The common term Renaissance man is used to describe a person who is well educated or who excels in a wide variety of subjects or fields.[3] The concept emerged from the numerous great thinkers of that era who excelled in multiple fields of the arts and science, including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Galileo Galilei, Copernicus and Francis Bacon; the emergence of these thinkers was likewise attributed to the then rising notion in Renaissance Italy expressed by one of its most accomplished representatives, Leon Battista Alberti (1404–1472): that "a man can do all things if he will." It embodied the basic tenets of Renaissance humanism, which considered humans empowered, limitless in their capacities for development, and led to the notion that people should embrace all knowledge and develop their capacities as fully as possible. Thus the gifted people of the Renaissance sought to develop skills in all areas of knowledge, in physical development, in social accomplishments, and in the arts. The term has since expanded from original usage and has been applied to other great thinkers before and after the Renaissance such as Aristotle, Johann Goethe, and Isaac Newton.

Joey is a inspiration to alot of us .He has a good life and still plays good pool .Not to mention takes time to pass on some of his life experiences to others .Just an example ,I called Joey a couple days ago during a work day and he took time to talk to me at length about shoes .I had been curious about this type of shoe that Joey recomended and wanted a little more info .
Thanks Joey , I appreciate you and your time .Having friends like Joey and Lock who have lived more life and worn more shoes and hats than me is a true treasure in a younger mans life . :thumbup:

You're a blessing to be around too, Matt! Thanks for your friendship.

Google? You got to be kidding me! Used to have a shylock on every construction job doing the payday loans before there were storefronts doing it. Nobody failed to pay the vig and the debt when a quick nudge would lead to an accidental fall off of a couple hundred feet of iron.

One "lock" you may not know is a product called Lock-Ease. Magic stuff, good in locks, good to free stuff that is stuck, good to use like never seize, good to prep a gun bore to make it shoot straighter and clean easier.

JoeyA, the man, the myth, the legend! I nominate Joey for the 2012 AZ Billiards "Man Of The Year" award, to be given to one outstanding individual every year! Joey has earned this award thanks to his many wonderful passages on this forum, his stellar play and his fine character overall.

Congratulations Joey, now can I borrow 20 until the next time I see you? :wink:

JoeyA is an OK guy I guess...But, I am concerned that he spends all his time, trying out and promoting new 'aiming systems' on the internet. (not a high paying vocation)

I fear this may lead to ignoring his business and family, and he may be too tired to commentate..What a shame, he once had so much going for him..:shrug:

Lock,
Yeah, I said Lock. I realize that if you can be friends with Matt and so many other good people on AZB that I have no right to take your "Lock". You can have it back. My bad.

I was going to post a link to the story that SmorgasBored posted about how he won another man's name and how all the people in the pool hall no longer called the guy by that name since he lost it in a pool game to Smorg. It was a funny story but I was unable to find the link.

Besides, you have been able to do what no other human being has been able to do. You have single-handidly, with mere words, somehow, managed to capture the quick-footed, and elusive GingerBread Man. That is a feat that I have failed to do in all my years on AZ Billiards Main Forum.

Dick,
You have to make sure to read my next thread about the aiming system CTE/Pro1 next week. I don't have time to complete it just now but you and others have inspired me to share this next piece of the journey. I'll start it sometime next week.

You won't have to drink Yukon Jack after reading this thread. It will be everything you searched for but never found in a bottle. (I know, I know, you probably won't want it if it can't be found in a bottle of Yukon Jack). You'll just have to bear that cross. :D

It's true that Joey is an alround athlete and a credit to AZ.

...but things don't always work out for 'Joey with a Thai'....

JoeyA used to be one of the top commentators in pool IMO. He speciality was having a pro in the booth and trying to squeeze out a special hidden tips from a pro in each broadcast.

I havent heard him in years, and that's a shame. I miss listening to him commentate.

I am going to take a chance and talk out of school a little here. I think the reason we aren't seeing much of JoeyA is that he created a monster! He had a simple idea. A database where marines could catch up with the guys they went through boot with or I believed served with too. It also includes some navy medics, I believe only the ones that were embedded with marines but I am not sure of what I am saying here so that might need some clarification. I guess the marines go to navy hospitals too?

His site is something like "Find Your Platoon". As of yesterday it had eighty thousand members. I would suspect that the site and database require a lot of moderating. I miss Joey on here but do understand. He started a small thing and seems to have a tiger by the tail now!
