Ok, YES I am going to be THAT Gemini. I am Interested in EVERYTHING. So much time, so little to do. NO strike that, reverse it! I want to go everywhere, get to know everyone, do everything, see, taste, smell, hear, feel, and FEEL everything. I want to live each day like my last, and each time I love I want to love as deeply as if it were forever. Only Nothingness is eternal. I want my future to be a gaggle of wide eyed kids and straggling adults listening to that eccentric wise old woman telling stories and hashing out nuggets of knowledge.
Anyone who can challenge the strangeness of myself.
MUSIC is life and I LOVE life. This portion of my profile will change I am sure because much thought will have to go into this. I am a music maker. I have ALWAYS made music. From the start with my little red portable record player in front of my crossed legs. Now I have grown up to the adult versions along with acoustic toys. I love ALL kinds of music and I mean that sincerely. I can find the beauty in any style enough to go on a fetish romp for weeks. Now all this said, I can not find any beauty in soulless music because it does not exist. MEANING NO mainstream CLEAR CHANNEL pumped atrocities.

Because I AM a movie super-freak, I will not waste your time with an actual list of movies. More of a briefing. I Dig on BAAAAD movies. Anything with a B grade or worse is OK by me. The older the better. Horror, Sci-Fi, Blaxploitation, and sucky indie-made-with-a-digital-camera-I-am-in-film-school movies translate the best in the Bete' Noire genre. I also LOVE meself some good foreign film. Japanese is my fetish as of late. They make the best horror and neo action. I am in love with Tadanobu Asano. Love horror. 70's stylee. Good Anime and I do want to emphasis the good part (Tamala 2010, Spirited Away). The stranger and more unique the movie the better (Donnie Darko, Being John Malkovich ) Old School Comedies with anyone from the original SNL gang. LOOVE good documentaries (The Corporation, WeatherUnderground, Stupidity) ETC. ETC. ETC. ETC.
Everything that the networks allow you to vegg on is a devise for subduing the human mind so that the "ones" who are in charge can take everything that makes you unique and special. DO NOT let them take away your humanity! DO NOT fear the world outside and the ones you share it with! DO NOT take what they tell you at face value. Question, try, and figure things out for yourself. Life goes by at the blink of an eye. DO NOT waste your precious time thinking everyone else is capable of living extraordinary lives. Your reality is more exciting, I guaranty you. Get off your ASS and change your life and the lives around you! It is just that easy. NOTE: All of this does not apply to the Family Guy, LOST, or Adult Swim. Ipso Facto!
INPUT INPUT INPUT INPUT INPUT. BIG book reader. Unfortunately the last good fiction book I was blown away with was Stranger in a Strange Land. Right now I am reading. The Human Zoo, and Secrets, Lies and Democracy,
“What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.†Albert Pike"Though rapture brings us delight, the weakness of our nature at first makes us afraid of it, and we need to be resolute and courageous in life." Saint Teresa of Avila"Why grab possessions like thieves, or divide them like socialists, when you can ignore them like wise men?"

Martin Luther King, Jr."The manner in which one endures what must be endured is more important than the thing that must be endured." Dean Acheson"Every man has his own destiny: The only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him." Henry Miller"Ultimately a hero is a man who would argue with Gods, and so awakens devils to contest his vision."

Tennessee Williams"It is not the goal but the way there that matters, and the harder the way the more worth while the journey." Wilfred Thesiger"Rigor of beauty is the quest. But how will you find beauty when it is locked in the mind past all remonstrance?" William Carlos Williams"Is it lack of imagination that makes us come to imagined places, not just stay at home?" Elizabeth Bishop "Tolerance is not acceptance, and indifference is not assimilation." Carey McWilliams"To think is to differ." Clarence Darrow"The love we give away is the only love we keep." Elbert Hubbard"We begin every act of choice and avoidance from pleasure, and it is to pleasure that we return using our experience of pleasure as the criterion of every good thing." Epicurus “To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.†Ralph Waldo Emerson
