Oh my God

Such a pity

Apart form reducing conversation to a series of click, and inducing people to be lazy surfers and to communicate with a shorter version of their shrinking communicative abilities, Facebook killed the habit of many of writing blogs...I just relaized that the few ones I still have hyperlinked on my blog do not exist anymmore since at least one year...

If you are not looking for a flat or a room in city other than yours, and if you do not want to play the mafia game or sell a toaster, well start typing sentences again, you know...those periods with subjects, verbs, descriptions and the subtle wish that the reader has some few minutes of patience to get through your thoughts for the good of feeling closer to somebody else...

Pissed in the metro in the morning

Reading the monday version of the International Herald Tribune this morning, I bumped into an article written where it was easily explained how it is completely impossible not to send troops to Afghanistan if you want to be a good ally of the US.
Not just to save the Afghani people but to keep ourselves safe and secure...
I cannt stand this rethoric anymore....someday somebody will need to explain us why all these military did not emprove the situation in the last 9 years....which are almost 120 months....
Have done with being so rhetoric, US media, and think that some people may see the Afghan war in a different way.

Diglielo tu che torneró

Nilla Pizzi
Video Clip ante litteram

Vola, colomba bianca, vola,
diglielo tu che tornerá.

Dio del ciel se fossi una colomba
vorrei volar laggiù dov'è il mio amor,
che inginocchiata a San Giusto
prega con l'animo mesto:
Fá che il mio amore torni, ma torni presto.

Vola, colomba bianca, vola,
diglielo tu che tornerò.
Dille che non sarà più sola
e che mai più la lascerò.

Fummo felici uniti e ci han divisi,
ci sorrideva il sole, il cielo e il mar.
Noi lasciavamo il cantiere
lieti del nostro lavoro
e il campanon din don ci faceva il coro.

Vola, colomba bianca, vola,
diglielo tu che tornerò.
Dille che non sarà più sola
e che mai più la lascerò.

Tutte le sere m'addormento triste
e nei miei sogni piango e invoco te.
Pure el mi vecio te sogna
pensa alle pene sofferte
piange e nasconde il viso tra le coperte.

Vola, colomba bianca, vola.
Dio del ciel diglielo tu

Rom rom rom rom....rom is definitely a woman, is definitely out of time, like the bunch of public clocks reminding you all the time when you walk around: you cannot found two of them telling you it is the same time...even if slightly different, the time they point is another....and in the end whether the time is slightly different or very different it is the same, so it is wrong to ask yourself too much....

Christmas reading

A first list which I chose thanks to google news and thanks to the fact i did not read any of those books.
A second list, which I read myself in the last Economist issue.
There is also a third one, which gives a kind of too long list.
Or just listen to this for a second

For Blair, against Balkenende

The numbering of articles of the EU Treaties changed three times in less than twenty years...as far as I recall it is easier to say those articles whose number did not change than the other way round...I asked myself on what exactly were the french and the dutch asked to vote for...and what about with the Irish, twice....what are we supposed nowadays to stand for...? For a process started with good intensions but become a huge pachydermic animal, able to decide what is a third of the national parliaments of the 27 members state of the union, but unable to give a highly profiled political post to someody able to create some hype...

European Union is often referred as an unstoppable process, though slow and full of drawbacks, but for the good....being not stoppable looks nowadays the only thing many fans of the EU could be proud of...

There is the way you walk through this life, with its duties and its chances, and the way you think about yourself in that process....the best ones are those for whom the difference is not too big...in my case the gap is so big that it screams aloud every time I am back home...
I should believe I could give myself another chance...a defeat is most of the time better than a tied up...
Yours

I do think less of people voting for Mr. Berlusconi
I do think less of guys stinking at 8.30 on Monday morning
I do think less of women wearing fur
I do think less of people thinking less of not vegetarian people
I do think less of punks begging for money with Nike shoes on
I do think less of people talking about what they posted on Facebook
Though no Ribbentropp-Molotov Pact, as the Polish Foreign Minister says, this new North Stream is not the best solution ever, to let the Central European feel they are as worth as the Werstern...
Where is the EU Energy Policy gone then?

The Gentle Side of me and you

There is all that music and those comics we never talked about
There is all those moments we did not share
There is your idea of me and my idea of you
which run away from each other
every hour
a tiny step further
while I feel like there is no word,
nor gesture
no sentence
nor gaze
to heal this misunderstanding between us
