About Me

In real life, people talk to each other before becoming friends, so please don't add me to your friends list if I have no idea who you are - because I WON'T add you.Si je ne te connais pas, je ne t'ajouterai pas. Envoi-moi un message au moins - les amis, ils se parlent avant de se dire amis!No te conosco, no te agrego. Es tan simple. Que me mandas un mensaje - en la vida, los amigos se hablan antes de decirse amigos!Non ti conosco quindi non ti aggiungo... inviatemi un messagio come fanno gli amici nella vita!Cat Speakerlove, tekno embassador for Neurotik Sound System and part time wanker barrilete for Awka Tribe (Argentina), at your service. I am so called for my habit of humping speakers wherever I go, you can be sure that no matter where I am I will find your speakers and love them. I sold my soul for a bassline and I like to stick my head in the sub... strangely enough I'm not deaf YET, but I'm working on it. I like stuff. I like to travel, a lot. obsessively, maybe, so much that when i'm not travelling i'm dreaming of travelling so I can forget about how stagnant life gets when you're locked in between 4 walls and not on the road. As long as I have my pack, my feet, my thumb and a smile I will keep on moving, odds are one of these days you'll probably run into me walking barefoot down a dirt road. I'm a modern day nomad, like a snail I carry my home on my back and I like it that way. I go where I want, when I want, and not without a certain amount of ARGGGGG, like when your dog randomly dies of horrible puppy killing disease, or when you have to pay for a "DEFINATE EXIT" visa, or getting caught in the middle of the desert for 2 days with very little water, or waking up with sand fleas. But it's worth it, for waking up and seeing amazing sunrises, seeing new people, new faces, new places, cultures, languages, dialects. This is what I live for. It's by travelling around and following a bassline that I met my tekno family, the amazing NTK wankers who are based in Montreal, Quebec; and my keridos wankers Awka Tribe in Buenos Aires. Travelling renewed my faith in humanity.. even though sometime you wake up and wonder how you're going to get through the day and where your next meal, beer or place to sleep will come from... but there's always a silver lining. Keep your head up, smile, and enjoy the sunrise, the starry skies. Take on the road, and pick up, pack up and go!Right now I've put down my pack in exchange for Buenos Aires craziness, just for a little bit. It makes me sad, but sometimes, ya gotta suck it up. However, I am stuck in South America, although I am sure there are worse places I could be.. so help fund my 2007 - 2008 teknotrashbag tour!I like to swing things and pretend that it's a form of juggling, I like banging on drums with no rythym, singing out of tune at the top of my lungs and pretending to know how to dance. Ma langue maternelle est le francais, y se habla castellano, con un acento que no tiene sentido pero que pa mi refleta mi pasaje por todos lados de latino amerika. I can probably out drink you and your foosball team, and if you're buying, I'm there. I suffer from alcoholic narcolepsy and randomly drunkenly pass out anywhere, generally somewhere near a speaker, or with my head in the subwoofer, or sometimes on a street corner. This often results in comical, fucked up and embarrassing situations that I'd rather not hear about as you tell me what stupid things I did the night before.I am a writer and a blogger.. currently you can read about past adventures through my blog and my hitchhiking chronicles:

My Interests

speakerloving and globe trotting. wandering the world with a dollar in my pocket and my thumb in the air. being a trashbag with crackwhore class. being an arrogant fuck with a goofy smile. knowing more than you, knowing less than you. writing, in french, and blogging, in english. attempting to speak spanish like an argentine, while hopelessly constructing sentences a la francaise. cultures. street performance - mime, juggling, circus. music. literature. diy living and underground culture. languages. people, they scare me, but they intrigue me.

I'd like to meet:

Recently I have started writing chronicles about my adventure that took me from Oliver, British Colombia, Canada, to Buenos Aires, Argentina, via the USA and Mexico.. Hitchhiking alone with my dog we left Canada with 1.50$ and crossed the border on foot, trying to get as south as possible. My goal of reaching Argentina by Christmas 2007 was met, with a lot of luck.These stories were left out of my blog for the most part and they mean a lot to me. I hope you enjoy them too! So go have a look, and tell me what you think.http://www.startbackpacking.com/1-chroniques.html adventures in hitchhiking: the chronicles
Here are some things that people have had to say..."Well written; touching and evocative"
"I thought I lived on the edge when I was young but didn't have the courage for anything like this!"
"The author has a lovely, natural way of expressing herself.. I literally gobbled it up. It is fascinating reading."
"Reminds me of the Jack Kerouac novels that I so loved in high school. Not many people in the 1st class world wake up not knowing where their next meal will come from or how far they will they have to walk that day. It's a hard life but the author must really appreciate all the things we Northamericans take for granted every day. When you live like that even the smallest things like a beer, cigarette, hot meal or a warm bed can become things of great pleasures that most of us sadly take for granted. "
"I was almost angry when I got to the bottom of the page and saw there was nothing left to read, I had already gotten into it like a novel! It makes me feel like I'm in the author's head the entire time, I see what she sees."
"A very talented and gifted writer with no fear of the unknown... Excitement, challenges, courage, intelligence and hard work make her journey fullfilling."
"The author has a to the point, bold style with a natural flow that follows her train of thought."

Music:

I need music 24/7 or else I get lost in my head! My two great loves are tekno (Hardtekno, Hardkore, Tribe, Acidtek, DnB/Breaks and Breakcore, "elektrokitsch", Experimental, Noise) and French accordeon folk music (Negresses Vertes, La rue Ketanou, Ogres de Barback, Oztara, Tryo, etc..) / tzigane style moosac (like Goran Bregovic, Emir Kusturica & the No Smoking Orchestra!)... I love reggaeton, seriously LOVE reggaeton and dance hall, makes me shake it shake it shake it, perreo dancing makes me super happy and break into a sweat like nothing else! Bring it on and watch me dance all night. Also acoustic stuff, indie rock (Jean Leloup!) , 60s-70s music (I <3 Velvet Underground and Lou Reed)... Jazz, Blues, Johnny "the Man in Fucking Black" Cash.. 80s cheese, New Wave, "turntablists" and some hip hop (TTC, Deltron 3030, Kid Koala, Roots Manuva, most Ninja Tune stuff).. Lots of other styles too. I'll give anything and everything a listen (at least once)..

Movies:

Cidade de Deus, Bernie... Carandiru.. lots of asian (miike - Audition, Visitor Q, Ichi the Killer; nakata - Dark Water, Ringu; kurosawa, kitano, Tsui hark..), Jean Pierre Jeunet (Delicatessen, Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain), Todd Solondz, George Romero (gotta love zombie flicks), Dario "Master of Gore, Father of Hottest Woman Alive" Argento, Erick Zonca, Darren Aronofsky (PI, Requiem for a Dream), the two Davids: Cronenberg and Lynch, Doom Generation, Sid and Nancy, La vita è Bella, Kids Return, Amen, Brazil (Terry Gilliam = Genius), Brain Dead, Videodrome, Scanners, Lost Highway, The Fly, RHPS, Tetsuo, Alien, Irreversible, Battle Royale, Harold and Maude, Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, Memento, More, Hellraiser, Meet the Feebles, 28 Days Later, Fear and Lothing in Las vegas..
