six random facts; thanks for the support.

Journal Entry: Wed Aug 15, 2007, 9:58 PM
  • Mood: Hopeless
  • Listening to: Brian Eno / Metropole Orchestra - (An Ending)
  • Reading: Straight Talk - Stéphane Dion
  • Drinking: Strongbow
I'll start off by saying that I'm incredibly impressed with my new piece. You guys have responded wonderfully to it, and I thank you guys for your kind words and support!



Mr.:iconpandashekki: tagged me to do a write-up about six random things about myself. The rules are he first person starts with the topic “six weird facts about yourself” and people who get tagged must write in their journals about their six weird facts as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next six people to be tagged and list their names.

1. I picked up my first digital camera in 1998, it was a Kodak. It had a whopping ONE megapixel, and you can still see limited pieces of work still in my gallery shot with the camera.

2. I'm quite involved in politics. I'm a member of the Liberal Party of Canada, and do a lot of things around the party. Progressive thought; rational, realistic action. We are stronger together. It's how I roll.

3. I like drinking absynthe, and painting. Just like how Van Gogh used to do it, but I don't cut my ears off though. I always burn the finished creation, because I'm very drunk, and conclude that "destruction is the greatest form of creation".

4. As of today, I have 5370 songs in my music library, that's 15.7 days!

5. I'm a big beer drinker. Guinness, Kirin Ichiban, and Corona are just some of my favorite.

6. People like to whore at me for advice.

These people. I tag.

when there is nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire.
