I am Snufkin, a vagabond elf. I am also known as O Lord Eel, aka Admiral Flesh, aka Dorje Schjelderup, aka Zohar Keshet, aka Frater Barakat Alhub, aka Hakim Tajeddin, aka Father Sogol, aka Leophilo; all situationally dependent. I'm a student of everything currently trapped in medical school and trying to finish it and get my MD before moving on to other things and places. I would like to do a psychiatry residency to specialize in Trondheim, Norway. I am not bad at surgery and have come in handy for some accident-prone friends, no anaesthetic though. I travel relentlessly and excessively. I can get along in basically any language without much difficulty or stress, and with excellent pronunciation. I bullshit well and with charm. I wish I lived in Montreal instead of Vancouver, or Jerusalem, Istanbul, Vienna, Paris, Cairo, Prague… ahh…I was just there… I hate this town. I accumulate obsessions.  I am something of a chameleon. My favourite colours are some kind of orange that I have no name for, and a particular sort of green. I admire simplicity because it is something I shall never know or have. I'm a shameless charmer and I fall in love too recklessly and easily with unworthy mere mortals. My heart has been broken so many times it is a complex mosaic, but as long as I keep it polished it shines like a mirror ball and in the right light can dazzle the darkness. I am intensely emotional. I have still not found a true love, but as long as my delusions persist and the voices urge me on, I will exhaust myself in restless wandering in search of my dream girl as Cain marked. I was born on the day of the Jonestown massacre and the anniversary of the first atomic bomb explosion. The first word I uttered was “fish.” I was a rural hippy child (nude and golden with long blond curls on an organic commune) raised into an urban goth industrial adolescence in the era of Skinny Puppy. The psychedelics were the common thread. Like going from Woodstock to HR Giger. Though I am not drinking now, I like Absinthe best of all. I eat and sleep very little. An ectomorph, I am built like a greyhound, and though athletic am appalingly thin and pale and tall, like an ivory spider. None of the goddamned clothes on this retarded continent fit me! I really belong in Europe (where they do), and for many more reasons than that. I collect bones, instruments, books, carpets, and ghosts. I have frequent nightmares, at other times I laugh myself awake. Though I like children and get on well with them, I have lost most of my naive faith in humanity, yet I still do love a few of them humans and like several, both alive and dead. I make friends easily though, and whimsically embark on adventures when the moment strikes me. I like to sing and dance alone, which I think I do well. I have no allergies and I eat almost everything. I work in the field of harm reduction and addictions therapy with Ibogaine. I follow research on consciousness and psychotropic compounds. I play goofy songs on the banjo (to paid audiences in Norway - !), and sad sweet ones on the ney. I am sometmes a minstrelsy troubadour. I co-formed a band called the Creaking Planks which I have marooned myself from after achieving lasting fame. I have recently been involved in a noise music installation performance. I have a taste for nutty, salty and bitter things, not sweet. I am careful and avoid direct danger. I used to be shy, and I remain somewhat standoffish, but now I like too much to be the centre of attention and to perform. I have often come off as pretentious and narcissistic in consequence, but its not true and I am making some adjustments. I try to meditate and be mindful and to ambitiously work on myself, but I am a chronic backslider. I value integrity and dignity, and I'm trying to be polite and honourable. I hate people who so fear confrontation that they cannot be direct, and I do not forgive shit talking gossip behind my back. I am quick with the shiv. I have an “inny.” I drive a green Vespa. I have very few very good friends on whom I rely a great deal for sanity and stability. I'm a great cook. I have a dark and impish sense of humour. I think death is kind of funny, and I am kind of a comedian; much better at making up my own jokes than in delivering other people's. I am very very lucky and believe that I will live a very long time. I think my soul is quite old and that I have met everyone I know many times before. I resemble Peter Pan very much: “Puer Aeternis” as it is disparagingly diagnosed, but I am proud of my childlikeness, and am careful to distinguish it from childishness. (Now an end to this excess!) …In a delightful exemplification of this point, my grade seven teacher warned, without irony, the readers of my permanent record card (which I have framed) that I was: “sly and mischevious - to be watched.”
