About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hey everyone,

What can I say, I am a friendly guy. Grew up in the city and moved to the country around 9. Lived on an organic farm, learned about nature and forests. The true path to the universe is through the forest wilderness!

Soft, quiet, stern, secure, confident, happy, philosophical, interested in deep conversations. Not into boring mundane topics such as how awful someones problems are. Only interested in how they can be fixed and what progress is being made. Always moving forward, learning from the past and reflecting on the future to come. Into happy, sarcastic, musicians and people with mystery.

If you are bogged down by to many things in life you are probably complaining about your situation and the easiest thing to do is "light"en up and slow down, relax a little and breathe.

I keep myself as easy going, non busy as possible. I see no need in acquiring hoards or riches for myself. The way I see it if I need it Will come, and always does no matter what.

PHILOSOPHY

Like Fatboy Slim said "Right here, right now" indicating the present moment. Awareness and Understanding.
The Time Is Now: a line I like to repeat to myself.
Always focused on relaxing and re-juvenation and happiness!

Interests

LOVE to play music. Into all sorts of styles, lately funk, fusion jazz with drum, bass and keys/synths.

LOVE hikes and trails, adventures of any sort. Athletic activities, swimming, beach, disc golf, soccer. Campfires, tenting, canoeing, climbing ect. ect.

.,-'`~ I am planning on travelling in a month or so from Ontario, where I live, through the US, Detroit to Washington then into Bc Canada and Back through Alberta home!~'`-,.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lately I have been having these 3-4 hour jams at night with different folks and near the end of it we start singing and praising it's really great. Usually the best funk licks or sounds are resonating, being produced...just absolutely bountiful and plenty-ful, I would say that leaves me awestruck, especially till the next morning.

Once upon a time I was driving up a road and there was a van and a truck in front of me. I was in the right lane so I went to the left lane to pass the two vehicles. It was last winter and the snowy slushy road was certainly not frictions best friend. There was a slight incline on this road and I started to push 80km passing these two. All the sudden I knew something wasn't right. My front two tires lost control and grabbed at the curb to the left. I spun around in the same lane until I was facing backwards. The GREAT thing is when I spun my back end was in the middle of the two vehicles and they did not hit me at all. Talk about amazing!
