ALSO LOVE :
Candles, insence, yoga & meditation, painting to music, sunsets, stargazing, camping, canoeing, nature, mountain climbing & hiking (~*~ whoa ~*~ the Canadian rockies), outdoor summer festivals, biking, art museums & galleries, visual arts & multi-media, reading inspirational non-fiction, music/artist biographies & news, tabogganing with friends on bouncy rubber tires, cultural events and adventures - travelling to out of the way countries (century old temples, cathedrals, palaces, castles, ruins), motorbikes, comedy, photography, dance, indepth conversations on philosophy, mysticism, psychology & spirituality, research on anything and everything that interests me (cause I'm always thirsty for more information), really spicy food, Tam-Tam Sundays, my 2 cats, hot tubs, fireplaces, edible massage oils, huge lips to nibble on, tribal tattoos, doobage on weekends, long hours of creative lovemaking... and I could go on, but I'd be revealing a little too much.
As far as film ? documentaries, original, independent, underground : well-thought and make one think, spectacular nature and/or stunning cinematography, unique perspectives, well-edited, produced, directed, acted, and somewhat r.e.a.l.i.s.t.i.c., even when dealing with the paranormal or unexplained - don't much like the fluffy, big-budget, Hollywood stuff.
In general, I love surprises ! and am very curious by nature... so as far as books, arts, dance, theatre, photography, multimedia, music, etc., I prefer the unpredictable, they must be unique, reflective, have much depth & texture & take me somewhere... as music does :)

LOVE travelling !!!

also LOVE high~risk adventures !!!
Been told MANY times throughout my life, that I have more balls than most men, and that I've lived a life most people in their 60's have only dreamed of ~*~
From MY perspective ... I'm nowhere NEAR done yet ...
Strange though ... I take more risks with my life for the sake of experience and fun, than I do with my health ~*~ go figure ...


TRAVEL I'm planning ... coming (hopefully) soon :
The spots I ~*~dream~*~ to visit b4 I kick the bucket are ... India, the Himalayas (between Nepal and Tibet), the Andes mountains (between Peru and Argentina), Egypt, Africa, Malaysia, Indonesia, Laos, Mongolia, New Zealand, and the Australian outback.
