I was given the nickname Joey Buddha a couple of years ago because my friend/tattoo artist couldn’t remember my name, only the tattoo he gave me. The nickname, as the tattoo, has stayed with me ever since. I self-medicated myself for at least 15 years of my life, at the same time, I became a master at repressing my emotions. I got arrested and charged with a DWI in October in 2005, 2 blocks from my aparment, after coming home from a U2 concert at Madison Square Garden. Nobody got hurt, and over the past 2 years and 8 months, I learned my lesson. It enabled me to get my life on track, and be the person I am today. I no longer self-medicate, and deal with my emotions in healthier ways. I love using my Mac, iPhone, browsing the net, learning and trying out new technology, and have recently been labeled a ‘computer geek.’ I am a full believer in the law of attraction, and that we manifest our lives and realities. I am currently working in insurance loss control, and am in the process of manifesting a career that I enjoy and love. I live on the beach, actually, on the street side of my building, in NY. I barely go to the beach, but I do love it here. I have 5 children, with 3 different mothers, in various parts of the United States. Actually, I am completely lying, as I have no children and am currently single, but couldn’t resist putting that in there. I am too lazy to hit the spell check button or reread this, so please excuse any spelling or grammar mistakes.
