Carnival Evening
by Henri Rousseau

This painting is one of my favorites by Rousseau and I find it always evokes a feeling of magical wonder.
May your Halloween be just as awesome.

In the midst of Autumn as Halloween approaches I post here my very favorite Halloween song. This is a powerful Scottish ballad that is hundreds of years old whose origin is obscured in the dense mists of the past. It encompasses the realms of mortals and immortals, the conscious and subconscious, and the transformative power of love. For, after all, isn't Halloween really about the connections between the worlds of the temporal and the eternal. Don't all of us wish, at least a bit, to liv... read more

Come with me, please, and
See loneliness - one last leaf
On the cherry tree.

Our days will be oh, so ecstatic,
Our nights will be oh, so exotic,
For I'm a neurotic erratic,
And you're an erratic erotic.

Monday I shall try to simultaneously lower the unemployment rate and reduce global warming. I have a job interview with a new small company that is developing a process to produce bio-fuel. One does what one can. I'm looking forward to it.

about me
I am a free spirit (or at least an inexpensive one), dancing fool, and chemist who also has a fondness for alchemy and other forms of magic. Alchemy is all about transformations; usually the transformation of "base" metals, such as lead, into gold. I eschew such blatant materialism and focus my energy on the transformation of knowledge and wisdom into joy. I love science and view 'natural philosophy', as it used to be called, as a method for deep explorations and respect for nature. When I am out of the lab I gravitate toward anything but logic. I have a particular fondness for Art in all its forms... visual, written, musical, film ...and on and on. I care passionately about human rights, freedom of expression, peace, people, our dear irreplaceable planet, and people - especially those who care about me.

I am down-to-earth, secure, bright, warm, open-minded, playful, generous, affectionate, and above all positive.

My Testimonials (awwww...)

January 10, 2007
I got nothin' but love for this guy.
He's intelligent, thoughtful and always has a kind word to say. At times when my closest friends weren't there for me, Mark would leave me an email that day or comment on a photo I had posted. It really brightened my day.

He is always genuine and comes with good intentions. That alone is almost impossible to give 100% guarantee on, but I will stand by that statement with all of me.

If you're looking for a wonderful guy who's caring and will always have a positive and warm disposition nearly everytime you talk to him......look no further.

Thanks for being my friend.
