ecclectic tastes, but it all comes from the soul: rnb, hip-hop, rock, drumnbass, breaks, oldies, funky and groovy whatever baby just vibe with it.
Movies
princess bride (shut up it's a classic), fight club, lilo and stitch, donnie darko, a river runs through it, dead poets society, what the "bleep" do we know?, bill cosby himself (timeless comedy practically guaranteed to split your sides) and the sixth sense.. for now..
Television
Heroes, Robot Chicken, Futurama and MuchMusic, but really, REALLY?! as little as possible

*** and i collect comic books too, but my best are wolverine #1-18 and spawn #1-13
Heroes
ordinary people who believe in themselves and change the world one ripple at a time.
About me: it's more than just slam poetry or page poetry. it's about writing and art as mediums to get at something common. something we all feel or want to vent. it's all about relations. it's music and love and fear and pain. it's like a raindrop. and the world is a puddle. i'm just being me. MySpace Codes
Who I'd like to meet: artistic mofos and pro pranksters. anyone who wants to network towards common goals of art for the future's sake. a movement of constant conscious improvements and ventures to be respected. open minds respect events is the multimedia foundation for all my projects and i need help to manifest these indulgent dreams.... MySpace Layouts

C.A.L.M. Cannabis As Living Medicine would like to remind you about the Toronto Global Marijuana March May 5th @Queen's Park North
Toronto Global Marijuana March / Toronto Freedom Festival
Saturday May 5th 2007
Queen’s Park North
Toronto, ON
The Global Marijuana March (GMM) is a popular Toronto tradition and is Canada’s premier cannabis festival, celebrating cannabis culture in a peaceful, festive environment. It is also apart of an international phenomenon with almost 200 cities worldwide.
This year, the GMM is expecting an even larger crowd as it teams up with the Toronto Freedom Festival (TFF) as a flagship event. The TFF is taking the GMM event and growing it to address more freedoms that just that of the legalization of cannabis.
The featured event of the festival is the GMM parade, 420 celebrations, speakers “awareness” stage with Marc Emery (and others), live music, vendor village, cannabis week and more.
Stop by the C.A.L.M. booth and express yourself!
