About Me

Just another music fan in Toronto, but I love it. Playing, seeing and talking about live music are some of the best feelings I've even known. I'm an actor, into the arts, love to go for beers, have good conversations and laugh, laugh, laugh.

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

I love the arts; I studied theatre and enjoy going to all types of shows. Music is, however, my biggest passion.Movies and books are also passtimes of mine, as well as a fascination with yoga and the martial arts, though it has been a LONG time since I've done either.I like new things, which I have a bit of a lack of right now in life. I like old things which I had forgotten I was a fan of. I like the Transformers, and if you don't...well, you are missing out.History, politics and philosophy are all very interesting to me, though I am woefully under-read in all of the above. I'm politically opinionated and stubborn at times, which can lead to long-winded speeches and very one-sided discussions. I apologise in advance to those of you who know me.Hmmm, what else...I enjoy having a beer and watching hockey, having a drink and chatting and laughing with friends, going out for a nice dinner and splitting a bottle of wine. As Winston Churchill said, "I have taken more from liquor than it has taken from me."Finally, I'm interested in being amazed, so if you've got a good one, send it my way.I am interested in laughing as much as I can.

Blogging for the sake of the blog
