JayBab

Canadian/Acadian living on the East Coast of Canada, within a tri-community area I like to call planet Monkton (sic). I work full-time for a courier company mainly doing internal communications (to put it simple) and part-time in a music store (my fun job!). If I'm not working a minimum of 6 days a week, I ain't happy. I live with 2 cats, both silly-Siamese, who don't work, or even bother to look for work and don't really contribute to the household income. I graduate from l'Univeristé de Moncton with a Bachelors in Arts & English. I speak 2.5 languages, that being English, French and a French-Acadian dialect.

U2, Beatles, Radiohead, Tom Waits, Belle & Sebastian, Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, Joseph Arthur, P.J. Harvey, Tragically Hip, Nick Cave, Velvet Underground, Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders, Beck, REM, the Cure, the Stars, Bjork, Tori Amos, les Paiens, Jean Leloup, Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot, Nick Drake, Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen, the Police, Beastie Boys

Kurt Vonnegut, Tolkkien, Christopher Moore, J.K. Rowling, Bukowski, Dawkins, Canadian lit. I'm into science-geek stuff too, like linguistics, evolution, genetics & Kurzweil futurism.

(I'd rather be watching a live music act) I get so turned-off on movies these days, I mostly watch live music acts on DVD at home. But those movies that I do enjoy; Star Wars (ALL of them, I still want to be a Jedi when I grow-up), Lord of the Rings, Reservoir Dogs, 2001 A Space Odessy, Woody Allen flix, U2 Rattle & Hum, the Last Waltz.

I stumbled upon this site after coming-up with the idea of creating a CD swap-group on Facebook. But Facebook is only really good for playing chess, not swapping. I like what everyone has done with this place here.

I used to swap mix CDs only, but now that Swap Bot frowns upon that, I've mostly switched to coin collecting.

If you're keen on a one-on-one coin(s) swap, message me! as we say in French, "Ce serait chouette!"

• Coins
• coin-shaped tokens
• ticket stubs
• mix CDs
• outdoors, scenic and/or urban photo that you took
• Siamese cats
• business cards from Cafés & coffee shops
• beer coasters

• Postcards
• Stamps
• Bookmarks
• Magnets
• (other?)
• these are things I do not collect much, but if you are from outside of Canada, and would like to collect items that i would easily have access to, I could very easily do a private swap with you in exchange for coins from your country.

Image below is a collection of used stamps I've accumulated from the past months from exchanging coins with awesome swappers from all over the globe. If you are interested in collecting used stamps, and have foreign coins to offer, please message me for private swap.
