Southern California
I grew up my whole life in Southern California (age 5 to 25). Not too far from Los Angeles and all it had to offer, not too far from the beach and waves, not too far from the desert and mountains and its fresh air, not too bad of a place to be raised. I haven't spent much time in California over the past few years. Going to school in Hawaii and having your family relocate to Canada makes it more difficult to keep in touch with you roots; it sill doesn't change how dynamic a place is or what it's worth to you. I really enjoy this little video that showcases just a bit of what makes Southern California such a sought after place with so much to offer.
I know, I know... There is a lot of traffic and the San Fernando Valley isn't that cool but California is a great place. Cheers to a visit there in about a month or so.

Walking Salem Non-Profit Organization

Some buddies and I are starting a Non-Profit Organization that will help connect Israeli and Palestinian youth through a wilderness survival program based off of Bedouin survival techniques and culture. (These people have lived in the harshest of deserts for centuries) It is somewhat of a combination of Anasazi and PeacePlayers. Click on the links to find out more about those two incredible organizations. We are entering the Dell Social Innovation contest to try and get funding for the start up costs. I hate mass emails and messages but I made an exception since this project has so much potential to do good and now I'm taking it to my web log. Holy Smokes. If there is anyway you can help by voting or spreading the word, whether by mouth or by the internet, it would be much appreciated. Follow these simple steps to vote:

Egypt
I've been keeping a pretty close eye on the events happening in Cairo these days. I had the chance to visit Egypt in the fall of 2009. I feel like I was just there. The first picture was taken in an obscure corner of a rest stop our bus took us to. It's somewhere in the Sinai Peninsula. The second picture was taken down south of Cairo in Luxor. These little boats cruise around all day long out there. Pretty rad. The third picture is of the Giza Plateau. Pretty typical tourist shot there. I'll post more pictures in the future. I have tons more. Here is an article you should read to keep yourself informed.
