About Me


mp3 player provided by myflashfetish.com .
i'm a loudmouth, i talk a and laugh a lot. i'm french canadian, québécois en fait, fier de l'être, proud of it. i wrote this piece in english cuz i find it easier to meet people throughout the world like this. you got a problem with multiculuralism? i just looove it! i speak both french and english perfectly, i speak a bit of spanish. i'd like to take some classe to brush up on my spanish and other classes to learn japanese.
i love my friends, they are so important to me, i can always count on them, and so can they on me. we love to go out for drinks, sometimes in classy places sometimes in the trashiest places also.
traveling is fun and does not happen often enough. i have learned english in vancouver, shopped in new york, backpacked from panama to costa rica, visited my old friend felipe in madrid, made out with a girl in sepulveda and fell in love with barcelona. i would like to go to japan, australia, france, germany, england, india, basically everywhere!
i live for music and video games. i play guitar and a bit of keyboards. i sing, but not so well. (you can hear some of what i've written playing right now) i used to be part of a band, and i would like to play with one again. i have dreams. i'm gonna write this great scenario for a novel/comic/movie one day. i'll be part of the creation of one of the most interesting video game ever. i read comics. i sometimes draw.
i bike to wherever i can to avoid public transportation. i snowboard whenever i can. if i could i'd skateboard again. i should kick my ass to start training again... i'd also like to learn how to wield a katana.
i live in this kickass place almost downtown montreal and i host bbq's often. i cook to eat and to impress. i looove chocolate chips cookies, but can't stand chocolate itself. i love poutine (the food, not the russian politician).
i'm a flash dev for an e-commerce company in montréal. i'm so happy, i have been hoping to work in that field for years (flash dev, not e-commerce). i'm mostly interested in designing novel and interactive interfaces.
i'm also a part time student at concordia university . i completed a minor in computational art and i am currently studying intermedia / cyberarts . this is my website which serves as my portfolio.
i still can't believe that my friend dave convinced me to get into this online friends thingy... do say hi! i love meeting people. i must warn you, i do bite, but most like it!
