User:JoelsonCarl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So... I just read through all that stuff of what Wikipedia is NOT, and I realized that my user page has a lot of those no-no's. But I put a lot of work into this, so I'll keep what I have for now. I guess some of the information could be useful in determining how I can collaborate on the encyclopedia. For example, I can possibly help out in areas of math, music, Star Wars, and video games...

[edit] Life
[edit] Early Years (1989 - 1995)
Joel was born January of 1989 in Massachusetts. At about six months of age, Joel moved to a location near Heidelberg, Germany, where his father had been stationed with the US military. Three years later, the family (consisting of Joel, his father, mother, one older sister, and one older brother) moved to Nebraska. It was there that Joel spent his preschool and kindergarten years. A younger sister joined the family during this time as well.
[edit] Elementary/Middle School Years (1995 - 2003)
Joel's father retired from the military in 1995, and the family moved to Wisconsin the summer of that year; they still reside there to this day.
Few memories of elementary school (grades one through five) remain with Joel. More memories of middle school (grades six through eight) remain, but Joel believes there is nothing worth mentioning from this time.
[edit] High School Years (2003 - 2007)
[edit] Academics
Joel graduated 25 May 2007 from Pulaski High School with a 4.0 unweighted GPA. He was tied for first in class rank with two other people.
[edit] Extracurricular Activities
Some of the extracurricular activities that Joel participated in during his high school years include Mu Alpha Theta (math club), National Honor Society, drama, and band.
Drama was one of the more-involved activities. Three productions occurred each school year: a one act in the fall, a musical in the winter, and a melodrama in the spring. Joel participated as either a member of the cast or stage crew for all three productions every year, with the exception of the one act his freshman year.
Band was by far the most time-involving activity of Joel's activities. Taking the normal class of band automatically meant inclusion in the fall marching band program and the winter pep band performances (sophomores and above for pep band). The clarinet is what Joel has played since sixth grade. Joel also participated in jazz band on the piano, saxophone, and occasional clarinet (excluding junior year).
[edit] Work
From 10 July 2006 to early July 2007, Joel worked as an order entry associate and customer service agent for Eastbay.
[edit] College (2007 - Present)
During July of 2007 into August of 2007, Joel participated in a five week program called "fast track calculus" through Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Joel then began his college career in late August of 2007.
Joel is currently a computer engineering major in the class of 2011 at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
[edit] Worldly Activities
[edit] Leader of Nations
Joelson Carl is the leader of a number of different nations.
[edit] Republic of Nos'leoj
On March 5, 2006, Joelson Carl formed the Republic of Nos'leoj. The government and leadership of the republic has changed over time, but currently Joelson Carl is the president (although with dictatorial control). At one point, the Republic of Nos'leoj had a constitution (completed April 20, 2006); however, this constitution is no longer in effect.
[edit] Province of Nos'leoj
On March 28, 2006, Joelson Carl established the Province of Nos'leoj. Once under the reign of the Republic of Nos'leoj, the province now enjoys autonomy. The Prime Minister is the leader of the province, and Joelson Carl currently fulfills that role.
[edit] Kingdom of Nos'leoj
On May 2, 2006, Joelson Carl created the Kingdom of Nos'leoj. There is little to say about this realm. Joelson Carl is the current king.
[edit] Region of Nos'leoj
Sometime in June of 2006, the Republic, Province, and Kingdom of Nos'leoj all united under the Region of Nos'leoj. Under the watchful eye of Supreme Emperor Joelson Carl, each nation still maintains its individual status and individual leader. One could supposedly liken this to an alliance.
[edit] Citizenship
Besides citizenship in the US, Republic of Nos'leoj, Province of Nos'leoj, and Kingdom of Nos'leoj, Joelson Carl also possesses citizenship in the esteemed Republic of Tinselman.
[edit] Republic of Tinselman
The Republic of Tinselman is a republic under the illustrious rule of the great Khan Robyn Miller. Or, it should be ruled by Khan Miller, except for the fact that Khan Miller is lost somewhere on the other side of the universe. Thankfully, a crew under the leadership of William Shatner is on a mission aboard the Enterprise to find and rescue Khan Miller.
The Republic of Tinselman is a very diverse place. It has a rich and complex history. In fact, the Republic of Tinselman is so complex it could have its own Wikipedia article. Unfortunately, the overzealous moderators of Wikipedia deemed the republic as "not real" (or something similar to that) and therefore unworthy of its own article. Therefore, an article about the Republic of Tinselman was written on Uncyclopedia. Unfortunately, someone there didn't like it, and the article was deleted despite its massive amount of information, knowledge, facts, and cool pictures. Now this is the only place where the Republic of Tinselman is even mentioned on either wiki (unless someone deletes the "JoelsonCarl" user page for even mentioning all this).
Anyway, Joelson Carl is currently serving as Engineer and Cook aboard the Enterprise in the search for Khan Miller.
