I'm striving for balance and attempting to strike a pose achieving it. Driven by my goals and priorities, I'm turning my dreams into reality. I love to learn things on a continual basis and tend to remember trivial facts. I have a knack for both artistry and technology and thus love the mind melding creative potential each facet provides. I really enjoy helping people out and find it fulfilling. I like to eat delicious meals. I want to learn to ride a motorocycle within the next year, expand my vocabulary, contribute more regularly to worthy causes (both financially and with time).

I recently made the jump by quitting my full time job doing financial planning (which I now do on the side) and have begun focusing solely on more creative efforts like design.

You probably share many of the same interests as I do seeing as we're all here in this "exclusivity" known as RogueConnect. However if you wanted to know a little more I'm pretty easy to find out about.

To find out more about me you can read what I have to write at either my personal blog http://reverb.madstatic.com/blog. Be sure to check out the About page there and you can judge me by the watches and shoes I wear (although honestly I haven't updated those pages in awhile).

I'm also a contributing author at the Vancouver Metroblog located here:

Hates

I guess now that I'm in the proper frame of mind to understand that "Pet Hates" is the Auzzie equivalent for "Pet Peeves" I'll change this from simply stating "Cats" LOL I'm such a fool.

Proper pet hates would be people with no cellphone etiquette, people that drag their feet when they walk, Princess of Robson (The main fashion/shopping/downtown street here in Vancouver, Canada), people who don't know the difference between "yield" and "merge", parents who don't parent their children, Sandra Oh, Carson Daly, oh I better stop I've resorted to Pseudo-Celebrities. Wait that's one. People who are famous that shouldn't be.

Ideal Night Out

I like experiencing new things so anything is ideal. However certain things I like doing on a more than once basis. For example: A night started out with a nice dining experience followed by a screening of some new independent movie or checking out a local band followed up by some more eating of the desert kind I find frequently enjoyable.
