I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm in love with music, science, photography, books/philosophy and am living a life of constant frustration resulting from my incompetence in deciding which one of the above I should devote more of my time to...And then I end up browsing the internet. Yes, I'm sad.http://www.myspace.com/tomeraband/ http://www.silverkeyphotography.co.uk/ *** *** *** ***For an even better idea of my inner turmoil here are some of my favourite quotes:‘...to create this pleasure at once so sensual and abstract, to translate into vibrating air this non-language whose meanings are forever just beyond reach, suspended tantalisingly at a point where emotion and intellect fuse...’(Ian McEwan about writing music - from the book Amsterdam)"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark." (Michelangelo)"A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.""The meaning of things lies not in things themselves, but in our attitude towards them."(Antoine de Saint-Exupery)

My Interests

Human & animal rights...having a go at people ordering veal at my table...getting worked up about religious fundamentalism...getting lost in ancient forests, orchards in bloom, museums, galleries etc (my sense of direction is dreadful)...http://www.acgrayling.com/ http://www.secularism.org.uk/ http://www.newscientist.com/ http://www.peta.org/
