Do you feel you have a purpose for existing? If so, what do you feel that purpose is?

At the moment, my sense of purpose for existing is bruised quite a bit but normally what keeps me on my feet and going.... is that I wish to learn and grow as an artist (music, oil painting and writing) and also a little bit in the 'area' of philosophy. Piecemeal.

For short, (for me), living is learning.

Do you have an adage, a suiting saying, you try to remember always?

A brand new car of my own, wouldn't be too bad. I suppose a dame in the passengers seat would be nice too. :P


What would, at this very moment, make you feel extremely uncomfortable (in distress)?

I'm distressed at the moment.... (for about a week now). This coming Wednesday I'm being 'forced' to talk to a psychologist and my care-manager and in my head I'm being pretty occupied with that. Feels really uncomfortable (and distracted) but hey.... we're not in 'The Haven' here. (sorry)

(mine is; 'Dawn of the dead' by 'Does it offend you, yeah' at present but.... ) is there a song that you put on repeatedly these days? (sort of comforting song)

I'm sorry to hear about that. It's horrible to be forced to do something.

Not a single song, but I find that the songs recorded by Willie McTell in his 1927 session for the Victor Record Company have something about the guitar in them that calms me.

Have you ever ridden a horse? If you have, would you please give us a comment on your experiences with horse-riding?

i don't know if it counts as 'horseriding' but when the kids were in primary school, I had a ride with one of them on a big farmer's horse (don't know how that's called in english).
it was whithout a saddle and with a blanket, not that easy at all, but vey enjoyable.


i pass the question to a real horse rider ...

Riding a horse is an amazing, exciting, and scary experience. ^^ You are on this huge, powerful animal, that's as gentle as a lamb, but as strong and free as a wild big cat. ^^ I took lessons when I was ten to when I was 12 or something like that. :) I stopped due to jealousy of other riders for being "better" then me at advancing in their riding lessons. But my goodness...I would love to ride a horse again...

And speaking of horses and wild cats....

What is your favorite animal?
