About Me


In my life I've made many right choices and some huge mistakes,too. Now I'm just greedy.. greedy to learn, greedy to experience, greedy to feel and to live.
-- --
To be bare.To want someone so much it almost hurts.To acknowledge the demands of my body, the need to be touched, caressed, penetrated.To be bare. To be alive.

Please remember: it's not about who you love. It's about caring, needing, respecting. Love the opposite sex. Love your own sex. Just love! A kiss is always a kiss. And the skin is always sensitive, ready to feel even the most gentle touches. The gateway to paradise is quite next to us if we only dare to enter.

I would like to sing someone to sleep, have someone to sit by and be with. I would like to cradle you and softly sing, be your companion while you sleep or wake. I would like to be the only person in the house who knew: the night outside was cold. And would like to listen to you and outside to the world and to the woods.The clocks are striking, calling to each other, and one can see right to the edge of time. Outside the house a strange man is afoot and a strange dog barks, wakened from his sleep. Beyond that there is silence.My eyes rest upon your face wide-open; and they hold you gently, letting you go when something in the dark begins to move.
- Rainer Maria Rilke -

Ignorant before the heavens of my life, I stand and gaze in wonder. Oh the vastness of the stars. Their rising and descent. How still. As if I didn't exist. Do I have any share in this? Have I somehow dispensed with their pure effect? Does my blood's ebb and flow change with their changes? Let me put aside every desire, every relationship except this one, so that my heart grows used to its farthest spaces. Better that it live fully aware, in the terror of its stars, than as if protected, soothed by what is near.
- Rainer Maria Rilke -

You, darkness, that I come from I love you more than all the fires that fence in the world, for the fire makes a circle of light for everyone and then no one outside learns of you.But the darkness pulls in everything - shapes and fires, animals and myself, how easily it gathers them! - powers and people-and it is possible a great presence is moving near me.I have faith in nights.
- Rainer Maria Rilke -

Being apart and lonely is like rain. It climbs toward evening from the ocean plains; from flat places, rolling and remote, it climbs to heaven, which is its old abode. And only when leaving heaven drops upon the city.It rains down on us in those twittering hours when the streets turn their faces to the dawn, and when two bodies who have found nothing, dissapointed and depressed, roll over; and when two people who despise eachother have to sleep together in one bed-that is when loneliness receives the rivers...

My Interests

Music, people, nature, literature, fine arts, antiques.. so many things give me pleasure and keep me going on. Beauty exists in many different forms. Here's a link to my site on Bloggers, there you can see some of the things I enjoy:

Dan May : By Starlight

I'd like to meet:

I hope to meet people who know how it feels to miss something unknown and nameless so much it hurts. I want to surround myself with friends who are not afraid to be themselves, no matter how painful that sometimes may be - for them or for me.

Music:

Almost anything goes.. music is such a huge part of my everyday life. It comforts me when I'm sad, and when I feel extreme happiness, there are notes to transform that feeling into clear, bright sounds.

Movies:

Aki Kaurismki, Chaplin, Hitchcock, Tarantino, Kurosawa, the Taviani brothers - all those directors have touched me deeply. The magic of the silver screen is timeless.

Television:


I confess: there are series like The Sopranos and Six Feet Under which I Have To See. Otherwise it's the news and some documentaries - there's simply too few hours to spend!

Dan May : Tragedy of the Commons

Books:

Hesse, Tolkien, A.A. Milne, Stancu, Kemal, Traven, Poe, Shakespeare.. the list goes on and on. Books have always been such an important part of my life, can't imagine living without them.

Heroes:


I hope there are heros.. maybe I'll find them some day. So far I've met people I respect very much - could be I just don't understand the word 'hero' right. I admire people who are true to themselves, who dare to look life and other people straight to the eyes.
