I'd rather just meet someone in person over coffee/drinks/bike ride/etc than give some sort of online summary-sales pitch (but if you're good at that, go right ahead), but just as I did when I clicked the link and signed up for this site, I'll humor the ridiculousness of it all...

I live for music (I play drums and the Berimbau), video games, books, and just about any kind of physical activity; Capoeira, rollerblading, hiking, and especially cycling. Driving is quicker, but few things are more satisfying than arriving to work pepped up and happy and then being rewarded with a cool ride home in the night where all you hear is the sound of your tires...and the occasional moron who drives by and yells something he knows I can't understand.

I'm as laid back as I am passionate about what I'm into, and although I'm a pretty nice guy, I'm not hesitant to have a little fun badgering the witless whenever they step out of line and start acting like dicks.

-Final year, Humber College Journalism (print) Diploma:
I'm going to see how much farther a diploma and an internship will take me into the game journalism industry. If I don't have anything coming up work-wise and nothing's really tying me down, I'm contemplating getting in touch with some contacts and looking into doing some journalism for local papers up north in Nunavut.

-Working at EB Games:
It's not the most difficult job I've ever had, or the most enjoyable, but I go above and beyond what's expected of me, and I have fun messing with stupid customers. Hmmm, I guess it's not so bad.

-Freelance writing:
I haven't received a single damn penny for it yet, but I do a lot of game related writing on the side. Some of it has made it's way to other publications, but most can be found on my website (killscreen.ca) and my blog (blogs.ign.com/Lupus64). On my main website, my fellow writers and I put up features, reviews, a bit of news, and a bunch of ridiculous gaming podcasts where we usually end up making Shaq and Bill Cosby jokes.

Quite a few things, here are some samples:

-Memorizing useless facts
-Making conversation
-Forgetting things when I don't intend to
-Making a note, so I don't keep forgetting things
-Video games
-Listening to people's problems, provided they're willing to do something about it
-Writing (when I bother to proofread, it does wonders)

I suppose I should allude to some raunchy/sexual things I'm good at too, but I won't because as of right now, while you're simply reading my profile, it's not your business :P

I'm not sure, and I don't care to take the effort to find out.

People have told me I'm attractive, funny, weird, extremely patient, far too understanding, pessimistic, impatient, wise, a nice guy, and a real jackass, among other things; I suppose they are all fair judgments.

Movies:
300, Baraka, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Gladiator, District 9, Fight Club (book was way better, but the movie's still great)

Books:
This is where I name off a bunch of stuff to show you how well read I am, but I think it's enough to say that reading is my first love, and that I'll read any good book people put in front of me. Really, I won't stop for much until the entire book is finished and full of creases on the spine from being open non-stop.

I keep having dreams where I have telekinesis, which is way more fun than the ones I used to have where I could fly.

I space out a lot.

I occasionally mix up words when I speak, which has some funny results. Then again, if I was fantastic at speaking I wouldn't be getting into a career as a writer now, would I? [edit: Who am I kidding, of course I would.]

Really? I have to write out a list of possible reasons why one person would message someone else? I'm going to take the customer service approach and give a stupid request a stupid answer:

You should message me if
-you can appreciate 'immature' humor, and enjoy bad jokes.
-you occasionally are revolted at the integrity of mainstream journalists
-you hate celebrity news.
-you've combined pickles and peanut butter and found that yes, it really is "pretty fuckin' good."
-you are irritated by the vehemently religious.
-you are not attention starved, emotionally unstable, unemployed/lazy.
-you've noticed that I haven't capitalized the 'y' on any of these things I'm passing off as sentences at the moment.
