Infinitely curious, perhaps even daring; introverted, but outspoken, engaging; on the go for > adventure, a doer.
Exerciser of imagination, a sucker for creativity. Honesty delivered with respect is the best policy with me.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: ranges from classical (fav. Chopin) to electronic, industrial, rock (old-timers: Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie...) lounge, grunge, alternative... kinda “survived” the teens with NIN, fresher choices will be Kings of Leon, the Temper Trap...
MOVIES: David Lynch (Wild at Heart) Lars Von Tier (Breaking the Wave - such a tearjerker, Antichrist) , Pedro Almodovar (Tie me up Tie me down - so funny!!), Stanley Kubrick (Shinning, Clockwork Orange), David Cronenberg (Dead Ringers, Crash), Roman Polanski (Bitter Moon ), multiple from Coen Brothers, big fan of Woody Allen - charming neurotic... (Midnight in Paris, Vicky Christina Barcelona, Deconstructing Harry), foreign cinema (French - Betty Blue, Le Fille Sur le Pont or multiple with talented Daniel Auteuil), on the later note intrigued w/ Scandinavian film.
BOOKS: going down the memory lane - anything from Kafka or Dostoevsky (some say somber, I suggest hits the right spot of human depth), Nabokov (Lolita - greatest loves story, perpetual question of existence in Pale Fire), Gustav Flaubert’ beautiful writing style, amusing Oscar Wilde (Picture of Dorian Gray), Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse, numerious plays by Tennessee Williams and Jean-Paul Sartre, at the quest for understanding human wonder - Erich Fromm (Art of Loving, Escape from Freedom), I’m quite a Jungian - any reads from this great master and human are welcome, can also give in some insightful new wave/ buddhism as Pema Chodron (Wisdom of no Escape, When Things Fall Apart were great reads to assist at not such a great time in life)...
Always open to recommendations too (:
