Reading, Writing, Music, playing guitar, piano, and whistling, I love anything creative - However, I tire of the, we have to be self-pitying abject garbage - horror and deceit are the easiest things to find amongst humanity. Show me a little beauty and I will respect you. I'll go to the Ninth Bolgia of Dante's Inferno with you, but grip a little hope at the end. I love to eat food from around the globe. I love language, semiotics, pragmatics, Derrida and Wittgenstein. Also,I love to make people laugh - the sound of laughter is intoxicating....I love to cook for people. Watching someone enjoy the passion and love you served them, is, exhilarating...as long as the passing of gas happens after we leave the table...There are limits to one's thanks.
Someone with a deep sense of honor and hospitality towards others. Please, no self-aggrandizing, solipsistic, bitter (chip on the shoulder) egoists. Someone with passion and a sense of wonder. Also, someone that can think without saying, "Outside the box".. Corporate metaphorical BS...!!!Also, I do not have any desire to part of some bimbo's friend's list...Strippers make me want to vomit - while, I can say "I respect what you do, and that is your choice." I just think of Sand, Wollstonecraft, Chopin, Eliot, Nightingale, Sexton and dear old Virginia Woolf, and wonder, how many times can they turn in their graves before they vomit along with me.

The undulation of our ethos. Truly a crutch for the masses to whimper upon their own defeat. Could be a powerful tool, however tis nothingness in nothingness adorned.
