anlimara's My Space
What I do: I play piano and guitar and work as a music teacher. I also play in a band since three years and we are busily working :)
Music: Music is a very important part of my life and I listen to very different styles of music: classical music, rock, indie, world music, jazz and experimental.
Some of my faves: Arts:
I like going to museums and visiting art exhibitions and watching all kinds of weird
stuff. The paintings I liked the most are the classical modernists like Claude Monet, Paul
Cézanne, all the French impressionists, the German painters Emil Nolde, Paul Klee, 'Der Blaue Reiter',
and I love Kurt Schwitter's MERZ (the founder of Dada)! Other Interests: I'm interested in politics, culture and society, so I read
a lot of magazines and newspapers. But when I find the time I love reading a good book: mainly I
read non-fiction books, but I liked and like the books of Umberto Eco (all kind of subjects),
Luciano De Crescenzo (philosophy),
D.H. Lawrence (the English society), H.G. Wells (science fiction), Stanislaw Lem (science fiction),
Jack Kerouac (you know, the BEAT generation author), T.C. Boyle & Hanif Kureishi (both writing in a way about the
clash of cultures in nowadays society with a smiling eye), Arthur Rimbaud (poetry), Heinrich
Heine (the most intelligent and charming poet and analyst of his time, I guess)...
So I see - I seem to be one of these intellectual a**holes, isn't it, because I really like these things - *smile* !
Besides that I like riding my bicycle, doing walks in the parks, in the city, in a forest when I find the time,
I love mediterrean cooking and inviting friends for eating it, I liked going to cafes and bars,
smoking and meeting people there (which I entirely quit - all of it *g* !), I like the movies a lot
and go to the cinemas as often as possible, and now, living on the countryside since a while, I love
visiting the next city and feel a bit more 'pulse of life' there. I think, in my heart I'm a person
who wants to live in the city :) I like learning languages - since a while I try to learn
Turkish - and I'm very fascinated about experiencing the different kind of life styles that
come together now in our modern society i.e. the people from the Orient coming to the Western
world and dealing with it...
It seems, I like making websites, trying things with my computer
and spending a good amount
of time in the Web, meeting people there whom I cherish a lot. But I really try not to let that get out
of control - LOL !
Heroes: Erich Fromm:
Umberto Eco:
Patti Smith:
David Bowie: Leonardo DiCaprio:
Travelling:
When I was younger I loved travelling a lot, and I had the joy and opportunity to visit
France a lot of times, Paris, Italy, Portugal, Rome, Switzerland, Prague, Turkey, Istanbul,
Israel,
& Egypt (Kairo) - to also mention the cities which made the deepest impression on me... Now I regret I don't have the money for it any more these times.... The Future: For a long time it has been my big dream to emigrate
to California, to San Francicso and live in the city which I think is one of the most
interesting and most beautiful ones in the world. It doesn't seem to work. So, as my thinking of
the past and of the future has always something to do with the South, the sun, the liveliness
of the Southern lifestyle, I can imagine to leave this place one day for to go to the South of France,
or, more far away, to the Bosporus, to a city 'between Orient and Occident' - to Istanbul - to
spent the rest of my life there..... Coda Okay - I'm not sure if this stuff really should be in the
Internet. I don't know if the 'Web 2.0' really is a good thing. And I know everyone
can create a new and totally fictional identity in the Internet if he feels to do so. So
I haven't made up my mind yet.... [ November 22, 2007 ] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX |
anlimara's blog Sorry, no blogs yet
anlimara's website:
Here's the community where you can find anlimara:
~NEW~ Spirituality: Please visit my new Spirituality Links Page !
Ecology: There is no money for a Toyota Prius Hybrid or a nobel Lexus limousine, so I usually ride my bicycle for short distances or use the bus and sometimes the train. My friend drives an old car. I didn't make any trip by airplane in years. We use energy-saving light bulbs. We practice waste seperation since many years. We live in a hundred-years-old German timber-framed house and installed recently a very modern natural gas heating system into it without any state-sponsoring. As natural gas became incredibly expensive within the last years, we alternate using this heating with burning firewood or old furnitures. It's beyond our possibilities to install a modern solar panel on the roof. I don't eat much meat. I've been voting green since I can think. * Best ecological movies everyone on planet should have seen: The Day After Tomorrow by Roland Emmerich An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore (I haven't seen Leonardo's '11th Hour' yet, but I fully support him in this subject.)
Animals: My dog has been a nice black lady named Masha and she's no longer here... We have a cat with the beautiful full name Diego 'Strolch' Flohbus - *smile* - but most of the time he's called (with a tender voice) "Na du", or sometimes (reproachfully) "Soso !" - and be sure he understands all of that ! I'm a big fan of polar bear KNUT from the Berlin zoo. My favourite animals are elephants; unfortunately they are too big to have one for my own :)
