Name: Mr. Fox

Age: 30-something

I mostly post about:
Stories from my life — my thoughts and feelings, especially during this time of war in Ukraine. I try to capture emotions honestly: memories of a peaceful past, reflections on the present, and tales from my life as a mariner and traveler.
This journal is still in its early days, after a long break from writing. Each entry is posted in both English and the original language. I also share my own photographs — from different times, chosen to reflect my current mood.

My hobbies are:
Photography (almost professional), lomography (daily photos of interesting moments), music (acoustic, alternative, instrumental covers), psychology, and classical literature. I love discovering new things — ideas, places, people.

My fandoms are:

Honestly, I’m not active in any specific fandom. But I enjoy reading and learning, especially to improve my English.

I'm looking to meet people who:
…feel connected to what I write — kindred spirits or simply those who find meaning in my words. I’m open to everyone (with one exception: I don’t welcome those who support or excuse the war). My posts are open and honest. I’d love to find new interesting people to read and connect with.

My posting schedule tends to be:
Currently daily, or a few times a week — depending on my free time.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:
No major dealbreakers — most of what matters is already said above.

Before adding me, you should know:

I’m an open person without any particular agenda. I’m Ukrainian — and perhaps that matters now, just to avoid misunderstandings.
Welcome aboard. These are my messages in a bottle.

I'd love to add you, but first, let me introduce myself!

I'm American and have been journaling on LiveJournal since 2001 (and a mirror journal on Dreamwidth since 2009). I think we have some common interests, especially in photography. I often post photos from my Flickr account (I'm sweetmeow there, too). I'm nowhere near professional, though.

I'm disgusted with what has happened to Ukraine at the hands of Russia. I've seen so many photos of your lovely country and read about the strength, resolve, and creativity of your citizens. And look what Russia has done?! Right now, I'm also disgusted with how our country is responding. I know your journal isn't about politics, but this is about the survival of democracy!!!

Another thing you need to know is that I'm an older person -- age 75, to be exact. So my daily life concerns won't be exactly like yours. But I enjoy reading those who in different stages of life from me, and I enjoy many younger DW friends.

In short: my husband and I are retired and are "snowbirds" and live South Carolina in the winter and Long Island, New York, in the summer. I'm a photographer and musician (flutist), and I sing in the church choir (but I am not overly religious and don't try to change minds). My entries are friends only, but you can also take a look at my profile page.

Let's be friends!

I only occasionally post about politics, so rest assured, I will only rarely go there in my journal, if at all. And - it's not about your nationality, but my desire to get to know you, experience your photography, and other interests. I already marvel at your command of English! But I wanted to let you know about my stance before we started.

I pray you're right about the autumn....

And I have a married son who is older than you -- age 46 -- and one 9-year-old granddaughter. Check out my profile page for any more info about me.

"Messages in a Bottle" reminds me of this old song, Jim Croce, "Time in a Bottle," found on youtube:
