About Me

Hey now good pholks and family!I'm an Architect in training.....everything about design and the visual arts fascinates me, especially when it comes to the built environment and green design. Right now i'm caught between the world of the traveler and the professional and believe you me, it's a hard thing to reconcile.Just moved down to the country for a bit to work, expand my knowledge of brewing and blowing glasssearchin' for the essence of divinity in a world that sometimes seems devoid of humanity. have you ever felt the love of creation shine through your soul and felt completely at home? i have and i'm trying to get back thereall in all i'm just a kid tryin' to live his life in the best way possible......find divinity......catch as many shows as possible......and set myself up for later on. (and if i make a few bones along the way who can blame me? it's an unfortunate need in the land of babylon when you're awaitin' the train to Zion.....)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbEm_BWTnBo&mod e=related&search= Pisces
