I wrote this just for you. I grew up on a farm by a riverside that produced maple syrup, hay, corn, veggies, eggs, and milk. I used to hit golf balls in the field, play with my dog, play pond hockey with my family, go fishing in the river, and I also chopped a lot of wood. I dreamed of bigger things and of faraway places. When I was older I moved away from the farm and went to school in Montréal. I went to college and took a lot of pre-university courses including calculus, linear algebra, statistics, research methods, accounting, archeology, German basics, history of western civilization, computer science, and psychology. I went to a college nicknamed the country club because of the homogenous nature of its student body. I went on to university and studied finance at the same university as William Shatner.



My work took me across Canada and I have met quite a few interesting people, wild characters, free spirits, the vainglorious, the profligate, the inept, the adept, the fool, the magician, the morally bankrupt, I left quite a few good friends behind as ive left these beautiful places.



I like to work out, I love going to the gym, I bought equipment for home on those snowy days when going to the gym is an adventure in itself. I bought Arnold’s encyclopedia of bodybuilding and it has everything that you ever wanted to know about working out. Classic bodybuilding in the days of Schwarzenegger and Ferrigno is the foundation for modern bodybuilding and it should return to its roots.



I like to read books. I tried the digital route via e-readers but they were annoyingly slow and I prefer the feel of reading from a physical bound volume of paper and of ink. I like to read great works of literature, philosophy, history, art, archeology, fantasy, sci-fi, poetry.



I like all animals especially dogs. I have trained puppies and have owned a few different breed of canines such as retrievers, german sheppards,****r spaniels, rottweilers, and one I am partial to is the American bulldog. Cesar Milan and Pavlov are good inspirations for dog ownership and training of dogs.



I like to draw. I have been drawing for a few years now. I started drawing pencil portraiture because of an interest in retro pinup art of the 1920s to 1960s. I liked art similar to the works produces by Vargas. I would peruse deviantart, admiring the drawings and artwork produced by its members. I got my hands on a scanner and a copy of photoshop and started scanning my pencil sketches and colouring them on photoshop. Ive spent countless hours just drawing and coloring while listening to music, a pastime I find to be extremely cathartic. Ive acquired a Wacom tablet and corel painter x3 which has a lot more brushes in my opinion and when used in conjunction with a Wacom tablet, it unlocks so many more levels of digital art capabilities. My artwork gallery can be seen at www.johnnyscorpio.deviantart.com

My all time favourite artist is Tamara de Lempicka. If you get the chance look her up sometime.



I a m a music appreciator. Everything is better with music. I listen to many types of music. Pop, rock, metal, alternative, punk, classical, country, big band, folk, indie, dance, techno, edm, ebm, trance, industrial, house, ambient, and others. I also listen to music in different languages: French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Finnish, and Swedish.



I have been through my party phase. Bars/pubs, country bars, clubs, raves, concerts. I have settled down but don’t mind letting loose once in awhile. I learned how to dance in a mose pit, then at raves, techno, edm, trance, and industrial. I also learned how to make and spin fire poi. I liked to sample alcohol from all kinds of different micro-brewers and macro brewers, distilleries, and wineries. The strongest alcohol ive sampled was a French absinthe. It tasted of black licorice and set a fire to your insides as it went down even with sugar cubes or something to dilute it. Which alcohol is my favourite? I am partial to a few but each has it’s merits.



I like cars. I appreciate and like the look and performance of a fast car or the torque of a truck. I prefer a standard or manual transmission. I dislike automatic or shiftomatic or paddle shifters. Some of my favourites are 70s muscle, import tuners, raptors and rams.



I like food. I am by no means a chef but I do like to cook steak and potatoes on the bbq. Anything is good on the bbq: chicken, hamburgers, sausage, veggies. I like fettuccini alfredo with chicken, thai coconut rice with chicken, sheperd’s pie with taco seasoning, sausages, chili in the slow cooker, roast beef with carrots and potatoes, lasagna with lots of meat and cheese, lumberjack breakfast, potatoe leek soup, Italian wedding
