I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm smart, honest, compassionate, creative, and bold... if you don't like it, then I don't care!! I am originally from Ontario, Canada, but I love to travel, and am always moving around. Last year I was spent a total of six months in Mexico (about an hour away from the beach where I took the background picture... nice isn't it?). I am always planning trips around the world, and love to have a traveling buddies!! Want to come?? Ha ha!! I want to go backpacking accross Canada this summer, and then all over the world including India, Egypt, and Burma (or what ever it is now called) at some point!! I teach English, as well as do environmental promotions, so I can go almost anywhere in the world comfortably. Thats exciting to me.Aside from travel, I love my first career, self-employed as a marketing executive alongside HOME Alternatives. I love that I can do my job how I want and have a lot of freedom to balance my life.My neice and nephew mean everything in the world to me, and if I had to, I would stay home for them in a second. My family are my only current true loves right now.
I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

-Friends from around the world.-People who are passionate about something.

Music:

My newest favorite musical talent is Lila Downs, she's a fabulous Latin singer!! Also I've recently found Matt Costa... Jacky J fans... seriously check him out!! Find him in my friends list!! JJ fans, also check out Dalia... she's a independant singer that you can also find in my friends list!! Other than that, I'm all over the place for a favorite type of music. I like it all from Sinatra to Sublime, and from show tunes to hard rock. My favorite bands include Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Sublime, Bob Marley, Black Eyed Peas, System of a Down, Lila Downs, and just about anything with a hand drum. I love world music... especially anything tribal. Also in that list (off the top of my head) include Nirvana, Ray Charles, Queen, Guns n Roses, Beetles, Doors, Bob Dylan, Better than Erza, Beck, Ozzy Ozbourne, Frank Sinatra, Portishead, Billie Holiday, Cesaria Evora, Eric Clapton, Janis Joplin, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd (although I thought I would never say it), Merril Bainbridge, Nelly Fertado, Jimmy Cliff, Fugees, Otis Redding (I know... dorky), Poe, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Holly McNarland, Garbage, Ben E King, Everclear, AC/DC, Fiona Apple, Lauren Hill, Coheed and Cambria, Finch, Dredge, Jomama, GrandPoohBa and lots of other funk, Veruca Salt, No Doubt, The Cranberries, The Cardigans, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Incubus, G. Love, uhhhh.... many others, but I can't think of any more right now!! I have recently rediscovered Pearl Jam!! I forgot that they rock!!

I could go forever!!!

Television:

I don't watch much TV, but when I do it's.... That 70's Show, Oprah, Family Guy, Futurama, One Tree Hill, and the news (but rarely, because it's depressing). There are a few others...

Books:

I am currently in love with Dan Brown's works of ART!! Read "Angels and Demons" and "The Da Vinci Code"!! I'm also a fan of David Pelzer's three book series begginig with "A Child Called It"!! There are lots of great authors I enjoy... feel free to bring it up in conversation!! I like books that teach me something, and regularly read business building and investing books. I like to read about development and psychology.
