My Self-Summary
To poorly appropriate the words of someone I admire, I think of
myself as a sensitive and intelligent person with the soul of a
clown that causes me to mess things up at the most important
moments.
What I’m doing with my life
I have a law degree... Currently working as a quasi-labour and
human rights lawyer.
I play lots of guitar and sing like I have more soul than I
actually do...
I’m really good at
...talking and listening... pretending to have a clue. legal
research. making bad music. acting childish whenever I can escape
the more "professional" contexts I find myself in day to day.
The first things people usually notice about me
How delicate my handshake is.

The six things I could never do without
1) Curiosity
2) My guitars
3) Books
4) Red wine...
5) My laptop...
6) A sober understanding of the ruthlessness of social and economic
hierarchies.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
metaphors involving rolling stones. how devoting your life to money
makes you feel incredibly cheap. how a decade of transience can
inhibit you're ability to embrace anything resembling permanence.
whether the LCBO is truly out of stock of the best cheap vintage
wine from 2004.
On a typical Friday night I am
Imbibing the spoils of human ingenuity with fermented grapes and
grains...
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I periodically have obsessions with Jim Morrison. I used to be a
driver's ed instructor. My students never failed parallel parking.
You should message me if
You're a sweet and kind hearted misanthrope + you consistently feel
let down by the lesser intelligence of anyone you've ever been fond
of (i'm an idiot who really enjoys the company of an intimidating
intellect).
