Name
Charlie is Brown @charlieisbrown 


City
Vancouver

Occupation
I rescue damsels in distressed jeans. I've also been known to create peace using fleece.

What is your dream in life?
I'd like for every single person to shed their egos and insecurities and have all the means and capabilities to do exactly what they truly love to do. That would make every person happy. The planet would be a lovely place… except if everyone decided that they wanted to murder and steal. That would be super lame. Can I do a redo if that happens? If so, I want to be an integral part of a creative revolution that destroys the current system that's designed to make us all fail. 

If there was a movie produced about your life, who would play you, and why? 

Probably Cockroach from the Cosby Show because he was Theo's best friend. And Theo had an earring in one ear and was super into Gordon Gartrell.  



Two things that make you smile.
My wife and the movie Macruber. You can tell whether you will be friends with someone based on whether they love the movie Macgruber or not. It's a great way to cut to the chase when taking in a new friend resume. Oh and my wife is super funny but she only lets a few people in that lovely head of hers. 


The Spa-Ghettiis, @charlieisbrown
What music have you been listening on repeat lately? 
- The track Hive by Earl Sweatshirt.  Best lyricist ever; he is almost Shakespearean.
- Pharcyde's Bizarre ride II to the Pharcyde. Always.  Best album ever. Front to back.  
So fun and funny and weird.

You are a new addition to a Crayola crayon box. What color are you and why?
Rainbow, because I have a very broad perspective and see everything and everyone with empathetic eyes. 

Without much hesitation, what are your three dream destinations? 
- Merida, Mexico
- Barcelona, Spain
- One of those huts in that turquoise water in all those Instagram pics.

How would you describe your fashion style?
Always comfortable with a tiny strut.

@charlieisbrown
Tell us one thing people would be surprised to know about you.
That I hate surprises and if I want to do unto others as I do myself, I won't be surprising anyone. No thank you.

Your two favourite quotes of the moment.
Guys with goatees must really love their mouths.  They must love them so much that they build a hairy frame around them; as if it’s a piece of art.  
-          @charlieisbrown (myself)

The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you figure out why.
-          Mark Twain 

For you, Art is...
See above: Mouths with a hairy frame around them. Haha.

When you can sit on that unconscious seat in your soul and let life's moments pass through you. It's almost as if you are happily stoned, taking absolutely everything in and not getting affected by negative mind chatter.  Nothing can bring you down.  It's all about those artful moments.

According to you, what is the purpose of life?
To be spiritually and emotionally happy in your moments yet always striving to be a better version of yourself. And love.
