About Me

28 year old jack of many trades.
I have been outwest for 4 years now, I was transplanted here from Hamilton Ontario. I used to work in radio but radio people are weirder than me so I got out of it.
I have a weird split in me. The line is drawn between being an artist and very physical labour. So I decided to get into the film buisness. I worked as a grip (union and non) on features, MOW's, music video's and commercials. I also run my own company "Mild Concussion Films". I edit video, all sorts. In more recent news I have landed a union goon job with the city. Benefits, pensions, my stock has gone way up. It is a weird change from being a shlup.
In my time working up north in the bush I have planted my 1/4 millionth tree. Planting tree's changes you. It teaches you to stay grounded, to survive and thrive when the odds are stacked against you. It makes you chreish the little things, like a dry pair of socks that will cover your rotten soggy feet after 10 hours of touching your toes on the side of a mountain during a SH*T storm. You learn to get along with people from all walks of life. I shot a 90 minute documentary about planting-Threshold, its rad.
My pet is a 7 foot Boa named Pandora. She is a wonderful pet.
I have tattoo's its true, lots of them and a weird beard too!
I really dig going to the gym, the terms "ripped and buff"-not so much, I prefer strong and powerful!
When the apocolypse erupts I may very well be the last man standing-so keep that in mind.

Crunch

Damn. I hate it when the universe reminds you that you are not bullet proof. Man it sucks. So this is my tale of woe. I was beaten up by a 5 inch step. So I was strolling into Silo Living (a furniture...

Lineage.When you are young and foolish and someone tells you that you will grow up to be your parents you scoff and say that will never happen. Until the day it does. In my case it skipped a generatio...

Bad Poetry

Often when you work a mundane job your mind wonders and it searches for things to think about o distract you from the labour itself. When I planted tree's I was capable of becoming a zombie-total dist...

Somthing is indeed messed with our water supply. Murky is a good word. I decided that since I am human built like the mighty adaptable cockroach that I would drink it without boiling it. I think that...
