About Me

i get bored easily and find it a good use of my time to change myspace instead of something tangeable. i, like you, have problems ... but i try not to dwell on them. i'll make my decisions and they're mine to live with - percieved good or bad. so long as i'm happy.
you could say i like music. you could say i love music. you might even be able to say that my heart is nestled somewhere in the culture of music. all answers would be correct.
i grew up in a small town in northern ontario and, i believe, that has had a lasting impression on what i do and think of this (much larger) city of toronto. you can take the girl out of the small town ... or rather, the girl can claw her way out of the small town, but she'll never rip the small town out of her. it's impossible.
i have many goals in life, one of which is finding some wonderful little band who's willing to let me take care of their shit for months on end out in the road. (i'm really good at it, i promise!) others are all within the same vein - concert production, management, tour planning, development ... even booking to a certain extent, but i don't get particularly excited about it.
there really isn't much else to know other than the fact that:
- i have a nice group of really amazing people i get to call my friends
- my family lives within visiting distance but we never see eachother more than once or twice a year
- and ... what you see is generally what you get - no games, no drama. it's not very becoming of a person.
be well,
a.
