“If we can't have everything, true perfection is nothingness.”

– Federico Fellini's "8 1/2"

Hello my friends / Bonjour mes amis / Hola mis amigos / こんにちは私の友人 / Hallo meine freunde / Ciao i miei amici / дравствулте мои друзья

I like sunrises better than sunsets. I like the way the Irish say "Good morning." I like winter and summer equally. I hate spring. I like movies better than books. I love books. I like the sound of calloused fingers sliding down a guitar string. I like listening better than talking. I love listening to people who don't usually talk much. I like loud music and bold colors. I love Martin Scorsese. I like traffic when I have no where to be. I like the word "odyssey," but I hate the way it's spelled. I don't like violence. I like dark humor. I dislike odd numbers. I like French New Wave films. I like the smell of peppermint on my hands. I hate dried-up erasers. I like men, but sometimes I don't like some of them. I love men. I like skiing and snowboarding equally. I love skiing. I like blueberries. I don't like or dislike people who I haven't met. I love people who don't realize how beautiful they are. I like the sound of busy streets. I like the crinkly sound that old paper makes. I like being alone and being with friends equally. I hate writing, but I love having written.
