I feel like I should have introduced to myself a bit more. I did do a pretty detailed about me page. It touches a bit on my work life and I guess my perspective on how you need to go after what you want. That being said, it doesn’t cover too much personal information. Even though I don’t really post photos of myself, I am a pretty open book. Ask and you’ll receive!
My name is Brent and I am 23 years old. I live with my dog, just East of Toronto, in a pretty small space. Bigger than you’re one bedroom/studio condo though. I’ve got myself a fenced in backyard for the dog so it’s pretty perfect. I have gardens but my dog Ellie tends to enjoy them a bit too much. I’d love to live downtown Toronto but the timing just isn’t right. The cost of living is much more and I don’t love the idea of renting and paying someone else’s mortgage. For now I’ve got it pretty good. A secure, flexible job with benefits and the ability to take time off in the Summer to work on two of Canada’s largest festivals. I guess that gives you a better idea of where I’m at in life – but here’s some quick answers to questions I just copied from various question and answers that I found online.
1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
Closed, but I don’t have a closet in my bedroom.
2. Do you take shampoo and conditioner bottles from hotels?
For sure.
3. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
Out of course.
4. Have you ever stolen a street sign?
No, but I wouldn’t put that past me if it had my last name or something.
5. Do you cut out coupons and then never use them?
Yeah, or I get coupons in the mail and forget to use them until they expire.
6. Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of bees?
Well a bear, but wtf – neither.
7. Do you always smile for pictures?

8. Do you ever count your steps when you walk?
I sometimes check the “Health” app on my phone, but no.. not regularly unless I think to myself “Shit, I walked a lot today!”

13. What do you dip a chicken nugget in?
Depends where I am, but I am a self proclaimed dip connoisseur. McDonalds would be sweet n’ sour and hot mustard – but not on the same nugget. Wendys would be sweet n’ sour. But generally I’m just okay with plum sauce or spicy thai.
