He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.- Unknown

Online friends: Genuine people welcome here,from whatever walk of life. I'm East London UK born,though my heritage is part Irish/Czech ~ having been adopted it's always difficult to be certain of knowing everything about your roots. No regrets for taking the journey.. “There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.â€
I like diversity,people in general,being in contact & knowing what goes on in the 'bigger picture'. Since first becoming a MySpace member & visiting here,I've met some great friends. And to any I've yet to meet...
From Classical,to Rock & Roll & back again...if it sounds good to me I like it ~ I tend to keep an open mind & not refuse to listen to any music

Unusual ancient or rare ~ old illustrated childrens books: Der Struwwelpeter, Heinrich Hoffman's cautionary rhymes an old time favourite. Lewis Carroll,Charles Dickens,Isaak Asimov,Terry Pratchett,George Orwell, & many more. But I read on a large variety of subjects ~ From Ancient Egypt to botanical ref to re reading Little Megs Children ~ Hesba Stretton(google that one up!) just whatever takes my interest(Though nowdays mainly non fiction of the 'pick up & put down' kind)
And always loved this one ~ Illustration below: Where The Wild Things Are
Heroes? Not for me,though I admire people who triumph against all odds,sacrifice much to help others less fortunate,or are willing to stand up for rights/beliefs against fear of retribution. And those who do or tolerate much but remain in the shadows.. 'silent heroes'
