Welcome to my blog! And why the & Falconry?
Welcome to my blog!
Hello everyone!
As you know I have gone by the Riding Falkor handle for a while now on myspace, which I chose due to my fascination with the theme song from The Neverending Story. Have you listened to the theme song recently? It's fantastic. I was able to download it from Limewire a while ago, it's by Limahl.

But seriously, check out that dude's hair. Seriously.
I also have the end credit music, which plays at the end of the film, when Bastian finally gets to ride on Falkor's back. That one is called "Bastian's Happy Flight," and seriously, it's uplifting.

The reason I resonate with this moment of the film is because of the sense of freedom and joy that I derived from watching it as a child. OK, so I am a super dork, but this moment has to get you. Anyway, I took it as my handle because, hey, who wouldn't want to be riding Falkor?
And what's with the & Falconry?
Well, the word Falkor (I've been misspelling this for several years now, but it's actually spelled with a "k," and not a "c" as I had thought) and the word falcon-- are not dissimilar. And frankly, falcons are my favorite animal. When I was little I dreamt of being a falconer after watching the incredible Ladyhawke with charming and goofy Matthew Broderick and the then ethereal hawk/woman played by the luminescent Michelle Pfeiffer. Wow. She and the wolf/man, played by the sexy and stoic Rutger Hauer, had serious chemistry. Talk about delayed gratification! Hot!
I also wanted to take fencing (which I never did), shoot bows and arrows (which I did), and was generally obsessed with all things medieval.
So, I had to dedicate this page not only to Falkor, but also to falcons and the art of falconry.
The name of the blog doesn't reflect its content, however, as I intend to brooch subjects as broad as creativity, consciousness, psychology, the entertainment industry, my family, general issues related to relationships as I have recently become a "relationship expert"-- and of course, riding dragons (especially if they are called Falkor) and falconry.
Can't wait to see you here again soon!
