adrift
i call myself an urbanite, but really, that's what i'd like to be. it's what i study in school
i'm also currently a local government employee.
here you'll find me blogging about my three cities: jacksonvile, atlanta, and fort lauderdale.
these are some of my friends:
culture, music, traveling, politics, sweet tea, public transportation, labradors, community, and jesus.

NYTimes writer, Andy Newman, walks a marathon length trip around his block 75.4 times with his basset hound:
The idea came to me on my umpteenth walk with Barnaby, a basset hound with a trace of beagle that we adopted from a shelter in June. Somehow, the thought “This is pathetic — I’m walking miles every day without getting anywhere” morphed into “What if we kept walking — without going anywhere? Wouldn’t that be kind of cool?”
Suddenly, the dutiful, oddly agrarian-feeling urban activity of escorting an animal outdoors for nature’s call took on the urgency of adventure. With the hound as social lubricant, I would immerse myself in the quotidian rhythms and stutter-steps of the block, watching its lives intersect or sometimes — it’s a neighborly block, but this is New York City, after all — float by one another without acknowledgment.
This is so cool.
