $40 cash. He sat in the front seat on the way up, completely ignoring the unwritten rule of seniority. For that he had no regrets. Joe was in a strange mood from the moment we arrived. He was a bit angry because we already had started to see people that he did not want to see. As we walked in, Joe had no problems making it through the metal detector. He did not have any metal on him, but if he did he still would have made it through. As we walked through Kennywood, we found out that everyone and anyone new Joe Anderson. This is of course, because of this blog. He was getting hugs left and right, and everyone was thrilled to see him. Joe is the coolest kid in school. Since Joe and I decided that we were not going to go on the Log Jammer first with our friends, we chose to got to the Haunted Mansion place by the Thunderbolt. The reason he did not want to go on the Log Jammer was because he did not want to get wet, since he was not wearing a bra. So we arrive at the Haunted Mansion, and wait for a little bit. We find out that our objective is to kill all of the bad spirits in this old Haunted house. They gave us a weapon to perform that task and the ride was under way. Joe started off slow, missing almost every target. As always, Joe pulled through in the end, and was hitting spirits left and right, quite a romantic ride. He ended up with the most spirits killed, and is now a legend on the ride. The rest of the day was mostly a blur. Joe successfully rode on the Thunderbolt, the Phantoms Revenge, and the Pitfall, with no incidents. My friends and I (Joe aside) realized that Joe kept fleeing us after every ride. We would get off of the ride, and he would walk briskly in another direction. We never did solve this mystery, and are still worried. Joe, if your out there, I am concerned. We would have to find him everytime, and we did. Joseph had some chicken fingers, and french fries for lunch. He ate quite fast. I am also worried about his metabolism. As he learned in Health Class, when you eat faster, it slows down your metabolism. We continued to ride, and it went well. We met up with our new friends that we met while on our scooter/bike ride. He hit it off with the ladies, and found out that they were talking about how hot he is (score!). He seemed to be unphased, and continued his conversation. We then left Kennywood. We made our daily trip to Wendy's (what an endorsement). Joe ordered 10 chicken nuggets, some fries, and an Oreo Twisted Frosty. For the rest of the way home Joe was virtually unclothed, and dancing to the Techno beats. Joe was then dropped off. I later found out (today) that he was up until 4 in the morning watching movies. This is not setting a good example for little kids to follow, but we still love him.

JOE'S QUOTE O' THE DAY
Joe was often accused of being bisexual or homosexual at Kennywood. Joe handled it with class saying, "I am not into guys, not that there is anything wrong with that." Sorry gay community, Joe plays for the other team, but still supports. For now he is off limits.

June 13th 2009

Joe got invited to multiple graduation party's on Saturday. They say there is no party without Joe Anderson. It just so happens that he could not make it to one of them, showing his lack of loyalty. As he arrived at the party he politely talked to the graduate; Joe was being very generous with his time. Sharing is the foundation of his great personality. He lit up the room in his gray Villanova t-shirt, black shorts, and worn out tennis shoes. Of course he supports his sister who attends Villanova University, we would expect nothing less of Joe. He began the night socializing, and then his physical activity piked up as the night moved on. He started shooting some hoops, making most of his shots. Joe displayed his hops by almost dunking on about a 9 foot hoop. It got me going. Joe and his friends decided to take a stroll on his streets. His transportation of choice was by bike. We did not get far before we saw a group of people in the darkness. We rode by thinking nothing of it, until we realized that Troy was gone. We decided to ride back and he was talking to that group. It was a group of about 7 incoming freshman. Being a sophomore, Joe wanted to lend a helping hand to them, and give them some advice. We socialized for quite a while, and then went in the back yard to the girls pool. We decided not to go in, but did get a bit wet when others jumped in (collateral damage). We just layed out and caught some sun (at 11:00). We parted ways with the freshmen, and the night was just beginning. Joe lead his friends back to the party. Joe asked an unnamed man for a ride home, and he accepted. Joseph decided that he was going to run away and make us find him. We made a few wrong turns, and ended up near St. Louis church. We headed back and Joe lead us to him by giving turn by turn directions, as if he were a GPS. When he found us Joe decided he was going to lay on the front of the car. Being an idiot, an unnamed man started driving. Joe saw a car coming and quickly rushed into the car. As the car drove by, we noticed that this was a cop car. This is another instance of Joe Anderson making clutch decisions in crunch time. Instead of leading an unnamed man back to his house, Joe lead him to Wendy's where we ended up eating. We went back to drop off Joe, he lead us the wrong way on purpose. Some time during the ride, Joe took off his shirt. the unnamed man took it, and faked throwing it out of the sunroof and continued to drive. After driving around, looking for the shirt that Joe thought was on the road, we headed back. This time, we actually did throw his shirt out of the car. Joe got out, and walked back to get it. unnamed man drove away, and Joe jumped on the back of the car while moving, and then fell off on to the road. This was a very comical night. Finally we got Joe home, and it was over. We got to see every aspect of Joe today, this was a treat for the followers, and Andy (I know your reading).

JOE'S QUOTE O' THE DAY
"Did you really just throw my shirt?"

June 12 2009

Joe was thrilled about school being over today. He found out his schedule for next year and was instantly disappointed. I only have one class with Joe, and that is gym. I am really gonna miss that boy. He said his goodbye's to friends and teachers. The most touching and emotional was with Chadwick. They had their ups and their downs, but in the end, it didn't matter that Joe's behavior deteriorated along with his grade. They knew that it was the last time they would be together. Joe wished the moment could have lasted a life time. Later that night Joe went his friends house after his baseball game. It was a 2-1 loss, the closest to victory he has been all year. He was supposed to pitch, but did not get the call. He had a little trouble getting to his friends house, and got a bit lost. As always, Joe proved the doubters wrong and got there in good time. He drank a Sierra Mist and watched a little bit of the Penguin game until he got bored. He went down to Wiltshire park and had a good time with the remaining friends who weren't watching the game. Joe went buckwild after finding out the Pens won. He did not really care about the Pens (Joe is from Detroit), but he just wanted to go buckwild. The night wound down, as Joe and his friends sat by the fire and talked. I had a moment alone with him inside where we talked about the complexity of the human anatomy. The night was then over. Oh and a few side notes, I was with Joe at his sisters graduation on Thursday. He was very happy for his sister , but was disrespectful by taking his shoes off during the graduation.

JOE'S QUOTE O' THE DAY
When asked why he did not watch the Penguin game, Joe responded from the heart saying, "I just can't sit down and watch tv on a Friday night." Joe encourages the little boys and girls of the world to get out and play 60 minutes a day.

June 11th 2009

Joe looked sexy today. He got to talk to his secrete love for a short time, and was pretty pumped about it. We got along pretty well today; he was in a good mood. The cause may have been that school is almost over. He got hungry pretty early in the day, and got lunch 7-8 when he was supposed to be in Health. Skipping Health has begun to be a little bit of a trend this year as the year progressed. I will have to get him in line, and let him know that school is not over this is not a free-for-all. Joe got in trouble yesterday, and had an epiphany. He realized that he has a B in Civics because he has been screwing around. In Geography, he was a good little Joe (payed attention, no nonsense), and then he took a turn for the worst. He started fooling around with his loser friends and lost all focus. From what I hear, Joe is coming back to his group of friends this weekend. This has not been confirmed, updates will be posted. He lifted today, and then went to Wendy's. He got 2 orders of 5 piece nuggets, and a medium fry. I had the same. Overall a pretty good day, he has to go to his sister's graduation now. Farewell.

June 9 2009

There has been an addition to the joe anderson writing team. I am the annoymous tipster and will be contributing to the cause. Damn followers, Joe looked sexy today in his USC travel baseball shirt. If you didnt see him today you missed out. Joe feels stress today as he took another Chadwick quiz, the second this week! He feels he did well but as always Mrs. Chadwick has other plans for him. He needs to focus on doing better than the mediocre 8.5 he got from yesterday's quiz...some words of encouragment might be needed. Nothing too serious, just a pat on the pack or a slap to the head ( careful not to damage his face, it is wonderful). If Joe was a historical figure he would be most definetly Benedict Arnold. He is trying to join a new cluster of friends and ditch his loving "old" ones. This is no doubt a ploy by Coach K to seperate Joe from us...peer pressure is on Joe! He needs to rise above and stay true to himself. We need more followers people so invite everyone you can! Adios!

June 3rd 2009

Joe was looking good today in his Pitt baseball t-shirt. He felt pretty good about his morning Math final, after he had a doughnut in homeroom. It was a little energizer for him to get him through the day. He did get into a little bit of an argument with Matt Paxton at lunch today. He told him a bit of a lie to Matt in order to win the argument. I was a little disappointed because you know it starts with a little lie, and then it escalates to robbing banks. I'll talk to him about it. His Civics final was not quite as good, but he only needed a 30%. No lifting today, but Joe does have baseball practice which he needs a ride to. We will see how this pans out.

June 2nd 2009

Joe seemed to be having a good day today. I did not get a chance to talk to him in Civics class because we had finals. He seemed pretty confident about his Biology final. He does have a pretty good grade in that class. I did talk to him in the morning, his baseball team lost last night 10-2. He played center field. I think he went 0 for 2 with a sacrifice bunt. Joe is always giving himself up for the team. I have to go lift with him now, until tomorrow followers.

June 1st 2009

Joe had a good day today. He got a 47 out of 50 on his Geometry test. In Civics class today, he was a bit rowdy, but stayed out of trouble. Joe seems to be living on the edge. He is quite excited for Summer, and says that he is going to abandon his friends. He may join another cluster of friends, but no word yet. We will have updates coming. Joe has a baseball game tonight. Yesterday, he went 0-0 with 2 walks in the 16-0 loss. He was a bright spot on a struggling team. He will be at lifting before though, getting big and strong. Talk to you tomorrow Joe followers.
