About Me

This section was brought to you by the letters "I will rewrite this later." ..

My Interests

Piano, Art, Rock Climbing, Mountain Climbing, Writing, Reading, Music, Sleeping. Have you ever notice that you have no time for any of your interests once you're out of school? It's like you compile this list of things that make you an interesting person and then proceed to base hundreds of dinner conversations on knowledge obtained in a five (or seven)year period five years ago. I still bond with people over martial arts and I haven't thrown a kick in almost a decade.

I'd like to meet:

People who not only care about their work, but also care about what others have done previously and believe that the only way to be relevant now is to understand what came before.People who realize and actually accept that celebrities are just people doing a job like anyone else. No more, no less.People who need people. They're the luckiest ... I hate Streisand.

Music:

Gotta be a type of musical polyglot. It's in my job description.

Movies:

Bond, James Bond. The Sting, The Meaning of Life, Glengarry GlenRoss, Run Lola Run, Dirty Harry, Spy Game, Best in Show, High Fidelity

Television:

Lost, Daybreak, Justice, Law & Order, The Daily Show, Rick Mercer Report

Books:

Fall on Your Knees; No Great Mischief; Life of Pi; Les Miserables; Negotiating with the Dead; Eats, Shoots & Leaves; On Equilibrium; The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes; Pilgrim; A Widow for One Year; The Sea; True and False; Winning;

Not Dead, Just Too Much Christmas Junk

You know that bloated, over indulged feeling that takes over after turkey? I ate three full turkey meals plus leftovers and it's taken me until today to recover. That and I needed a couple of days o...

Christmas Lights

Yeah, I missed a couple entries. I was sick and then had places to go and presents to buy. Sue me. Tonight I caught the Neverending White Lights at the Drake. Great band. If you have the opportun...

You like to party? I like to party.

An industry party is a beast completely different from the company party. It was an exciting time when I went to my first one and I still do get a little stoked about them. A company party is where ...

One down, Eleven to Go

So what does that make me?

So yesterday I spazzed out over Stephen Harper acknowledging Quebec as a nation. I wrote a blog on it that I've since deleted once a cooler head prevailed. After all, he didn't suggest Quebec was a ...
