About Me


I created this page as a way to creatively express myself through my art. I remember writing my first poem in Grade 6 and I have been writing ever since. I also enjoy painting. Painting is like playtime for me! I must admit I have been neglecting my creativity lately, but I plan on reintegrating it into my life again.

During the day, I work at a school with kids who have multiple challenges. Wow, do I ever love my job! Sure, I may get punched, kicked and bitten from time to time, but at least I feel like I am making some small difference, in the grand scheme of things.I am strongly interested in a variety of social issues. So, I will use this space to express myself politically and socially, as well.

Thanks for checking out my page, which will always be a work in progress!

My Interests

Writing, reading, painting,travelling, coffee and tea drinking, people watching, storm watching, going for walks, outdoor recreation, critical thinking, politics, social issues, music.

I'd like to meet:


I hope to meet creative individuals to share my art with. Hopefully, I will receive constructive feedback about my writing after posting various pieces. I am also happy to provide constructive feedback for other writers. I believe in encouraging others in their writing aspirations, rather than berating them about their creations. Sometimes we write crap and sometimes we write gems, I embrace both!

As for my paintings, I'm afraid that you are subject to my child-like finger paintings! Hee, hee... Yeah, sure some of them are ugly, but I'll still put them on my wall... I love meeting all sorts of artistic people, so if you are an artist, I would love to meet you.

I am also interested in meeting people who want to engage in political and social dialogue. Perhaps, such interaction will do the world some good.

Music:

I like all sorts of music, it really depends on my mood. I love a good set of lyrics, often that is what draws me into a song, though a good rhythm and beat doesn't hurt either. I appreciate songwriters who have a social and political conscience who integrate it into their music.

Movies:

I love watching movies! Once again, it depends on my mood, it could range from the childish to the serious and/or horrifying. A good documentary is also of interest to me.

Television:

I enjoy a couple shows...guilty pleasures! I will never admit which ones, hee, hee...

Books:

Right now, I'm really into fantasy novels.

Heroes:

I don't have any heroes, though I do respect many of those who stand against the currents. In other words, those who stand against oppression and maintaining the status quo.
