About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Wenn Musik Deine Seele berührt wie der warme Körper eines geliebten Menschen. When music touches your soul like the warm body of a beloved person. Cuando la música toca tu alma igual que el cuerpo caliente de un ser amado. Quand la musique touche ton âme comme le corps chaud d'un être bien-aimé. + + + + + + "Everyone complains about marriage, but no one remembers to praise its wonderful extravagances, like sleeping next to a warm body, like sandwiching one's feet with somebody else's feet. To talk at night and share what has happened in a day. To put some order to one's thoughts." (Sandra Cisneros "Caramelo")+ + + + + + And another from the same book: "When you don't know how to use your emotions, your emotions use you". + + + + + + "Love like you've never been hurt and dance like no one's watching" (in my view this is not only true for lost relationships, but also for love towards your partner, towards the kids and parents, because with or without intention, you get also hurt by them from time to time) as to the "dance" part, I'm still working on it, lol. + + + + + + In the early 70s I listened to Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, some Uriah Heep, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull; but also classical music (Liszt, Vivaldi, Bach). * * * * * After I moved to Mexico in 1981, Jazz had a great influence on me, there was a radio channel transmitting jazz all the time, and I got to know a lot of great artists then "desde el piso 42 de la torre latinoamericana, jazz fm estéreo", :) * * * * * Back in Germany almost 3 years later, I got to know the music of Juan Luis Guerra and Willie Colón (actually better to dance+listen than just listen), and I discovered the "World of Narada", New Age, Chill Out. * * * * * In the late 90s I came back to my early roots, which I felt then fitted my soul for various reasons, a need for powerful music and deep lyrics, expressing exactly how I felt and discovered the bands that are my favorites now (see music section of my profile) without forgetting the others.

My Interests

Music (listening, going to concerts, playing), family, friends, nature (waterfalls, forests, sea, favorite plants: ferns, roses), zoos (fav. animals leopard, cats, geckos, dart frogs, pythons) art, reading, travelling (Mexico, Thailand, Hawaii, Egypt, Eifel, North Sea, Baltic Sea), Cirque du Soleil, languages

I'd like to meet:

Refer to music and books section, :). And, well, probably Jesus and Buddha and Rubens and the Alien from Stargate, ;-), again and again some charismatic persons I was lucky enough to meet alerady, and then meet again my "däddy", my grandmother and my parents-in-law, but that will have to be in another life or in heaven or wherever, but hopefully I will.

Music:

Diary of Dreams is my favorite band. Their incredible combination of sound, lyrics, voice and live presence is most impressive for me. Whether I'm happy, sad, angry or worried, listening to their music always has a positive effect on my mood. ***** The space left for other music and artists is mostly occupied with: MADRUGADA, SAN PASCUALITO REY, AVISHAI COHEN, YOUSSOU N'DOUR***** I also like DON PULLEN, LEE RITENOUR, MICHAEL FRANKS, OTTMAR LIEBERT, SONJA KANDELS. BEN ONONO. ***** My favorite classical piece is Totentanz-Franz Liszt (a lot of bombastic piano parts) *****Other songs I like: Glass-System Syn, You just died-Icon of Coil, La Troia-Silence, Strobe-Front242, Cathode Ray Sunshine-Dark Tranquility, My Kantele-Amorphis, Ecos-Hocico (saludos desde Alemania!), Hate is mine-Wumpscut, Strange behaviour-Orpheus in red velvet, Jeden Morgen-Letzte Instanz, Winter again-Sara Noxx, Farewell my beloved-Opalessence, Advance-Diorama, Gaia-Tiamat, Nature's interface-Haujobb, Closer-Anathema, Die Ruhe vor dem Sturm-ASP, Evolution-Decoded Feedback, Roter Schnee-Feindflug, Zauberschloss-In Strict Confidence, Learn and Teach-Spektralized, Gateway-Panzer AG, Ascension-Sitd, Need you like a drug-Zeromancer, Coward-Aesthetic Perfection, Amour amour-Rammstein, In the end-Linkin Park, Le Tatouage Bleu and Badagry Beach-Ben Onono, Hope-Youssou N'Dour, Cigarette in the Rain-Randy Crawford***** And from time to time it's nice to listen to some latin tunes from Willie Colon, Juan Luis Guerra or Rubén Blades.

Movies:

Stargate (the alien figure, incredible, combined with my old love for ancient Egypt), The cell (amazing how they put thoughts into pictures), Como agua para chocolate (the old times in Mexico), House of flying daggers (great effects and story), Terminator (the special effects in T2!), Mars attacks (for a good laugh), The 13th floor (what if...), Alien (untopped), The green mile (just great), Dragonfly (sad sad), Finding Nemo (cute!), Once were warriors (die letzte Kriegerin)(just too sad to watch again), Apocalypto, K-Pax, The Green Mile, Das Parfum, and last but not least the ancient Pink Panther cartoons :-)

Television:

Not much except the news or documentaries

Books:

If you look for books to cheer you up, read Arto Paasilinna, a witty author from Finland. The latest impressive book I read was "Life of Pi", Other authors I like: Javier Marías (Corazón tan blanco, Mañana en la batalla piensa en mi), Gabriel García Márquez (Relato de un náufrago), John Irving (The fourth hand, A widow for a year), Nick Hornby (About a boy, The long way down), Anthony Burgess (The doctor is sick), Paulo Coelho (Der Alchimist), B. Traven (Das Totenschiff, most of his other novels are about the circumstances during the Mexican revolution: Die Rebellion der Gehenkten, Trozas, etc.), Michael Crichton (Travels, Eaters of the dead - based on true scripts, not just the movie)

Heroes:

Artists: because there's a lot of things you can learn by practice (languages, computer skills, etc.), but the energy, devotion and inspiration of artists is unique!!

Also IM Wasser findet ihr mich nicht, wenn Wellen sind, aber zum Anschauen sind sie immer wieder schön.

Was lernt so ein myspace-Neuling wie ich? Erst das Profil bearbeiten, dann ums Adden bitten ;-)

Aber nun ist Abhilfe geschaffen.
