My god....it's full of stars!

I'm the Tiananmen Square guy...

About Me

There was a little prince with a magic crown. An evil warlock kidnapped him, locked him in a a cell in a huge tower and took away his voice. There was a window with bars. The prince kept smashing his head against the bars hoping that someone would hear the sound and find him. The crown made the most beautiful sound that anyone ever heard. You could hear the ringing for miles and miles. It was so beautiful that people wanted to grab the air.

They never found the prince. He never got out of the cell. But the sound he made filled everything up with beauty.

My Interests

Art, writing, photography, literature, philosophy, stargazing on clear summer nights and pondering.

Demented rabbits!..

Expressing myself, and learning from others. Meeting new people and exploring life.

I like making mixed CDs.

Go here and check them out!

I'd like to meet:

Interesting, intelligent people.

Mark Twain; he might have been interesting to talk to, but he's dead. Interesting LIVE people. Fellow stargazers (or shoegazers too) , dreamers, creators... anyone open-minded and capable of starting conversation. A sense of style is always a plus.

Bunnies!

Bonus points if you know this quote
God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, [ie., everybody.] to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.

Music:

I have to agree with Nietzche, without music, life would be a mistake.I listen to a lot of Goth, Industrial, New Wave, Shoegaze, Punk or anything moody and richly layered, but I don't limit myself to just these styles. Good lyrics are important as well.
The Bolshoi, Bauhaus, NIN, Cocteau Twins, Ride, Curve, The Cure, Mogwai, Swervedriver, Lycia, My Bloody Valentine, The Waterboys, VNV Nation, Feindflug, Blue October, Adorable, Tones On Tail, Interpol, Dead Can Dance, Single Gun Theory, The Furure Sound of London,Explosions In The Sky, The Magnetic Fields, Caifanes, Ryuchi Sakamoto, Los Amantes de Lola, Echo And the Bunnymen, Mana, Love Is Colder Than Death, Cruxshadows, Switchblade Symphony, Siouxie and the Banshees, Black Tape for a Blue Girl... tons more...

Movies:

A Clockwork Orange, The Crow, Watership Down, Dracula, A Nightmare Before Christmas, Nightfall (the orginal version), The Quiet Earth, Bis ans Ende der Welt (Until the End of the World), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Basquiat, Mirror Mask, The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover, Donnie Darko... if I think of more I will update this

Television:

I rarely do this, but when I do watch the tube it's an odd mix of anime and educational stuff ( Discovery, History Channel,BBC shows etc.)

Amuse yourselves:

.. .. ..

Books:

I love to read. A Clockwork Orange, Insect Dreams: The Halflife of Gregor Samsa, Life of Pi,Flowers for Algernon, Watership Down, I Am Legend (absolutely the BEST piece of "vampire" lore ever)...Bukowski, Brautigan, Gaiman, Kafka, Wylde, Machiavelli, Nietzche, Camus, so many more... you'll just have to ask.
I admit I've read The DaVinci Code and liked it. :P. As of late I have been reading a lot of Paolo Coehlo as well.

Currently Reading:
The Man Who Made Lists: Love,Death Madness and the Creation of Roget's Thesaurus by Joshua Kendall and Mr. B. Gone by Clive Barker

Sunlight and sleep

I wonder if there is any medical correlation between sunlight and sleep? I know that sunbeams make me sleepy. It's just one of my many idiosyncrasies. But I had always assumed that it was a winter ...
