About

This site contains a repository of insights and musings related to all things in everyday psychology. Everything is written about in a lighthearted, easy-to-read manner. The information isn’t presented with muddled scientific jargon, but is rather fluffy, yet insightful, and gets the point across-all at the same time.

Why I can’t make a latte in less than 2 min, or jerk off guys….yet can conjure up new scientific theories

My Self-Summary:

A self-professed neuroscience geek, I graduated U of T with a Bachelor’s degree in psychology. I was jobless for a year and my ultimate goal in life was to get a f*cking job and move out of my dysfunctional family household(which consisted of my: smother mother, absent father, carbon copy bratty younger sisters).

What I’m Doing with My Life:

Trying to make enough money to pay next month’s rent

I’m Really Good At:

Coming up with new theories to explain the way the universe works

The First Things People Usually Notice About Me:

How socially awkward I am

Favourite Books, Movies, Shows, Music, and Food:

Books: The Brain that Changes Itself, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat

The Six Things I Can’t Live Without:

-Google
-My glasses
-My Brain
-My Heart
-Food
-Shelter

I Spend a Lot of Time Thinking About:

I’ve plotted how the apocalypse will occur: 5 billion people worldwide use cell phones. This is the largest uncontrolled clinical experiment in history. I hypothesize that the world population will be halved within the next 50 years due to half the population dying from brain cancer.

Whether people will finally catch on that adrenochrome, oxidized adrenalin, and the hallucinogen responsible for causing schizophrenic hallucinations, is a chemical produced due to evolutionary pressure to adapt to the cancer epidemic we face in modern times.

On a Typical Friday Night I am:

In front of the computer and online, googling something. I know I can find solace and answers in Google, much like one would seek solace and answer in religion. Google is God. I think Google is like the mother that soothes her crying, insecure infant at night.

The Most Private Thing I’m Willing to Admit:

I was born with a brain tumor

People ask me where the idea for the butterflies came from. It’s a long story….one that involved crystal meth…

My Self-Summary:

I have the typical ‘tortured’ soul rock star biography: sex, drugs, and rock and roll. I have daddy issues, and drugs and alcohol have been an integral part of my life. I turned to alcohol during my teen years. I went through a period of time post Bsc. in Psychology from Guelph where I turned to crystal meth to deal with my problems. It was crystal meth that brought me closer to a higher, evolved, enlightened, spiritual self. Alcohol just gave me bad hangovers and a really fucked up liver. I don’t do anything anymore, because I’m better than that.

What I’m Doing With My Life:

There’s only one thing I want to do with my life before I die: share my music with the whole world. Right now, I’m trying to scrounge up enough money to produce my music album so everyone can hear me out.

I’m Really Good At:

Humans have limitations in terms of the frequency ranges they can hear. Dogs can hear high notes, elephants can hear low notes. I can detect pitches most humans can’t detect. I always know when one is singing off-key.

I can also detect spiritual energies and auras around people.

The First Things People Usually Notice About Me:

My butterfly stickers

Favourite Books, Movies, T.V Shows, and Food:

The Six Things I Could Never Do Without:

-n-acetyl glucosamine (it’s a natural supplement)
-my guitar
-my voice
-any kind of Kurt Cobain merchandise or memorabilia
-my butterfly stickers
-my angelwings

I Spend a Lot of Time Thinking About:

When the world will become enlightened and function at a higher spiritual level. There is more to life than materialistic things like high heeled pumps, the next Britney Spears shocker, or what happened during the last episode of the Bachelor.

On a Typical Friday Night I am:

I’m always up to something, being the self-professed ‘shit disturber’ that I am. I’m usually either jamming at my studio, or out at a rave, partying with my friends.

The Most Private Thing I’m Willing to Admit:

I had my appendix removed at a young age
