About Me

I'm 6'1 inches tall, I have brown hair, hazle eyes or something close to brown.... Okay, somewhat of an interrogation here. Over the years I have become a little anti-social however on occasion I feel the need for spontaneous action and I take hold of it whenever I can.I will always be the bushman, no matter what.

My Interests

Music in general, not just listening to it but fucking ROCKING out on my guitar. Disposable Pop (I Play Lead Guitar), through the band's dedication and hard work I find a lot of inspiration for everything else in my life. I love writing, poetry, story. I'm always up for a good film, no matter what genre, whether it's Drama, Romance, Action, Documentary, Adventure, Horror, Comedy, Thriller, Classic... you get the point. Film is something I take a huge interest in actually. Courses at CATO in Kelowna start soon, I will become a film maker.Art, I love to paint, draw, sketch etc. Sculpture also captivates me. Pollock is a favorite of mine, as well as Gaudi and Dahlii.Gaming also takes up large portion of my time. I dig games like Rome: Total War, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Doom 3.Edgar Allen Poe - of a mind not in our plane of existance.Comic Books, I haven't really had a lot of interest in comics but recently I've been reading a lot of borrowed Punisher, Hulk, Wolverine, and Iron Man comics.There's more, however it is late and time to SLEEP!
