I'm a recent grad of the jazz program at Cap College in North Vancouver, making me an "official musician". (Right...) I sing, play some piano, and write as much as I can; I'm also a newbie in the non-jazz scene (I don't know what to call the music I write), and am having some fun there. I'll listen to anything, especially any sound that inspires dance -- I guess it all comes down to quality and originality... And I've been diggin' the outdoors since always, and love snowsports and backcountry backpacking. I've been traveling a fair amount, considering I'm from a small town in Canada's USA-devotee province (Alberta), where thinking outside the box is generally discouraged. Red Deer's pretty, but people either get out as soon as possible, or never leave. (dunh dunh dunh!!) I hope to get back on the road soon to check out some more of Europe and the South Americas. I have a friend who sent her travel journal to me as she traveled through Nicaragua and Peru, and I'm dying to see it for myself!

My Interests

Shall I list? Music, travel, dance, hiking, all visual arts, cooking/drinking/talking with friends, cooking/drinking/talking with strangers, a great book of any genre, jamming, movie-watching.... The list goes on.

I'd like to meet:

People... Lots of 'em...

Music:

Anything and everything good, great, feel-good, and/or strange.

Movies:

These always depend on what headspace I'm in, but normally I go for the twisted and/or thought-provoking kind, or really well-made epics. "Glitter" is the epidome of what I don't enjoy; hidden gems that catch you by surprise as being really good are my favorite. But I wouldn't try to pass myself off as a movie buff; I don't watch a lot of films.... This is more because I don't have the technical means at home, though, than by choice.

Television:

Ahem... No TV at home.

Books:

Oh, where to begin... Most of the stuff I read, is by reccomendation or random selection, and has nothing to do with buying the latest work by said author, so reccommend away! I suppose a good book all depends on the person reading it, but a decent fallback way to pick a new book (that works for me) is by checking the Giller Prize winners. They're usually awesome. Some authors, though... JD Salinger, Paulo Coelho, Mordecai Richler, Tom Wolfe (despite the ego), Yann Martel... And I hate to say it because it might sound pretentious, but I love Shakespeare.

Heroes:

My friends - Smiley, Hotlinn, Bessame, Terra... My parents. My gran and her unparalleled strength. My almost-parents the Wilsons. My mentor MJ. Anyone who tries with everything they have.

My Blog

whoa.

This past week was possibly the most stuffed week I've ever had in my life. (Or at least one of them...) My dad was in town for the past week, and following that upward curve of the real e...

Nelson is Paradise!

Ah! Sooooooooo much fun. Just spent the last four days in Nelson with the most kick-ass group of people; we came to the collective conclusion that the no expectations is the way to go.&nbs...

new!

Oh, the horror stories I've heard about blogs... So I'll make my first one ever short and sweet. I'm on myspace! And I have no idea how to change how it looks, but I'm already spendi...
