KD Mack (K. Douglas MacRae)

Here’s just a little bit about me: I find Egyptian history fascinating. I have a very strong interest in my family roots. I’m interested in astronomy, science fiction, the supernatural, religion, other cultures, art and music. I had a membership with the National Geographic Society for several years. I know that a sextant is not a place you’d make love while camping. I am in love and married to a massage therapist but I don’t often get massages. I like all animals, horses in particular. I’ve been within an arms reach of a 40-ton humpback whale. I’ve inadvertently foiled a bank robbery. I’ve stood inside the center of the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops). I’ve walked alone along the canals of Amsterdam. I stood atop of the World Trade Center mere weeks before they fell. I’ve had meetings at Warner Brothers Studios over launching a comic book. I kissed Gina Davis and flat out lied to Willy Nelson. I flew an airplane and climbed from a horrific car crash without a scratch. I nearly accepted a Gemini award (Canadian Emmy Awards) but couldn’t get to the stage in time and rode in a convertible Ferrari on my 27th birthday. I’ve appeared briefly in one feature film and four major US TV series including Entertainment Tonight although I’m not an actor. I’ve met billionaire Harrison McCain but refuse to eat his french fries. I’ve seen more than my share of dead bodies but they still fascinate me. I nearly drowned in a rip tide. I fell from a 60-foot tall pine tree without breaking any bones. I’ve seen the rings around Saturn and the Moons of Jupiter through my telescope. I bought a $200 pair of cowboy boots and gave them away the next day because I didn’t like them and couldn’t bring them back. I don’t have my motorcycle license but would like to. I’ve never had a broken bone. I have a birthmark on my right wrist. I eat using my left hand. I’m also a lefty at bat, golf and hockey but I write with my right hand. I can speak 18 French adjectives in less than 4 seconds. I used to use this to impress girls… Never worked. I sang “I Had The Time of My Life” in a duet at my high school graduation. I don’t believe in God but I do believe we are bound to all living things and when we die we return to the energy stream of life. I always put the toilet seat down. I never fart in front of a woman but I will belch. I like Van Morrison’s “Brown-Eyed Girl“. I’ve had cuts stitched up 3 times in my lifetime. I stole a Yoda Star Wars action figure from a store when I was 12. My father is my hero. My eyes appear to change color under certain lighting. My parents divorced when I was 8.

I love my mother. I know Uri Geller is not related to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I used to go rock climbing but no more because my rock climbing friends moved away.I check my bank balance at least three times a week thinking it will mysteriously go up. I have no fear of heights. I rented a 2003 Ford Mustang convertible Labor Day weekend 2003. My wife quit smoking on the 21st of July 2003 but has since picked it up again. I’ve visited every province in Canada and over 40 states in the US. I’ve never been to Tibet. I’ve held $50,000 in cash and was never tempted to run off with it. I had a wood tic behind my ear when I was 10. I’ve made thousands of dollars on eBay. I’ve raised over $30,000 for charity through donating my artwork. I once pretended I was an off duty cop to break up a fight on a public bus. I don’t like reality TV shows because I feel they don’t teach us anything about who we are or how we can make a difference in the world. I’m a good father. I love lobster but hate pork sausage baked in tomato sauce. I’ve had 5 dogs in my lifetime. I currently own a 100pound female Bernese Mountain Dog named Tolberone. I had an urge to become a crime scene investigator for 7 hours after watching CSI for the first time. I like babies but prefer children because they think you’re cool if you act stupid.

I’ve lost my temper once as a teenager but never as an adult. I keep no secrets from my wife. I have a very playful side to my personality. I used to have a fear of losing my hair but I doubt I ever will so I’m cool with it now. The first time I went to LA it was with my African American friend who had long dreads. Super cool guy. I wish I had more black friends. I don’t floss because I snap it every time I try. I’ve never been arrested or charged with an offense. I can play More Than Words on the guitar but can’t sing it at the same time. I sold my cut-offs for $1000 at a charity auction. I was the lead singer in an air band in high school. The audience didn’t know we were faking it until word got out the next day. I would like to make money based solely on my artistic abilities. I’ve never purposely damaged someone else’s property. I try to never go to bed angry at my wife. I always put toilet paper on the seat of public toilets. When I was a kid I squeezed a kitten too hard and it shit on me. I liked the movie Daredevil but won’t let on to my friends who hated it. I can’t act to save my life.

We laugh about it now. The longest route I’ve ever driven is from Regina, Saskatchewan to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia (approx. 4225 km or 2620 miles). I gave up teaching myself to play the fiddle cuz I was trying to learn it for the wrong reasons. I’d like to learn to play the bagpipes. I watch movies on my iPhone at work when it’s slow.
