About Me

I'm from Southwestern British Columbia; I have a soft spot for the Canucks and rain -- and a weakness for coffee.

Most of our life is a series of images. They pass us by like towns on the highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens. And we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever

My Interests

Things I'd Like To Do Before I Die:

- Hike the Columbian Ice Fields
- Travel to The Amazon
- Go Bungee Jumping
- Learn a 3rd Language
- Bicycle Through Amsterdam
- Vacation on the Maldives (even for a day or two)
- See the Demise of Major Multi-Billion Dollar Oil Companies
- Find a Solution for Hunger in Third World Countries

Bertuzzi is a noun... you cannot, by any means whatsoever turn a noun into a verb ie: "oh shit, he just Bertuzzied him"

...is Todd Bertuzzi secretly a punkrocker?

Look at that face! How could you not love him?

I'd like to meet:

Snazzy folk such as yourself, simply because you took the time to read this,
and the following people:
Kalle Lasn
Justin Trudeau
Angelina Jolie
Todd Bertuzzi
George Stromboulopoulos
Al Gore
Dallas Green

your mom.

oh, and Daria Morgendorffer
