I am hilarious. I can sing, I can cook, I can fix anything with only a screwdriver. My dad can beat up your dad. I play the guitar and I'm a computer programmer for a living. I've got a BSc. degree from the U of A. I work for a famous local website and I have my own software company on the side.
My best friend killed himself in September, 2006. He was a great guy, but he always had an obsession with death. In high school we all worried about him a bit, but as time passed we began to think of it as normal. We were roommates, and one morning I found him hanging in the garage.
This is the tattoo I got in his honour. Its a quotation we found in one of his journals: "In death we will learn."
I've got a band called Exit Empire... we have a demo if you're interested: http://www.myspace.com/exitempire
Those are my guitars.
I like smart girls. Not just book smart, but smart in your own way.
"In medicine, patents cost lives. The US patent for Turmeric didn't stimulate research, and restricted access by the Indian poor who actually discovered it hundreds of years ago. 'These rights were intended to reduce access to generic medicines and they succeeded.' Billions of people, who live on $2-3 a day, could no longer afford the drugs they needed. Drug companies spend more on advertising and marketing than on research. A few scientists beat the human genome project and patented breast cancer genes; so now the cost of testing women for breast cancer is 'enormous.'"
-Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel prize-winning economist
