About Me

  • About Me: I am on a quest to understand life and elucidate mankind about my findings. I exist on a special plane somewhere between art and aging, reticent to give up my youth, and regretful that I haven't responded to those muses that have attempted to inspire me. I have constructed an online "world" with my website, and since Memorial Day of 2004 this has been another buiding block to my "electronic experiment in art." My "world" encompasses "art", "poetry", "movies", "photography", and the sheer joy of living.

More About Me

  • Nicknames: baldmike, Mike
  • Nationality: Hungarian and German
  • Religion: The Universal Mind
  • Interests: WRITING: I have been writing since the age of 14. I wrote my first novel during my freshman year in high school. I was editor of my high school newspaper and studied journalism in the 70s. Since 2000, I have been slowly but surely transcribing all of my 650+ poems to my ElectricPoetry website. I frequently write "essays", "articles", and "reminiscences" about my early life. These I am collecting on my main website AllThingsMike. MOVIES & MUSIC: I've been in love with movies all my life, and minored in film history at USC from 71-74. I have over 1000 films on video. PHOTOGRAPHY: Although I have loved photography since youth, I only recently answered the calling of my muse in early 2004 with the purchase of a Sony digital video/still camera. I now have 3000 photos stored in my Webshots Gallery. Links to my websites can be found in the AllThingsMike Universe column below this one.
  • Expertise: Poet, philosopher, fool. I exist and I am as expert as anyone in the art of existence.

Memories (1)

  • baldmike2004
    I remember very well when they instituted the new "profile" page at Xanga. All of a sudden people were asking me to be their "friend". Even though I had to delete the code in my profile in order to be able to "play along", I did so, and have been "collecting" friends from the Xanga blogosphere. This

    Lol - but Tim was actually sexy as Furter, somehow. "Let's do the Time Warp again."

    Good to have you as a "friend" now :-) You're the only clown on my friends list. It's mildly terrifying, but it's fun, too.

    Welcome to my little circle of friends Mike. :) Unfortunately I've been insanely busy and haven't been posting or visiting my fellow xangans much. I'm still alive and well though - just exhausted and overworked, ah the life! How are you doing?

    Hey there Mike, I just now saw your post in my chatboard. I guess it's going to take a while to get used to all this new-fangled MySpace-ish stuff, but I guess it has potential. Kind of a delayed action messenger haha! especially delayed if you don't look at it like me. But I'll get with the program

    Mike, thank you for the suggestion that I write about South-Africa. I will be writing more on South Africa in the coming months. I hope it will be as interesting as my other writings. Cool hat you have on!!
