Ganymedes Rocks

Dear Visitors, Inspirers and Followers,
As one cannot remain a Ganymede’s forever; since in life you better rise an eagle than fall as its prey; I better not hide my identity any longer.
My name is Jean Louis, I have been a research chemist for many years, which granted me a U.S. Personal residency for being a scientist with outstanding abilities. Art and Beauty are essential ingredients to my life; earlier as a collector’s hobby, but now also as an art buying advisor or liaison for decorators and the art trade, where I count numerous friends… a reason more to finding myself, hopping continents.
An Aesthete, I was born in Belgium, of European continental and non-continental descent. This has made me passionate and spirited. A Monarchist; therefore somehow a Conservative, I am unabashedly a supporter of Human Rights, and a believer in Unconditional Love.
I love American professionalism but, culturally, my anglophile edge is more “open-ended“, meaning that I love almost each and every country that finding an Anglo-Saxon style to its origins, has known how to “vernacularize” it personably. When not in America, I live in Aquitaine, primarily because of my love for my Mother, but also for the beauty by which the regionals understand leading a French lifestyle with a distinctive compatibility with British “flair”; its architecture, its landscape, its art and, of course, epicurean traditions.
I may appear in love with the past, through culture, music and traditions. However, that said, I am extremely open to innovation, for as much as it is aptly distributed toward enhancing a non-depletive utilisation of the World’s resources we only, temporarily, are lessors of.
I “militate” against poor taste [not an easy task in my new job], even if I do agree that tastes and colours are never to be debated ever. Unlike even spirituality, geo-politics and sexuality, they can never ever set a fungible common ground… and if venturing otherwise proves me wrong, than, it becomes likely that I found my “Soul Mate”.
My favourite music is classical; my favourite book is simply the one written for its content, not for how it will be received by the public; after all, are books to be about trend?- or – should they be about culture; for trends there is fashion. Culture, by its inner-sustainability, should be more trans-generational than that.
I dislike technology, when its enslaving; thus I find myself punctually irritated, by cell-phones, games consoles, electronic books and most things that are a product of this century, which so far has suppressed more than it has delivered, outside of technology and gadgetry of course. Social skills, good writing and particularly orthography, being among what has been the most depleted during the last decade. It is because social media is not about communicating when you feel the need to walk your favourite pet, that, besides being a Googler and a 'Wikipediant', I tend to prefer Tumblr and Pinterest; although not opposed to punctually tweet.
Being multilingual, naming a favourite author, book, play or movie would be too arduous to avoid segregation of any kind. Too many styles and genres I do not wish to unfairly select… or omit.
But, at the opposite of what you may think, all these do's and don'ts do not make me a pretentious chap.
I am not so complicated to get along with.
Try Me!
Lovingly!
