About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
A Child of Starry Heaven. I love being in the outdoors especially the river. I also like rainy days when it's nice and quiet and I can put in a good movie or read a good book or spend time with someone I enjoy being around. Life is easy to me. I do not complicate things. There is no so-called "drama" in my life. I walk away from such things or negativity in general. I choose to do right. The rest comes easy.
I AM HUMAN AND I AM NOT WITHOUT FLAWS. I try to learn from my mistakes.
Below is 100 of my most favourite songs. I've always been able to 'Profile' a person by the music they listen to. It's a way to get to know them although this is hardly the only way to get to know someone. Music is EVERYTHING to me. I myself record, write and perform music. My musical project "Harvest Rain" can be found in my friends list. But in the "Playlist" box below (and the "Playlist" box above) are the songs that I have kept with me throughout my life. It IS the soundtrack to my life. It's a good way to get to know me.

My Interests

Estrella de la Manana - EL -, Estrella de la Tarde - ELLA - , Animal rights, relieving pain and suffering, seeking, rivers, trails, overcast days, graveyards, meeting people I relate to, avoiding ignorance which is the only sin because all so-called sins derive from this seed, antiques, decorating my home with old things, flowers, lost homelands (Thule, Hyperborea, Paradesha, the City of Dawn)

I'd like to meet:



I'd like to meet: Those that follow their heart of hearts, what they know to be "Right" no matter what excuses they may come to falsely believe in. Those with intelligence, kindness, morale and a beautiful soul.

God through Synesthesia

To accept fate means to be true to oneself no matter the 'Ultimate Price' or 'Finality' we have. There comes a time in one's life when altars and ritual itself are not needed to be with God/Gods ...

An Ode to Venus (for the Walkers of Dawn)
