ABOUT ME

I am an aspiring actor (that sounds so typical) who is currently working at a bar (even worse). I have just moved to Toronto so the city is somewhat of a new experience for me as well.

As far as my personality is concerned, I am somebody who likes to discuss ideas, anything that really pops into conversation. I am pretty easy going and think that the best times are always spent talking in a pub.

PHILOSOPHY

Well, it sounds a little odd, but my philosophy goes like this:

Freedom is what I want. To be free is to be Just. To be Just means you do not have to justify anything you say, are or do to anybody else; because in all those things you are Justified.

It can get somewhat complicated, but it suits me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The four coldest years the Yukon had to offer in recorded history. It is amazing I didn't die as a child.
