I like to think i am someone who is highly creative when i can find inspiration. I seem to always be thinking about concepts for music production, poetry or visual art ideas before I officially dive in and create. I also seem to have this need to help individuals/people in some way. Whether it being through volunteering or paying closer attention to friends and family that need a friendly ear to simply rummage through their daily lives. I am a pretty sensitive person which i now know (due to the self awareness i have gained through my own self discoveries and hard work) it can be used as a constant struggle or pure bliss. This explains a lot about my passions with art, film and music..i'm always wanting to learn about these forms and wanting to hear what other peoples opinions and thoughts on these mediums. Of course I can sometimes be overwhelmed by stimulation that I feel is not under my control, whether it be noises from cars, the brightness of sunlight, to the change in weather. But I am happy to say that I have come along way from where i was before and will always try to push my boundaries to explore more of what life has to offer :) I might as well say that I do have an anxiety disorder which will unfortunately turn off some people who are ignorant on this diagnosis, but its just something that I will always have to get better at dealing with. What I’m doing with my life: Currently i am volunteering as an art assistant at a place that works with folks with various forms of disabilities (abilities). We do visual art projects, and also use different forms of language, sound and music to for communication/self expression. I was going in there originally thinking "I hope I can be a good worker and teach them something" but in the end its the folks their that have been teaching me most of the time...its been an amazing journey being there. I am also working at a clubhouse with a worker to find employment as i continue to gain more knowledge and self confidence in this area which in the end, keeps me pretty busy. Before this I was a full time Peer Support worker which helped run healing groups, theatre groups and visiting troubled youth housing units. I have also been going to Neurofeedback which is an alternate form of therapy that lets you be the one in control of your own moods and brain waves (which in my case is to ) lower my anxiety levels. Its been going really great so far. :) And as said before I am an artist that attended OCAD awhile back and have a website where i post all the different forms of art I do. Check it out if you ever have a chance. I find its another way to show you who i am and maybe it will encourage you to msg me and hopefully have some interesting conversations. As for what happen from there...yes yes..only time will tell....its freakin true though! I’m really good at: being genuine, have deep rooted conversations, listening, being creative, talking music, film. Some of my fav films: Punch Drunk Love, Fargo, The Elephant Man, Lost in Translation. Fav Shows: Breaking Bad, Lost, Rectify, Louie, Better Call Sal, The Office etc. Music (this could go on forever). But some artists/Groups: Radiohead, Four Tet, Burial, Aphex Twins, Lykke Li, Christine and the Queens, Rival Consoles, Andy Stott, Beach House, My Bloody Valentine etc. The six things I could never do without Computer, Guitar, Ink Pen, Ipod Classic, Sketch Book. I spend a lot of time thinking: Why are we here? Where is my love? When am I finally going to get a new dog? What new connections will i make this year? On a typical Friday night----------- Watching a film, Having a drink, Laughing with friends in a group or one to one. Doing something art related, Doing something music related Watching or attending a sporting event (Raptors, Blue Jays, mainly) You should message me: If anything here speaks to you at all. Love to hear from ya :) If you like the thought of slowly connecting/ getting to know one another and going from there. I like the thought of meeting someone who you end up being great friends then love starts to sink in. Take Care.
