CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to either become an oil magnate or to breed sea lions.

ABOUT ME

Je suis quelqu'un de gentil. Du moins, j'essaie de l'être! Je me promène dans la vie comme dans un champs de blé. Je veux découvrir plein de trucs, plein de bons films et de bonnes musiques, manger plein de bonnes bouffes, rencontrer plein de gens intéressants...bref, vivre chaque moment tel une petite fourmi qui croit à chaque instant qu'elle va se faire piétiner par un pieds géant! WA!

I am a nice person. At least, I try hard to be (really!). I walk through life like thru a field of wheat...not exactly knowing what I want to do...I know iv'e got a kind of passion at making movies so I guess it could right up that alley.

I enjoy meeting new people, discovering new cultures, exchanging weird and funny ideas with others, smoking and drinking beer at night on the street. I try to build a better Gabriel Lamarche each day that I live on this earth. Awww so much cheezy..sorry about that!

PHILOSOPHY

Id' like to live my life like a candle in the wind. Or maybe not.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn the guitar this summer since I already play the piano. I would love to teach piano to someone else, even though I can't read sheets music myself. :P

Oh, and maybe learn a new language during the next year. Spanish, German or maybe Italian.
