Music
Extremely varied, really depends on a song by song basis and I rarely just follow the crowd. I like some of everything from Beethoven and Respighi to DJ Tiësto, Linkin Park and Sick Puppies, including even almost totally obscure artists like Maarja-Liis and Heather Nova.
Movies
I just recently saw The Hoax and it was pretty good, especially the part where you get to see how hucksters were actually used as pawns by "the system". Makes you wonder if their really isn't an Illuminati???
Otherwise I really identify with "Partner" in "Paint Your Wagon" (1969).
Television
What's that?
Books
Who is John Galt? (This is a question in a book, do you know the answer?)
Heroes
Albert Einstein, Julius Caesar, Plato, Socrates, John F. Kennedy, Milton Friedman, Buckminster Fuller, W. Edwards Deming, Lennart Meri, Milton H. Erickson and anyone who follows their dreams and passions even if against the conventions of society.
About me: This little box is seeking lots of personal information. Suffice it to say that my personality, interests, quirks, lifestyle, etc. are uniquely my own. I prefer the road less traveled. I prefer smart to sweet. I prefer Baroque to Medieval. I admire the Shakespearean fool. If I come to the fork in the road, I will probably take it. Morals and values? Yes, I do have them, but they rarely coincide with what society tells me they should be. Most important to me? Friends, travel, music, the arts, food, and learning (not necessarily in that order).
I believe life is one great big adventure, and you should always look for something new and exciting every day. I try to see the good (or at least the humor) in everything -- and truly believe everything in life happens for a reason.
I love socializing, partying, meeting people old and new, art/design, music and self improvement; I am an avid photographer and filmmaker. I have a childlike fascination for the world I live in, and I find myself irresistibly drawn to others who share that wonder. I love life! :)
Open to any adventure, especially if it involves travel. My favorite travel destination is definitely Earth... yeah; I just can't get enough of it (86 countries so far).
My favorite cuisines are Asian, French, Italian and if the word 'sushi' is involved, I'll roll over like a German shepherd, and let you rub my tummy.
I like to go out to I like small and cozy bars, and wild and crazy coffee shops. I also like theater, concerts, opera, ballet, exhibitions, museums and parks.
Who I'd like to meet: Who would I like to meet? A few wealthy lonely European supermodels LOL,
or maybe someone like you! :)
Seriously, I'm looking for a partner in crime, preferably misdemeanors.
I just want to find a woman who’s spontaneous, and is fun to be with.
Where things go in three months or three years, I don’t know. Ultimately
I would like to find that "someone" that I can not only live with but
rather cannot live without. Our synergy together are where 1+1=11, not
just 2. She should be smart, cultured, silly, ridiculous, and sublime.
She should have a healthy appetite for life in all of its weirdness. She
should know how it feels to laugh so hard that KoolAid comes out her
nose; but once we wipe up the KoolAid, we should be able to have an
intense conversation about the meaning of life and our place in this
ridiculous world. She should know that Shakespeare is not a stage
direction in a caveman movie. She will know how to spell and might even
read the dictionary for fun. She will have a razor wit and despise
political correctness in all of its ugly manifestations. She loves to
learn and travel and dream. Are you out there, O mystery woman???
...
there is hesitancy,
the chance to draw back, always
ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of
initiative (and creation), there is one elementary
truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits
oneself the providence moves too. All sorts of things occur
to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A
whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in
one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings
and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt
would have come his way.
I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's
couplets: "Whatever you can do, or dream you can...
begin it. Boldness has genius, power,
and magic in it."
From the SCOTTISH HIMALAYAN EXPEDITION
by W. H. Murray, published by J. M. Dent & Sons Ltd. 1951
"Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never
taste of death but once."
- From the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare.
The only people
for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to
talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn,
burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like
spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue
centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww! - Jack Kerouac [1922-1969]
