Syncopate

Syncopate is a 44 year old guy from Mid West, Illinois, USA
Can't reveal too much about myself now that we have identity theft, stalking, and, worst of all, spam mail. But I can tell you that I am very interested in philosophy, music, and science. As you can see, I'm here for EVERYTHING, dammit! I want it all. Yet, I gravitate toward Eastern philosophy and having everything is not necessarily a good thing...hmm...sounds like the beginnings of a Zen koan or perhaps it's a take off on the yin and yang of Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching." Anyway, TURN-ONs: humor, philosophy, travel, women with lovely rear ends (look, I'm sorry, but I AM a GUY), Spike Lee movies, Woody Allen Movies (well, not lately)...TURN OFFS: men who are blatant in their discussion of women's rear ends, beer (never developed a taste for it), absolute certainty (I think), toe jam, dirty bathrooms...Okay, enough..

****...Wonderful. I smiled during the preceding interview and especially during this musical number. Alicia Keys is charming as always. Stephen Colbert takes things to a different...umm...place with his unexpected appearance. -

***...Sobering and thoughtful. It's easy to forget that most of us will be old one day. (The comments are just as fascinating as the article/video).
~From the page: MAMARONECK, N.Y. -- For 10 days in June, Kristen Murphy chose to live somewhere she and many others fear: a nursing home.
Ms. Murphy, who is in perfect health, had to learn the best way to navigate a wheelchair around her small room, endure the humiliation that comes with being helped in the bathroom, try to sleep through night checks and become attuned to the emotions of her fellow residents.
And Ms. Murphy, 38, had to explain to friends, family and fellow patients why she was there. -

***...This was a terrific episode. I especially liked Jon's comment on Ms. Clinton's reaction to being asked what her husband thought. As he analyzes her body language, he says "Watch the sit-back". The "sit-back"...I love it.
