It's a sad and beautiful world... Roberto Benigni

About Me

It's been told that I'm sensitive, intelligent, caring, witty & an overwhelming challenge!! Not to mention, a little bit cagey! Go Figure!! I have goals that give me direction & many dreams yet to fulfill... Need to learn to ski ~ snowboarding is kewl, but OUCH... Need 2 travel to France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Rio & around the tip of S. America, up to the S. Pacific yet and find that 'pearl' in my oyster... My sense & sensibility are challenged by my penchance to not sit by and let the world happen around me... I love my work and can't imagine being satisfied doing anything else... it allows me to deal with others on a REAL, hence much deeper, level (superficial people suk & have no place on this earth... well, maybe other superficial individuals wouldn't mind their droll... eww... so let them enjoy each other... live and let live, I say...) Love spontaneity & can go out at 12:00am just for espresso & cannoli or after realizing fave local act has just hit the stage! I'm fiercely independent, don't necessarily see myself alone forever ~ BUT am prepared for whatever beholds me... que sera sera (look it up!)

My Interests

.. Read my VisualDNA ™ Get your own VisualDNA™

Just walking 'round the city, waiting to come to!!! Finding solace in discovering that those who deserve revenge, a dish best served cold, have tasted and choked on it - ooops, doe'th I expos'eth too much'eth??? On the upside, love local music, stylin and profilin, thrill-seeking, scrumptious food with exquisite, hearty wine, exploring the mystiques of life, intense movies and books, scraping my fingers into the earth and getting filthy, discovering nature's treasures and MOST importantly - my beloved and adored children....

I'd like to meet:

Freud (well that's a no-brainer but he's dead! However, Jung may have had a better spin on us...) Isabella Rossellini, Audrey Hepburn and Mata Hari; Oh, Gustav Klimt and my paternal grandparents... (but they're dead too ~ maybe in another space and time... Poljubac, poljubac & Поцелуй, поцелуй)

Portishead ~ Glory Box

Royksopp - Sparks

TAWk ~ Deep N U

My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult ~ Dirty Little Secrets

Music:

LOVE IT!! Did I say ADORE IT???? Can I say more of it???? Music moves & shakes me... You know this when you consider what tunes to have played at your own funeral!!! Can be entertaining, soul-ripping or send powerful messages to the masses.... Isn't that a bit obvious with the multitudes of tunes & videos here!!!! Eclectic tastes, though - library spans Africa Unite to VNV Nation... Lately, British pop is enveloping me, as I'm here for the musical-taking! (Just NO COUNTRY or thrash metal... ARRGGHH... Johnny Cash and Elvis don't count...)

Movies:

Pulp Fiction~ Wild at Heart~ Down By Law (faves 1, 2 and 3) Dead Man~ Black Book~ Blue Velvet~ Fargo~ Goodfellas~ Godfather~ Reservoir Dogs~ Killing Zoe~ Kill Bill~ Fight Club~ Desperado Trilogy~ Coffee and Cigarettes~ Drop Dead Fred... Any thing produced / directed by Jarmusch, Lynch or Tarentino! Alas, the feminine side of me adores Breakfast at Tiffany's, but you didn't hear that here ~ this bird WON'T be caged!!

Television:

It's just a box... Quit cable when Soprano's went off the air - oh the problem when they returned??? Well now, seems life goes in circles, huh?

Books:

Anthology of racey classics entitled 'Smoking, Drinking & Screwing,' Vox, Blue Pastures, Even Dogs Go Home to Die, Catcher in the Rye, Windblown World: Journals of Kerouac, Anna Karenina, The Corner (what a blast- literally,) Jung's works, anything via Poe, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy or that enriches my mind or soul... got thru 1/2 of War and Peace... All-time fave of my youth ~ The Outsiders...

Heroes:

My father... only person ever known to me to offer exclusive, unconditional love (eventually)... what more can anyone ask for? May you RIP... Miss you more than any words will ever say... Volim Te Papa... It doesn't end when it ends, does it??
