About Me


~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~
Love this song sooooo much! It's off Mike Oldfield's OMADAWN album. (Mike Oldfield is best known for the Exorcist movie theme song off his Tubular Bells cd) I discovered it via an old bf, later x-husband, of mine, when I was 20 yrs old living in Scotland, & fell in love w/the whole cd. This is the last track following some very kool instrumentals, so the whole cd is a kool relaxing musical trip. Excellent to listen to in bed falling asleep.
But this child's storybook type song would be the one that no matter how I was feeling, even badly, I would curl up with my bf at the time, and listen to it, falling asleep and it would bring me to a pure peaceful happy place. The child in me completely relates to this one & everytime I hear it, I am right there, riding in space, on horseback, feeling totally carefree ~not a worry in the world anymore : )
Definitely see playing this song someday for my own children as a bedtime tune, for sure! Dead sweet!!! : )

Village Voice Horoscope ~SAGITTARIUS~
"Take time to stop and smell the flowers," says an old homily. Albert Hoffman, the Swiss scientist who discovered LSD and lived to age 102, had a different approach. "Take the time to stop and be the flowers," he said.
That's my advice to you, Sagittarius. Don't just set aside a few stolen moments to sniff the snapdragons, taste the rain, chase the wind, watch the hummingbirds, and listen to a friend.
Use your imagination to actually BE the snapdragons and rain and wind and hummingbirds and friend.
It's time to not just behold the Other, but to become the Other.

Village Voice Horoscope
~SAGITTARIUS~

This one is staying up as my seasonal Horoscope : )
Here's the first thing you need to know about the current state of your destiny:
"Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night."
That message comes to you from poet Rainer Maria Rilke.
Here's the second piece of wisdom you should take with you everywhere you go. It's from Vladimir Nabolov:
"For aren't you and I gods? Let all of life be an unfettered howl. Release life's rapture. Everything is blooming. Everything is flying. Everything is screaming. Laughter. Running."
~ I was just feeling it the week before & then read this, so very kool reflection : )

~Useless Thought for the Day~
When people bother to phish myspace pages, instead of doing all this high-tech highjacking of friends for spam shite, or planting codes ~they should just do this to default pics instead ~lol
YOU'VE BEEN 'STASHED'!
Okay, I've had a long day & definitely in giggle mode now, but I still think that'd be brilliant!!! I know I'd go visit all my friends' pages a hell of a lot more ~just to see what new hairstyle they might be sporting ~lol

~Fortune Cookie Wisdom for The Day~
"All that we are is a result of what we have thought"
If you're dead bored -Go Ponder That!
I completely agree with it ~But who knew the secret to a happy life could be so easily found in take-out ~lol If you disagree, all complaints to such profound cookie wisdom should be sent to: Sammy's Noodles on 12th St/6th Ave, NYC ...but I'd go in person ...their Hot & Sour soup is amazing! :P
~
The Myspace choices for: Why are you here? are too funny ~lol~ Serious Relationships -Plural??? How serious could they be if its more than one?!! Yeah, I'm here for three serious relationships ~lol~ I only date a guy if he's into a one-girlfriend, serious relationship, so I'm thinking.... one serious relationship is good enough for me!~lol
Life's just not as much fun if you don't have that one mate you can always count on to be around to do this to, whenever you feel like it ~lol
~Yeah, I only want that one cute monkey soulmate in my life : ) ....so I can tease the hell out of him, in all my spare time ~lol ; )
~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~

~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~'~*~
I'm always into meeting cool new people with similar interests, and/or I can learn something completely new from & share ideas, people with fun, playful, adventurous spirits, who are upfront & honest (I hate dishonesty -a lie & an "omission of truth" are one in the same -both are deceit. If you've rationalized otherwise, we wouldn't make good friends), Intelligent thinkers, creative souls, who are genuine, kind hearted & know how to have a good laugh~ if you're similar~ drop in & say hi : )

"One must not attempt to justify them, but rather to sense their nature simply and clearly." - Einstein (Rationalist vs. Religion/Spirituality)
"You are in this world, but you are not of this world." ~Jesus
And Dr. Dyer's ellaboration on the above quote: "You are not here as a human being having a spiritual experience, but the reverse is true: All of us here are spiritual beings having a human experience."
We all derive from the same source of creative energy, therefore ultimately we are all family & the entire world is home ~Me~lol

(Can't choose just one ~ I love to travel!)
What Attracts You In A Guy
Favourite Eye Color: depends on the guy

Favourite Hair Color: depends ... but really have a thing for long sexy sideburns on a dark haired guy : ) Think its a crime when they shave them off! ~lol
Short or Long Hair: Well...Is his face short or long? ; )
Height: not relevant unless I have to carry him around in my shirt pocket. I don't like shirts with chest pockets (too masculine)...But if shorter in height ...he better have very long fingers & big feet if you catch my drift ; ) ~lol
Weight: depends on the overall package but a sexy body a must : ) Love a slender, sexy strong body type. And for some strange reason I find myself admiring a cute guy if he has what I call artist hands ~lol~ (others call them good for keyboard playing) long, slender fingers ~very sexy! : P
Best Clothing Style: My head used to turn mostly at leather & hardware ~ mc jackets, mc boots, docs, boot straps, chains~ punk/metal/rock, but I really find a guy in a pure tailored suit with a neat manicured short back & sides, spikey on top, dead sexy so go figure! I like the sexy clean-cut, natural look afterall ~lol~ who knew!!! After an x-bf got face piercings I can definitely say - I like hardware/jewelry when its worn on clothes or wrist, neck, ankle ~not metal stuck thru someone's face ~a big turn off!!! : P Went from natural sexy/stylish to street/skater boy overnight ~a transformation I wanted to see reversed asap ~lol. To all you other desi boys out there ~don't do it!!! You already have it going on with your gorgeous dark hair, sideburns, lovely bone structure & skin tone ~already naturally decorated -you don't need more!!! But for me- ultimately, a guy dressed plain kool, stylish, with a sense of individual style, sexy & carries himself well~ that's dead attractive to me - No Brand Whores, homeboy, street looks for me ~Keep your baseball cap, big ass sneakers, baggy ass jeans & oversized clothes away from me!~lol. I like a guy in his 20's or 30's, who looks & acts like a grown man, not an over-sized kid : P
Number of Drugs I have taken: please....lets' not talk about the past... we don't need to go there ~ lol
Number of CDs I own: about 150 left ~ been donating to the local library ~ wanna go pure digital.
Number of Piercings: 4: 3 manmade & one natural (birthmark). I was born with an ear piercing 1/2 way up my left ear.
Number of Tattoos: nil ~ was contemplating but now seeing them everywhere on others, most of the time they look too skanky. Often I'll see some girl w/one on her ankle or calf & I think: what the hell is that? A bruise?... & then realize its a tat ~lol. I'd always feel like I have some dirty mark on me, I can't scrub off. So if I get one now it'd have to be something that would be so meaningful to me thru life & looks dead beautiful... & now only bc I know later I can say ~Thank god for tattoo laser removal!~lol
Name two goals for this year: Definitely skydiving ~ just need to find someone game! (Update - I definitely found him - settig a date for 5 or 6/08!!! : ) & yes, finally get my Driver's License!
Number of things in my Past I Regret:
No Regrets! I live true to myself & let the chips fall where they may. Whether bad or good outcomes, everything is just another life lesson to me, not a regret.

My Interests



Art ~fav artists:
Gustav Klimt (The Kiss)

Edvard Munch, Richard Serra (love to wander thru & melt myself into a curvaceous Serra piece!!! ~a natural high for me) & M.C. Escher

(Bond of Unity)

Love this one. Escher depicts he & his wife as an endless ribbon & their foreheads intertwine, creating a double unity. Through space & time two coexist as one.

Music, books, animals (esp. felines, seals/sea lions, otters, bats, elephants, lizards, monkeys & gorillas... & doing an occasional mouse from glue trap rescue & rehab mission ~lol), exploring nature ~both the outdoor kind & the human type : ) (philosophy & psychology), Traveling, social/cultural anthropology ~I love meeting people from different countries & backgrounds! I live a holistic approach to life & into var. spiritual practices & symbolism~ feng shui, buddhism, native american ~but a new ager at heart : P, kool jewelry, deco, arts & crafts furniture~Charles Reny McIntosh a fav!, taking long walks thru the city in the dead of night in deep winter, when everyone else is tucked away in their beds : ) ~a brilliant experience in Manhattan. And doing simple things on work nites like playing scrabble on the bed while watching tv ~Pure cozy home life style : P

One of my favorite rituals ~taking a hot bubble bath by candle light, listening to kool tunes

& lots of other things ~Life's an amazing trip ~I'm into enjoying the ride!: )

I'd like to meet:

I don' follow the rules~lol
This section is: My Music : )

AXL~AXL~AXL~AXL~AXL!!!! He rocked the Hammerstein!

LOL~ I'm putting this up bc at 33 secs in, u can hear my big yap screaming 'Axl' & later I'm in it, when Axl runs left & stands in front of me singing, you can see my blond head of hair in the crowd. It was a brilliant show! The sound quality of this sucks but its not everyday you hear yourself in a GnR vid ~lol ~Hey, I just know how to project well : P
Guns-n-Roses~THINK ABOUT YOU
..

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song!!! I've been right there & it says it all so well! Will always be one of my all-time favorites.
Guns n Roses/BETTER

..

Now for something completely different...CHERUB
~Gibby & The Buttholes are their usual mad selves : )

..

My Revolving Space: Today's Blue Plate Special~

My fav LIVE song. Always loved Ed's passion. Had a major crush on him & his braid in this vid ~lol Ok, granted the boy could use a bit of sun ~lol~ but yeah, I go for the skinny boys ; )

LIVE ~ I ALONE

Happy to find this one! Someone was kool enough to make a You Tube vid for it : )
This was of my fav albums going into my 1st year of college & when living in London one summer ~Its a hauntingly beautiful intro piece which leads into the song Kayleigh. I wore this one out ~lol.

Marillion ~ PSEUDO SILK KOMONO~

Dead sad song but great tune. Cry w/this one sometimes (when its matched the moment~lol) ...yes, me the sensitive emotional type, or couldn't you guess that by now?!~lol : P
~Smashing Pumpkins~ DISARM

..

Love John & Yoko, & just ran across this vid so putting it up for a bit. Any chance to see cute pics of John with his family always makes me dead happy : )
He's always meant alot to me ~ When I was 13 yrs old I wrote a book review for school: John Lennon ~The Playboy Magazine Interview ...you can imagine what the teacher thought my homelife was like ~lol~ but I also got an A! : )
"Remembering John" Vid ~John Lennon's WOMAN~
..

Going old school ~ One of the absolute classics! Love this whole album! Used to listen to the whole thing every day after school when I was a kid. That and Gang of Four ... coming up next I think ~lol ; )
Black Sabbath's PARANOID~

Outside of Damaged Goods, this is up there in my Gang of Four Favs! Always love hearing this one ~Though live never a great recording : P
~Gang Of Four~ ETHER

Jaz & Joke really got back to their hardcore roots with this one ~EXCELLENT!!!! : ) Couldn't wait for this one to drop! Perfect venting song!
Killing Joke ~HOSANNAS FROM THE BASEMENTS OF HELL~
..

Lacking in numerous lyrics : ) but this music mix is very kool ~Love the Indian/Middle Eastern vibe running thru it!
*Prodigy* ~SPITFIRE~

..

This song always reminds me when things get rough not to sweat it. I've realized that people or things which are meant to stay in your life, stay, & those that leave must have served their purpose or will return. What's true remains~the rest falls away bc you no longer need it. And when things suck & everything feels like work ~its just a life lesson in motion. If you trudge along thru it, not resisting it, when you've learned what you're suppose to from it, it always ends & things do get better. A big life lesson for me, that probably exhausted the universe trying to teach it, since it took about 5 yrs of change for me to get it~lol
The vid reminds me of when I packed my bags & flew off to live in the UK. It brings back that sense of ultimate freedom ~ an amazing feeling of new beginnings & change ~I look forward to it again someday. Also that great feeling after traveling, you return home & back to your Love ~even when your travels were to your native land & your home is now in what you once called a foreign country ~That was a kool realization for me.
~U2's BEAUTIFUL DAY~

..

All time fav short story ~A Murakami too
On Seeing The 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning
... gotta share!!! : ) It begins:
"One beautiful April morning, on a narrow side street in Tokyo’s fashionable Harujuku neighborhood, I walked past the 100% perfect girl.
Tell you the truth, she’s not that good-looking. She doesn’t stand out in any way. Her clothes are nothing special. The back of her hair is still bent out of shape from sleep. She isn’t young, either - must be near thirty, not even close to a “girl,” properly speaking.
But still, I know from fifty yards away: She’s the 100% perfect girl for me. The moment I see her, there’s a rumbling in my chest, and my mouth is as dry as a desert."
Someone was sweet enough to put it online & added a kool layout to read it in.
Here's the link:
www.blueblanket.net/Steph/Make/Visual/Perfect/
Only 1500 words, its about love & lost opportunity.
I love it bc its such wise advise delivered in such a sad but beautiful cautionary tale.
Not to doubt your heart & soul, realizing that your preconceived ideal of a mate, may not be perfect for you.
The moral: Don't tempt fate. Fate is a busy energy for fuck's sake! It builds a one time wispy portal of opp. so when you're heart & soul say YES!!! ~don't analyze the pros & cons for an eternity. No one knows the ending from the start so don't doubt your initial feelings if they are powerful about someone. Its your soul speaking so Listen! & Just get off your ass & take the leap through! ~lol~
Well...Murakami's telling of it, is far more poetic & touching, but I like the 'get off your ass & just do it' summary too : )
Other Favs: Anne Rice: Vampire, Mummy & Witching Hour Chronicles,
Romeo & Juliet (lots of Shakespeare), Bradbury, E. Gorey (favorite illustrator, story-teller & humorist), Vonnegut, Gary Larsen still makes me piss myself
& the orig Curious George stories ~ I've loved that little monkey since I was 3 : )
Newspapers: the NYT Science, Art sections & the Village Voice for the concerts & art show scene scheds & for the best Sag horoscope out! ~lol

Heroes:

My Grandparents~
They were devoted, nuturing caretakers in my life. They raised me as one of their own children. They provided a loving, stable home & comfortable upbringing for me, full of generosity & unconditional love. W/out them, life would've been very different.
Although they are gone now, they live on inside me & are in my thoughts each day. The example they set influences every decision I make, every action I take, how I stand up for what I feel is right, how I take care of myself & others in my life, who I choose to keep close, my sense of honesty, devotion & work ethic, as well as my appreciation for life & the beauty of nature.
My grandfather set the best example of what a good, loving, faithful man is & taught me to have respect for myself so I'd never settle for anything less in my own life.
They loved each other, their family & me so much, they set a beautiful standard for how to live life & raise a family.
~Poppa & Ma xoxo
