A myriad of philosophies and myths

About Me

What can I say? shhhh... ideas coming, ideas coming.... no, sorry a brainwave just washed them away :O) What do I like? So many things; writing 'til the sun comes up, singing my heart out, (feel sorry for my neighbors... lol) secret smiles, listening to good music, feeling the adrenaline rush from parachuting, rafting, horseback riding, car racing, long walks at sundown, thunderstorms, nature, taking pictures, experimenting with watercolor, good talks with friends, cheering up the team, (three of my friends are into extreme sports together, they're crazy but I love them) gatherings with the "gang" (lol, it sounds like we're a bunch of "gangsters" hehe) cooking, playing with my babies, (two guinea pigs, two ferrets and a hamster) a good sense of humor, common sense, wit, truth, being upfront (gets me in trouble sometimes, oh well...) What I don't like; violence, procrastination, cruelty, polution, car trouble, (I seem to be really creative with these) bad drivers, material people, lies, bad humor, insensitive people, freezing my butt in winter cleaning the yard, (there should be some kind of portable butt warmer with an "in case of emergency" label) bad Carol's singers, Halloween with no costumes party, being away from my family and life long friends (Lore, Luly and Vicky) I miss you all!!! Well, my fingers hurt, so I guess that's enough for now... :o)

My friend's top list will be randomly updated, no offenses to anyone. People I don't interact with in any level, will be removed.

My Interests

symbology, mysticism, science, (astronomy, chemistry, physics, math, quantum theory) study of religions, arts, music, singing, theatre and sooo many more I guess I could probably fill the page! :o)

I'd like to meet:



I have been to that
heaven where his light
Beams brightest and seen
things that none, returning,
Has the knowledge or
the power to repeat,

Because as it draws near
to its desire,
Our intellect sinks down
to such a depth
That memory cannot trace
its way back there.

(Paradise I, 4-9)

Music:

There are many artists and groups that have inspired and touched me with their music. They are varied in both eras and styles... from the Beatles to Bob Marley, the Rolling Stones to Enigma. When there is passion and talent it just shows, no matter what of music it is.

Movies:

I love epic, romatic and mystery movies. But of all, my all time favorites are animated movies. Guess I'll never grow tired of them :O) Some of my favorites are Ghost, Alexander and Who framed Rogger Rabbit? hehe

Television:

I have practically no time for it, but I love Supernatural and enjoy Gilmore Girls when I have a chance to watch it. Also like the witty humor of Sex and the City.

Books:

Any Khalil Gibran book, Og Mandino, Paulo Cohelo. My favorite book ever? The little Prince, by Saint Antoine Exupery.

Heroes:

My parents showed me a way into music and spirituality, so they get to be my closest heroes.

Peeling off citric critics

There are several works of art that possess an extraordinary quality that I prefer to call ingenuity for lack of a better word. An insular ingenuity in both a literal and a broader sense, an innocenc...
