"I don't got that bad of a mouth, do I? F~*k sh^t @ss b$tch c&nt, shooby-de-doo-wa, Skibbedy-be-bop, a-Christopher Reeves Sonny Bono, skis horses and hittin some trees HEY!" ... I mentioned Tourette's Syndrome, right - I (admittedly) DO like Eminem, I'm a medical student, I dissect a dead body on my 'free' time, I am deeply fascinated with all of creation but primarily my own vessel, the human body, with yoga, acrobatics, trapeze, sex and whatever else you can do with Form, and with aquatic creatures. I grew up in Europe and attended a conversatory for 10 yrs, and though at the time I thought it to be an introduction to the tenets of tyranny and discipline, I am grateful to know music is an integral part of my being, of every being, it's a property of the universe, of physics, the way life is a property of the elements... I love UH what you call, robot rock? stoner metal, rock'n'roll to psytrance, singing, dancing, belly-, flamenco, hiphop, meringue, taking up tango... I really like doing handstands. Cartwheels, hand- and headstands are good for the heart, yoga, QiGong, oh yes, and sex, chemistry, neurology, nutrition, immunology, health, medicine, botany, flowers (vegetal genitals) n fruits, sex n babies... Food and instincts, drugs & poisons, nutritional sciences, toxicology and pharmacology, oceanography sustainability -the oceans are said to be in a state of COLLAPSE, marine biologists speak of "The Rise of Slime"- zoology, comparative physiology, biomechanics, mmmh sneezing, hiccuppin and, ah the best, yawning... bioelectromagnetism, electrophysiology, magnetophysiology - electromagnetophysiology?! Spark 'n' spice - firestorm, the thunderbolt of Zeus, the spark of life animated the elements into animals, and our brothers, fungi (fun guy) - us, the non-photosynthetic, non-producer c.o.n.s.u.m.e.r realm of being... Dog eat dog. (Fungi are cooler, some say the most enlightened lifeform - they eat dead people). My greatest hobby: life, through its ups and downs, thick through thin, water to blood, till death do us 'part (or perhaps the exact opposite), to ashes and dust... Stardust, the essence of life - Ziggy had something right after all... Did you know EVERY ELEMENT in your body heavier than oxygen was made inside a supernova??? Fluid dynamics, inside the body - the QI - and outside, watching the weather change, watching anything, just p a y i n g a t t e n t i o n ... LIFE, and its study - biology at all and any scale and any species, any planet, perhaps even Jupiter's icy moon Europa?? (I studied satellite pictures of Europa in search of ground on which to land a rover for some cool NASA-funded astrobiology project...). Life, whatever that really is, the ultimate expression of Shiva's cosmic dance - and if life is strictly defined as cellular, then what about viruses? Our own DNA has viral behavior!! What about BLACK HOLES??? Some say, some that is to say Steven Hawking amongst others, say or think that, considering a black hole is a point of zero volume and INFINITE density, then it is very likely that, wherever a black hole forms in this universe, then another universe forms elsewhere... Could all these universes be connected into a single universe? Isn't there only ONE universe anyway? Isn't this the same question of monotheism vs. polytheism?? THEN, could the universe(s) itself be... A-L-I-V-E?? Black hole formation as *universe sex*??? I figured out that an orgasm was not an explosion but an IMplosion - at least, for the woman that I am ... and so for men, it's (obviously) the inverse, an explosion. A black hole in one place, a big bang in another... (BIG BANG universe sex HAHAHAH) well, in the same place, really. It all, AAALL comes down to -p-e-r-s-p-e-c-t-i-v-e ... the trap of subjectivity, self-hood, unavoidable in this incarnation, on n on, and on n on... (who sings that? wait I know ERYKAH BADU)My greatest avoidances; arrogance aah the plague, assumptions, and casual deprecations. Scapegoating. And worse still: self-pity, self-victimization; fatalism, a weak excuse. WEAK. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. What hasn't killed me yet, has sure come close... I am a SURVIVOR. I favor observation over judgement. Thereby renouncing my Zoroastrian, fire-worshipping ancestry... the idea of judgement and divine retribution stemmed from Zarathustra, deemed by some to be the World's First Prophet, who first spoke of heaven and hell, the dichotomy (and everyone thinks it's Descartes. please.) and eschatology, 'the theoretical science of the end of the world' funny, no? I like that line from the film Harold and Maudd, she says smthg like "Live beyond right or wrong..." Do not judge, lest you be judged. I avoid moral judgement. And also, motor vehicles (unless it's a Mustang '67 or '68. And, goes without sayin, '69 will do). My greatest hobbies: loving what I do, and lovin doin' it; the human body; people, pianos; life-long learning, and mindfulness; cultivating perspicacity and pragmatism, to make the best navigational decisions in wading the waters of a quickly changing world (REMINDER: the ice caps are melting = after Global Warming, here COMES -.-.-. T.H.E. I.C.E. A.G.E.!.!.!... - that is, playing chess- with "l'air du temps"... Voting with my dirty dollar for grassroots sustainability, and somehow combating geoengineering it's NOT gonna WORK!!! ... Invest in green mutual funds. Or else, just burn whatever extra cash flows my way on SCUBA diving, to catch sight of underwater fairy lands, of sharks, sponges & seahorses, eels and jellies, crystal-clear aquablue lagoons of the South Pacific, the most colorful lands my eyes have ever seen -- before slimy algal blooms take care of sinking down the excess atmospheric CO2 for us... And I love seafood, what a hypocrit. (Notice how cartoons have evolved and succeeded in reflecting modern times... NO Cinderella bullshit for this generation. We suffered enough from being fed high expectations and lofty ideals... Instead we get a pathetic starving squirrel chasing a doomed hazelnut in "Ice Age"... I love that squirrel.) . . . . And finally, perhaps, aaahh yes rather definitely maybe, my greatest, longest, old-time and eternal playground love... : writing."Damn, how much damage can you do with a pen... ".. ..
