I have dated two Russian women previously. They were both lovely, intelligent, attractive and talented people. They were both proffessionals (one was a classically trained musician and the other the head of a russian news agency in asia).
I have no complaints about either. They were delightful and there was no suggestion that either was intersted in me for money (I do not give an impression of having any!).
I wish I could have stayed and continued to further my relationships with either of them.
'Empire of the Sun' or 'Alien' (so many good ones to choose from) although I just saw a new contender for the No. 1 spot the other day on a plane. I had never heard of it before, brand new but surprisingly good. It is called 'Cloud Atlas'. stars Tom Hanks, Hale Berry, Hugo Weaving. I recommend it if you have not seen it.
Favourite directors - Ridley Scott and Vincent Ward.
Tell your producer or casting manager that if you need a Mel Gibson look-alike for your Mad Max lead; I am very available and willing to work cheap! (I often have people at work telling me that I look like him!)
It would depend in the style of movie you wish to shoot Sara.
When Vincent Ward wanted to find a location for his very dark movie 'Vigil' he was reported to have driven thirty thousand kilometres to scout for a location and ended up in the Uriti Valley in Taranaki (which really is dark!).
There has already been a road movie shot in NZ called 'Goodbye Pork Pie' in which the protagonists flee the length of the country in a yellow Mini Cooper but it didn't really show off the best of the landscapes and there is certainly room for another movie of the type of which you describe.
While I am from the North Island I have had many trips to the South Island and if you were to shoot any movie there you can't really go wrong. As one Hollywood director recently said; "It didn't matter what direction you pointed the camera, it was just one breathtaking vista after another".
I have had a couple of Pinay girlfriends in the past and I consider them to be quite wonderful. They are a bit of an unusual blend as while they are Asian and bring all the marvellous things that Asian women represent (beauty, caring, empathy, respect) they also have that European (latin) influence in their language, culture and cuisine.
To my ear they sound like the Mexicans of Asia and it can be an intoxicating mix. They also have the social extrovertion of their European forefathers and this is a differentiator for them from other asian ethnicities.
Philippinas are muscially gifted, always singing and dancing (very well) and like other Asian cultures always warm, welcoming and very hospitable.
I have also worked with many Phillis in my industry (both men and women) and they are one of my favourite peoples. Where I have the choice to employ someone from the Asian region they are at the top of my list of candidates. I have never noticed any of the negative characteristics suggested in the subject of the post and am hoping that silly attitudes like that described are dying out.
Clearly your understanding of the word 'oxymoron' is lacking a little. An oxymoron is not a person it is a contradiction. 'Oxymoronic' does not mean stupid it means contradictory or illogical in nature. I was not being derogatory, simply descriptive. I certainly would not want others to agree with my all my perspectives otherwise I would be no different from them and have nothing to distinguish me intellectually from the bourgeoisie!
'For all beliefs cannot be equally valid and true. According to the law of non-contradiction...Opposite ideas cannot both be true at the same time in the same sense.'
This is your statement I most strongly disagree with. By definition beliefs are not fact (otherwise we would call it science) and therefore if not factual no one belief or belief system is more valid than any other. If you believe that your Christian beliefs are somehow more 'right' or valid than say, the beliefs of a buddhist for example, well there really is no hope left for us as a species. Can you not see that beliefs are simply that? Your beliefs, not anyone elses.
This was a very weird blog. The first couple of lines started out very promising but then it decayed into chaos and unintelligible gibberish!
But to attempt to answer the questions posted; No you cannot (by definition) catch celibacy from your parents and while I am not 'against it' per se I don't see it as particularly natural.
Sincerely hope I'm not on your list of dodgy men miss Ranjilyn.
Of course it's only white guys who are players right? Never African, Asian, Hispanic, Polynesian or Middle-Eatern men who play around. They are all straight as an arrow eh!
My schedule is decidedly...empty. I'm obviously a discgrace to my ethnicity!
There are many examples of people falling in love through the written word and/or still photographs. It can happen though I feel the same as you. I need to speak with someone in person even be tactile with them to develop that level of closeness.
I expect khun Songkran agrees with you. Perhaps Khon Esan are more in touch with the physical world than the metaphysical one.
But reality is much more than physical theory. The more you consider it the more you conclude that reality is as multifarious as the individuals observers.
Like two aunts arguing over the 'truth' about the colour of a scarf, history is only one version of what actually occurred depending on who observed it and who recorded it.
The ultimate extension of this is that there is no reality...
...and there is no truth.
Bend your mind around that fellow existensiallists.
Perhaps one of the most intelligent and tallented actors of our age.
That core of highly intellectual and excriciatingly funny commedians which include Laurie, Stephen Fry, Rowan Atkinson, Richard Curtis, Mirranda Richardson and Dawn French were an exrtraordinary vein of British humour which occurs every couple of decades.
We are much the richer for their coallescence and confluence.
"Happiness is illusory. It's like your shadow - the more you chase it the faster it runs away"
The reason I say this is because the concept 'happiness' as we understand it is not quite correct. People often think, "Oh if I just had that new house/car/husband/wife/job/holiday I'd be happy" but of course we need to realign our thinking on what happiness is.
In reality it is a psychological condition, arguably an emotion and all emotions are temporary. When circumstances conspire to render a positive emotional shift as dictated by the chemistry occuring in our cerebral organics away from a neutral position this is what most associate to be happiness. This is the way the human mind operates.
The odd thing about it that often it is things that our cognitive mind fails to perceive as the catalysts for 'happiness' which trigger such emotional shifts and we often beleive that it has a spontaneous nature.
My theory, therefore is that people who appear to spend more time than others feeling 'happiness' are those who naturally have a better understanding of what motivating factors are the real cataylsts for themselves which generate their own real states of happiness.
Outside of those consideration; I blame the Tibetans.
