| Location | Ventura, California |
| Introduction | I am a musician, a photographer, a carpenter, a filmmaker, a philosopher and a student of life. The Practicing Beach Bum is not just a philosophy, it is a way of life, my way of life. I have always chosen my own path, maybe not always the correct path but I follow it until the next path to choose arrives in front of me. My life philosophy has been, and still is, “Money is easy to come by, time isn’t.” It’s pretty self explanatory. I choose to spend my time wisely, we are only here on this planet for so long (as far as we know) so I choose to enjoy as much of it as I can. This blog is dedicated to the life I lead. I will be documenting my journey with photos, videos and writings from wherever I may be. I hope you enjoy the ride. So after reading this you can say I am the practicing beach bum, or you can just call me Jim. |
