I grew up in Hawaii. I grew up on a beach. I did not raise farm animals or produce farm goods. I did not follow a tractor and rarely mowed tha lawn. Yet if you have been to Hawaiil, you will realize that where I grew up is "country". Country is a way of life. A laid back style of living. My parents live that lifestyle. Today, I choose to live in one of the biggest craziest cities in the world-- New York City. It is not that I have turned my back on my roots, it is that I know my humble beginnings very well that I can survive in a big city and know where my true home always is... in the country.
