�
Information: I'm not sure what I should say, how I should pack it in?� I love guitar more than I love almost anything in the entire world; however I also thing existence is unbearably light and meaningless so go figure.� I love existential philosophy, I read selections from S�ren Kierkegaard, Franz Kafka, Jean-Paul Sartre, Friedrich Nietzsche, Milan Kundera, Martin Heidegger, and many more.� I also love reading almost anything Sociology, and�Feminist writings.� I�am�left of the centre, but don't judge me for it.� I love to be an obsessive compulsive weirdo�like I am, I love to do drugs, I indulge in�certain ones freely and I think I'm very drug aware and drug conscious of the things I take (because there is a life outside the simple box of "drugs are bad", you know), and I have a fuckin' ridiculously big beer label tattoo on my right bicep because�I'm THAT FUCKING SPECIAL.��My fucking other band members, minus our bassist, love drugs too, and if they want to even THINK about denying it, trust me friends, I as your axe wielding nut, is telling the truth.� Some Sally D, eh Aidan and Jared?�Yeah, that's right.� For fun in�my spare time I will do anything that comes up, but whether it excites me or not or is something I love to do is a different story, but I try to make the best of everything.� I�work as a Longshoreman, it's the best fuckin' job in the world, and if you ever tell me otherwise I will call you ignorant, even though that sounds ignorant in itself doesn't it?� I have more respect for the ILWU Local 500 than about anything I can think of.� I think that we as humans are all hypocrites, and that this world, and its ignorance, is so disgustingly blissful that I can't even fathom it half the time, yet I do, just as we all do, and live my life as fucked up as I can.� Yes, I hate the American government, am a fan of Michael Moore, and many other leftist things, but don't assume that I'm just some bandwagon fuckin socialist bandwagon jumper, that's as annoying as ignorant white people.� Another thing that is annoying�as well is the huge amount of Canadians who find it so easy to bash Bush and his government but don't recognize Canada as being not�very amazing either.��Look no further than our�Federal Conservative Party and�Party Leader, Stephen Harper, in comparison.� You�people�as Canadians want to make a difference?� Make sure that FUCK�DOES NOT�BECOME THE PM OF OUR COUNTRY! You think he's much better than�our neighbours south of the boarder?� Hell,�people seem to be under this false notion in the first place that Canada is so 'multicultural, and superior' in every way...uh hi there, where did you get this idealism from?��In some ways we are just as fucking pathetic.�
