Slawa! Slavic mythology and native faith. Collecting and devouring Luciferian Hot sauces. CAKE - best drink ever! Pint of Guiness with shot of vanilla vodka (or two) thrown in!!!!! Simple and beautiful. Zubrovka Vodka - straight or with apple juice - a delight. With a cucumber - divine! Polska kadra narodowa - WE WILL WIN EURO 2008; LEO SLAWA!!!! tabla playing; fencing; nursing hangovers; native faith figure carving in wood - the bigger the sculpture the better!!! El Greco, Matisse, Max Ernst, Durer and Brueghel the Elder. Smell of new books. Cooking with rosemary and thyme. SALVE!

I'd like to meet:
Bacchus: A convenient deity invented by the ancients as an excuse for
getting drunk. Often by his side energetic and playful god Pan was seen - a lusty and able musician who wandered the hills and mountains of Arkadia in search of nymphs. HA!
Sherilyn Fenn - woman with the Most Beautiful Eyebrows in the Known World (Twin Peaks era, of course).
Pablo Picasso because when he was asked what three things astonished him the most, his answer was, "the blues, cubism and Polish vodka." And j'adorable Shakira - for singing that her "breasts are small and humble" :)
You!
