There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it

About Me

I like quotes.

"Whatever will happen will happen, but choose your companions with care. Choose them because you like to look at them and you like the sound of their voices, and they have profound secrets in them that you wish to know. In other words, choose them because you love them. Otherwise you will not be able to bear their company for very long."
-Marius ("The Vampire Lestat")
"Indifference and negligence may do more harm than open hostility." - Albus Dumbledore

"There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it." -Oscar Wilde

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." -Dr. Seuss

"When you need me, but do not want me,
then I will stay.
When you want me, but do not need me,
then I have to go." -Nanny McPhee

My Interests

Friends, family, movies, music, reading, archaeology, history, mythology, sports (more playing them than watching them or is it the other way around? Although, don't ask me name and stats...don't care for them), and anything and everything within the realms of the unreasonable.

By the way, do U Travel?

I'd like to meet:


What can I say? I don't like to discriminate, but I do tend to lean towards people fixated on world domination...tomorrow.

Music:

Here I don't have favorites. Don't get me wrong. I love music! But it's hard for me to choose one singer, group, genre, etc...over another. It all depends on where I am, with whom, the day's events and the mood I'm in.

Movies:

Fight Club, Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended), A Clockwork Orange, Run Lola Run, Trainspotting, The Maltese Falcon, León: The Proffesional, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Breathless, Stargate, "Sex, Lies and Videotape", Hackers, Adaptation, Se7en, The Lion King, Star Wars (Episodes IV-VI), Un chien andalou, Back to the Future Trilogy (...yes, I like them by threes), The Breakfast Club, Match Point, Belle de Jour, The Shawshank Redemption, S.O.B., "Love, Actually", Beauty and the Beast, Vertigo, Mulholland Drive, Dead Poets Society, Secretary, Natural Born Killers...Well, to tell you the truth, I'll give any movie a chance, but these are the ones that spring to mind.

Television:

Right now I don't follow TV too much. Especially since most of the shows I liked have been terminated or I haven't found the time to keep a steady TV schedule (I don't like missing episodes). So I go for the getting my friends to lend me the seasons they have purchased...for which I don't find time to watch in a "marathonic" fashion.

Books:

Love the Harry Potter books. I also like Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde...Started reading the Anne Rice novels, wont judge her until I read a couple more, although I love her Sleeping Beauty trilogy. Mists of Avalon is a favorite. Enjoyed the DaVinci Code, but think Angels and Demons is way better and, unless Dan Brown finds another formula, there's no use in reading any other of his books...Just like Paolo Cohello, read The Alchemist, read them all. The Perfume by Patrick Süskind is another new favorite. Also anything mythology and folklore, especially European, is a passion.

Heroes:

The Voices in my head.

Changes...

...such a small word that implies so many different things. Still, all its uses involve something no longer being what it was. From the moment of our conception (who knows if from before) we experienc...
