Ideas Currently Marinating!
Visit the blog that started it all! Going back a whole four years! Lots of things have happened since I started writing! From insightful commentary, cynical perspective to demented dribble, it’s got it all! Specially the dribble! Read the BruckNews articles which are what inspired the current project-in-the-works of The Happy Hormone, an online magazine, to the recent paint and photography craze. The blog is the place to be up to date with current adventures, projects and news.

Speak Spanish TO Me
Hola! With over 1200+ members we are Toronto’s largest peer-to-peer Spanish language group! Taken classes and finding you are forgetting what you learned? For five years, our motto has been, ‘if you don’t use it, you lose it,’ and this holds true, specially to languages. For 5 years now and thousands of members later, we are still as vibrant as on our first event.
Join us we every Thursday to not only practice & motivate ahead but also to share and meet new friends who share your passion for what is arguably the most Romantic of Latin based languages.
Photography Portfolio
My photography portfolio can be found here. It includes some interesting and eye-catching slices of life both home and abroad. Please, feel free to visit, browse and comment or simple browse through the slide show. For now, the site is still in developing but quite polished so feel free to take a look.
Alternatively if you are the type that just can’t wait then feel free to check my local photography showcase on my site, here!
Lanthos: A Poetry Collection
Named after a lush island I once found in a dream, I share with you my collection of 41 poems. Written from when I was 16 years old, since, like most kids of that age, I began writing poetry, thinking of course that I would be one of few; however I did not really take it seriously until my mid-20’s when I actually began keeping copies of the works. So from love, lust, angst, insightful word play and life observations, I hope you enjoy reading some of them as much I have enjoyed writing them for the last 16 years.
Toronto’s 25-40 Social Club
Since 2006, TO25-40 has existed as a side project of Toronto Friends! the Toronto 25-40 Social Club is a group hosted through Meetup.com for people who would like to meet Torontonians who may fall into their own specific age group and life experience. As a group, we are respectful to one another as we venture out our cosmopolitan city. From dinning to nights out in the town, come out and socialize with a group of over 900 professionals. Please note, this is not a meat market, our focus is to explore the city while building new friendships.
The Happy Hormone News
Is currently evolving… Please be a patient. A blatant source of humour, satire, and cynism in our already surreal world! We are getting there and currently in the process of looking for writers. So if you think you are funny, no, hilarious, and have a bit of warped sense of humour and want to get some of your writings out there, then email me by clicking here.
Too Fun To
TBA in the near future. Soooon.
