...First and foremost: T.H.I.N.K.I.N.G. and
A.N.A.L.Y.S.I.N.G. ...... I do so almost about everything in my LIFE - Past, Present & Future- and around me ......... This is what I do the most next to breathing, I guess...... And I fully enjoy it!!!! ...... Then there is listening to Music, Dancing, playing Video Games, Reading (I love Manga), watching Movies( including Cartoons and Anime), gastronomic escapades, and my favorite: a warm and vivid gathering of friends around a table for a good dinner and memorable chating!!! .... and much more, of course..........However, it sempiternally and unconditionally comes down to T.H.I.N.K.I.N.G.....A.N.A.L.Y.S.I.N.G.....T.H.I.N.K.I.N.G...
.A.N.A.L.Y.S.I.N.G....T.H.I.N.K.I.N.G....A.N.A.L.Y.S.I.N.G..
...T.H.I.N.K.I.N.G....A.N.A.L.Y.S.I.N.G.....T.H.I.N.K.I.N.G.
...A.N.A.L.Y.S.I.N.G....T.H.I.N.K.I.N.G...A.N.A.L.Y.S.I.N.G.
....T.H.I.N.K.I.N.G.....A.N.A.L.Y.S.I.N.G.......... tout'l'temps, tout'l'temps, tout'l'temps, tout'l'temps, tout'l'temps, tout'l'temps, tout'l'temps, tout'l'temps, tout'l'temps, tout'l'temps, tout'l'temps, tout'l'temps, tout'l'temps, tout'l'temps, tout'l'temps..............

...STRONG people for I believe in spending energy on those who make you STRONGER. Energy spent on WEAKLINGS surely and inevitably drags you to DOOM....
N.B.: .....Needless to stipulate that the terms "STRONG", "STRONGER", "WEAKLINGS", and "DOOM" may respectively - and/or collectivelly- embody a wide range of concepts, depending on the reader's state of mind....... It's up to YOU!!.....
/ Also, Francois Guizot whose following quote: "INSULTS really seem subject to the Laws of Gravity: they only carry weight when coming from 'above' -i.e. people you look up too- .....but seldom when coming from 'below' - i.e. people you look down upon." has been a life-saver in countless situations!!!!

..... O Boy!!.. Where do I even start, so varied and ecclectic are my musical tastes..... Anything that would inspire or relax me, I guess... Unusual sounds, folk music, OPERA, classical, easy listening, nature noises, etc... But then, I also like to feel energized!!... Any music with a rhythm that makes me move is my type of music!!..

...I very seldom watch TV....But I loved the miniserie "Children of Dune" based on the work of the late Frank Herbert -author of the 'Dune' novels and the 'Dune universe'- / Documentories (historical, scientific, political, zoological, etc...) / 'The Real World' used to be a favorite of mine back in the days.......And how could I fail to mention HBO award-wining series: SEX & THE CITY; THE SOPRANOS, SIX FEET UNDER......
