Joseph Travers



Hi. My name is Joe and I have a webpage (and E-mail). This is the one about me, and what I like, etc., etc., and so forth and so on... yadda yadda yadda... enjoy.



Where I Am:

I am originally from Newmarket, Ontario. That's about 20 miles or 50 km north of Toronto, Canada's largest city. Speaking of Toronto, I am now living there. Also, I go to York University, which, funnily enough, is in Toronto too.



Academia:

I attend York University, am in my fourth year, majoring in History and minoring in Political Science. A Canadian emphasis is on both of these, because I care about Canada, eh.



Music:

Music's great, don't ya think? My favourite bands include Canadian Artists such as The Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, 54-40, Sloan, Odds, Watchmen, Moist, Damhnait Doyle, and others.

Internationally, I like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Toad the Wet Sprocket, The Nields, Bjork, and others as well.



Other Pages:

Other Pages on the Web? No! Yes, actually.

The ToadWeb: Exhaustive Guide to Toad the Wet Sprocket on the Internet.
Canadian History: Nicely broken up into areas of study.
