First off… I am Joey Wargachuk, a boy not yet a man, a man not yet letting go of being a boy (thanks Britney)
Secondly. I am the Shell of the Universe. This in itself is a small persona that grew and took over my life, bring forth, a website, a song, and so much more, I breathed life into something that in turn gave a reason for living, in a time of my life where thing didn’t seem to be going my way.
This Blog is about everything in my life, This is where my vanity shines through from simple rants and raves to coping and dealing with Asperger’s Syndrome, this is where I come to write and to grow!
I believe that I am one in a million, so that translates that there are six thousand people out in the world just like me, and no better way to connect with them in an online form.
I find myself in this time in my life, living in the trendy city of Toronto on the sunny shores of Canada. I have made this cultured city my home for the last 4 years, and everyday is a wondrous experience and a fantastic random adventure. No matter where you go in the T dot, your going to find something or meet someone who will profoundly inspire you and teach you something you thought you never know, I always look forward to stepping out of my doorway no matter what the weather is and seeking out new and exciting things that wait me in this visually spectacular city.
For those who ask:
I am Visual Artist of Many mediums!
- Photography
- Digital Design( Photo shop cs3, Illustrator, and In design and Quark Express, Dreamweaver)
- Collage and scrap booking
- Watercolor and paint on Canvas
- Fashion Styling and Merchandising
I am gay, but that is only a fragment of what makes me who I am, so I am not about to make being gay my anthem or going all Gay crazy or gay rights on you, there are tons of people out there that do that for me, so don’t expect me to run around wearing rainbows and wearing “I am Gay” name tags, that’s so 1990.
I am a jack of all trades, I live for photography, graphic design, however I prefer you call it art done in a digital medium! I am trained in manufacturing Quality control and advanced blue print reading. I was home schooled, and fully taught in theology and occult research! I am basically encyclopedia in a blond boys body. I also attended 90% of a fashion marketing course before the not so famous anymore International Academy of Design decided to go and close there doors, screwing over a lot of very unimpressed students, one of them being myself. I am only scheming the surface of my skills and talents! I am also a blogging and video blogging junkie will mad skills in web design, and word press building.
The best quote of all time describing me was “Joey… You are a do it yourself Evil Genius- author unknown”
Yes, I spent the most part of my Life living in the middle of no where Prince Edward Island, being home schooled and Following around a super religious mother who dragged myself and my sister to every occult site this side of North America.
One of the major triggers and problems that people living with Asperger’s Syndrome have huge issues with in dealing with day to day life, is CHANGE, and at this moment that I am writing this biography of myself I am going through a lot of change, I recently moved, lost my Job, and am dealing with a terminal illness of loved one, so things in my life causing me to what like to call, short circuiting, so this is where I find myself, this blog is my hope, my life, my fears, and where I am coming to ground myself, and find who it is I really am while discovering this city I call home.
By the Way… I heart Hater’s. I have always believe that freedom of speech is what makes us truly free, and I don’t accept that even a small percentage of you will agree with my views or understand where I am coming from, so please leave a comment, send an email, and I will get back to you, and if you’re a really jerk I just might feature you in a up coming blog! So I dare you, do you feel lucky!

ABOUT THE SHELL
How does one begin to explain something that has not yet been explored? This is the story of a real boy. He lives in the real world, as well as within the minds eye. Those with the inability to see beyond life’s shades of Grey may think the boy has lost his mind to think he is the Shell. The rest of us know different; we realize that he has something to teach the world about existence, reality, and possibility. His belief in himself has taken him far away from his harsh beginnings. He was raised by those who held Christian faith to be the highest truth; and lived in isolation far from civilization for a period of time that would seem unbearable to most. Such an environment is not one that generally fosters what we can see is a strong forward-thinking ego in a young man, however, nonetheless, he has come to believe he is more than everything - he encompasses everything: After all, he IS the Shell of the Universe.
His quest is not about fame, glamour, or approval by means of popularity. His persona has nothing to do with vanity, or pretentiousness. “How could I think I am better than anyone else, when in essence, I am everyone else - so it would be a complete waste of time to think I’m more,” says the Shell. Many hours could be spent discussing complicated scientific theory and paradoxes of a philosophic nature to understand why this boy is who he is. Although when you look at the worlds and images he creates in the Digital Realm, you might begin to see that the most mysterious people in existence are hidden in plain sight.
Haven’t you heard? He’s a mystery child worth more than gold. He is The Shell of the Universe!
