I am quiet, dreamy, and idealistic.

My Self-Summary

I'm on the quiet and introvert side, idealistic but in a rational fashion. Value learning and humility and kindness. I called NYC home for the last six years, coming from north africa. The move was likely the bravest thing i've done and i'm satisfed with the outcome but i sometimes yearn to a slower life style, that involves less commute and more time to enjoy nature and a family life.
I want to meet a woman who is naturally kind, loving, and sweet all the way. We will probably get along better if she has worldly values and has been in some sort of struggle. I'm very well adapted but i will probably never uderstand baseball rules or know the cartoon character that she has enjoyed in her childhood. Which implies willingness to cross some bridges but no oceans.

What I’m doing with my life

Consuming it.

The first things people usually notice about me

Probably that i speak with a foreign accent.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

These all tend to change frequently. 'One hundred years of solitude' was a great read. I've seen 'Repentance' (a realtively old Georgian movie about the communism era) lately and i thought it was a great movie. 'Anouar Brahem' delights me over and over.

The six things I could never do without

I can do without most things, except the trivial.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I was going through my old emails and i found a poem that i wrote to a woman that i liked a few years ago. She sprained her ankle while walking on a slippery sidewalk:

Dieu, maitre de l'univers
Je te supplie d'écouter ma prière
Fais disparaitre de la terre
Les entorses de chevilles et des talons
Et je redeviendrai un bon croyant
Toi le capable, le tout puissant
Et si cela est trop demande
Fais que sa douleur disparait
Qu'il neige plus sur les trottoirs
Et que soleil et beau temps couvrent la terre
Fais qu'elle retrouve la pleine santé
Et rends a elle sa sourire et gaieté

It didn't work :)
