I'm a searcher. An experimenter. A hero, a villain. A grown man, a child. I'm too young for it really, but I'm a hippie at heart. I want to save the world. Sometimes i forget, that I need to save myself first. I'm independent in what I think. Don't like to be pushed. I am like water. Gently flowing, hard on impact. I know much, but some of the most basic knowledge escapes me. I'm not giving up though. I can still learn. I'll never be too old for that.

Ending a relationship after 14 years taught me, that I'm still absolutely free to shape my life the way I want to. I could die tomorrow, therefore I'm living today. So what, if I made mistakes in the past, or if the future is uncertain. I can always find contentment, if not happiness in the present. Some things take time though. I'm not ignoring that. Especially this last year, I've found a measure of patience within myself, that I didn't know existed.

I found out, that I need to be surrounded by young people. When I was younger, I was drawn to older people, because they had something to say, something to offer, that those of my age group didn't. Now that I'm a little older myself, the situation has reversed. Most 40 year olds seem to have stagnated, are hopelessly narrow minded, have lost their vision. I want to be inspired. Talking with 20 year olds, causes my mind to shift into overdrive. I've learned that even though on the surface, what they say might be considered a little naive sometimes, they hold a depth of truth and insight, that has become precious to me.

I am open minded, thoughtful, and understanding

Rearanging it.

... listening. I want to understand.

My long hair.

Books

Considering, that I read about 60 to 100 books a year, I find it very hard to list any all time favorites at all. Listing one title would omit 100 others just as worthy. I used to read entirely for entertainment. When 20 years ago, I read books like Dune or Shibumi, I would start and finish them within a day.

Well nowadays I may still read for entertainment, but I also want to learn something. I have for instance read Nietsche in french: "Ainsi parlait Zarathustra". And the very first book I read in french was "Le petit prince". I had read it already of course, but not in french. The second one was "Le nom de la rose". Talk about daunting. I think it took me about fourteen days to finish. And even though I looked up a lot of words, at the time I only understood maybe half of it. What else comes to mind? How about "A Brief History of Time", or "Chaos Theory". An all time favorite of mine of course is "Websters College Dictionary". I still haven't read that front to back though... lol.

Movies

Just been in "Avatar", and saw it in 3D... just WOW!

Music

Basic rock... my first album (one of those black disks that run with 33 rpm) was "Dark Side of the Moon". Some Jazz... Klaus Doldinger was a major influence... but I'm open for a lot more. Just got into electronica this last year as an example.

Food

Sushi... YES! Did you know, that sushi started out as fast food? I wonder what the world would be like, if instead of McDonalds, there would be Yamamotos all over the place.

I like any well prepared, tasty, wholesome meal. You are what you eat... literally.

- My comfy home... Aww, it's not mine anymore.
- My car... wait! Just gave that to my ex.
- My sound system... Oh yes, you guessed it, it's gone too.
- ...

Ok, let's start over. How about:

- Hope
- Love
- Understanding
- A clear mind
- Contentment
- Sushi ;)

people, relationships, myself...

somewhere

I'm bisexual... but for all intents and purposes I'm straight... unless... you're sizzlin' hot ;)

you have something meaningful to say...
if you think I might like you...
if you're really smart, caring, and hot...
if you're pretty young, caring and hot... and think you'll get smart eventually... beware, I'll corrupt you ;)
