About Me

CURRENT MISSION

One dollar away from taking over the world

ABOUT ME

~ AWAY FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER... SORRY, NO CSing ~
Good luck!

PHILOSOPHY

hahaha, how do I live my life? Well, guess I don't consider that very often anymore. Must admit I'm a bit myopic about my work at the moment, otherwise I'd say: life is a great giving away. i.e., here to share! And being responsible for the each other and all beings on this beautiful planet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love Endgame by Derrick Jensen.
Currently reading the Last Great Sea by Terry Glavin, and Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson. i.e., like natural history and science fiction.

Movies: not many people've seen Persepolis. That ones good

Fav Canadiana would be The Besnerd Lakes! I'm enjoying folk-rock like Sun Kil Moon, Jose Gonzalez. Fav alternative is a toss between Jane's Addiction and Primus. Fav metal is Tool! Fav classic rock would have to be Crosby Stills Nash & Young.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many lives lived that I could croke tomorrow and I wouldn't be too disappointed.

Recently, I really loved being on a seabird island in the Canadian high arctic, hanging out all day long in the midnight sun with huge abundances of arctic wildlife.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not many skills, must admit. Kind of a more heady person doing pretty mundane things.
