About Me

Grew up in Alabama, Lived in Wisconsin 6 years, migrated to CA for 4 years, busted open the doors to Asia 7 months ago and currently living in Korea. Jonesing to surf hence the photos of one of my favorite breaks...Ocean Beach San Francisco Fall 2005. Currently planning to begin a certificate program in Sustainable Real Estate Development Fall 2006 at Portland State University. HOLLA!!Looking to travel when I get back stateside to NYC and visit my bro Shaun for a coupla' weeks (see my friends list) and to drink some good beer and catch some music for real. It's kind of desolate over here musically, either that or I just can't find it. Yikes!!!Then to Alabama to "take me back to the place where I first saw the light, the sweet sunny south take me home, where the mockingbirds sing me to rest every night oh why was I tempted to roam?".Trying to do yoga to chill and clear my head from all that chatter, but it's hard sometimes...like I said missing surfing like crazy. Don't miss CA gas prices ($2.71 the week of April 1st) or driving in general. Guess I better live near the beach.My dream is to create some sustainable housing that greater puts people in touch with the land around them, enhances their understanding of the way the earth works and to minimize or even eliminate a car from the picture completely. Ideally w/ lots of people commuting on bikes, buses, trains or just plain walking. Besides that feels real good anyways!I'd also like to create some sort of hostel near a hidden surf break so that it won't ever get too crowded. That's my myspace update for the moment...y'all keep it real over there and I'll be back soon.Joe
