read, think, do

Reading of late:
The Caliph's House, Tahir Shah. Finished - loved it. GREAT look at modern Morocco from an outsider's perspective.

The Sheltering Sky, Paul Bowles. LOVE him, really enjoying this so far. Yet another book about Morocco, and foreigners trying to make it there, (more or less).

Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree, Tariq Ali. Trying trying trying to finish this, but it is like pulling teeth. I just can't get into this look on the fall of Granada.

Thinking of late:
That I'm extraordinarily stir crazy, and in need of some change. Work is extraordinarily dissatisfying. I have about a month until classes start at U of L. I know that will introduce some welcome change, but shit, I could sure use some now!

Watching of late:
24. What else is there?

About Me

My photo
I would be remiss if I didn't extend my gratitude to the Fulbright program for this jaw-dropping opportunity, as well as to the Honors Department at the University of Louisville, for its hard work in ensuring my selection as an English Teaching Assistant to Oman for the 2012-2013 year. My brief bio - Born and raised in Amboy, WA, I attended Clark College in Vancouver, before going on to the University of Washington in Seattle where I earned a BFA in Fine Arts - Oil Painting in 2004. I then attended USMC Officer Candidate's School, and accepted a commission as a second lieutenant in the summer of 2005. I served for four years as a logistics officer, stationed in Camp Lejeune and deployed worldwide. After the conclusion of my commission, I moved to Louisville, KY where I attended the University of Louisville, achieving a BA in Art History and a minor in Middle East and Islamic Studies.


Thoughts

An overview of my life, a journal of my days, a sketchbook of my thoughts and observations.
