About Me

animal whisperer. human enigma. a puzzel not to be solved. lover of languages and music. like mae west "i've been things and seen places". soothsayer. fortune teller. space admiral.

My Interests

SHUT DOWN HUNTINGTON LIFE SCIENCES. STOP ALL PRODUCT TESTING (and a lot of UNECESSARY MEDICAL TESTING) on ANIMALS. FREE LEONARD PELTIER! FREE LORI BERRENSON! FREE JONATHAN POLLARD! FREE THE SHAC 7! Free all the political prisoners in China, Iran and elsewhere where people have been horrifically victimized. LANGUAGES (ach.. cadé mar a deir mé? álainn agus inchinni) i speak a lot of languages - and play a bunch of instruments (guitar, bass, drums, piano) ís maith liom: ag canadh in gaeilge, ag rince ceilis, riding horses anywhere in the world. MOST IMPORTANT: spreading good vibes all around the world and saving our mother earth and the human race. sending peace and blessings to all myspace friends. sudoku 16 grid. the number 23. visitors from other galaxies and the ships they travel on.

I'd like to meet:

great thinkers, composers, scholars and for a brief time am interested in other worldly creatures. of course the man that came and went the night @ shoot the crows. not francis though he was quite "an fear alainn" ar scor ar bith ach nios sean. an fior fear eirinacch - ard, alainn, leis an gaeilge acu. bhi an fear ar an innis thorai ach bhi an samhraidh seo chaite. taim in an anois. ca bhfuil tu fein?
