About me: Yeah, so here I am, a Canadian guy from Toronto but in Australia, chillin, learning the law, and doing various other things. Last degree in a string of three (I already have a Hons BA and an MSC) and then I out to go make some money again. Like I mentioned I hail from Toronto Canada, but though last 2 years I have been traveling all over the place and living in London UK and a brief stint in Barcelona for 3 months before coming to Australia. I have accomplished a fair bit in life so far.. its been a pretty cool adventure. I went to one of the Top schools in the UK for my Masters, I have worked in UK parliament for a British Minister, I have owned a few companies, raced cars, done a lot of crazy stuff (we can discuss this one on one if you are curious)and.. As you can see from my pics, I am somewhat unorthodox, considering my qualifications, and the letters after my name. I do have an inner geek as well, and love Sci-Fi, computers and other geek stuff.. LOL. its just not evident on the surface. I am politically center-left, with a strong belief in civil liberties.
I love to travel and have been to 26 countries so far, with a recent trip to SE Asia hitting 6 countries in 12 days.. yeah kinda nuts. AND it was an adventure..
Will post more when I experience another extreme bout of procrastination or boredom.
and if you facebook, you can find me there too.. ask for my user name there and if you do it the right way, I will send it over ;)
Oh yeah, I started a video collection at www.livevideo.com/willtopwr.. Go check it out..
There are also a few at www.youtube.com/willtopwr
Here is the latest vid I posted on Youtube.. its of a run with the Ninja on the highway.
Who I'd like to meet: Some Random People
Sandra Bullock, and Sorry Jesse, but it would be more than just a meeting. Jesse James to plan a custom bike to top all custom bikes! (and probably to sort out what I did with Sandra.. you lucky fuck) RL Burnside- One of the greatest blues singers around Sean Connery - True Bond Lots of criminals so I can defend them and build a client list Bill Clinton.. Cause he was one of the more sane US presidents in a long time! George Dubya Bush, cause.. well I want to tell him that he is a blithering idiot, and then sit him in a chair and give him a time-out while I dance around him and laugh. Casey Stoner Moto GP dude, to get some riding pointers Martin ScorseseTo get some filmmaking tips Eddie GreenspanSo he can show me the ropes and give me some serious legal hookups George SorosDude knows how to turn money into more money! Dalai Lama,So I can lose some of my tendencies to material attachment.. yes I am conflicted.. but then again who isnt? lol Robin Williams no wait, I did meet him.. totally cool guy!! Hurricane Rubin CarterIt was an honour to meet him too!! My Grade 8 teacher. Mrs BartlettShe was really cool, and I'd like to let her know what I accomplished in life. Friedrich Neitzsche if there is an afterlife.. that would be totally cool! A really cool girl, who has a good sense of humour, and a good head on her shoulders, intelligent, and educated (those 2 terms are definitely not synonymous!!), unpretentious but likes the finer things in life, confident, curvy, adventurous and a bit wild.
Oh there are so many more people!
