About Me

I'm the product of the universal machinations, ethereal and effervescent. You think you know me...you've just skimmed the surface.I believe in a greater power that dictates the outcome of my life. I believe that this power emanates to the small things, things that are usually taken for granted, because as we go about our daily existence, they become mundane and perfunctory; I believe in the power of words, how they can evince raw emotions out of a string of symbols; emotions that define the moment you are in; I believe that with the ability to wield words, you have the power to make a nation break down into tears or to rise up in armed revolt; I believe that with words, you could weave a veil of imagery, enough to make someone fall in love, enough to crush someones heart; I believe that books are the time machines that man had been searching for in vain; that opening the cover, leafing thru page to page is a journey unto itself. I believe in Karma, that with which the universe resonates with; that which echoes in the halls of our psyche. I believe in the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. I believe in mad poetics and the little drops of vagrant moods. And most of all, I believe in the penultimate need of the soul to reach out and assimilate other souls. I believe that there was a time when all souls came from a single core and that by stroke of hand of the greater power it was divided and strewn to the wind, fated to seek each other once again. ~derek 01/27/05
Some shorties about me:
I've been called a lot of things in this lifetime but I've somehow managed to sway them all away... At 10 years old, I felt and thought like I was 20. At 20, I felt and thought like I was 30...I know what I have, and I know my limits...I'm as flawed as can be...My height is precariously stuck in the 'in-between', I'm not tall, but I'm definitely not short...I've imperfect skin, sometimes enough to scare little children and farm animals...I'm thin as a wafer, even after gorging on food enough to feed 10 men, I still remain the same weight...wait is that a bad thing?...I can say things to your face that your mother won't allow me to...I don't apologize for what I am and what I've done...But after all this, I know what I can offer that nobody else can. Oh and yeah, check out mah blog. I write a lot. Its cathartic.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mark San Diego! HA!
I'd like to meet personages that had experienced life to the fullest. Those luminaries who'd lived and let live. I don't really care for celebrities. Celebrity should be given to those who have actually made a difference in this world.
I'd like to meet someone who can make me ponder, make me fall in awe, make me laugh, inspire a change in me, make me drop my pride, teach me how to catch a fox, make me watch a sunrise, teach me another language, fly with me to the moon...or Rome or Frankfurt or Brussels or Seoul...
Not necessarily in one package... And if you've got something else I haven't listed above, I'd sure love to get to know you.

Well aside from that, I'd come to admire Anthony Fedorov. This guy has a hot bod, an adorable face, class oh and yeah, a beautiful voice.
Ok superficiality aside, I admire people not because they have done a great service to humanity. These people are human too, prone to error and are far from perfection. Much like you and me. My admiration goes beyond what people do. It's how they accept their frailty, their passion and their humanity that makes them worth my ardor.
