About me
Unless otherwise stated Tao Te Ching Translation used is www.Taoism.net and Tao Te Ching: Annotated & Explained, published by SkyLight Paths in 2006.Hi, Love reading and movies especially Hong Kong and Oriental films , and have a passion about role playing games, especially Exhalted and Qin. :) My philosophy/religion is Taoism.
I love dogs and live my life around them. Am also a Veggie mainly Vegan, and beleive that animal and humans should be treated with respect at all times :)
My Favorite fiction books are, To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee, and Waiting by Ha Jin, Hong Kong films, Tai Chi Master, Hero and my all time favorite philsophical film is Fearless (hua Jin Ha) a truely magnificent film whcih perfectly captures the Taoist way. Some other Oriental films i love are, Yojimbo, Infernal Affairs. Hollywood films Star Wars and Lord Of the Rings amongst others inclduing History of Violence, Road to Perdition, and the Crow (Brandon Lee).
To describe myself i would say, i can be kind, love to laugh at life, like people and animals alike :) Having recently come into true inner harmonic blance life is like sailing on calm sea even when a storm is raging outside. :)
