I love fixing teeth, painting, fitness, music, reading, watching movies, going to the beach, taking exotic vacations, competing in triathlons and eating sushi :)
I would like to meet Man Ray, Eric Dolphy, Tom Ford, Marcel Duchamp, John Galliano, Kevyn Aucoin, Gwen Stefani and Frank Zappa but that is likely impossible because half of those people are dead. Instead, I'll settle for anyone who likes Mr. Pibb and Red Vines (because they're crazy delicious).
You Belong in Barcelona
When it comes to Europe, you don't want to decide between culture and fun. You want art by day and a big party by night.
Barcelona is ideal for you. You can check out some Picasso, eat some tapas, take a siesta, and then dance all night!
What European City Do You Belong In?
I love all types of music... too many musicians to name. As strange as it may sound, I like "complicated" jazz.
In my "youth" (haha) I was strongly influenced by:
John Zorn
Painkiller
Masada
Melt Banana
The Boredoms
Pizzicato 5
Sade
The Ruins
Arto Lindsay
Mr. Bungle (Trevor Dunn)
Eric Dolphy
Miles Davis
Chick Corea
Kronos Quartet
Peter Thomas
David Shea
Tom Waits and...

Travelling to NYC as an 18 year old opened up an entirely new world to me, it has now been 10 years and I still owe a lot to the experiences and musicians I met in New York who taught me so much and gave me more than they should have...
I also love hip hop and my favourite album by far is Madvillain's Madvillainy. MF Doom and Madlib are amazing. Werd.

I like documentaries and comedies... love Ben Stiller and one of my favourite movies is the Royal Tennenbaums
If I had ten minutes of free time, which I don't... I would not be watching TV. However, I absolutely LOVE Larry David and his Curb Your Enthusiasm project. As a Canadian, I still have a soft spot for The Kids in the Hall.
Too many to name... sadly, mostly dentistry textbooks these days :S However, I am proud to say that I actually HAVE read Lautreamont's "Maldoror"... it is now sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust. I also enjoy finding old "Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children" comics, as I fell in love with "A Cotton Candy Autopsy" as a teenager. I am also a huge fan of TASCHEN art books. I will always have a soft spot for all books written by Douglas Coupland (as long as its not his first novel, Gen X). My fave is Shampoo Planet. I suppose I could also list Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass.
People who go after their dreams and those that are fearless yet positive are my heroes.
