| Introduction | I was a northern smalltown boy. Then I grew up, came out, and got out.
I arrived in Toronto at 17 in search of success, love, dancing, and sex. I did a year of college. In the decade since, I've meandered through various jobs: produce dept, call centre, landscaper... After being fired from my soul-destroying management position at *bucks, I fell into my current job managing a chi-chi furniture store. It pays the bills and gives structure to my days, all I really require of it. My soul satisfaction comes from my true joy, djing. I have a residency at a packed queer monthly and occasionally pick up other gigs. I recently broke up with my partner of 6 years. After the split, I moved downtown with my best friend of 15 years to begin anew. Life is sweet. A great family, amazing friends. It could certainly be worse. It's a brutal, beautiful adventure; I try to embrace every moment. It's funny the way things go. My present roommate was also my first rommate 10 years ago. I'm in the midst of the longest period of singledom I've enjoyed in over 8 years. And though I've found them repeatedly, I'm still searching for sex, dancing, love, and success... enjoy the transmissions. |

What spells can you cast with magic markers?
Depends on how long I've left the cap off.
