About Me

* creative girl who is absolutely in love with urban life, concrete, music, mirrors and windows, vibrant colours on a background of grey.
* passionate about life, about the people that i hold dear to me
* passionate about beauty in its various forms (the ugly in beauty, the beauty in ugly)
* a mix of gentle and bold; everything that i care about is inside of me like a roaring fire.









oh! i've found an excellent clip on youtube... it's of the love affair between toto and elena in the film "cinema paradiso" - score by ennio morriccone, singer is dulce pontes... and of course, the film is directed by the great guiseppe tornatore:



My Interests

I'd like to meet:


* creative individuals who love this whirlwindy world as much as i do
* dancers, who move with passion to music, to a beat, to nothing but what just has to be expressed
* musicians, who interrupt silence with beautiful melodies
* storytellers, who weave sense into a sometimes nonsensical world and who give voice to what might otherwise never be said
* the politicians, to say enough spin, to encourage more conversation
* the suits, to tell them their importance is their biggest pretend
* the computer geeks who really love technology and hate what has become of it and how it is being used
* lifelong learners, to make a better world together, to demolish the walls of academic institutions (and employers) who foster a dependency on credentials that don't reflect one's ability to think, make decisions or present ideas that are not popular but could be beneficial to society or to one's workplace. to find out how and why education has become a drive-thru instead of a place where one can be challenged.
* those that hide in the shadows and those that find life in the spotlight
* freaks, geeks, nerds, punks, and all of those who exist in their uniqueness
