À propos de moi

CURRENT MISSION

It changes all the time. I currently hope to organize an international project to promote top notch, young classical musicians and classical music and another project to get a local politician elected as mayor of her district.

ABOUT ME

A rennaissance man (and anyone who knows me would agree). If I could know everything there is to know and have every talent, I'd be happy.

I started life in Brooklyn, was raised in Mexico in the circle of the great surrealist artists that had emigrated there after the war, was a featured actor in a big budget movie (premiere in Hollywood, Beverly Hilton, lights in the sky...), later lived through the Hippy movement, went to Woodstock, was beaten during the Democratic convention in Chicago (68), SDS sympathizer, but later was an intelligence analyst in the U.S. Navy and managed to fly in an A6 Intruder and to see the aurora borealis at sea, inside the arctic circle. Attended university in Paris, gave a conference in Poland about Andean cosmology, negotiated a pharmaceutical contract with China (shortly after China reemerged into the world (1984)), wrote a couple of novels (published), went to Belgium, managed a small company, taught English, and have worked as a copywriter, an international development manager for another pharmaceutical company. I am also very proud to have an outstanding (in both senses of the word!) warrant for my arrest pending (I hope it still is)in Nigeria for "calumny against a federal state" (can any of you do better? I think it's a unique charge so I'm sure you can understand my pride). I have written a number of texts on economics and education, have been a communications specialist, a technical journalist and a photographer...

My wife is also a published writer (from Argentina)

PHILOSOPHY

I am a fervent pantheist (inspired by Spinoza and the Baal shem Tov, among others, and believe that nothing in more fulfilling than a close relationship between a man and a woman (as the suffi mystic, Ibn Arabi said in the 12th century: " the easiest way to find got is through a woman" (the opposite would have applied as well presumably...). I am passionate about secularism and object to religion being anything but a private matter.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new and have done nothing but listen to the stories (and complaints) of my ex-wife - who has participated in CS a great deal - and my best friend who is one of the most active and best noted Belgian members.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Vicarious

Centres d'intérêt

Practically everything, but here is a basic list: my family, systems thinking, general semantics, family therapy, educational theory (Piaget), alternate economics, history (Poland, Jewish, post revolutionary Mexico, economics), photography, aviation, all of the arts. I am passionate about classical music, painting and literature (in 3 languages), philosophy and politics. Wine, Russian, Spanish and other foods.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

At one time I was a fairly competent cinephile and was passionate about pre-1980 cinema (U.S, French, Swedish,British, Russian,Italian) . I rarely miss good films particularly Mexican, Spanish and Argentinian, these days. I have a real passion for classical music and for promoting it; other music as well (international tastes, many, many types). I am currently going through a Russian period and I am crazy about Anna Vinnitskaya, Martha Argerich, Anne Quéffelec and my latest discovery the American, Simone Dinnerstein. I read books by the ton in 3 languages; reading is a real vice. I not only read books but magazines and I am an avid "New Yorker" fan.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Flown in an A6 Intruder, been to the arctic circle, been a movie actor in a film with Brigitte Bardot, played marbles with a rat in a hospital, flown in a DC3 and in a glider (yes I love aviation)and many, many others. I have had a very rich life and met extremely interesting people (some of them very well-known)
