About me:
Paradoxical, open-minded, very honest and simple. Can be very blunt and mischievious! I do not fit in any category. I am an entirely unique individual and therefore will not fit any of your standards. I mean what I say and I live by my word. I am a free spirit and I do not adhere to any morality but my own. I am loyal beyond the call of duty and I do not lie. I will let you get away with some bullshit because I like you but I will not stand around and be pummeled by your mean whims. You have probably never met anyone like me so if you are looking for someone generic, go on to the next page! I am a bookworm, a museum rat, yet also a party fiend. I am very strong but very loving, very masculine and very powerful. I do not use my sex to gather interest, nor do I need to deceive in order to be loved! I am almost always in love, sometimes even with the very air I breathe! And...if you have heard some crazy gossip about me, ask me before believing in it, I will tell you which are true and which aren't! (thank you EVELYN!)
i'm an eclectic and eccentric filmmaker that entices you to come into a world of visual stimuli. i am also clairvoyant.

Been a while since i made a comment and this week i decided to keep it simple, elaborate..serious or even silly comments take some time to make and require the proper mood ...
with hopes that everything is alright with you & the little world around you ... Have a great week !!!
Heres a quote that caught my attention the other day by C.S.Lewis
“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”
