About Me

Born and raised in Port Alberni, BC. Moved out when I was 18 and lived around the Island for about 5 years but then moved Toronto. Now I live in Ottawa. Itâ€™s the capital of Canada. Not the original however. Kingston. I went there and met a guy had seen Bobby Baker in the grocery store. I felt famous. Ottawa claims to have the worldâ€™s largest skating rink but really itâ€™s just a canal. Between Inuvik, NT and Tuktoyaktuk, NT there is a stretch of river that freezes and becomes pretty much the most phenomenal flat highway in the world aptly named the Ice Road. In the supreme court, (in Ottawa) on certain days of the year, there are law students that know what kinds of woods it is made of. Fuck Yeah! I'm not really a band so much as a person with a computer and some recording stuff... not very good stuff. I'm gonna release an album soon. Well not really an album so much as song's i've recorded on my computer and then put them on a blank disc and put them in a baggie and sell them for as much as someone wants to give me for it (assuming that the cost of materials used in so much as but not exclusive to physical materials as well as intellectual property in propriety does not supersede that of the suggested cost) At some point Iâ€™ld like to have a lot of money, maybe a helicopter and some Koalas in my eucalyptus trees in the yard of my Sproat Lake summer residence. (focus.) After the album Iâ€™ll go back to work on my musical about the world's largest frog and the boy who loved him. I'm thinking about changing it to a girl though because the boy thing has been done to death. However I won't be able to play the lead so... Things used to be more clearcut living near a clearcut.
