Profiles Anyone?
I am always curious about my readers and commenters. If you ever have a few minutes to spare between tasks at your computer, I'd love it if you added some details to your profiles. You get a profile when you register to comment. You can start your own blog, or just list your favorite music or interests. One of my favorite features is the random question, which you can keep changing until you find one you'd like to answer. You can still remain anonymous. You can arrange for an e-mail link or not. I keep peaking to see if you have revealed anything for us to ponder.

The more the profiles the merrier I guess. I hope your not counting those done by the FBI CIA and NSA.
As I recall, the "Blind Date Contest" was in essence another profile based upon the questions being asked. I need to elaborate more on certain of my answers like my preferences and deal reakers but the mystery part is also intriguing.
I hope someone will solve my mystery at Eddie's Ledos this Thur eve.
AM,
Sounds like you are trying to get into our heads, to try to get to know how we feel, think and react to different situations ( external stimulus or stimuli )
That is why you are exceptionally good at matchmaking
BTW its deal breakers (somehow the B got dropped )
I'm not good at writing (blogging), unless I have something to say, but today I do. This gives more insight into me, too.
I don't know if the other members are into this, but I would highly recommend a ticket to a classical music concert. Today is an example of why I have been a fan for over 30 years. I attended an afternoon concert of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra with Andre' Watts as soloist on Brahms' 2nd Piano Concerto. It was an outstanding performance! As soon as I had seen it advertised in the paper, I ordered my ticket (based on Watts's reputation and the work on the bill) and I was not disappointed. Watts is one of the best artists of his generation. (He's 60 -- who knew?) I studied piano on my own in my 20s, so I'm always in awe of these performers.
In addition to it being great music (in the words of Andre' Previn, "it is music that's incomparably better than any single performance of it can be"), there's an element of spectacle to the performances. Just watching the interplay between the conductor and the orchestra is fascinating. I prefer a seat in the balcony, not in the orchestra section. From the Grand Tier or the Terrace, you can see the conductor singling out members of the sections for solos, you can see them giving changes in the tempo, or just marshalling the combined talents of 80 to 100 (even 120) players. And it has the immediacy of live theater.
There -- that's something worth saying.
I went to the BSO this year and saw them perform a live soundtrack for a Charlie Chaplain film, "City Lights." It was wonderful. They are a great group with a cool conductor.
Maybe I'll look into a group rate for tickets for Suburban Singles Sceners.
