AN OPEN 'MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL EMPLOYMENT' COVER LETTER (RÉSUMÉ NOT ATTACHED)
Forever in the search of “I can haz blahg monetization”, I recently started rolling out an idea called ‘Mutually Beneficial Employment’ as a way for local businesses/organizations to do a combination of ‘support the work that goes into running The 95EH Events Calendar’ + ‘work directly with me on work we agree to’ — and this blog post explains more!

“Find your own little rituals and totems. I've started embroidering and I find it good to have an activity that I can find meditative and calming.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ COLIN JAMES
“I’m not one to preach about what one should or should not do, but, for me, cycling daily is my thing. Across the bridge and around Stanley Park or a fuller 40k ride always sets my mind straight.”
420 ALL DAY @ THE HI54 on MOUN.TOWN/FM
Did you know that it takes 400 to 450 songs—heck, let's just call it an even fourtwenty—to make a playlist that will play for an entire day without repeating a song? And did you know that I put a new 54-track mix at the top of this 420-tracks/artists playlist at the changing of every month?
LOCAL INTRODUCTIONS w/ JEREMY @ 95EH.CA + MOUN.TOWN
“Throw in the fact that the hope for the future world I'd like to live in feels easier to hold onto when surrounded by all those things I just mentioned & more (which comes with living amongst other people that are also drawn to those same things)… I think the highway 95/a area is still very much a pretty dang good place to be™!”
NOT A MUSIC BLOG, NOT NOT A MUSIC BLOG

“I think one thing that could help everyone is just to be more mindful with your actions, your speech, and even the conversation you participate in or even just hear. For myself I always aim to try and take in more positivity because, especially in today's age, with the access we have, it's very easy to paint a bleak picture.”

“Eat blueberries and don't suffer fools.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ NATHAN MONGOL WELLS
“If you're ever at a restaurant in a state or country that has a coastline and they have grilled octopus, get it. I know, it's gonna be like 30 bucks, it probably came from farther away than you'd like to think about, and it's gonna be smaller than you expect, but man it's the most delicious meal ever.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ ODDS
“I am late to Yoga, but it sure has been helpful. You don’t have to be good at it and you don’t have to do more than a few minutes to feel better.”
