DARKNESS_HYDEs CLOSET / COMING MAY - 2008

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


"COGITO ERGO SUM ~ I THINK, THEREFORE I AM"
WELL, WHAT “SHOULD” YOU KNOW ABOUT ME?
TO START ALLOW ME TO TELL YOU THAT WHAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT SAY OF THEMSELVES:
I’M NOT PERFECT …
AND I SAY MOST PEOPLE SIMPLY BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE TENDS TO DESCRIBE THEMSELVE AS IF IT THEY WERE MAKING AN APPLICATION TO BE ON A BEAUTY PAGEANT, TAKE A PHISICAL EXAM, INTERVIEWING FOR A JOB OR APPLYING FOR A POPULARITY CONTEST.
SORRY BUT I’M WAY PAST ALL THAT NONSENCE …
AND BECAUSE OF THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY LEARNED TO FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH MY OWN SKIN AND WITH “MOST” OF MY FLAWS AND MY IMPERFECTIONS.
THUS I’M PROUD IN THE FACT I WELCOME CHANGE ALONG WITH THE ABILITY TO TRY NEW THINGS, IN ORDER TO EXPAND MY HORIZONTS. MY LIFE IT IS MORE COMPLETE SINCE I DECIDED TO DO THIS; MERELY BECAUSE I’M NOT LIMITED TO WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINKS SHOULD BE RIGHT OR WRONG … I DO NOT NEED APPROVAL FROM ANYONE ... PLAIN AND SIMPLE !!!!
HENCE THE CHANGING IMAGE OF MYSELF IN ALMOST EVERY PICTURE ON MY PROFILE, I GUESS MY OWN WEIRDNESS KEEPS AT BAY CERTAIN PEOPLE I HAVE GROWN TIRED OF AND PEOPLE I CARE NOT TO TALK.
YET MY ABILITY TO DO THIS COMES FROM AN OPEN MIND TOWARDS MOST KINDS OF ARTS, SUCH AS: PHOTOGRAPHY, MUSIC, CULTURE, FILM, LITERATURE, BUT MOSTLY PEOPLE, IDEAS AND PHILOSOPHY. IN THIS WAY I ALSO ENJOYED THE AMAZING FEELING OF BREAKING THE LABELS FOR WHICH PEOPLE MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL "PERFECT" TRYING TO FIND SOME KIND OF APPROVAL TOWARD OTHER PEOPLE.
LABELS … HA HA HA!
WHO NEEDS THEM? …
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CAN HAVE A PROTEAN IMAGE OF YOURSELF, OR A MOBILITY TO BREAK YOUR ROUTINE AND AN UNFIX ABILITY TO RE-CREATE YOURSELF. NO BOUNDS TO HOLD YOU BACK ... AND BECAUSE OF THIS I’M GLAD OF THE ABILITY TO LAUGH FROM MYSELF:
“KNOWING I HAVE BEEN STUBBORN, SILLY, OR PLAINLY STUPID. MY OWN FLAWS HAVE CHANGED INTO STEPS ON MY JOURNEY TO BECOME A BETTER POET OR ARTIST.
I'M VERY LUCKY WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO MAKING FRIENDS OR KEEPING THEM, AND IF YOU EVER MEET ANY OF MY FRIENDS THEY WILL PROBABLY TALK MORE ABOUT THE KIND OF GOOD FRIEND THAT I'M THAT I COULD POSSIBLY SAY IN THIS LITTLE "ABOUT ME" SECTION.
I'M THE PERSON THAT I AM TODAY BECAUSE OF MY STRONG BELIEFS, REASONS THAT ALLOW ME FOR MOST PART TO KNOW WHAT I WANT, AND I SAID FOR THE MOST PART BECAUSE I NEVER LIMIT MYSELF TO THE POSSIBILITY OF CHANCE, LIFE IT'S ALWAYS CHANGING, LIFE SHOULD NOT KNOW NO LIMITS.
SO WHY SHOULD I LIMIT MYSELF TO ONLY ONE IDEA?
SO IF FOR ANY REASON YOU SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THIS, YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO SHARE MY FRIENDSHIP, MY POEMS, AND MOST OF MY HEART AS A FRIEND; AND IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT MY PROFILE AND THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT STROKE YOUR CURIOSITY, I REALLY HOPE WE HAVE MORE THAN A FEW THINGS IN COMMON TO MEET EACH OTHER HALF WAY ... IN ORDER TO BE GOOD FRIENDS.
BESIDES, I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT NEW FRIENDS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME; YET ABOVE ALL THIS I REALLY HOPE YOU FIND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AND IF YOU DO ...
DO NOT BE AFRAID TO TAKE CHARGE AND REACH FOR IT. BE HAPPY, AND CONTENT THAT NOTHING CAN STOP YOUR SEARCH OF HAPPINES.
HOW THIS FEELS IS I'M JUST ANOTHER TASK IN GOD'S DAILY PLANNER; THE RENAISSANCE PENCILLED IN FOR RIGHT AFTER THE DARK AGES. THE INFORMATION AGE IS SCHEDULED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INSDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. THEN THE POST-MODERN ERA, THEN THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE. FAMINE. CHECK. PESTILENCE. CHECK. WAR. CHECK. DEATH. CHECK. AND BETWEEN THE BIG EVENTS, THE EARTHQUAKES AND TIDAL WAVES, GOD'S GOT ME SQUEZZED IN FOR A CAMEO APPEARANCE. THEN MAYBE IN THIRTY YEARS, OR MAYBE NEXT YEAR, GOD'S DAILY PLANNER HAS ME FINISHED.
CHUCK PALAHNIUK, IN PHILOSOPHY.
SOME PEOPLE ARE SO AFRAID TO DIE THAT THEY NEVR BEGIN TO LIVE.
HENRY VAN DYKE
I BELIEVE THAT IMAGINATION IS STRONGER THAN KNOWLEDGE, THAT MYTH IS MORE POTENT THAN HISTORY. I BELIEVE THAT DREAMS ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN FACTSI - THAT HOPE ALWAYS TRIUMHS OVER EXPERIENCE - THAT LAUGHTER IS THE ONLY CURE FOR GRIEF. AND I BELIEVE THAT LOVE IS STRONGER THAN DEATH.
FROM THE MOVIE "THE CROW"
DESIRE IS HALF LIFE, INDIFFERENCE IS HALF OF DEATH.
KAHLIL GIBRAN
ANCIENT EGYPTIANS BELIEVED THAT UPON DEATH THEY WOULD BE ASKED TWO QUESTIONS AND THEIR ANSWERS WOULD DETERMINE WHETER THEY COULD CONTINUE THEIR JOURNEY IN THE AFTERLIFE. THE FIRST QUESTION WAS, "DID YOU BRING JOY?" THE SECOND WAS, "DID YOU FIND JOY?"
LEO BUSCAGLIA
THE BITTEREST TEARS SHED OVER GRAVES ARE FOR WORDS LEFT UNSID AND DEEDS LEFT UNDONE.
HARRIET BEECHER STOWE
WE ARE AFRAID TO LIVE, BUT SCARED TO DIE.

SOMETIMES IT MATTERS MOST, WHOM DO YOU ALREADY KNOW ... SPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE MADE YOU BETTER BY KNOWING THEM; WHILE OPENING YOUR EYES TO NEW THINGS AND ALLOWING YOUR PERCEPTIONS TO GROW BEYOND WHAT YOU THOUGHT POSSIBLE. YET FOR THE MOST PART I LIKE TO THINK THAT NEW FRIENDS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.

WITHOUT A QUESTION I SUPPOSE IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT MY PROFILE THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT STROKE YOUR CURIOSITY, AND I REALLY HOPE WE HAVE MORE THAN A FEW THINGS IN COMMON TO MEET EACH OTHER HALF WAY ... IN ORDER TO BE GOOD FRIENDS ... IF NOT I REALLY HOPE YOU FIND WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR ...

AND IF YOU DO ... DO NOT BE AFRAID TO TAKE CHARGE AND REACH FOR IT. BE HAPPY, AND CONTENT THAT NOTHING CAN STOP YOUR SEARCH OF HAPPINES.

I WOULD LIKE TO MEET PEOPLE WITH THE SAME INTEREST: SUCH AS ART, POETRY, MUSIC, PHOTOGRAPHY, LITERATURE, AND PRETTY MUCH ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH A GOOD CONVERSATION. PEOPLE IN SEARCH OF THAT INFINITE LOVE FOR ART AND MUSIC. A LOVE FOR ART AND MUSIC WHICH VERY FEW COULD POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND.

Music:



PERHAPS I'M THE WAY I AM SIMPLY BECAUSE I HAVE ALLOWED MUSIC TO TAKE OVER MY LIFE FROM TIME TO TIME GUIDING ME WHERE EVER IT PLEASES AND BECOME MORE COMPLETE ...

ANYTIME, ANYPLACE, OR ANY WHERE THERE IS MUSIC THAT I LIKE. MUSIC IS ALMOST AS IMPORTANT TO MY SOUL AS MY WRITING IS FOR MY HEART ...

SO IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT THE MUSIC ... FOR EXAMPLE I OWN ABOUT 50+ GB OF MUSIC FROM SO MANY DIFFERENT GENRES THAT SOME PEOPLE WOULD NEVER THINK I LIKE; THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I'M LISTENING TO SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR AND SOME OF MY FRIENDS SAY:"I NEVER PICTURED YOU LISTENING TO ANY THING LIKE THAT"

(50+ GB=6200+ SONGS OR 6200+ SONGS=500 HOURS OF MUSIC) DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A LOT ? I HOPE NOT, LOL.

TO MENTION JUST A FEW ON EVERY GENRE.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC ... HELL YEAH !!!!

BUSTER KEATON (SILENT),
LON CHANEY (SILENT),
MOST BLACK AND WHITE MOVIES FROM 1920's TO 1940's,
MOST FILM NOIR,
MOST VINTAGE MOVIES,
BUT I DO TRY TO BE VERY OPEN MINDED TO MOST GENRES. DEPENDS PRETTY MUCH IN THE MOOD THAT I'M IN AT THAT MOMENT.
I'm A Movie Buff Quotient: 84%
You are a movie buff of the most obsessive variety. If a movie exists, chances are that you've seen it.
You're an expert on movie facts and trivia.
It's hard to stump you with a question about film.
Are You a Movie Buff?
I OWN ABOUT 700+ MOVIES: ACTION, DRAMA, HORROR, SCI-FI, ANIME, AND INTERNATIONAL CINEMA; YET NOT SO MUCH IN TO COMEDY.
I ALSO LIKE OLD VINTAGE MOVIES, VERY OLD CARTOONS, OLD WORLD WAR DOCUMENTARIES, MOST THINGS REALTED TO WARFARE HISTORY, OR HISTORY IN GENERAL !!!!

Television:



NOT SO MUCH INTO TV ...

I DO WATCH PLENTY OF DVD MOVIES. DOES THAT COUNT FOR T.V? LOL ... I DO TRY TO WATCH SOME FROM TIME TO TIME: CSI, LAW AND ORDER, MEDIUM, HOUSE, MTV (VIDEOS), AND EVEN PBS TO MENTION JUST A FEW.

Books:



BOOKS? HOW ABOUT AUTHORS ...

MY FAVORITES INCLUDE: PABLO NERUDA (HE INTRODUCED ME TO POETRY), DANTE ALIGHIERI(HE GAVE ME HOPE), JORGE LUIS BORGES, CHARLES BUKOWSKI(THEY SHOWED ME TO WRITE AND TO OPEN MY MIND), WALT WHITMAN, KHALIL GIBRAN(THEY TOLD ME ABOUT SPIRIT AND NATURE), T.S ELLIOT, W.B YEATS, OCTAVIO PAZ, MARQUIS DE SADE, DOSTOVIESKI, TOLSTOY, EDGAR ALLAN POE, AND LOUISE GLUCK (JUST A FEW OF THE ONES THAT SHARE A STRONG BOND TO MY HEART)

I LIKE MOST FORMS OF PHILOSOPHY SPECIALLY FROM A FEW GREAT MINDS SUCH AS: SUN TZU, MACHIAVELLI, PLATO, OVID, AND SOCRATES TO NAME JUST A FEW.

I LIKE SO MANY THINGS REGARDING: ART, MUSIC, POETRY, MILITARY HISTORY, PHYSICS, QUANTUM PHYSICS, FORENSIC SCIENCE, MEDICINE, QUOTES, BIOGRAPHIES, AND TRUE CRIME.I'M PROUD OF THE FACT THAT I ENJOY LEARNING AS MUCH AS I POSSIBLY CAN.

Heroes:



MY PARENTS ...

THEY HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS. LOVE DOES EXIST; I KNOW IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY FOR THEM, YET I DO LOOK FORWARD TO MAYBE DO THE SAME THING.
BESIDES I HAVE NOT GIVEN UP ... MAYBE I NEVER WILL, AFTER ALL THERE IS HOPE IN MY POETRY AND MY SOUL YET TO FIND WHAT MANY HAD TAKEN FORGRANTED; I SHOULD KNOW I NEVER WILL.
