brutha from anotha mutha. . .

yeah, my friend Omid checked into my life again last night. He's one of those totally opposite me type person that we all need in our lives for balance. He has such a positive energy about him and always smiling. If Omid is not smiling, something is very, very wrong.

He's recently made his way back from Hawaii by way of Australia. His second or third journey to Oz where he's been adopted by the Ulungu tribe. Did I mention he plays the didgeridoo? and was born in Iran but his family left when the Shah came to power and he was a mere child, then lived in London and finally grew up here in suburbia outside of Houston. We met while students at UHCL and I helped him get many jobs; he's a hella of a designer and talented artist but then he found his true home in Austin. So now he eats, sleeps and dreams all things didgeridoo and Aborigine culture and just life in general.

so happy to have heard from this joyful person again. . . must add Austin back to list of places okay to visit again. . .
