Shayn Peitsch�s Bio
Date of Birth: Feb 11, 1985
Place of Birth: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Sign: Aquarius
Eye Color: Brown
Height: Pretty much a perfect 6 feet.
Convenient, to say the least.
Hobbies: Writing, working on my website, having
a blast with my friends, making music, and of course,
social activism. What�s the point of revolution,
work, and art if it isn�t fun?
School Status: Currently finishing high school,
going on to University next year. Majoring in English
and Philosophy, minoring in political science and
International Developments. Currently taking self-
courses in Environmental and Economic Interdependence
and Sustainability; Anarcho-Syndicalism 201 (year two
course), and Participatory Economics. Nerdcore,
baby.
Previous Jobs: Worked on my parents organic
dairy farm when I was younger, until I was fifteen.
Then I worked in a local farmers greenhouse for one
summer. Next job was as a trucker�s assistant (read:
I hauled around boxes of beer all summer). When I got
tired of that, I got a job as a bartender. That was
cool, but my bar closed for the summer (it was in our
winter sports complex). So, I went back to the
delivery work for two excruciating months (just
kidding- by then, I was strong as an ox. Wait, kidding
again.), and since then I�ve been a full time
student.
Favorite Food: The tomato. So much you can do
with that little fruit. Otherwise, Mexican, granola
head style (granola, rice, water, natural fruit
juices, fruit and vegetables) and Italian.
Favorite Drink: Southern Comfort, or something
as equally as strong.
Favorite Sport: Hockey football, soccer, and
BMX biking.
Favorite Color: Green, red, yellow, white,
black, and blue. The colors of mother earth.
Favorite Films: The Lord of the Rings, Fight
Club, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Usual
Suspects, Goodfellas, Clerks, Requiem for a Dream, and
Pi. There�s others, but that�s the usual ones that
are in my top ten.

What do I Believe in Most Strongly?:
"This country, with its institutions, belongs to
the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow
weary of the existing government, they can exercise
their constitutional right of amending it, or their
revolutionary right to dismember it or overthrow
it."
-Abraham Lincoln
First Inaugural Address
March 4, 1861
"Without fun, art, work and revolution mean
nothing."
-Me, philosophizing with friends.
That says it all.
Describe an Experience You'll Never Forget:
Life
Favorite Quote:
"Benedicto: May
your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous,
leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains
rise into and above the clouds. May your rivers flow
without end, meandering through pastoral valleys
tinkling with bells, past temples and castles and
poets' towers into a dark primeval forest where tigers
belch and monkeys howl, through miasmal and mysterious
swamps and down into a desert of red rock, blue mesas,
domes and pinnacles and grottos of endless stone, and
down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm
where bars of sunlight blaze on profiled cliffs, where
deer walk across the white sand beaches, where storms
come and go as lightning clangs upon the high crags,
where something strange and more beautiful and more
full of wonder than your deepest dreams waits for you
--- beyond that next turning of the canyon
walls."
Edward Abbey
