Born: Christiansted, St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. Fam moved to Ponce, Puerto Rico when I was one. Fam moved to Houston after I turned two. Grew up there. Went to college in Austin. After that, lived in Fort Worth (2 years), Rotterdam (6 months), Arnhem (4 months), Houston again (3 years), L.A. (1 year), Brooklyn (6 months), and now I'm in Sunnyside, Queens (1 year).
I rep Houston. More specifically, Alief. Most generally, Texas and the South.
But I'm Arubian, so I rep for Aruba, all day, ereday.
I was born in Fort Bragg, North Carolina (Army brat).
Word, Fayette-nam, baby, home of the nutjobs!!!!
Haha, my homie in college was from Fatalville. I went to his house one Thanksgiving, and he gave me a little tour of his neighborhood. Pretty much every landmark was some variation of, "That's where a guy went nuts and shot four people...that's where a guy went nuts, killed his wife, and then shot himself in the middle of the street...that's the Hardees where all the big shootouts happen." Crazy.
Anyway...I'm repping Oakland, born in Pennsylvania, grew up in Connecticut, four years of college in North Carolina.
Plainview, NY (1 year) Monticello, NY (2 years) Bethel, NY (14 years) New Paltz, NY (4 years) Albany, NY (2 years) Hudson, NY (1 year) High Falls, NY (2 years) Santa Cruz, CA (3 years) Oakland, CA (2 years) Berkeley, CA (2 years)
great neighborhood ... very fond memories of my time living there, esp. the daily basketball games at shipe park with G, tree, contractor, earl the deaf alcoholic, cap, chuck, chance, lee, and whoever else rolled through .. it will be a nice day when i can finally break out of new york on my own terms and go back

You guys know me as a Mavs fan, but that fervor is about .6 of what-it-do when the Saints are Marching In.
I've lived in Austin for 8 years now. Love it and will probably be here for some more years.
But yeah, "I'm from Louisiana". And I ain't even from the *cool* part of that state. I'll rep it always though.
