About

My name is Filipe Leite and I am a second year Journalism student at Ryerson University in Toronto, Ontario. I was born in Brazil, but moved to Canada when I was 9-years-old with my parents and sister.

I love to laugh, but it is making others do the same that truly makes me happy. I believe in informing and entertaining. Rocks are okay, but grass is way cooler. Jesus was a cool dude, but I don’t believe he was the son of God. God is also chilling, but I am not sure who or what he/it is. I like Science, but realise it can only go so far. Fast food makes you feel good. So does cocaine. Digital cameras have made beautiful moments fake. Barack Obama, has instilled hope. George Bush is an idiot. My forefathers have fucked up. Our world is screaming for help. A generation of  defs passing the ranes to a generation of mutes. Airplane food is an oxymoron. Flights scare me. But I love to fly. I hate the gym. My soul burns at school. My mind expands with every page I turn. The light-box tells me what I should like. I simply nod and turn the volume up. Music is not dead, it is very hard to find. Doesn’t mean you should stop looking. Marijuana is okay. Drinking and driving kills. So do Police officers. I am tired of seeing how a few people control the majority of our worlds natural resources, money and power while the rest are left starving. I don’t believe anyone should starve to death in the name of Capitalism. I don’t believe money is more important than a life.

The stories I tell come from my travels, articles I have written for different publications and life itself. If you don’t agree with my opinions and thoughts, please tell me. No one is perfect, and you might prove me wrong. I like being proved wrong, because it teaches me to be right.

Thank you for stopping by,

Filipe~
