Some things you may want to know...or not! :-)

DTC 475 (First Post)

My name is Josh Cook. I'm divorced, have three awesome kids, a wonderful girlfriend, and a couple of "adopted kids". I currently work for a beverage distributor full time and am attending W.S.U. full time in order to earn a B.A. in D.T.C.

I'm an avid outdoorsman. I'm obsessed with hunting and fishing. I hunt just about everything (Deer, Waterfowl, Upland, Deer, Elk, etc...), but especially enjoy hunting wild turkey's and bowhunting deer. Being outdoors and pursuing game is my greatest passions other than my family and friends. I love feeling the adrenaline rush that it brings as well as the tranquility of being in nature. I recently started pursuing competitive duck calling....Gotta have something to do to keep "in shape" in the off season. When I'm not hunting I'm fishing mainly for salmon and steelhead. They're the fish that I usually eat the most of, so I almost exclusively concentrate my time and efforts targeting them.

I love being a Dad, but it is definately a full time job. My kids (Daughter 14, Daughter 10, and Son 9) are very active in sports, friends, and activities, so I'm constantly on the move. I'm very fortunate to have family and a girlfriend who help me out when I need it. My children are the joys and trials of my life. While all of my kids are very well mannered, they do have the tendancy to become erratic at times, but what kids doesn't. For most of you who are parents, you understand exactly where I'm coming from on this. For those of you who don't currently have children.....have some fun and live a bit before entering into kid-dom. :-)

Lets see...More about me....Hmmm.....

I'm almost 33

Have no life, since I'm working full time, going to school full time, and parenting.

Favorite Restraunts:
- Jackson's chicken wings (The sweet and tangy wings are awesome)
- Outback Steakhouse (I'm a big meat eater- Gotta have my steak - Med. Rare - and coconut shrimp...Love their salads there too...alwasy so fresh)
- Famous Daves (I love BBQ)
- Anthony's (FRESH seafood is a must- Something sitting around for 3 days or more doesn't appeal to me.)
- Bonefish (Bang Bang Shrimp....Yummy)

Favorite Sports To Watch(At least when I have time):
- Any M.M.A. or Cage fighting action
- Futbol (aka soccer)- English Premeir League
- Football - Usually only during the playoffs...

I enjoy a variety of wines (Dunhamn 2006 Trutina is one of my current favs) and beers (too many favorites to list), fast cars and beautiful women... ;-)

Really, I could keep going, but if you're that interested in chatting or getting to know me, I suppose you'll ask me the questions. ;-)

I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you better!
