I like my steak rare, liquor strong and my jokes inappropriate. And... I also like flowers. I'm a very good listener. I have no problem talking about my feelings and I even like to sing and dance. I am originally from Israel and I've lived in the States for a long time - both on the east coast and west coast.

Beginning a new five year plan to wealth, love and happiness...

Listening. Making someone else feel good. Making mixes. Picking restaurants. Planning. Adjusting to unforeseen circumstances. Picking up new languages. Faking accents. Telling stories about unusual things I've seen or heard about.

A visceral reaction to my presence - for good or for bad. I've been told my eyes are very strong and that my face is unusually expressive...

Books: Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman, The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, The Foundation series by Isaac Asimov, Ender's series by Orson Scott Card, Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.

Movies? I'm pretty selective. The last few I saw that I liked were Cloud Atlas and Samsara. A few favorites from the past are Blade Runner, Gattaca, The Matrix, Groove, Forrest Gump, The Fighter, The Departed, Old School, Stepbrothers, Royal Tenenbaums, Bring It On (Yes... I like that movie).

Music: I love a really wide variety. Day to day though I tend to listen to mixes that I make or these channels on Pandora: Fine Young Cannibals, Kaskade, Zero 7 or Instrumental Folk.

Food: Anything and everything as long it's high quality and well prepared... Favorites? Italian, Indian, Middle Eastern, French, German.

The feeling I get when...

1. An idea becomes reality
2. My path is clear
3. I make someone laugh very hard
4. Someone shows me love
5. Eating a good meal
6. Committing tiny harmless acts of mischief

Sex... Money... Food... Love... Happiness... Health... How to make sure that when I'm old and incontinent I can look back and say to myself that I love the life I lived...

... staying in and / or doing something low key. Saturday night is when I like to go out...

Occasionally I sit down alone with a bottle of whiskey, an ice cream sandwich and sing along to country music.
