\u00a0That is something that I plan to fix. \u00a0I have many ideas but need to work it out and will do so right in front of you on this blog. \u00a0I want to introduce more organic and interactive content (videos, photos) as well as add links and resources that will help those who visit my site and my customers.<\/p>\n<p>I hope while I share my passions and learn about new ones we can do it together and have some fun.<\/p>\n<div id='contact-form-5'>\n<form action='http:\/\/yourtypicalguy.com\/?page_id=5#contact-form-5' method='post' class='contact-form commentsblock'>\n<script>\n\t\t\t( function () {\n\t\t\t\tconst contact_forms = document.getElementsByClassName('contact-form');\n\n\t\t\t\tfor ( const form of contact_forms ) {\n\t\t\t\t\tform.onsubmit = function() {\n\t\t\t\t\t\tconst buttons = form.getElementsByTagName('button');\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\tfor( const button of buttons ) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbutton.setAttribute('disabled', true);\n\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t} )();\n\t\t<\/script>\n<div class='grunion-field-wrap grunion-field-name-wrap'  >\n<label\n\t\t\t\tfor='g5-namenornickname'\n\t\t\t\tclass='grunion-field-label name'\n\t\t\t\t>Namen or Nickname<span>(required)<\/span><\/label>\n<input\n\t\t\t\t\ttype='text'\n\t\t\t\t\tname='g5-namenornickname'\n\t\t\t\t\tid='g5-namenornickname'\n\t\t\t\t\tvalue=''\n\t\t\t\t\tclass='name' \n\t\t\t\t\trequired aria-required='true'\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div class='grunion-field-wrap grunion-field-email-wrap'  >\n<label\n\t\t\t\tfor='g5-email'\n\t\t\t\tclass='grunion-field-label email'\n\t\t\t\t>Email<span>(required)<\/span><\/label>\n<input\n\t\t\t\t\ttype='email'\n\t\t\t\t\tname='g5-email'\n\t\t\t\t\tid='g5-email'\n\t\t\t\t\tvalue=''\n\t\t\t\t\tclass='email' \n\t\t\t\t\trequired aria-required='true'\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div class='grunion-field-wrap grunion-field-text-wrap'  >\n<label\n\t\t\t\tfor='g5-whattopicinterestsyou'\n\t\t\t\tclass='grunion-field-label text'\n\t\t\t\t>What Topic Interests you?<\/label>\n<input\n\t\t\t\t\ttype='text'\n\t\t\t\t\tname='g5-whattopicinterestsyou'\n\t\t\t\t\tid='g5-whattopicinterestsyou'\n\t\t\t\t\tvalue=''\n\t\t\t\t\tclass='text' \n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div class='grunion-field-wrap grunion-field-textarea-wrap'  >\n<label\n\t\t\t\tfor='contact-form-comment-g5-comment'\n\t\t\t\tclass='grunion-field-label textarea'\n\t\t\t\t>Comment<span>(required)<\/span><\/label>\n<textarea\n\t\t                name='g5-comment'\n\t\t                id='contact-form-comment-g5-comment'\n\t\t                rows='20' class='textarea'  required aria-required='true'><\/textarea>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<p class='contact-submit'>\n\t\t<button type='submit' class='pushbutton-wide'>Submit<\/button>\t\t<input type='hidden' name='contact-form-id' value='5' \/>\n\t\t<input type='hidden' name='action' value='grunion-contact-form' \/>\n\t\t<input type='hidden' name='contact-form-hash' value='d77637015a12f8cd2a23c51cdc8902309161340b' \/>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started this blog as a creative outlet. \u00a0My name is Joe Simpson. \u00a0I am your average 44 year old guy with a lovely wife and 4 children. \u00a0Over the past 15-20 years I have taken on quite an array of Hobbies and Interests. \u00a0These hobbies range from Videography, Photography, Cooking, Construction, Household repair,\u00a0Boating, Computer Hardware, Networking, Media Devices, etc. \u00a0You name it&#8230;I am interested in it!
