Occupation: Musician, Recording Engineer, Drunk
Biography: Chris plays guitar. Chris plays drums. Chris plays bass. Chris plays trumpet. Chris plays Madden. I did opium for about 2 weeks, and then it got boring. The smartest thing I ever did in high school was smoke pot. My favorite beer is Stella Artois. My favorite musician is Frank Zappa. My favorite football player is Doug Flutie. My favorite food is Italian. My favorite soap is Zest. I can do things with the CUT, PASTE and TIMESTRETCH tools in cubase that make drummers vomit. I've seen it. I'm an atheist (although i'm not violently opposed to faith or even organized religion, it's just that i don't buy it) and i hate self-righteous morality-nazis. Anything that negatively affects people physically is definately not cool (like murder, rape, mcdonalds) but other than that i say get on with it. When it comes to engineering, I seem to be different than everybody else in that I don't care that much about mic placement and knowing what frequencies sound like and what makes everything except 2-inch tape and pro tools such a waste of time. I guess you could say that I'm a musician that is smart enough to know how to operate high-tech recording equipment. I'm much more interested in the song and the sound than I am about making a technically perfect recording. I am a pirated-audio-software slut. No, I don't feel bad for software companies. And no, I don't feel bad for the music industry either. Just because you wrote a song does not entitle you to be a millionaire. I fully support anybody getting paid as much as they can, but when people start talking about how they're getting ripped off, that's where I get off. I'm a musician because I love music, not becuase I though I would get rich off of it. I'll take any money that comes my way, but I don't feel at all entitled to it by virtue of my profession. The music industry insisted on digital, and now thier own creation is coming back to haunt them. It looks good on them. I love a good bacon and tomato sandwich. I was born in Canada but I don't consider myself a Canadian. I'm a human being. When you look at pictures of the earth from space, those lines aren't there. America is a figment of somebody's warped imagination. I have some great movie ideas. My first movie would be about football, only because I think the genre of football movies has been vastly underserved. Football movies suck. I have an idea for a one off movie and also an epic trilogy. Another movie idea I have has to do with Klingons. The first Klingon to ever live ended up killing thier gods. Isn't that great? That's one of the funniest things I ever heard. But when I started thinking about it, I realized that there really is a great movie there. And another movie idea I have is called "Ten Star General". It's about World War III and about how the USA takes over the whole world and turns it into a football playing, big car driving, gun shootin', beer drinkin facist paradise. They even change the flag so that it has a big olive green USA (in that old 50's army font) on top of it, and the anthem is just "U, S, A! U, S, A!" But in order for that movie to be made, they have to build a football stadium that holds 10 million people. One day maybe. I think Osama Bin Laden lives down the hall from me. But I don't care because he rarely makes any noise, and that's hard to find in an apartment building. It really annoys me when somebody tells me that I'm wasting water. I LIVE IN CANADA FOR CHRISTS SAKE!!! That's it. I'm out.
