Justin McDowell at your services!
At the grandeur age of 23; I am very drawn to nature, especially the beach!
My interest in bonsai started 2 years ago but I just recently began to educate myself about it.
I have 3 trees so far, all in the training stages. they are:
-my mallsai which i hope will eventually transform into something attractive (juniper)
-A satsuki hybrid azalea (my baby) and im getting more when I find nice ones
-and a manzanita that I dug up a few weeks ago and dont really know what to do with just yet. I want to make sure it survives first, of course.
Hobbies besides bonsai:
I live around, in, and for music (metal). I have been in several bands playing several instruments, but now I do my own thing. I just put out my first CD in July!!
I like snowboarding

I like educating myself about many things, politics, engineering, philosophy, science, and other nerdy things.
And speaking of nerdy things I go to the renaissance faire many times every year in full costume... Huzzah!!!
Ummm, Im getting married May 31st this year! Hooray!
Im am a working student (ie both a machinist and a mechanical engineering major)
I enjoy what I do very much. I have so many ambitions so I got no time to waste. Glad to be amongst fellow... (Id call you enthusiasts but that doesnt do you justice) Its the patience and value of natural art that I admire.
