I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

A proud geek goalie who loves life and technology as well as nature and animals. I love to try new things cuz, eh, only got one life to work with!Get Your Own! | View SlideshowA more detailed blurb----------Here it goes--------I am ------ a vegan, an athlete, a tom boy, a flirt, a drama queen at times, friendly, a geek, loyal friend, an animal lover, a CSI fanatic, pen to any subject of conversation (life's too short to be taboo about anything), a tattoo lover, modest but confident, indecisive about the small things, a spiritualist (spiritual but not religious), a left lane hogger, a heterosexual, a poet, a songwriter, a guitar player, a goalie, always smiling (unless it's that *time* of the month :-) ) and laughing, always looking on the bright side of things, defensive, blunt, patient but impatient, ambitious yet cautious, naive, scatter-brained , selectively organized, bubbly, proud to be Canadian, talkative, imaginative....*whew*Need to know more? Just ask and ye shall receive!

My Interests

Technology - I'm in IT, it's a given. Sports - watching / playing the following: football (GO BILLS), soccer, hockey, golf,baseball,basketball, etc etc. Yup, a jock. Deep conversations Travelling - love Canada but I gotta venture. I'm sure there's more....

I'd like to meet:

1) Einstein. If only he were alive today...Preferably at a pub over a pint. Guiness? 2) Ani DiFranco. See location above. Perhaps the both of together. My brain would explode due to the open mindedness of them both. Guiness again. 3)Zach Braff. Ok, yes he's got that geeky hotness but the guy is creative as hell and I would love to pick his brain on his musical tastes. Again, over a pint. Guiness again. I'm going to be a write off soon. New beer... 4) Great Big Sea - I have met these guys before but gotta put them on the again list. They are the best time and their music is AMAZING. Goes without saying. Pub again, this time, probably would have to kiss the cod and have some screechThat's it for now...If I met the above in a bar , at this point, my mind would be inidated(sp?) with their creativity and my liver would hate me.

Music:

Love it all---------Want to hear new and groundbreaking stuff!Love punk,alternative,rock...anything that involves the actual talent of the musician and not solely the ingenius of a producer's laptop/software.Also check out my good friend Rayna at www.myspace.com/raynamusic. Her and I gig together - her music rocks! Check our her new tunes at her Myspace. Hear some electric riffs in the tunes...hmmm, I wonder who that might be? ;-)

Movies:

Garden State, To Kill a Mockingbird, LOTR, Office Space(TPS reports!) , On the Beach, etc etcMovie buff - too many to list.

Television:

CSI the original. The other ones are just nasty. Especially Miami.iiiiiiick. Just becuase something is good, doesn't mean you have to spawn spin-offs. Don't mess with a good thing.Family Guy - Stewie rules.Pardon the Interuption - love to watch those guys heckle each other about sports.Daily Show - nuff said.Grey's Anatomy - crap. Thought I could avoid it. One episode and now i'm hooked!

Books:

Da Vinci Code, any of the Patterson books, Harry Potter

Heroes:

Anyone who takes that extra step. Anyone who does things not because they have to, but because they want to. Anyone who sees the good in everyone, even when the worst in people is in their faces.Every good deed each person does is a heroic event. Yes, its cheesy. Yes, it reeks of typical "chick flick" type of remark. But, it's true.

My Blog
