About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
I'm a 3rd year Communications major with dreams of using what I've learned at the University of Ottawa to win a crazy hot dog eating contest. Although slim, I think I can do it. I go to tons of concerts and my hearing is worse for the wear as a result. Music and hockey are probably my favorite things in the world, next to good friends, family, and people with something interesting to say. If you want to shoot the shit about music, sports, politics, or whatever, I'm usually up for a stimulating conversation. I love making people laugh by way of sharp, well-timed observations and silly 3rd grade antics (running up a descending escalator for example). Right now I'm working under the moniker of DJ Start Select at the Thirsty Scholar in downtown Ottawa, come check out some good tunes on a Wednesday night if you like. The bands on my list usually get thrown in the mix, if that gives you a better idea....Cheers and Chug!
