My Interests

Because of my field of study, one can make a wise guess that my interests lies in the audio/video medium of film, TV, and the radio. On a personal level my interests lie in getting to know as many people as I can throughout my life. I'm interested in talking to people and in doing so learn as much about them as I possibly can as well as them learn about me. It makes my day when someone comes up to me and says "being with you has made my day" or "I have learned to look at things differently because of you" and it brings joy to my heart when I can say the same thing right back to that person and really truly mean it. We are all here to learn and grow from each other. Otherwise...arent we just wasting our time?

You are 93% Libra
How much do you match your zodiac sign?Libra is the only inanimate sign of the zodiac, all the others representing either humans or animals. Many modern astrologers regard it as the most desirable of zodiacal types because it represents the zenith of the year, the high point of the seasons, when the harvest of all the hard work of the spring is reaped. There is a mellowness and sense of relaxation in the air as mankind enjoys the last of the summer sun and the fruits of his toil. Librans too are among the most civilized of the twelve zodiacal characters and are often good looking. They have elegance, charm and good taste, are naturally kind, very gentle, and lovers of beauty, harmony (both in music and social living) and the pleasures that these bring.They have good critical faculty and are able to stand back and look impartially at matters which call for an impartial judgment to be made on them. But they do not tolerate argument from anyone who challenges their opinions, for once they have reached a conclusion, its truth seems to them self-evident; and among their faults is an impatience of criticism and a greed for approval. But their characters are on the whole balanced, diplomatic and even tempered.Librans are sensitive to the needs of others and have the gift, sometimes to an almost psychic extent, of understanding the emotional needs of their companions and meeting them with their own innate optimism - they are the kind of people of whom it is said, "They always make you feel better for having been with them." They are very social human beings. They loathe cruelty, viciousness and vulgarity and detest conflict between people, so they do their best to cooperate and compromise with everyone around them, and their ideal for their own circle and for society as a whole is unity.Their cast of mind is artistic rather than intellectual, though they are usually too moderate and well balanced to be avant garde in any artistic endeavor. They have good perception and observation and their critical ability, with which they are able to view their own efforts as well as those of others, gives their work integrity.In their personal relationships they show understanding of the other person's point of view, trying to resolve any differences by compromise, and are often willing to allow claims against themselves to be settled to their own disadvantage rather than spoil a relationship. They like the opposite sex to the extent of promiscuity sometimes, and may indulge in romanticism bordering on sentimentality. Their marriages, however, stand a good chance of success because they are frequently the union of "true minds". The Libran's continuing kindness toward his or her partner mollifies any hurt the latter may feel if the two have had a tiff. Nor can the Libran's spouse often complain that he or she is not understood, for the Libran is usually the most empathetic of all the zodiacal types and the most ready to tolerate the beloved's failings.The negative Libran character may show frivolity, flirtatiousness and shallowness. It can be changeable and indecisive, impatient of routine, colorlessly conventional and timid, easygoing to the point of inertia, seldom angry when circumstances demand a show of annoyance at least; and yet Librans can shock everyone around them with sudden storms of rage. Their love of pleasure may lead them into extravagance; Libran men can degenerate into reckless gamblers, and Libran women extravagant, jealous and careless about money sometimes squander their wealth and talents in their overenthusiasm for causes which they espouse. Both sexes can become great gossipers. A characteristic of the type is an insatiable curiosity that tempts them to enquire into every social scandal in their circle.In their work the description "lazy Libra" which is sometimes given is actually more alliterative than true. Librans can be surprisingly energetic, though it is true that they dislike coarse, dirty work. Although some are modestly content, others are extremely ambitious. With their dislike of extremes they make good diplomats but perhaps poor party politicians, for they are moderate in their opinions and able to see other points of view. They can succeed as administrators, lawyers (they have a strong sense of justice, which cynics might say could handicap them in a legal career), antique dealers, civil servants and bankers, for they are trustworthy in handling other people's money. Some Librans are gifted in fashion designing or in devising new cosmetics; others may find success as artists, composers, critics, writers, interior decorators, welfare workers or valuers, and they have an ability in the management of all sorts of public entertainment. Some work philanthropically for humanity with great self-disciple and significant results. Libran financiers sometimes make good speculators, for they have the optimism and ability to recover from financial crashes.

Music:

I like all kinds of music just depends on the mood I'm in. Because I was born in the 80's I LOVE 80's music (the rock ballads, the love ballads, etc.) but will switch to a contemporary song with an upbeat beat without blinking an eye. I truly believe that music is mood based- it can add to your joy, sorrow, or even make you want to get up and dance a little jig. Music is everything.

Movies:

I like the Star Wars trilogy, the Indianna Jones trilogy, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Back to the Future trilogy....and really every movie trilogy except the Godfather trilogy because the third movie sucked balls. My favorite genre is drama as I'm most interested in the inner and outer conflicts we all face at one time or another as part of the human condition. My second favorite would have to be action/adventure and comedy. In my junior high and high school days I used to screenwrite and actually had some of my works published. I also recently wrote a collabritive work with a few friends of mine which we submitted to the reality television show Project Greenlight... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" ..

Television:

Hate to say it, but I like "reality" television shows. I watch The RealWorld, The Amazing Race, Survivor, The Apprentice, and Project Greenlight. I also have to make it a note to ctach Lost and Alias whenever they are on... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" ..

Books:

My favorite authors are Stephen King and Dean Koontz. These two authors or masterful story tellers and I find myself intoxicated with their every word. Im open to other authors as well but I find myself sometimes skipping whole chapters because the authors are too descriptive and cant tell a simple tight story. I like to be entertained while I read not bored to death.
