About Me

Apparently I'm re-living an old love story... for more information copy and paste this link: http://www.burnabynow.com/issues07/035207/news/035207nn3.htm lWhat can I say? I don't like this 'about me' section. It's reductive and that probably already says something about me. Some random facts are I love my girl, I read fiction, I study sociology and I love cigars and vegetarian food. I have just completed my MA and am considering my next move.If you want to know anything else, drop me a line.Oh yes, I also like shopping malls, people who don't try to look or pretend to be 'real', expensive junk, Roman civilization and the Eiffel tower in Las Vegas. Theoretical interests include poststructuralism, antiracism, social movement theory and (post)anarchism...
