Yes, I'm now thirty (as of Aug 15th).
Yes, I still ride a skateboard, snowboard, surfboard, dress
funny and have tattoos.
Things I still love:
Being married, coffee, beer, travel, culture, music, adventure sports, movies, chips & salsa, art, fashion, clouds, ocean, our pets. Ok, the list goes on forever.
How do I see the world now at thirty? Well, most of the time it's viewed through a pair of sunglasses, windows from the house, driving in a car and like a excited kid with questions. Obviously, that is literal but so much changes depending on what perspective and environment you are looking out from. Sometimes, life whizzes past you like scenery and other times you just want to stop and look at it a little more carefully, whether it's somewhere removed or right up close. I ponder these things because there's always so much to see. I prefer it this way so I can learn to look, observe and really see beyond the surface of things. I see the world and my life as a place where both undeserved blessings and struggles always happen. But I try to embrace that. Embracing my weaknesses, adventures, awkwardness, challenges, passions, individuality and the things that are "me" will keep me living and not just existing. My heart's desire is to have real community, grow closer with the Lord, my wife, family and friends. I want to be used in the world fully for God's glory and to stay young at heart. So here's to joining the ranks of the adults. Stay young at heart, adventurous and be blessed everyone.

This winter season I had a weekend to escape with a group of local guys to Mt Bachelor to go riding. It was pure bliss. Blue sky with no wind and lots of new fresh white stuff. AMAZING! My plan is to snowboard long into my sixties or as long as my body and take it. I have a feeling my wife will out ride me at that age though.
Yes, it has been a long time since my last post. For the past few months, I have been taking a needed break, learning about myself and the direction I will be going with my work. As an artist, it is important to remained inspired as well as keep everything balanced. I am starting this post as a fresh dedication to my work and commitment to blogging better in 2010.
