I am voshriki, dosh, and farno, farno!.

My Self-Summary

This is not my picture. I am married and if my wife or her friends saw me here, I would never hear the end of it.

As you can see from the skinny, I AM NOT LOOKING FOR RELATIONSHIPS OR SEX. (It's not you, it's me. Honest).

What do I want? I just want to escape this deep, foggy numbness that has overcome me with my mid-life. Mid-life is not like Middle Earth. It's more like dragging an anchor through a lake of treacle while chihuahuas gnaw at your extremities.

My point being: if you can just find one or two moments of magic, be it a connection, a poem, a joke, a shared appreciation of life in this crazy, cluttered world, if you can just find one or two things to savour every now and then, it makes it worth it. It's not escapism, it's carpe diem. It's touching the essence of life. Just for a moment.

What I’m doing with my life

Trying to earn a living, working in TV and movies.
Trying to raise 2 children.
Following Nellita's journal and blogs.
Blogging at Wordpress.
Following skeptical, humanist, atheist blogs and podcasts.

I’m really good at

Acting like a child.
Tolerating fools.
Seeing several sides of the story.
Coming up with ideas.
Writing.
Feeling sorry for myself.

The first things people usually notice about me

That I'm really quiet and distant. I come across as aloof. But I'm not.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Authors: Huxley, Joyce, Faulkner, Conrad, Hunter S Thompson (et al)
Poets: TS Eliot, WB Yeats,
Publications: Democracy Now, The Onion
Filmmakers: Martin Scorcese, Terry Gilliam, Claude Lelouch
Music: James Taylor, Iris Dement, Infected Mushroom, David Bowie, Rashid Lanie... etc.
Food: Thai/Vietnamese, Preferably vegetarian.

The six things I could never do without

music
massage oil
chocolate
wine (esp. red)

I spend a lot of time thinking about

where is love?
does it fall from skies above?

Er, no... but something like that. Thoughts change. Ideas enter in the natural flow of things.

One of my main concerns: How do I motivate myself to make the changes necessary to go forward in my life?

On a typical Friday night I am

Playing with the Wild Things.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm not as smart as I seem to be.

You should message me if

you score a high match with me and think maybe we could have an interesting chat. You know, nothing serious. Life is short, savour the moment, enjoy a little harmless flirtation. Whatever you do, don't try to convert me to your religion. You won't know what hit you. Seriously.
