Secret ingredient to better tasting pasta: extra virgin olive oil and green onions. Why is it that the virgins always make everything taste better?
This was an interesting quote my sister had mentioned to me: Women need to feel close to the person they love to become intimate. Men become intimate to get closer to the person they love.
The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.
You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.
What Are The Keys To Your Heart?
You Are Sunrise
You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary.
You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward.
Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts.
All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it should be.
What Time Of Day Are You?
Anyone. Anyone can be a student and anyone can be a teacher. I love to TALK and learn, and I enjoy deep conversations about everything! I'd like to meet anyone intellectual who enjoys conversing ideas and thoughts without sounding like a blow hard. Anyone who shares the same love and respect for music, or anyone who is fair minded and loves life in general. And if you know what sus chords and chromaticism is, message me!

I hate top friends! Tis unfair to everyone I have on my friends' list! I love 'em all equally!
Music mood at the moment:
I tend to have a wide range of tastes in music, from classical to punk rock, and that crazy, atonal and melodic-less avant garde, including ethinic music from Latin America and the far East. However, my heart leans towards romantic classical and jazz because that's what I play. I especially love music that comes from the soul. I can'st stand pop, dumb rock music (today's rock), rap, and I especially hate country!
I have a lot of favorite bands I enjoy listening to! The list keeps growing from time to time, but I have so many, I'll spare the d's.
Movies are okay, but you'll rarely me spend my eight bucks. You'll most likely see me spend more on a live performance. Better interaction with performers live than on the screen.
Six Feet Under, CSI, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Cash Cab, Without a Trace, Frasier, Seinfield, and What Not to Wear.
Spoon River Anthology, Classic American novels, American Gods, the Sevenwater series, Newsweek (not a book), Times (not a book), and more.
By far, Effortless Master is the best... my music bible.
Heroes are someone who rise up to the challenge, never ask for anything back, often seek mediation, and never, ever give up. People like John and Paula Beard, which I owe so much in setting my path toward music, to the people I love who never gave up on me, and the Dali Lama, in his wisdom in seeking medium ground for every conflict that arises.
