About Me

Yo yo yo... I dunno what to say about myself. I wish Steve Yorke could write this for me... his prose is worthy of praise. Praise his prose. So yeah, I am from the Maritimes, NS to be exact. I am studying Business at Acadia University and an ever decreasing rate. I am a goof. I tend to make a joke out of 90% of what I encounter... try to keep things light ya know? I can be serious, but not too often. I love to party with the boys in Wolfville, Halifax, Bedford/Fall River, and PEI (each group, of course, having their own unique charm). I like lots of different things, but have a really keen interest in the statistical side of baseball. I guess I'm a nerd too! I like writing and can have moments of brilliance. You know that "Roses are Red" poem you're always hearin bout? That was me. Basically, I just am a cool guy. There. Nuff said.

My Interests

Baseball, hockey, football, fantasy sports with my buddies, finance, movies of many types but my favorites are always the really really scary ones, music of virtually all types

I'd like to meet:

First and foremost the Dalai Lama. After that it'd be mostly chicks. Just kidding, I'm gonna have to have an alive and a not-so-alive list though.Alive: Warren Buffet, Mel Gibson, Hank Aaron, AC/DC, Metallica, Mark Prior, Ashley Judd, Claire Forlani, Nicole Kidman, Queen Elizabeth IIDead: Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris (together), Babe Ruth, FDR, JFK, Bon Scott, Katherine Hepburn, Humphrey BogartThat's all I can think of right now... I apologise

Music:

Metallica and AC/DC have become a staple in my musical life, thanks in a big part to Dylan Jackson and Jon Saunders. I cannot thank them enough. I also really like Ben Folds, Dave Matthews, Chantal Kreviazuk, Oasis, Counting Crows, Live... my current passions are Dashboard Confessional, The Darkness, and Pilate

Movies:

"Braveheart" is probably the most prolific movie in my experience, although I have yet to see "The Passion" yet. I hear its pretty intense. I also LOVE "Rounders", "Gladiator", "Labyrinth", "Zoolander", "Old School" and "Scary Movie" (this is not because they are good movies, but yet because they bring back very fond memories of watching them with my friends). I reserve a special place in my heart for the following movies: "Indiana Jones" series (not so much a trilogy for long!), "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and "Back to the Future" trilogy

Television:

24 is bomb! So is Alias! And CSI! Besides that its all pretty much just the regular funny stuff... Simpsons, That 70's Show, South Park, Family Guy, Clone High, Friends from time to time, anything starring Norm MacDonald!!!

Books:

I have limited experience with these bad boys, but I must say, I loved "Shoeless Joe" by WP Kinsella, "Catcher in the Rye" by JD Salinger, and "My Side of the Mountain" by someone I dont remember

Heroes:

Steve Yorke, Jon Saunders, Dave Paynter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Prior, Mickey Mantle, Bob Gibson, the Dalai Lama, Jesus, Mel Gibson, Conan O'Brien, Andrea Bocelli, a lot of people who do amazing things under extremely difficult circumstances
