About Me

I'm Frank. In every sense of the word. Which is both my greatest moral quality and greatest character flaw. Friendship is the cornerstone of the human social fabric and the single most important thing there is in life. I firmly believe that substance should trump image, not the other way around.

As a rule, I'm fully invested in everything that I do. These past couple of years, I have been involved in the development of three major web projects and have spent hundred of hours bringing other people's visions to reality.

My projects

Episode Guides.com Sassociations Penpals Informanews.net

I always enjoy a good challenge and I would welcome the opportunity to be a part of some additional projects.

My Interests

Thinking; thinking some more; learning about science and technologies; making web sites; watching films; art movies; anime fansub; a little music; some television; playing Tetris, solitary, DOOM;

I'd like to meet:

Someone whose thoughts are free and run like a river. Streaming floods filled with the food of knowledge. Grace through humbleness. Beauty of the mind. People who are special in their own unique ways.

Contacting Frank

Music:

No favorites. Anything that has a good grove will keep me in tune for a few minutes.

Movies:

Mostly art films because they stand high and above the level of typical Hollywood fluff. I generally favor movies that present unique perspectives on life, human behaviors and society in general.

- Romance classics Pretty woman; Bridget Jones' Diary
-Stories of relinquished or forbidden love Aimee & Jaguar; Lost and Delirious
- Suspense and thrillers Silence of the Lambs
- Fiction and societal concepts Underworld (2005)

Television:

Just a few Japanese animes these days like Witch Hunter Robin, Noir, Blue Drop, Blood+, Claymore etc.

Heroes:

My grandfather. He was my father figure. For more than thirty years he was a devoted husband and good family man. When I was little I'd stay with him all day long and just talk. It was hard on me when he died. Even today just thinking about him still brings out tears in my eyes.

How can you tell?

Is there really a link between societal success and moral qualities? Can you accurately judge a book by its cover, people by what they look like? Maybe it's all in the eyes as some people claim. I hav...
