I am a 23 year old writer, programmer and student from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. I study philosophy and business in university, and I work in a documentation department at a high-tech company.
In my spare time, I enjoy writing. I write just about anything: papers, blog entries, satire and humour, short films, music, and software. My goals in the next year are to write more and eventually plan a book, and shoot a few funny little movies.
My history
I was born and raised in the borough of East York, Ontario. My parents are immigrants from Greece and Denmark, and I am a part of two very cultured families.
I learned to read and write at a very young age. I could speak and spell a large number of words by age 3, memorized all the vehicles and license plates in the neighbourhood by age 4, and read novels by age 6. In the third grade, I co-wrote my first satirical work, a parody of several stories and fairy tales, with my friend Dave.

Favourite Quotes:
“Humor is the only test of gravity, and gravity of humor; for a subject which will not bear railery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.” -Aristotle
“Tragedy is when you cut your finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die.” -Mel Brooks
“To be sure, the doctrine of a personal God interfering with natural events could never be refuted, in the real sense, by science, for this doctrine can always take refuge in those domains in which scientific knowledge has not yet been able to set foot.” -Albert Einstein

On a coach heading to the U.S. for the weekend. Clearly bored; nothing better to do than take my own picture.
