About Me:
Still learning and working on myself, and find that my
only way of learning about myself in through my relations
with others. Taking graduate classes while working full time leaves little play time but I couldn't be happier.
I used to be a musician and there is now a website about the old band, The Student Teachers, its at www.thestudentteachers.com, I am very happy it is there. The past never goes away, it just goes on the net

Who I Want to Meet:
I like meeting smart people with diverse and obsessive
cultural interests and evolved political sensitivities. I
like meeting people
who have explored areas that I have not and want to share
their passion with me - be that Japanese Noise music,
Iranian Cinema or Bruckner's symphonies. I am like a
symbiotic vampire, renewing my passion sets by leaching the
passions of others, and letting them learn from me
reciprocally . This to me a recipe for many promised years
of future joys.

Testimonials and Comments for Bill
don't understand how such a great big heart can
fit in that body. his heart is just too big! uhm, well
that's what i've heard.
least if you're as short as me. He's a
towering man - but as sweet as a teddy
bear. The rumor on the street is that he had
subscriptions to all of the art magazines
before he could walk. You'd think that would
make someone one-dimensional, but come
to think of it, we've talked about a dozen
times and I don't think art has come up once.
But his work says it all - I think I learned
more from his Anxiety, Influence & Gratitude
show than I did in several years of art
school. If there were one reason to move to
Boston, it would be Bill Arning.
Has always been there for me no matter
how crazy it has been. Our paths converge
numerous times in our lives with regard to
growth and lives experiences. Amazing
friend and associate. Genius and loving. Our
big sensitive bear doesn't name drop, he
really is telling you about his day and I have
never even noticed since I usually know all
the people he is talking about. It's just
another way of sharing the knowledge.
Oh, did I happen to mention that he takes
great direction when a girl wants a manicure
buddy?
Many kisses and hugs to Bill!
