friday night on a sleeve...

I am 28 years old and am just the why I am...

I escape hypocrisy and pop culture, I love LPs and indie radio stations, real Merlot and contemporary British writers...

We know that it cannot keep him safe, but at least these few bites will hopefully have some effects on rotting Italy...

Roberto Saviano is under death threats for denouncing the criminal deeds of the Camorra in his book Gomorra, translated and read all over the world. His freedom is under threat as well as his autonomy as a writer, his chances to meet his family, to enjoy a social life, to take part in public life, to travel in his own country.

A young writer, guilty of having investigated organized crime, revealing its methods and its structure, is forced to live a hidden, underground life, while the Camorra bosses send him death threats from prison ordering him to stop writing for his newspaper, La Repubblica, and to keep silent.

The State must make every effort to protect Saviano and to defeat the Camorra. But this is not a mere police case. It's a problem of democracy. Saviano's freedom and safety concerns everyone of us as citizens.

Signing this appeal we intend to take charge of it, as a personal commitment, urging the State at the same time to assume its responsibilities because it's intolerable that something like this can happen in Europe in 2008.

Small accomplishments and never ending everyday life loops...

I listen to "The Gun Club" but I am not sure I shall do it again any soon...
I learnt how to switch on the dinamo on my bike with a foot, while I cycle not handling the bar...uh?...take that...!
I stopped smoking four weeks ago....baaaam!
I work at the restaurant: so boring....
I work in an office, where I fill Excel files in and write mails.....boring...
My holydays are not paid, my bed is double and I always sleep alone, my guitar does not weep at all, my back hurts, my neighbours are badly sick ...
...but I keep on listening music...

TV On The Radio - Dear Science (Amazingly modern)
Lambchop - Oh
Blonde Redhead - 23 (Again, mostly because of the song "SW")
Calexico - Carried to Dust
Bob Dylan - Tell Tale Signs (Bootleg n.8)
Kings of Leon - Only By The Night

Ms Bromberg and nightlife in Kreuzberg on wednesday

Tonight I wanted really badly and managed to meet the only girl who drove me really crazy for a while this last year...I wanted to meet her mostly because I thought it would have been better to talk to her first and not to meet her by chance...but I also wanted to see her, just that...in the end I had a lot of red wine, no food, went to a birthday party and realized it is so much about timing, my dears...and I am not talking about mortgage or the financial investments...timing with biological needs, life achievements, drinking levels, acquaintance with compromise and need of company...

I am lonely, I live with Marthe, I wake up when I have to work...and I love to buy presents for people I love...

I am so lonely somehow...in a irreparable way....

September came to an end...

I realized that I started to forget faces, names and the way people smile...I listen to "Blonde on Blonde" and once more I realize that some music albums are just perfect...this one is one of those...every track is special and unforgettable, every time for some different reason...1966...ages ago...

I go to Czech Republic for the second time this year...once more as a tourist...once more with a feeling of unaccomplished life behind and toward...university is not going the way I would like to see myself in...

It has been raining the whole day and all I managed is having helped a friend with some burocratic stuff...

I am not lazy, I think I am just unfit to keep on doing what I am now...

Berlin beim Untergang

I have been working almost 12 hours but nevertheless I did not "produce" anything special today...the nice thing is that I spent the dinner with some students from Eastern Europe, that is something I always like so much...


Around 7.40 p.m. I was on top of the Reichstag ...the view is amazing, the city I live in is very charming by night...and I felt so lonely somehow...the students I was bringing around were taking pictures, having fun and were so excited to be there...I was so moved by the atmosphere over there...on top of the dom...and I realized how lonely you can feel even if beauty surrounds you all over the place, sometimes even more becuase of that...should I have called somebody? I did not find anybody I really felt like sharing this feeling with...maybe because of the feeling, maybe because of my adress book...

I am finally home, I needed a drink so badly and I am having it listening some old stuff by Micah P. Hinson...tomorrow is going to be the same as today...but at least I am not going on top of the Reichstag by doom...

Cheers
