Projects & Initiatives

 

Vis­it the blog, where ideas are cur­rent­ly mar­i­nat­ing and that start­ed it all! Going back over a decade! Lots of things have hap­pened since I start­ed writ­ing! From insight­ful com­men­tary, cyn­i­cal per­spec­tive to dement­ed drib­ble. Its got it all! Usu­al­ly the lat­ter. Read arti­cles where I write about Toron­to, my home city on Spot­ted By Locals, to the recent paint and pho­tog­ra­phy craze. The blog is the place to keep up to date with cur­rent adven­tures, projects and news.

Wel­come to the Latin Quar­ter, pre­vi­ous­ly Toron­to Friends, a com­mu­ni­ty for you to social­ize with over 2,000+ mem­bers through social­ly con­scious events all over Guelph.

Min­gle in a safe, pres­sure free envi­ron­ment, try new venues and expand your cir­cle of friends. Funds that are raised help a mul­ti­tude of local and glob­al ini­tia­tives!

Toronto Spanish Club

Hola! With over 2400+ mem­bers we are Toron­to’s largest peer-to-peer Span­ish lan­guage group! Tak­en class­es and find­ing you are for­get­ting what you learned? For six years, our mot­to has been ‘if you don’t use it, you lose it,’ and this holds true, spe­cial­ly for lan­guages. For 16 years and now, thou­sands of mem­bers and hun­dreds of events lat­er, we are still as vibrant as on our first event.

Join us! We meet every Thurs­day to not only prac­tice & moti­vate ahead but also to share and make 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. For kick I also have set up a car­bon copy gallery at flickr here. Alter­na­tive­ly if you are the type that just can’t wait then feel free to check my local pho­tog­ra­phy show­case on my site, here!

 

 

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.

 

 

Lanthos: A Poetry Collection (Coming soonish)

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 18 years.
