I have a bit of a plan. I am currently working on getting some acting roles in TV and Film. I started about a year ago doing BG work...which isn't technically Acting, but a great place to learn what being on set is all about. Muese Productions in Ottawa has decided to represent me, and are working their tails off getting me auditions.

On the music front, I've always had a love/hate relationship. But I think I have been looking in the wrong direction. Sometimes you need to create what is really inside you, and I think for me they are comedic songs. So after feeling a little validated by the response to If You Don't Like What I'm Doing

I'm also rather enjoying writing short comedy sketches and learning about film making. I guess I have a full plate! Thanks for the question.

I tried playing the penny stocks years ago. I even bought investing for dummies. But working in construction and raising 4 kids didn't leave much room for investment capital. I sucked at it though. I am definitely not even remotely an investing pro, and the limited experience I did have were failures lol.

My buddy was into investing while he was in college in the early 2000s...2001 to be exact. Even back then he was trying to teach me about options etc. But I guess I didn't let it sink in because of the lack of capital. I should have listened. He has been quite successful....not his full-time job. So after this long-winded speech....the answer is NO lol.

I think it goes back to 2018, when I saw the state of Wall Street, and what I see as "bad" practices. I wouldn't say I have disdain, more of a feeling, which I think is shared by many, that the system is flawed...and it's been revealed in a big way. I do think there are going to be unwanted ramifications from all of this. But, let's face it, these stock manipulations have been happening for years...just between the few.

That being said, I do believe in a free market. And, I am more of an artist watching what is going on right now. This song, to me, is more than just telling the institution that we have had enough, it's also about being tired of shut downs (I understand why we have them) and just the world being an judgy place right now. I made the video, because I believe right now, this is what people are saying. But, it can be applied to anything really. The current movement just seemed like a logical first step in sharing the song with the world.

Ahhhh it's my old buddy himself! And here I thought you were an expert stocksmith!

Unfortunately no :( I do however lie about it sometimes with hilarious results. One time during my "drinking" days, I had my wife take me to the beer store...as I was fully buzzed and needed to restock. When I went in the store it was empty, so I thought why not. I told the Beer Store clerk (that's where we get our beer in Ontario, Canada...The Beer Store...wonder how much it cost the government to come up with that name hahhaa...anyhow. I'll start a new para

I walked up to the counter and told the customer service rep that I was a representative of the Molson corp and was just checking on our display. She looked skeptical then I showed her my license and she was like...oh wow. Then I proceeded to tell her that I would like a free case of Canadian. She looked bewildered. I told her it's cool, she just has to call this 1-800 number to clear it and the company would reimburse them. She was like..." I've never done that before. Hold On let me ask the manager". Then I dropped the facade. It was funnier if you were there.

Another time I was at a bar in Ottawa. These two slick young men were out having a smoke. I started shooting the shit with them and found out they were freshly graduated, business students. I told them I was part of the Molson family and would like to offer them jobs in sales. I told them we were looking for reps in Barrie. They were skeptical, I pulled out my license and they were like...omg that would be awesome. I gave them my email....they sent me resumes. To be honest I felt a little bad about that one.
