Making noise and occasionally making music with my lovely set of guitars of all shapes and sizes... and a bunch of other boring stuff! Oh yeah I also have this College Diploma in Information Technology saying I'm an Internet Technologist. So I guess you could say I'm a jack of all trades concerning the internet: Web design, networking, database, and a lil bit of the programing languages all that fun stuff. Being Canadian of course hockey is in my blood, I'd even go as far as to say I'd probably be pro today if my parents would have picked up on all the goalie hints I kept dropping on them!
..
Music
Radiohead, Nirvana, Tragically Hip, the Ramones, the Pixies, the Strokes, Pink Floyd, Weezer, the Barstool Prophets, Green Day, Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Blur, Metallica, the Sex Pistols, the Clash, Beck, 311, the Flaming Lips. I've just recently jumped on the Metric band wagon... Just something strange about their music that's inspiring, dunno what it is but it motivates me to pick up my guitar and tinker!
Basically anything but country, rap, hip hop, r & b, celtic, um... polka and dance. So I guess that just leaves rock music! I like any kinda rock music that the artist puts alot of work into, none of that shit like simple plan or all these "bubble gum pop punk" bands. That kinda music is just too "play it safe" for me. I'm giddy with excitement for the impending release of the next Radiohead album, now that's a band that takes risks and isn't afraid to really push the envelope. To all those people who pull up there nose to a band like that I say Open your fuckin ears!
Did I mention I was in a band? Yeah it was cool while it lasted, but it kinda left me wanting more. When I say more I mean more then just a cover band! I learned alot from those guys but I still have that itch to write and perform something original! Dare to dream eh?..
Movies
Don't laugh but Ghostbusters is probably my number 1 movie of all time!
Anything Marvel except for that punisher and daredevil shit, and yes I thought the hulk movie was well done!
Batman Begins sure as hell raised the bar though, that's how you do a frigging comic book to movie transition, none of that batman forever shit!
If Trey Park and Matt Stone can make my parents laugh at Team America: World Police they must have been doing something right!..
Television
Reality tv is shit get rid of it and maybe I'll watch more tv! I thought I was in heaven a few years ago when I found EdgeTV on the satelite! Imagine that a tv station that plays music videos! I wet myself when I could turn the channel to EdgeTv and see a Radiohead video! No retarded VJ's or stupid shows about paris hilton shitting on everything she touches, just awesome videos one after the other all day long! Sadly that concept is gone now... I wish it could make a comeback and for good! Then I could get rid of MuchMusic and Mtv.....
Books
Never been a big fan of reading (you can thank the internet for that)... I've only ever done it if it was required of me!..
Heroes
My Heroes are the ones who've stood by me no matter what. You know who you are!..
Ok so you wanna know a lil about me huh? Well I guess I could start with the fact that I'm a recent graduate at Fanshawe College. Going on seven years with Amanda now (I know I said "Holy Crap" too when I was told). I was part of a band called Gas Pedal. You may or may not have caught us at the occasional house party or open mike night at a bar here in London. Ok that's it for the "About Me" section... Next!
....

..
Who I'd like to meet:
Um... I'm not sure how specific I have to be so lets say other people? I've noticed there's alot of cool indie bands out there using myspace to get their sound out there and I think that's awesome! I'll gladly support any band out there!
I have to say, meeting Scott Thompson was pretty cool, and of course that wouldn't have been possible without Grant! There is one other person that I've met years ago .. who I'd like to meet face to face. She may have caused a few sleepless nights and we may not have been on the same page in the end, but she left an unforgettable impression that I can't seem to shake. I've always been a believer in doing what's right, but losing touch with her has to be the single greatest regret I could ever have experienced. All that's left is the overwhelming urge to correct that mistake!..
Hey Christopher!!! what's up?? hope you're doing great!!!!! It's been a while so I thought I'd stop by!! The holiday season is now over!! Hope you're satisfied about how it turned out….Did you do have the chance to celebrate??
