Greetings!

I have been a member of this site off and on for many years.  I have met some wonderful people on this site, and I hope that I can meet a few more.  I find it very exciting and rewarding to meet someone new and gradually build a friendship.  It makes me feel like an explorer discovering a new place.^^

As for the photo of the magpie.  I really like magpies.  In Canada, magpies are considered a nuisance bird and most people dislike them.  I see their many good points, such as their intelligence, bravery, diligence, persistence and lust for life.  These are all traits we value in humans, so why don't we appreciate them in magpies?

As I highly value honesty, so I hope to meet other people who think the same way.  Humans have never been perfect and never will be perfect, so don't worry about not being perfect.  Just be honest and true to yourself and others.

Fitness, reading, films.

It would be really great if someone could introduce me to a new hobby.  I am very open to that.

I listen to and enjoy all kinds of music.

East of Eden

Tokyo Story

I really like old movies from the 1920s to the 1970s.

Too many!
