Still a naive, idealistic, dreamer...

About Me

Born and raised in Regina/Moose Jaw/Markinch,Saskatchewan. The most UNpopular province/state in Canada voted by tourists. Spent my childhood sidestepping street gangs in Regina while going to Kitchener and then Scott collegiate,as well as jumping cow patties,and wizzing behind grain bins in Markinch,Tried my best to avoid stupidity in Moose Jaw, but ended up in Saskatoon. Spent my adulthood working at Sears Cornwall Centre(i miss you John,Jim,John,June,Denise,and Mr.C) and playing every videogame known to vidiots like me. Recieved an oh so wonderful gift in 1996, when I was diagnosed with a disease called I.T.P.(ideopathic throbocytopenic purpura). A wonderful gift that is supposed to make me love life more and enjoy the little things cuz there aint no &#;$%&!! cure. I should be sarcastic and say sumpin... but I won't.I'll just be Canadian and let it slide... Met my soul mate Martha and moved to Florida where I now sidestep roadkill on the way to work, unforgiving heat in the summer, and stupidity on the road in Poinciana.I should be Floridian and say sumpin sarcastic,but I'll just be Canadien and let it slide... Ok Florida pride time. "Family auto mart" infomercial. A Central Florida staple.I lived near the Kissimmee location in the video for awhile. Yes "They" are this stupid and funny when they aint driving blind....
