I am here for Friends

About Me

Well, if I only knew. The journey has been a great one so far but the destination still remains a mystry worth wondering about. Some times though, I feel that the path is exshaustive one and all I want to do is to sit by the well of cool water and not move. But I do move and I do move on, because I like movement and can't wait to see what's at the next turn of life. Curious, adventurous, dreamer, nostalogic, romantic, logical, political, social, active are some of the adjectives I would use for me. Don't mind the contradictions, they work. I don't show it much but I do like attention a lot. what else.. I am a bad liar and a good listner. If you still want to know more.....

My Interests

People and persons. I like talking about politics and society (may be even doing something some times). I like knowing more about literture, art and music...like aimless hangouts with friends... like creative energy...like the outdoors and I love to make shapes out of the floating clouds.

I'd like to meet:

"Beautiful people"

Music:

I am not very knowledgeable about music to dislike any. But still got to say, what's up with pop now a days! I just can't stand the pop up "musicians" who deliver to us sex romped junk with no soul or fury? Give me a break! I respect the music that has substance. I float with a good melody. I always have my ears open for a good tune from distant times or worlds. I like to head bang with the music that rocks. I like to dance my nights away with music that has rythom and beat. I like to get lost in trippy music (how ever you want to define trippy is up to you). I like a good poetry accompanied by accustic guitar. And I always enjoy live music over any other form of it.

Movies:

movies - the wonder of our time! I have always wondered what they are! Are movies result of making art industrialized or making industry artistic? Don't know! I love them nevertheless. I really like the kind that keeps you thinking even days after you have watched it. I have to admit though, I throughly enjoy epic action movies as well. And don't tell any one, I do even enjoy romantic comedies.

Television:

You know that Alfred Nobel had left his money for the Nobel prize to ease his guilt about discovering the dynamaite. I think the inventors of TV would have done the same if they had only lived until this century. I prefer to have my back turned towards it, if I find myself in room with TV. There are some good shows out there, I know and TV can be cool sometimes but I rather take my chances on something else.

Books:

[it seems] as if you believe I had copied from some book, or at least that I had rendered the substance of something I had read. After all, that is, in a nutshell, [going to be your impression]. You seek to bring out this point in form as little concrete as possible because you entertain the opinion that I would mind an opinion which, so far as I myself know, is not true. Though I have summoned all knowledge of myself, Ihave not been able to admit that I have let myself be swayed too much by any one book.... I admit that probably everything indirectly stems from books, for what are books for except to enlighten and instruct man about things that are unclear to him? It is possible that I am very sensitive to books, their comments and deductions. This you can judge better than I, for in certain respects it is easier to know someone else than oneself. - ?????

Heroes:

There are some people that I really admire, respect and even envy. but heroes? I am in search of one.

Knowing your business vs. sucker for love

On Love and Revolution

Love in its turn swells the illusion of unity. Most of the time it gets fucked up and miscarries. Its songs are crippled by fear of always returning to the same single note: whether there are two of u...
