The "NOT" Bio: To clarify a bizarre misunderstanding I'm not nor have ever been an actor or film producer though that is a flattering comment. A grade-6 play was the last time I was  asked to do any acting. Although some days I have to wonder if my life is a reality TV show. LOL; Not a politician. No political aspirations. Never been a member or volunteer for a political party. Never been employed by or paid a cent by any political party or government agency... thus and therefore please stop hassling me about politic ambitions for I have none ... Its far more delicious to follow and satire the folly of politics and politicians is it not? I am in the media AND an independent voter. Thank-you! Now If you wish hire me or engage me for "whatever" gig or mandate most glorious, prospective client, do feel free to call me and I'll be pleased to discuss how I can assist you as a PAID CONSULTANT. Entrepreneurs such as myself are open to new revenue generating opportunities be they legit, legal and you are being forthright.

"Play the game?" No thanks. "You play games; I play sports." - Have a nice day! 

LIFE Bio: Brian currently resides in Old Montreal. Born in the Eastern Townships. The family moved to Montreal when I was pre-school. Grew up in Ville LaSalle during the elementary school years. My family moved back to the Eastern Townships where I attended Alexander Galt High School and Champlain Regional College both in Lennoxville. Returned to Montreal after working a few years in Sherbrooke to pursue university objectives at McGill and Concordia and for career opportunities. 

THE ROOMIE Bio: My roommate is Nina (8-years old) a Black Labrador/ Husky/ Other Breed mutt who came from the SPCA in 2002. Loves her people. But doesn't much like other dogs. Born hunter. Chasing squirrels and smells is what she loves best. Nina is a top notch sprinter, game dog and ball catcher. Nina splits time with me and my older brother and mum down in the Eastern Townships. A good arrangement for all. Works for me when I've needed to travel out of town on business trips or overloaded. We all get to share her high energy personality, loving nature and exploits. The dog gets the bonus of both country and urban life.

CIVIL STATUS Bio: I'm currently single after various adventures and mis-adventures in cohabitation; relationships and dating with the fairer sex. LOL. Never been married, divorced or had children. Have gone the Conjoint (co-habitation) and girlfriend route for periods of my adult years. Relationships have ran from 10-plus days to 10-plus years. Being single is actually pretty cool. Certainly beats being stuck with the wrong mate anyway. "Move on when the love is gone" chirps a popular cellular phone company advertisement. They got that right!

Whoop-Dahh!

BUILD THE BRAIN: The Grey Matter matters! I enjoy reading books and magazines (detective fiction, history, historical novels, classics, sex & relationships; popular science; philosophy; sci-fi; architecture; men's health & lifestyle); creative writing; blogging; dabbling in poetry writing; comedy, satire on prudes/ the conceited/ the politicians/ the ultra religious and any person or group 2 full of themselves; arts; film; theatre; cafes; radio, dining out; live bands; pubbing & clubbing; watching or attending sporting events; fantasy sports pools, travel; history; wood working and carpentry; home renovations; collected comic books and sports cards as a kid; wine & beer tasting; cigars & port wines; current affairs; cooking (and I'm not half-bad!); ecology; science centers and events, astronomy, ya even astrology for a laugh (I'm a Leo), dancing; gardening and flower growing; poker and card games; board games and getting freaked-out once in a while by sweet surprises.
