About Me

Look me up on that other popular social network.

My Interests

My interests always change. So if you want to know what I'm currently into ask. I may not update this page often enough.

    B&W Photography
I love it. I develop my own film and print my own pictures. I love being able to control how my vision will appear in its final state. I love to share my pictures with anyone. And I love to take people pictures. If I know you and you want your pictures taken, ask. I'll be more than happy to do something with you.

My other interests:

    Christmas & Christmas movies and Christmas food, and Christmass presents and Christmas shopping. I live for the Christmas season. And so having said that, Egg Nog and spiced Rum. Yum. Cooking & baking. Shut up. I'm not domesticated. Cycling - fast, fast, fast. Move out of the fucking way. Gargoyles Ice Skating - but not falling, that hurts. Indian food Mexican food Music - Anything hard, eanything melodic, everything Christmassy Reading if I ever find the time. Don't ask, I'm probably not reading anything right now. Poutine, Pizza and Maple Syrup - Yeah, so that would mean, Quebec Fine Cuisine like tourtiere, pouding aux chaumeur, pate chinois, etc. Fuck ya. Road trips - Anywhere, I don't care. Roller blading Scary Movies - this includes the real cheesy ones, except the ones that were really scary in the 80's and could hardly scare a 5 year old today. Shopping at Kitchen Stuff Plus or the kitchen gadget department Snow - Woopie - I'll take snow suits over shorts any day. Tattoos - Got 2 and going on number trois. The beach, swimming, whatever. Vampires - muah ah ah aaah . Weight lifting

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet people who have different interests than me for relationships or friendships. This is not a hard rule, but I like to keep things interesting and is the great learning experience of life.

I also believe that no one person is boring. You may bore yourself, but I may find you exitingly fun to be with.

I try to see the good in everyone and despise poeple with no self-esteem or self-respect.I'm also interested in meeting anyone interested in purchasing my prints.

Having said that, I'd also love to meet a Suicide Girl.

Everyone who posts a comment on my page for networking purposes is allowed to post one banner only. If you are one of those bands that posts more than one banner and/or the source of your banner, your comment will be deleted. If you don't allow banners in your comments, don't post a banner here. I love meeting photographers and seeing how others view the world. It is especially interesting when a photographer has a unique style that is so engaging that I am willing to look through more of their work or even write them and expressing my joy.

Having said that, I have very picky taste. Also I can tell the difference between someone who is actually trying to improve their art and someone who thinks they are masters and really have no vision.

Movies:

T'about time! I love horror, like spicy food, the scarier the better. I also love movies which focus on one extreme and don't apologize for it. If the movie has violence in it, don't try to justify it, it's violent and that's all.
I love comedy, especially slapstick stuff like Hot Shots.
And I'm not afraid to admit that I do like the odd chick flick.

Television:

I don't follow anything on t.v. these days anymore, I kind of stick to the specialty channels and not so much regular cable. The only series that I currently do follow is Alias and someone has to tell me when the season begin or else I'll forget to watch it.

The current reality t.v. craze disturbs me. I watched fear factor for a little while. The first two seasons of Survivor was good. But now it's just way too overdone.

· Albator
· Angel
· Alias
· Buffy The Vampire Slayer
· Futurama
· Goldorak
· Simpsons
· South Park
· Xena - Warriot Princess

Books:

I used to real a lot of sci-fi stuff. The last book I read was Alien VS. Predator, about 2 months ago. So much better than the movie. I have a crap load of books that I bought when I was a member of a book club that I have to read.

I've read one Stephen King book, "Imnosia", hoping to be able to see the movie afterwords, but the bugger didn't make a movie for it.
I have a few more King books to read.

I also love to read gothic books that revolved around vampires, werewolfes and such. If anyone can recommed something outside of Anne Rice.

Heroes:

I have a few heroes. My father for one because he's worked hard all his life to spoil his family.

Terry Fox is another hero of mine. This guy had one leg, lost the other to cancer, and he ran across half of Canada to raise money for cancer. It's been 25 years, and it doesn't take much to get people to remember him. If you haven't seen the movie, then rent it, it's worth seeing.

And then there's Superman, Christopher Reeves. This guy was parallized, but yet managed to move a finger. He died in such a stupid way. He was going to walk again, I know it. He literally is Superman.

I also cannot forget my greatest of all heroes, the Swedish Chef.

People wonder why I don't believe in God. There are bigger heroes today, then there ever was.
