About Me

Just a regular open-mined person who still happens to be trapped in the 80's. I'm knowingly naive but I wouldn't want to be any other way. I want to always hope for the best in the world. Typically, you'll find me out on the roads running. Or if not there working on artwork beit shooting photos or a painting. I've got tattoos and take a great deal of pride in them. Also while I may be naive, I've got a bit of a rocker in me while at times acting a lot like an old man. Don't ever be surprised by something I'm doing because I take calculated risks and beat to the sound of my own drummer. I live life.

My Interests

Music, Running, Body Modification (Tattoos, Piercings, Scarification, etc), BMEZINE, Good People, Tranquility, Canadians, Movies, BBC America, CBGB's, Androgyny, Anything 80's, Art (abstract and pop are my big influences), Good Conversation, Dancing to Synthpop and New Wave, World & Inner Peace, Community, Coaching, Political Economy and Moral Philosophy

I'd like to meet:

Anybody who is interested in a positive life. I'm a people person so the more the merrier.(I like meeting new people and learning about new bands....however with all the random band requests...I must say I will not approve any random band that sends me an approval request. Now, if the band messages me first then it will be considered more. Otherwise, don't you think it is spamming?) (Let me say this again since reading it once doesn't do it....IF YOU ARE IN A BAND AND DO NOT SEND A MESSAGE BEFORE A FRIEND REQUEST YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE DENIED BEING ADDED.)
