My Interests

I am currently working towards a graduate degree in International Business, but I try to find the time to get out once in a while:Cricket, fencing (although it's been years!), tennis, football, reading, languages (I fluently speak French, Italian, German, Japanese, and Spanish.) Although I absolutely love everything that comes with living in London, I really enjoy traveling and have gotten quite used to canvassing airports abroad (I'm looking at you, Cairo Int'l Airport!) My most recent trips abroad include a safari trip in Kenya/Tanzania; Johannesburg, South Africa; Hong Kong, China; Montreal, Canada; Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; and Seattle, Washington USA.I suppose that my quirks center mostly around my ironing my clothes; I absolutely detest wrinkled anything, so I am seemingly always ironing or having things sent out to be pressed and so on. I guess everyone must have at least one oddity about them!My childhood passed while attending several private boarding schools in Great Britain, so maybe that is where I picked up that...err.. compulsion for neatness. ;) I am also addicted to my Blackberry... although isn't everyone these days?

I'd like to meet:

A FEW WORDS ABOUT ME... well, first let me begin by saying that I am deeply in love with Isabelle and that I want nothing but the best for her. However, for some peculiar reason, the novelist Jessica Swan thinks otherwise. I think it is wholly unfair of Ms. Swan to make such wild and inflammatory accusations of me in that disgusting tell-all book. It is flagrantly irresponsible and completely outrageous. Isabelle, if you are reading this, I don't know how Jessica Swan got a hold of those letters I wrote you and, quite honestly, I don't care. What I want you to know is this: I am deeply, deeply sorry if I ever hurt you. Please know that, my angel! I only want what is best for you. It is my opinion that Jessica Swan's "Dear Isabelle" should never have been published. Swan has irreconcilably destroyed my reputation here in London and most of Europe, and for that I will never forgive that woman.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::As for me, I reside in London, England, which is where I was born and raised. I am a year away from obtaining my graduate degree in International Business at a university here in London.::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::I just want Isabelle to return to my calls so I can explain myself.::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::

Music:

I enjoy listening to opera immensely (especially Tosca because Puccini's music deeply moves me), classical music (mostly Chopin, Bach, and Brahms.) I am only just now beginning to listen to Vivaldi and have not yet formed an opinion :) My absolute favorite piece is Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3. As for modern work, I guess my vote goes to Nous Non Plus. Their music is nicely done.

Movies:

There is no movie that is superior to "Shine". It is powerfully moving and I also listen to the soundtrack quite often. It's quite intense.

Books:

A few recent favourites: Chopin in Paris: The Life and Times of the Romantic Composer by Tad Szulc, Barthes by Barthes, Studies in the Way of Words by Paul Grice, and How to Do Things with Words by J. L. Austin.

If it were up to me....

then you would know the pain that you caused me, Isabelle.  How else can I make you know that pain than by causing it myself?  I see no other option, do you?  Otherwise you will just co...

What the bloody hell? Jessica Swan is moving to London?  Is that some sort of a joke?  What's next Isabelle, are you going to hop skip jump on a plane over here too? This amuses me.-J...

in case you’re wondering...

I will not remain in London for Halloween... I will, in fact, be in Seattle.  My trip to the States will hopefully last at least one week.  I do hope things can get straightened out.

I absolutely am appalled

at the ease with which you have destroyed me, Isabelle.  You call it a book that helped you get through "whatever" you needed to get through, but aren't you just being a bit dramatic?  Isn't...

It is my understanding that

you do not even know what you really want, Isabelle.  What about the emerald ring?  Did you somehow forget about that? And what about the letter I wrote you ....

you are an adult. you are not a child, isabelle.  you need to take RESPONSIBILITY for what you did.  I know you are reading this.  and tell your friends that i don't give a bloody hell ...

So you didn't think

that i would ever get a hold of your new number, eh?  This is a serious matter, Isabelle.  We need to talk.  So just pick up the phone and let that be that. I don't know why you are mak...

So you disconnected your phone?

no matter.  I already got a hold of your new number, Isabelle.  It's not that easy to get rid of me, is it?  Let's be adults about this.  I just want to talk.  I know you chec...
