Those who dance are considered insane by those who cannot hear the music - George Carlin







Jonathan Migneault was never very good at making people dance. He never learned an instrument and has remained rhythmically challenged throughout his life. Those minor problems, however, didn't stop him from "enjoying" his music in public. Though he has lost count of the number of girls he has terrorized with his "moves"; Jonathan hasn't let it get to his head. The music was bigger than little things like dignity, self-respect, love and the gentle touch of a woman.

Then one day, Jonathan became enlightened in that Isaac Newton sorta way: If he could make those around him crazy about music, he would no longer be a repulsive social outcast. "It's kind of hard to pick out the craziest dude/dudette from the loony bin," he thought. Thus, he embarked on his perilous mission. He would not rest until every man, woman and child on the planet lost any semblance of social restraint.

His goal came within reach the day he met Calum Marsh at Carleton University. Jonathan took pity on the young Calum (or was it the other way around?) and offered him his friendship. In turn, Calum offered Jonathan a spot on a nifty website called Mocking Music. Jonathan accepted the offer. His whole life he only had one viable skill: he could write real good. Now, he would use this skill to share his love of music.

One day, when all of society resembles a Spike Jonze film, Jonathan will sit back with a smile. Because only then will his mission be complete.
