I am here for Dating and Friends

About Me

i like to make music, take photos, shoot videos and write. i make music under the names 'elegant bachelor' and 'ducky star'. apart from that, i'm trying to teach myself mathematics so i can understand science.
i enjoy things like outdoor cooking, modern art, the films of akira kurosawa and andrei tarkovsky, clean sunlight, contrasty photographs, sufi writings and buddhist teachings, reading shakespeare aloud, chocolate and candy, chinese tavern poetry and japanese haiku, good friends, music with complex structures, virtuosity on the piano, japanese woodcuts and german engravings, dancing like mad, smoking high-quality flavoured pipe weed, scientific curiosity, choral brotherhood, chanting at temples and other things like that.
