About Me

..
This is where I carried Jesus.
Currenlty living in Winnipeg, after being away for three years in Ottawa. Ottawa was a great place to live and I will miss it a great deal, but I still love Winnipeg and am looking forward to good times here, despite the lack of good concerts and the over-abundance of City Councellors.If you are into road trips, mix cds, talking about pop culture and current events, making jokes about everything from the silly to the incredibly offensive, going out dancing, or spending too much money on DVD's, you would probably like me.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interesting, anyone at all. If you are a quiet and boring person, then no thanks. If you are loud and crude and funny, I will probably like you.

Toronto Update...

I've been in Toronto for four days now. The trip sort of sprung on me through work, so I didn't have a lot of time to prepare for being here, but most of you know that I fucking love Toronto so it was...

In Toronto For 2-3 Weeks...

My workplace is funny. Things can sometimes take a long time to happen, like when I moved to Ottawa in 2003 and knew about it over a year in advance. Other times they can happen quickly, like when I w...

NYC Thus Far...

Highlights from my trip so far... - The Devils game was pretty fun. I had a hard time choosing who to root for because I hated both teams playing (Toronto and New Jersey). The arena was probably half ...
