I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Don't worry what I mean by "skaboder": it's just the way I pronounce "skateboarder", close to (though not exactly) Boston style.
I'm so thin-skinned that I always feel like I don't have my place in this world! Insults from other places make me desire to stay in my native Maritime provinces (New Brunswick-Nova Scotia-Prince Edward Island), where everyone respects me, my entire life and never ever cross the U.S. border.
I skateboard in overalls because I found out it's the ONLY way I'm comfortable enough to skate! Because of the shape of my lower body, a belt crushes my hip muscles and makes me unable to even walk, let alone skate. But as I only started skateboarding at age 27 and I was so weak during my school years that I had to be exempted from gym/PE courses in high school (I also hated sports back then), and I can't ollie, my leg muscles being too weak, though I've improved since my local skatepark opened in late 2006. But I still like to just ride my board around. I'm ashamed not only that overalls went out of style in 2000 but also that I've never seen anyone but myself skateboard in overalls, as I hate being the only one who does it.
I'm the one who's been called "Skautism" by Slap magazine. I have Asperger's syndrome, a lighter variant of autism, which makes it extremely hard for me to socialize, but I ended up more friendly though extremely shy from 1998 on, and more sociable following my discovery of skateboarding in early 2004.
I'm also a classical composer; my music can be heard on my main site: www3.nbnet.nb.ca/m2esectr/
I like to collect and listen to music on old analog formats: 33 and 45rpm vinyl, cassettes, 8-tracks, reel-to-reel, and 78rpm shellac; also VHS and Betamax for video. Growing up in the 80's has made me strongly attached for life to the vinyl and cassette formats. I'm so inclined towards vinyl that I destroyed my iPod out of anger and am never getting another iPod again!
My favorite computer of all time is the Commodore 64. I tend to be more encouraged to work on one of those than on a PC!
I also have a Facebook page (as Marco Melanson) with a music page that'll be used to promote my music. However, my blog and most of my activity will stay here on Myspace.
