Caught in that sensual music

About Me

I like fast cars and slower--not "slow"-- women. I've long since stopped trying to find a scene. I like to think, see films, read and dream. My life is a a dialectic: I'm still working on that elusive synthesis. I love to travel, but hate airplanes. I'll take the Blue Highways most every time. . .

My Interests

Bookstores, The New York Times (Love/Hate), Scooter Rides, Long Road Trips, Indie Music and Film. Strong Coffee.Taking Lame Online Tests Like the Following One, Perfect to Fill Up a My Space Page: http://ynr.blogthings.com/whatcolorisyourauraquiz/Your Aura is Blue Your Personality: Your natural warmth and intuition nurtures those around you. You are accepting and always follow your heart. You in Love: Relationships are your top priority, and this includes love. You are most happy when you are serious with someone. Your Career: You need to help others in your job to feel satistifed. You would be a great nurse, psychologist, or counselor.
