About Me


I've been on MySpace since
March 10, 2003.

Facebook can suck it.
"What we need are more people who specialize in the impossible." -- Theodore Roethke
I'm not Doctor or Professor Jones, nor have I met nor do I know him. I get that a lot though. That guy must be coppin' my style.
I'm a filmmaker (Super 8 & 16mm, not that cheesey video stuff). I can draw a little.
"If I can make just one person laugh, well... then I'm doing better than Tony Danza!"-Emo Phillips.
"Note to self: If I find my beautiful consort with access to my fortress has been associating with the hero, I'll have her executed. It's regrettable, but new consorts are easier to get than new fortresses and maybe the next one will pay attention at the orientation meeting."
If you really wanna know more about me, ask me for the link to my personal website. The site tells more than enough.
..
I'm not selling anything, but if you persist in asking, mouse-over the above picture.
Oh, and I'm not a card collector.
If you're my MySpace friend, it's because I like you,
not because I'm trying to collect the whole set, awright?

If you're advertising to me,
do not ask to be added.
NO BANDS, NO PROJECTS.
I make friends with people, not products.

My Blog

Foreign Exchange

I ask the bank teller for $160 American in cash. She replies after a moment of checking her screen, "Okay, with the service charge, that'll be $158." (Canadian) "HAHAHAHA! , I laughed, "THAT'S AWESEOM...

Rockin’ Good News!

So I ducked out of work in Ms. Jen's car (she'd swiped her brother's as he's away in Winterpeg as of 7am today; so I got her wheels for the day) to head down to the passport office. I got a parking s...

I've made a few of my last blogs accessible to anyone who cares to read 'em.  Nothing secret or overly personal in those ones.

$80 worth of pure joy.

Ms. Jen's idiot dog (there's another in the house that's not such an idiot) keeps peeing on top of the kitchen table and what ever happens to be on the table, so I bought an 'invisible fence'.&nb...

Upgrade! ...and chicken!

Yeah, now we're not staying at that dingy dive hostel, but a real and fairly decent hotel (with a fridge and such) very nearish the Boulevard.  It's also just as nearish to Sunset Boulevard,...

Three Days in the Desert

Friday night nothing seemed to go right, we arrived late and it was too dark to pack gear into a canyon, so we stayed at a VERY old hotel - that was kind of cool.  We got up stupid early and deep...

Two things, maybe more...

1. I got my cool new 'steampunk' goggles in the mail today.  In actually, they're 80-90 year old saftey and/or motorcycle googles that usually go for about $60-150 a pair on the Epay.  ...
