Hate is easy, love takes courage

About Me

I have lived in Montréal, Kinshasa, Hungary, California but I am presently living in Las Vegas. Basically the wind blew me here! I speak fluent french, english and hungarian. I'm artistically inclined and ambitious without pretention. I love good food and good company. Looking for the positive and would rather stay far away from negativity. Compassionate and a good listener, I love sharing a good conversation while keeping an open mind. I have my own views and perceptions on life, but I am quite open to another's ideas or take on life. A born philosopher and a true romantic, a dreamer. Passionate and motivated. Funny and smart. Never condescending. Gives lots of love and support to those close to me and those in need.

I'd like to meet:

Inspiring, stimulating and positive people.Please visit the light a million candles website at http:// www.lightamillioncandles.comand light a candle to help stop online child pornography. It only takes a few clicks!

Music:

Music is a necessity to my soul, whether it's jazz, funk, reggae, hip-hop, trip-hop, down tempo, blues, trance, from the old to the new sounds.I support Canadian musicians, so here are some references:€ Montreal musician Ram, aka Ramasutra, aka DJ Ram delivers a varied collection of sounds, check out some samples on his page http://www.myspace.com/1ramasutra € Originally based in Montreal, The Bran Van 3000 have collaborated with many local musicians to create this late 90's cult classic album Glee. Check out their page: http://www.myspace.com/branvan3000official € Esthero has a smooth & sexy style: http://www.myspace.com/pinkpirate1 € Feist has many influences, her sound is ever so sweet! http://www.myspace.com/feist € K-os is our rapper virtuoso at http://www.myspace.com/kos € Voivod are local legends, kings of heavy metal, visit them at http://www.myspace.com/voivod

Movies:

Foreign films, british and french humor. Most recently viewed favorite mind-blowing films would be "What the bleep do we know?" and (thanks to Jacob for the reference) "The Secret"...inspiring

Television:

Rarely have the craving to watch TV, but every once in a while I like to chill out in front of the TV. I like mostly to get a good laugh, old reruns that take me back! As far as sitcoms go, Iove Brit humor and the likes of Ab Fab!Of course Kids in the Hall is one of my favorite Canadian comedy classic! .. ....
Kinshasa, la Kingston africaine
Uploaded by 93reizh Why do I even complain about anything?!

Books:

I love all kinds of books about history, fantasy, true stories, fiction, and even self-empowering books. Feeds the soul.

Heroes:

Anyone who inspires others to be their own heroes. From the Dalai Lama: "As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery€ we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness."
