I just love aurora borealis, they're the most beautiful things I ever saw (I saw those a couple of time, they sometime were better than what's on my avatar). They're out when it's dark and cold, it feel so nice to have them when you're out at night. I don't know, I just love them. And since I live in Québec (I'm very proud of that, you know it ), I just though it would represent me well.
Vive le Québec libre!...

Tux on, tux on, tux on, tux on, tux on

He has eyes down at the bingo on that lucky Friday night
The match was rained off Saturday but the panel came in bright
And on Sunday your mates were toasting you with champagne down the pub
And on Monday you went to London
To pick the cheque up with your mum

As my fave jazz artist is  John Coltrane and Trane is his nickname and based on my family name: Chantraine , I thought of chanting the Trane's praises:

which would make Chant Trane

but I decided that if one day my newly discovered taste for writing should ever amount to something (one can always dream, but you never know!) , then Shawn Trane and finally Sean Trane would be fitting!!

As you would pronounce that nickname , it is the best way to pronounce my family name for non-francophones around the world is Sean Trane!

 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Bilek is my name... simple as that! If you wonder why I chose it, you'll have to ask my mother, because she named me

actually I first wanted to adopt black, which close to the original pronunciation of my name in English, but I did something wrong, or someone else already assumed it!!! Strangely, I never saw anyone named black in the forum!

I still continue to use that alias in my reviews, though I submitted no more than 30 so far, and because of business I'm not likely to increase this number nowadays...

meaning of my name is similar to Andrea's (the male one): actually it comes to mean "wrist" literally, but my parents had the idea of its figurative meaning when naming me, which is "strength". I can't say I fit my name, though
Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)
