About Me

I like me and I am the greatest (but I'm actually pretty shy about it). Any questions?Latest adventure: relaxing

My Interests

Random global travel, creative recipes, emotive piano music, Tae Kwon Do, Haidong Gumdo....pretty much anything relatively legal once. I'm all for random adventure.

I'd like to meet:

Il Divo, Dalai Lama, Rachel Ray, and Bobby Deen.

Music:

Katie Melua - "Shy Boy", Sinatra - "Fuilles Muertes", Elvis - "Can't Help Falling in Love", Il Divo - "Isabel" "Por Ti Sere", Phil Collins - "Groovy Kind of Love", Peter Cetera - "Glory of Love", Beach Boys, Aerosmith, U2, Transiberian Orchestra, Pussycat Dolls, David Gray, Oasis, Andrea Boccelli, Bob Marley, Sean Paul, Shaggy, Uncle Kracker, Jimmy Buffet, Lauren Hill, Saving Jane, Chris Daughtry, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Asian relaxation music, and the soundtracks to Crouching Tiger and Charlie's Angels. As long as it's not screaming (except for my brother), off-key, bluegrass, or southern gospel, I'll listen to it.

Movies:

"La Bella Mafia", "Godfathers", "Tristan & Isolde", "Pride & Prejudice", "Pirates...", and several more.

Television:

I don't have a tv.

Books:

I read too much to list what I'm reading at the moment. Favorites: Ulysses by James Joyce, A Magic Mountain by Tomas Mann.

Heroes:

People who go from being victims and survivors to just being normal again.
