************************************************************
SIDE NOTE:
INCLUDE A MESSAGE WHEN YOU ASK TO ADD ME AS A FRIEND.

I READ THE PROFILE OF EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO SENDS ME A FRIEND REQUEST. This means that IF I CANNOT READ YOUR PROFILE, READ ABOUT YOU AND SEE WHO YOU ARE then I probably will NOT add you.
If you have so much crap on your profile that it crashes my browser or takes a year and a half to load, or if you hide behind cute drawings while having no actual pictures of yourself I can see, or you say little to nothing about yourself, then I will not add you. It comes to this: I am right here for you to see and decide if you want to establish good, easy communication. You have to do the same. Be up front. Be yourself.
I probably will NOT post your comment for your show or club or anything else. I use MySpace to COMMUNICATE, not to advertise your website or your product or your club UNLESS I personally solicit your product / service / event and I think it kicks ass.
If you DO see a Club comment on my profile it is because I personally think that club is awesome and I will probably be there.
EXCEPTIONS:
If you are GENUINELY someone who is COOL and has SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH ME - i.e. Fetish, BDSM, Fetish Fashion, D/s, Sushi, The Secret, etc etc etc, or at the least if you are a Total Stranger who wants to post ARTWORK or Poetry or SOMETHING FUN AND COOL TO READ OR SEE that is NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT, then I MIGHT still post your comment.
Most people already know I NEVER permit "thanks for the add" - if you comment make it INTERESTING - a cool picture, a poem...heck even a limmerick! LOL
MY FRIENDS: You know I love you all. :D
Now back to our regularly scheduled Deep Immersion Into WONDERLAND.... ;) __________________________________________________________ ************************************************************ __________________________________________________________
"Know Thyself" -- the greatest advice ever given in the history of civilization (Oracle at Delphi, Ancient Greece)
I'm also fond of:
"Follow your Bliss" -- Joseph Campbell
and
"The most important thing to Want is to Know What You Want" -- a buddy of mine philosophizing late one night in Amsterdam
and
"Intelligence is the Modern Aphrodisiac" -- Timothy Leary
A world traveler, writer, performance artist, educator, event producer, Lifestyle Dom, and Peak Performance Specialist. My story and adventures would fill a novel or two (someday). I have performed in front of more than 1000 people. I love getting so wrapped up in my writing that I just can't stop and next thing I know it's 6am. I have been deeply in love several times and I am a better person for each and every moment. I enjoy Exuberant Romance when it finds me - yes even in the middle of the most Hardcore BDSM Lifestyle. Head in the Clouds, Feet on the Ground. I earned my earrings in the traditional sense by traveling across the equator more times than I can count, and I am far from finishing my adventures. The world is a magnificent place. I have seen 1000 things that would blow your mind...and I intend to see 10,000 more.
__________________________________________________________
Being Dominant is my "Satori," a Japanese word meaning “Deeply Fulfilling Art Form,” which is to say Lifestyle Dominance comes naturally to me and is a genuine expression of who I am, as are my reasons for being a Bondage Expert. Check out my other profile here on MySpace, HANUMAN, for more info on further, more personal BDSM and Fetish elements within my life:

The BLOG at HANUMAN is much more about my personal thoughts and musings if you'd like a Deeper Glimpse into the World of Arcane.... ;-)

__________________________________________________________
I am pretty much What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get as I shamelessly pursue the ultimate goal of enjoying and appreciating every possible minute of my life. I act with integrity and I gravitate towards those who do the same. In my personal life I have no time for low-integrity people, people who have no sense of honor, or people whose word means nothing. When I give My Word it is Golden.
I thrive in heat and humidty but I also like getting FAR away from civilization by heading into the FAR North, like inside the Arctic Circle (where, by the way, I have seen what I consider to be theee coolest thing in existence - the Aurora Borealis. Sure, if you live in Norway its no big deal, but for the rest of us.... --**--) !!! :D
I am doing my best to try to live on Sushi -- there is one photo of me in Japan about to eat the so-called "DEADLY POISONOUS Fugu" blowfish for the first time. It tasted like chicken. I must be part dolphin because when you throw raw fish in front of me I become very happy.
I PRIZE my sense of humor. Laughter Is Life. You'll find me at a Comedy Club often enough (in the audience that is). There are few finer moments in the world than laying back with my slave at the end of the day as we laugh our asses off together.
Since childhood I have been wickedly Nocturnal. I am as much a genuine creature of the night as anyone or anything. Quite honestly I am naturally alive and awake until 4-6am. I don't try to be that way; it is just the way I have always been. The sun coming up almost instantly makes me sleepy. I love that feeling when your body just won't let you keep your eyes open anymore and you naturally drift into a deep and peaceful sleep. As a little kid I was the one with the flashlight under the covers reading comics long after the P's were sleeping. I wear the darkest sunglasses money can buy.
I've always had INTENSE Dreams, in full color, with complex story lines and usually most of my 5 senses involved ever since I was very small. I think of my dreams like a free movie at night, whether it's a comedy, a drama, or a horror flick. I dream a lot about utopias, mountain lakes, pine forests, twilight skies, spy stories, and awesome parties.
..

My Interests

Scuba Diving, Skydiving, Hang Gliding, Skiing, Martial Arts (both studying and training others...all time fave martial art: Capoeira from Brazil), Movies (lots), Dancing, SUSHI, Traveling, Learning foreign languages, Relaxing with a cup of gourmet coffee, Laughing until my sides hurt, Getting rich, Meeting cool and interesting people, Soaking in hot springs, Hiking, Writing, Laying in a hammock on a hot day and Reading a really good book, Drinking fresh coconut juice on a Tropical Beach in the South Pacific, Horseback riding through the sand and surf…to name a few.

I also truly enjoy teaching people things in general that enrich their lives. This is why I have become a Peak Performance Specialist (a kind of Life Coaching), because it seriously fulfills me to watch a person grow and become more than they were the day before, to gain self-esteem and self-confidence, to set and achieve their goals. My background is so wide and varied that I am able to guide people in an enormous number of ways, and I bring this all together to focus a person on whatever it takes to get them up to "their own next level."

And of course Bondage, BDSM, D/s, Role Play, Fetish Fashion, Fetish Parties, Nightclubs and Nightlife in general! ;-)

...and I eat Shakespeare with a spoon.

Just getting into Ballroom dancing (Waltz, Tango, Rhumba, etc) and West Coast Swing.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is cool, artistic, smart, well-spoken, inventive, and most of all people who like taking the time to maintain a happy and positive attitude, even when the sh*t seems to be hitting the fan - THAT speaks of INTEGRITY. People with a highly developed sense of Honor, Tact and Propriety. Obviously also people into Bondage, D/s, S&M and / or Fetish Fashion who approach it all with a HEALTHY attitude (i.e. it is a way to Grow, to become Stronger, to Expand Yourself - it is NOT about just being an a**hole or venting or actually harming anyone).

Young or Old, Male or Female does not matter, although because I have something of an NC-17 existence it is very unlikely I will add you as a friend if you are under 18, sorry.

ESPECIALLY like to meet globe-trotters like myself who enjoy sharing info on the cool hotspots and the most beautiful or amazing places you've been to in the world, and I am always up for trading info on where the best Fetish Scenes are in the world.

************************************************************ ****************************************

Music:

When I am stuck in traffic nothing beats Classical. I think Mozart was a mega-super genius, and the first CD I ever bought was Beethoven's Symphony 6. These days I listen to A LOT of Trance, more specifically a lot of pop-trance (songs) and dance music (LOVE the nightlife!). At my own clubs I ask my DJ's to spin about 120-140 BPM, with 145 max. Also into Celtic, Rock (LOTS), Gothic, Industrial, Spanish Guitar and more.

My "Desert Island Lone CD" would be Massive Attack's MEZZANINE -- what haven't I done to that music? (*knowing smile*)
My Desert Island MIX would be Massive Attack, Delerium, and Mozart -- mix that in your brain and get back to me. (*grin*)

Movies:

I have to REALLY like a movie to own the DVD - I have about 100 DVDs. Liked THE FOUNTAIN and THE PRESTIGE quite a bit. Loved MIRRORMASK. Once set aside 14 hours to watch the entire extended version set of all 3 LORD OF THE RINGS films. Huge MATRIX fan too. Seriously impressed by SPIRITED AWAY. Liked all three BLADE movies. Laughed my ass off to DODGEBALL, and SHREK is my role model. Liked the original STAR WARS movies but not the new ones very much (if only Jar Jar Binks had been modeled after Jeff Spicolli...). I have seen GROSSE POINT BLANK and WIZARDS (Bakshi) too many times to count. All time favorite movie? Probably MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. Big CHAPLIN and MARX BROS fan too. All I care about is if I was ENTERTAINED -- if the answer is yes then it was worth my $10.

OK People, LISTEN UP: Tired of your own negative thinking? Go Buy/Borrow/Download THE SECRET (the movie). IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND.
www.thesecret.tv

Television:

Don't watch a lot of TV. The only news source I trust is The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart (because he finds humor in it all). My TV tends to stay on Comedy Central. Liked Monk, Family Guy, Brak, Farscape, La Femme Nikita, Highlander, Charmed, etc in the past. Have to admit I have become a fan of the new Dr Who (wasn't in the past).

Books:

Most influential on my life: ILLUSIONS and JONATHON LIVINGSTON SEAGULL by Richard Bach, as well as EXCUSE ME YOUR LIFE IS WAITING by Lynn Grabhorn.
Currently reading: FANTASTIC VOYAGE by Ray Kurzweil, and THE MULTI-ORGASMIC MAN by Mantak Chia. Next on the list: MUSASHI. Just finished THE EVOLUTION OF DESIRE - hard to read (pure science) but WOW!!! Loved HITCHHIKER's GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, liked DA VINCI CODE -- I think FOCAULT'S PENDULUM by Umberto Eco was extremely similar and much better, however I totally agree with the message of the loss of M-F balance in Da Vinci.
Too many favorite books to list here, but Neil Gaiman's NEVERWHERE rocked, as did GOOD OMENS (you will laugh your butt off) and AMERICAN GODS. Tend to like David Brin style Sci-Fi, and lately books / media on seriously positive thinking and actually achieving the goals you set.

Heroes:

Lance Armstrong -- he is truly super-human, no joke. Check out the studies on his physiology. Not only did he win the Tour De France SEVEN years in a row, but he is a living example of Pure Will Power applied to changing your own life, and overcoming extreme odds. Add to that his ability to laugh at himself (he makes fun of it all in Dodgeball). That is one seriously inspirational dude.

And Shrek. Because Ogres Are Like Onions.
