Stop studying Strife...Learn to Live the Unexamined Life.....

About Me

From the Flaming Lips: "Do you realize?That you have the most beautiful face? Do you realize?We're floating in space? Do you realize?That happiness makes you cry? Do you realize?That everyone you know someday will die? And instead of saying all of your good-byes-- Let them know you realize that life goes fast-- It's hard to make the good things last- You realize the sun doesn't go down-- It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round Do you realize--That everyone you know someday will die? Do you realize?

My Interests

pondering the equation of Life, and realizing that there is no single solution; learning how to meditate through a non-differentiating mind and gaining realization through respect and tolerance for others; Understanding the Tao.......

I'd like to meet:

Children of the Universe, those who know how to Romance the Ordinary. Those who seek Sunshine but who also know that too much Sun can burn. Those who do not feel threatened by, and those who will not mock people who choose the Path of MOST resistance. People who go with the flow of Life, but also are driven and realize that the time is now, the place is here, that there are no two chances in a single moment. People who can explain to me "WHAT YOU RISK REVEALS WHAT YOU VALUE". People who i can laugh with, share comfortable silences and cackling guffaws with. People who would not mind me coloring their Lives, as i seek to add color to theirs. People I can trust, treasure, chill with, who will not judge me. People who may not always understand me, but will try, and after all else embrace me still in acceptance. People who Endure. For Endure is my Sigil.
I am Impressionism
I think the world is quite beautiful, especially if I look at it in new and interesting ways.
I tend to focus on color and movement in art.
For me, seeing the big picture is much more important than recording every little detail.
I can find inspiration anywhere... especially from nature. What Art Movement Are You?
My Kissing Purity Score: 49% Pure
You're not one to kiss and tell...

But word is, you kiss pretty well. Kissing Purity Test
My Love Element Is Earth
In love, you have consistency and integrity.
For you, love is all about staying grounded and centered.

You attract others with your zest for life and experiences.
Your flirting style is defined by setting the scene, creating a unique moment in time.

Steady progress and stability are the cornerstones of your love life.
You may take things too slowly, but you never put your heart at risk.

You connect best with: Fire

Avoid: Wood

You and another Earth element: need each other too much to build a good foundation What Element Is Your Love?
My Other Hawaiian Name is:
Haleigha Lanikai What's your Hawaiian Name?

Music:

eclectic and extreme...broadway/theatre to alternative rock to some classical to popular music.... i just like what i like......

Movies:

foreign films, a lil bit of Noir, fantasy trilogies.... for the most part i like all genre's;

Television:

I used to say i did not like reality TV.. but i have to say that i am now hooked on those programs which have an ounce or two of class. Had i cable i would be on History channel or Discovery in a heartbeat. I dont ask for much at night on the tube but see reruns of Simpsons'...

Books:

I have read almost every genre: some authors i have per-used - Victor Hugo, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, JRR Tolkien, Ann Rice, Jk Rowling, Ayn Rand, Isaac Asimov, Umberto Eco, CS Lewis, Kahlil Gibran, any scholastic book which brings the Christian world in an upheaval; Emily Bronte, Jane Austen, Neil Gaiman, James Michener, James Clavell, Sidney Sheldon, Harold Robbins, Ken Follet, Frederick Forsythe, Hans Christian Andersen...

Heroes:

Gaiman's Death - because she is a breath of fresh air to those who realize how much they have, or have not lived; Forrest Gump - because in simplicity he proved to be the wisest of us; Sarah ban Breathnach- because she taught me how to see Wonder in the Ordinary; Dr. Agnes Bueno - because she taught us that you cannot live your Life as the broken half of a whole...

"Oh well"

Fiona Apple. Why did I not discover her much earlier? 8th track on her album "Extraordinary Machine" is the current mezzo-soprano voice of my tired spirit. I begin this aimless babble of a blog ....
