About Me
Name: Joseph ("Joe", "Mojo", "Flexidisk") Edward Hatfield DOB: December 12, 1980 (Same birthday as Frank Sinatra) Place of Birth: Port Hueneme, California (Dad was a Seabee) Current Residence: Salem, Oregon Hometown: Salem, Oregon Education: A.A. Transfer Degree from Chemeketa Community College, B.A. from University of Oregon, MAT from Western Oregon University Major: History Religion: Generic Christian with a heavy dash of Native American-style animism.+ Interests: Science Fiction, RPGs, History, writing, anime, general other geeky pursuits, baseball, "Weird Al" Yankovic, ska, college rock, geek rock, Boy Scouts of America (Earned Eagle Scout at 18, Vigil at 24. The name's a loooong story.). Claim to Fame: One article published in Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine, issue #90. Explanation of Name: Coyote is my personal totem+, and since the was already taken, to make it distinct, I tacked on  42 for the obvious geek reference.  (+Side note: I'm not some New Ager latching on to pseudo-Native American culture to make myself feel better. I have deep respect for Native American culture, being part Native myself.  It's something I came about on my own, not because I read some book and though "wow! I think I'll believe that now!"  I've also had validation from a very good Paiute friend of mine.  Sorry to get preachy, I figured I'd explain myself up front.)

(Yeah, I know it needs work.) User:UBX/Wild Cherry Pepsi Why bother picking just Pepsi when there are so many varieties?
