Hi there. Welcome to my profile. There was free coffee and complimentary cookies, but I ate them all.
If you're wondering where to put me, I'd probably fit in the following circles:
Web DesignTechnologyGeekCape BretonHalifaxMaritime ProvincesGamingComicsScience FictionStar Wars: The Old RepublicAtheist and Theist discussions.Politics


Born in Halifax, moved to Cape Breton in 2009 when my wife graduated from university and got a job here (Neither of us is from the region). I used the following 2 years to get a diploma in web development from NSCC and am now I build websites and junk. 
I like comic books and making laser noises while shooting things with my finger. I am owned by 2 cats. My wife and I like to hike and fly kites in our backyard, which always gets us weird looks. I am extremely outgoing, except for when I'm not, and I'm much less annoying than I appear at first glance.
9 out of 10 people who are me feel that I am awesome.

Nothing I say should be taken

About 5 weeks ago I've seen a lot of people today say stuff like "I've lost all faith in humanity" and a bunch of other cynical, asinine garbage.

Those people are looking at it wrong and I feel sorry for them.

Today had some terrible stuff happen. Not just in Boston. Hell, that wasn't even the bombing with the highest number of injuries and deaths, and that's madness. There are all sorts of legitimately terrible things happening all over the world all the time.

And you know what?

Things are better than they used to be. We used to send armies of people to stab each other with swords. We used to line up with muskets and shoot point blank at one another. We spent years fighting in trenches in the mud and the guts and the blood of our friends.

And now we have terrorists and drones strikes and school shootings and a bunch of other heinous shit, but we have less of those other things. That makes me hopeful  I firmly believe one day we'll have less o

About 10 weeks ago Picture I took Sunday evening of the big fiddle, in Sydney, Cape-Breton,  Nova Scotia.

There are a ton of "the worlds biggest" things in Canada, but I'm fairly certain this is the biggest fiddle.

About 5 weeks ago "I've seen things. I've seen the dark underbelly of a society that no longer cares, and places where the brightness of the sun couldn't possibly make a difference against the insurmountable darkness. That cat? He's seen things too. Also, he stands in his toilet. Then? He walks on my pillow. God damned cat."
