About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting


..


(O.K, make a statement here) I'm about everything an economically rational world is not. I live in a city, wandering like a ghost through corporate suited types, spiritual blanks, empty vessels propped up in a scaffold of stereotypical cues; a potentially unique individual reduced to a mere type of person (Jesus!, easy!, don't sound so fanatical, if they want a fanatical speech, they'll go to the Shining Path myspace profile).

My heart is drawn to the free spirited, both the introverts, who face inward and explore the infinite within that connects us all, and the extroverts, who project their energy outward, injecting the va va voom into the world. I appreciate older styles of clothes, which are so much more expressive than the homogenous dull crap that people allow themselves to wear now.

Can't stand modern fashion; prefer the styles of the 19th century and the 1920's 30's 40's and 50's of the 20th century. My values swing like a pendulum between the romantic (see blog) and the more rational of the enlightenment. Too much of one results in a swing toward the other.

I love the sublime in nature and every so often have to climb a mountain.

I'm presently studying Psychology but I have a funny feeling I might teach English and German and write fiction to my hearts content.
Writers, I need your inspiration.


My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Creative individuals, anyone who is of a non conservative nature (not mad, just unique). I guess people who are so themselves that they are unlike anyone else.
