About Me

Okay... Right now, I'm just one guy. Perhaps I just don't work and play well with others. This is what happens when technology catches up with my ineptitude; the possibilities are endless. I have to give out some credit... Lee Worden for his endless support and Mike Swanson for the incredible digital artwork. Besides countless Lucasarts, Electronic Arts and Rockstar Games, Mike's work can also be seen here http://www.artwanted.com/artist.cfm?ArtID=19730I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

In Taiwan

Well, here I am in Tainan, Taiwan visiting my good friend, Tom McNamee. It's very hot (but it's a wet heat) and a very busy city. So far, my host has been extraordinarily gracious; he has a great, hug...

Airplay in Calgary

This is precisely why myspace rocks! With absolutely no effort on my part, X 92.9 in Calgary is playing one (that I know of) of my songs. My sister is an English teacher there and she was surprised th...

Taiwan bound!

I'm having a pretty good week.... I finally got my passport after months and months of waiting. Because I was born in Quebec, I had to renew my birth certificate (they've had lots of identity theft th...

Obnoxious Friend Requests!

I can't be the only one who receives these... "I see that you're into band x so you'll probably like band y." Don't get me wrong, I love anonymous friend requests. I get it. That's what myspace is for...

Gig requests and no band. Boo. Hoo.

Fate is indeed a fickle bitch. While I'm writing and recording consistently (even enjoying the outcome), I haven't been playing live at all. Why oh why is this time time that I get incredible gig offe...

Shayan Italia - a little unclear on the concept!

The epitomy of dichotomy

I am more than one person. I am more than the sum of my parts. I am waiting for my erhu to arrive. I am excited. I am bored. I am uninteresting. I am in love. I am not the man I thought I was. ...

Why only space for 4 songs?

I hate this. I have way too much friggin' material to post and not enough space to do it. Maybe I'll have to bite the bullet and actually get a REAL website going.

Going international with such appreciation!

You know this myspace thing is out of control. I hate emoticons, so I guess I will just have to use actual words to express myself. I've only been on myspace for like a month and I am overwhelmed with...
