Entrepreneurs Unite!

My friends at BizLaunch recently asked some of their entrepreneurs to complete a short questionnaire about their own business and offer small business advice to their network. I’ve included an excerpt from my interview. You can read it in its entirety by following the links to the BizLaunch blog where you will find a collection of advice and information from Canadian small business entrepreneurs.

2. Why did you start your own business?

I started a publishing company and published my first book at 14, an anthology of poetry and prose. I’ve always been a writer and with the many resources available online, I thought a website & blog was a good step.

3. What has been your biggest challenge so far?

My biggest challenge is finding the time between my full time day job and the venture.

miss ya mitch

You know, you can’t please all the people all the time… and last night, all those people were at my show.
– Mitch Hedberg

Mitch Hedberd was my favorite comedian. He died late in the evening on March 29, 2005. Due to stage fright and anxiety, he often performed with his glasses on, head down, hair in his face, and sometimes closed his eyes as not to make eye contact. Mitch was known for pointing out when he didn’t deliver a joke right and often nodded his head saying “all right.” It was often quite funny when he didn’t get the reaction he expected and would say something like “That joke’s better than you acted” or “That joke was dumb, I am aware of that.” He’s funny. I wish he was making jokes still. Luckily, he still makes me laugh every time I watch. ♥

guess who’s now following me on twitter?

My homeboy Barry Obama!!

Once I got this I sent him a message. I wonder is he, or his ‘Twitter updater” will message me back. That would be a dream. Maybe Barack Obama updates his own Twitter and he really is made up of all the wonderful that I think he is. ♥ I’ll stick with that positive mindset.

for my grandad ♥


i love and miss you
your spirit
will live forever
in my writing
you inspired me
and continue to
and i am thankful
for your love ♥

a little spray chalk on the sidewalk

i know what tapeminatti is now.

I spotted a photograph by Chris Wood and it was of a young gentleman spray painting Tapeminatti on a downtown sidewalk. I discovered that Tapeminatti is the place to go if you want to get your poster or message plastered all over the city.

My favorite thing that they do is sidewalk stenciling. It is done on any public property using only water-soluble spray chalk. It is most frequently done outside clubs or on busy streets in the downtown core. It’s cool because they use chalk which is water soluble and can be used on walls or over existing posters. I reckon it makes for a very cool effect and unique campaign. I envision my name plastered and painted across the whole city….

The services offered are street postering, event flyering and retail campaigns. On the website there is a variety of media including music and heaps of interesting videos and documentaries.

There is an illuminati connection in the documentaries. It is interesting because Tapeminatti prefers to keep a bit secret too.

I enjoy mystery. I like to find clues.
