I believe. I think a lot, I feel a lot -- maybe too much, but I can't help it; in fact, like it. I want to change the world in my own little way and to have fun and learn as much as I can in the process! I require much solitude but feed off the spotlight. I'm clumsily striving for a balance of freedom and stability; adventure and comfort; independence and support. I don't take myself too seriously but I have big dreams that I'm very serious about pursuing! I love life. I have a huge smile and am far more sensitive than first impressions may convey. I believe in laughter, lightness, love, people, possibility, truth, silliness, change, integrity; in seeing and respecting people for who they really are. I walk everywhere. I travel a lot and have just moved back to my hometown of Montreal to focus on creative projects both meaningful and lucrative. (I make my living as a journalist.) I am often accidentally inappropriate but always sincere; some disapprove and I pretend I don't care but secretly I do. I bruise easily, both inside and out. I need my quiet alone time to recharge... and my wild adventure time to put it all out there! I used to achieve balance through extremes, though now learning to live on a more even keel. I probably work too much but it doesn't feel like work sometimes. (I'm so lucky for that...) As a child, I read encycopedias for fun. Now, after a decade-long phase of hedonistic escapism and self-indugence, I find myself exploring emotional, spiritual, and intellectual thrills in addition to cheap ones. Philosophy, chaos theory, quantum physics, astronomy, literature and art provide what laughter, vodka, travel, and humans cannot. But it's still not enough.... except when it is. Acting helps. During my international investigations of espionage and intrigue, often I wonder: How can such a genius be such an asshole? I like to dance around my apartment alone. Or with other people, too...
