Something Serious About Me:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I care about people. I am a writer, investor, editor and teacher. Traveller of the mind. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Something Funny About Me:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I love creative endeavours and once founded a band (god rest its soul) whose claim to fame was that only one of its 8 members had any musical talent (not I). I did write the songs of course. And came up with each (many during tedious university classes) *after* creating its non-sequitur song title. Song writing of that type was the kind of creative challenge I enjoyed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yes, I did name most of my band members after kitchen paraphernalia (!?). Where is all this going you may ask? Well, my persona was known as Vorak (pronounced / Vore /-ak) the Toaster. Indeed, 'vorak approximates a Latin word (vorax) meaning 'insatiable' and could apply to my insatiable appetite for both amusement and knowledge. Oddly enough, I often find one through the other.

The Nuntius, The Venalicius, The Newspaper (@ University of Toronto) where I began the first INTERNET column at The University of Toronto, The Gargoyle (University College Newspaper), The New England Classical Journal, _Idiom Savant: Slang As It Is Slung_ (contributing editor), and now, yay! at Epinions.com.

What now, what next:

In 1998, I met my soul mate. And know this when I peer into her loving, perfect, dark chocolate eyes. At the end of the day, she is my reward and solace.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As soon as I can afford it, I will sweep her off her feet and into my future. NEWS UPDATE: I swept her off of her feet this past Aug 15, 2002! Hurrah! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
