You, and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men, it is said, have seen angels, but I have

About Me


Life is not measured by the breaths you take, it is measured by the moments that take your breath away...LEARN IT! LIVE IT!
WhoWhatWhereWhenWhy?
I am...creative, spontaneous, playful, passionate, imaginative, curious, humorous, sensual, intelligent, generous, highly affectionate, spiritual, compassionate, sensitive, loving, courageous, nurturing, assertive, confident, and sometimes fiery.
I am the little fish swimming upstream. On my way to making beautiful changes. It's all about balance – a balance between Dharma, Artha, and Kama. I'm learning more and more that achieving this balance is a lifelong process.
I have a constant thirst for adventure, a lust for art and every aspect of it, and my outlook on this world is that of a practical but romantic one. Drawn into the visual world that surrounds me, I see beauty in everything and I like people to see me for what’s beyond the surface. Ever evolving and never the same, I along with my creations am merely a painting, willing to be observed to express something bigger than that of first impression. This is my creative outlet; my true passion and soul expression.
I fiercely admire loyalty, free-spirits, kind hearts, persistence, and selfless power. I love observation, catching people dancing or singing to themselves...those little fleeting moments of uninhibited happiness. I am inspired by every beautiful and ugly thing in existence but don’t care much for negativity or pessimists. Coming to the realization and understanding on why we are who we are, and how wonderfully diverse we all are, would make "psychic vampires" like 73893417 disappear. What I wouldn’t give for someone to catch this drift.

Or does it?
Amuse me. Entice me. Inspire me!...;)

in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "WOW!! What a ride!" ~Unknown

Maybe then it would stop.

~Klaus Kinski
♥ WORD TO THE WISE ♥
I will post all idiotic messages received in bulletins with id's attached-these include extremely rude, crass, and/or sexually explicit messages. I suggest you not send these, unless of course you enjoy public humiliation.

"Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great."
~Comte DeBussy-Rabutin

There are moments that mark your life, moments when you realize nothing will ever be the same again, & time is divided into two parts, before this & after this, now sometimes you can feel such a moment coming, that's the test, or so I tell myself at times like these: strong people keep moving forward, no matter what they're gonna find. And just like the Phoenix, they rise from the ashes.
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

“There are four questions of value in life...
What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.”....
“The only gossip I'm interested in is things from the Weekly World News - 'Woman's bra bursts, 11 injured'. That kind of thing.”
~Johnny Depp

I'd like to meet:


...DERO...
AND...
Those who'd sail the seas of mayhem with me, and the gypsies who'd wave hello from the shore. Fellow artists, photographers, designers, art enthusiasts and conversationalists. Anyone that actually makes an effort to communicate every once in a while. Believe it or not, I can actually carry on a pretty decent conversation and I don't bite...well, not unless you want me too. ;)

'A Dream Within a Dream'

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow --
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand --
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep --while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

-- Edgar Allan Poe

Books:



Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer by Patrick Süskind (Das Parfum in German)

A phenomenal read riviting from beginning to end. With extroadinary prose and intense characterzation. Perfume points out how we are victims of our own instincts and physical desires, and that our arrogance of anthropological superiority is an illusion. I highly recommend.

Heroes:

Artists. Dreamers. Seekers. True Warriors. Anyone with enough balls to buck the status quo and all those brave enough to journey behind the illusion in search of truth.
