About Me



Blog Update. June 30, 2008: The Crystal Ship

My Interests

Spanish/Italian aesthetics, eastern and western mythology, ancient tribes, the night, the oneness of Nature, and celebrating Dionysus with his divine red wine from time to time.

I'd like to meet:


Music:

I love almost all kinds of music. From Classical: film scores, especially from animated features, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Busoni, Chopin, and more. Bossa Nova, Jazz, Electronica, video game music. Rock: Stereolab, Novalis, The Byrds, The Beatles, The Monkees, to name a few. I DIG 60-80's music.

I love Frank Sinatra anytime, anywhere. Astrud Gilberto always.

Movies:

Animation feature films; the classics

Television:

Kills the soul

Books:

Poetry, Philosophy, and Literature

Heroes:

The ones who made my life richer or helped me live through it.
