About Me

Check out MARCO PANDOLFI at Ground Zero on May 9th, 2008!!! art @ myspacefools.com
I am a lioness, and a kitten. I am a hurricane and a gentle breeze. I am an opera and a limerick. I am an epic novel and haiku. I am an enigma and a conundrum. A puzzle waiting to be solved...or not. art @ myspacefools.com

My Interests

Peter Moore's Positively O'Connell Street from Faoin SpeirLiterature, music, pre-Bolshevik Russian history,Irish history,good food & wine (but not too much of it), cats, impressionist paintings, the photographs of Cecil Beatonand Helmut Newton.And the terrifying and delightful insights of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.AND SOME DAYS, I REALLY MISS CHARLESTON!!!

I'd like to meet:

Who really knows that until you've met them? Expectations often lead to disappointments. The people I thought I most wanted to meet in life were not who I thought they were at all; and some of the people I treasure most are not people one would think I would want to know. So...having said that, I WOULD like to meet the incredibly talented BRIAN DELAURENTI, whose haunting and beautiful work is displayed below.

Music:

Music is as essential to quality of life as food and breath. My current favorite band is Arcade Fire; but I have very diverse musical tastes. I love Mozart and Verdi equally to the Clash and the Beatles, or Billy Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. I've recently developed rather a passion for Spanish guitar. And I LOVE the BLUES!

Movies:

My all-time favorite films are Le Dernier Combat, A Clockwork Orange, Fitzcarraldo, Apocalypse Now and North by Northwest. I really love anything directed by Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, Luc Besson or David Lynch.

Television:

EEEWWWW!!! When Andy Warhol made that comment about 15 minutes of fame, I never dreamt it would come to this.

Books:

Biographies, history, the poetry of William Butler Yeats and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the works of Oscar Wilde, Nabokov and Tolstoy.

Heroes:

My sisters Monnie, Cheri and Nora, my Da, B. B. King, and Randy Shughart.

what my family has taught me:

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words ...
