Hey Folks,

So, here I am back in ffice:smarttags" /> lace>Vancouver lace> after a stay in lace>Ontario lace> with family and friends. All-in-all, it was a good experience; a much needed one. A few things hit home while I was away. I’ve been seeing my father’s health deteriorate over the past years, and this definitely brings me to a new perspective of the important things in life such as family, friends, and relationships. If I have seemed distant over the past little while, please accept my apologies for being off-kilter.

I have also been in the midst (as some of you know) of some inner conflict on how to go about semi-reinventing myself in regards to what I do for a living, where my priorities need changing, and what it means to become a happy and well-adjusted person. This process isn’t always an easy or a pretty one to witness, so my apologies to those of you who’ve experienced my frustration in my wake. My paintings have brought a new enthusiasm of life to me – ask about them if you’re interested.

I have decided that, as adamantly I have steered away from the whole “workin’ for the man” thing in my life, there comes a time when the reality of bills, rent, food, and comfort sing a different tone in ones head – now’s that time for me!

I am looking for work in the Vancouver, BC area, and, naturally, the ideal would be in the fields that you’ve all seen me in over the past few years: promoter/publicist/emcee/performer/poet/broadcaster and all that jazz, but unless it can bring me some sort of solid and regular income, I will have to keep all of these things as supplementary incomes. I believe that this may also offer a certain novelty to these elements again, as they once had when it produced a certain amount of wonder for me in my life. I look forward to truly enjoying and appreciating these things again in the future, as opposed to feeling like I must constantly scramble to keep the rent paid and my wee belly filled. Full time or pat time works for me, so keep me posted. If you’d like to vouche for me and pass this on to folks who you know who may be able to help me out, please feel free to do so.

So – if any of you know of jobs available ffice ffice" /> > >

PLEASE, LET ME KNOW!

For those of my friends who own businesses, > >

 you know that I am motivated and personable and adaptable, so think about me when it comes hiring time.

I hope that this note finds you all well, and feel free to drop me an email or a phone call sometime, as I am far less busy than I’ve seemed in the past!

Thanks for your help, guys! > >
