To work or Not to work

I, personally choose not to work. I would volunteer here and there just to get out of my house, dress something else than my pajamas and communicate face-to-face with other humans. But since I inherited nothing from my parents (except hot blood), since I didn't marry rich (nothing wrong with being a gold digger!) and since I can't afford the life I want without working, I have to work :(
To go to work, I have two options, to be the passenger of my husband or to take the train.
Behind the wheel, my husband is the prototype of "Mom, why all the idiots are in the streets when dad is driving?". I grab the "Holy shit" handle above the exit door every time I feel my life is in danger. Now you know what my last words will be! Other than that, it is convenient because he doesn't pay for parking, that expensive, washed in gold piece of land used every day to park your car while you work to make money to pay for it.
If it is not raining, no wind chill to slap your face, if the train is on time and has 2 extra wagons, I like train. Watching the behaviors of the same people every-day, you can do a human study there without paying them to be your guinea-pigs. You can catch up on reading, read the gosspis from the free daily magazine covered in led, play a Sudoku, can listen downloaded song or watch downloaded movies. Then is the walk from train to work. You can find out what some of your train companions do for living. She gets to a lawyer's office but I think she must be just the assistance. He gets to a nice hotel and I'm not sure what he can do there, shady!
And then you go to work! There, you have to deal with your colleagues! To be continued....

Distance

Don't ask me why but I like this picture very much!

An old friend of mine is leaving the city for good, following his dream. Of course I wish him the best, but I know I will miss him next time we all get together here. I will miss the fact that sometimes I had the option to have lunch with him and it's like going back in time. Yet another friend by e-mail.
What keeps us friends? History... a complex of things done, words said, alcohol drunk, laughs and tears! It seems like I have more friends by e-mail than friends I can touch. I'm making friends people that have eyes with different shape than mine, skin with different shade than mine, interests different than mine. I have changed a lot since I moved in this city. I don't know if I like who I was or who I am, but I can say for sure, I have and I will love my friends wherever they are! I need them in my life, closer or in distance, as long as I can find a way to communicate. It's that history that can glue us together without too much words. And of course e-mail helps A LOT!
... C'est la vie!

Lately

This song that I hear in every radio channel I stop, called "Love You Lately" by Daniel Powter says:

'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.


What does "lately" mean? How long is "lately"? Like everything in our life, the concept of love is changing in Media as well. Till now we are raised up listening ".. and they fell in love and lived happily ever after!". But now we have "I love you lately". Personally, I always thought that you can't be in love all the time but there are some couples I know that sometimes make me think I'm kind of Grinchy about love. Hearing this song I feel much better and down to earth than before.
Being in love is the best time a couple has. After that, other things come in first in the list of priorities, and we are not in love anymore like we used to. But it is in human nature to seek love, so we might find other people with whom we will be in love "lately" for a while.
But for how long can love last? What makes us fall out of love? If the other person is normal, no kind of abuse happend, can we still be in love? I guess it is not enought. To make someone be in love with you over and over, you will have to behave just like when you made that person fall in love first time. You should make sure that what you do and say are not done and told by someone else, and that better be a good thing! First of all, you should make sure that you want to be in love with that person. Otherwise, "lately" will be short!

'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.

Score it like Beckham

What a sweet deal!!
$1 million a week for 5 years....!!!!!!
It's Adidas that is paying for this but would be good if they add some more in the salary of the other team members. He is, by far, the rich kid in the team, and maybe not very well- welcomed!
I guess Brad and Angelina are happy now that Maddox can have his private football lessons without an air trip fare.

The third

I'm not talking about the new Shrek, that by the way, I can't wait to come out in theaters.


I'm talking about the possibility of the Third World War.

The crazy Iran's leader wants to erase Israel from the map alla Hiroshima. Israel is ready to bomb Iran and stop this madness. Who is right?
Winston Churchill once said that the Second World War was not necessary if the International troupes had stopped that crazy man called Hitler before he started. International troupes are always late on deciding what to do (remember Bosnia?). Should Israel wait for them or go ahead and take the risk to be hated (more than it is already) from other countries in the region? All this because a crazy man has nuclear power in his hands!!
GOD Save Our Wick Souls!!

.. and some italians too

Translation is mine :)

Come vorrei Ricchi e Poveri Ci sono giorni in cui non dormo e penso a te sto chiuso in casa col silenzio per amico mentre la neve dietro ai vetri scende giù e aspetto qui vicino al fuoco in quest'inverno c'è qualcosa che non va non è natale da una volta nella vita eppure è stato solamente un anno fa speriamo che non sia finita come vorrei come vorrei amore mio come vorrei che tu mi amassi a modo mio che questa sera troppo triste troppo uguale non fosse più senza di te come vorrei come vorrei amore mio come vorrei che questo amore che va via non si sciogliesse come fa la neve al sole senza parole dovrei capirti quando vedo che vai via e non amarti quando non vuoi farti amare senza cadere in una nuova gelosia che solo tu mi fai provare come vorrei come vorrei amore mio come vorrei che tu mi amassi a modo mio che questa sera troppo triste troppo uguale non fosse più senza di te come vorrei come vorrei amore mio come vorrei che questo amore che va via non si sciogliesse come fa la neve al sole senza parole e questa volta un'altra donna non verrà a cancellare la tua impronta sul cuscino anche alla luna glie l'ho chiesto e non ci sta non vuole più starmi vicino

How would I want Ricchi e Poveri There are days I do not sleep and think of you Stay at home with silence as a friend And while the snow behind the windows is falling down I wait here close to the fire There is something wrong with this winter For once in lifetime it's not Christmas But it was here not longer than a year ago Let's hope it is not gone for good How would I want How would I want my love How would I want you loved me the same way I do That this evening so sad and so like the others it wasn't anymore without you How would I want How would I want my love How would I want that this love that is going away it didn't melt like the snow under sun without any word I must understand when I see you going And not love you when you do not want to be loved Without falling into a new jealousy that only you can make me feel How would I want How would I want my love How would I want you loved me the same way I do That this evening so sad and so like the others it wasn't anymore without you How would I want How would I want my love How would I want that this love that is going away it didn't melt like the snow under sun without any word And this time there won't be another woman to erase your print in the pillow I have even asked the moon and it didn't work Even she doesn't want to stay me close anymore

French songs

Lately I have been listening a lot french songs so I can pick up my lost french!!
I am obssesed with this one in particular, great inspirational song, can hear it all day and never get bored.

Hide or Double

Fact: 1 million (and change) Japanese people live for years completely isolated in their rooms. Read the book
Fact: 2 million (and change) people have been registered in Second Life


So what is happening? Some do not want to be in this world at all and some need another life as this one is not enough. I don't know which group surprises me the most, but they are both very interesting!
The hidden ones are people that for some reasons do not want to face the world and they choose to stay in their rooms while parents bring them food so they can live. Some are there because they have been bullied at school, some are because the everyday life is very stressful for them. Some are able to do things like draw or write, but some are completely dependent on their parents, so much that if parents die, they will probably die from starvation as well. This is very big problem in Japan but they are trying to keep it hush-hush, ignore it and not do much to fix it.


The double ones are people that have a profile in the Second life and spend there a good part of their real life. There are different reason to have a Second Life profile, or properly called Avatar. Some want to be Anonymous and dare to live a different life from the one they live every day. It can be that they want to look different, behave differently, do other jobs, buy things that can't buy, have sex like they can't have, play games that they can't play. There are others that are not worried about the identity and are there for experimental reasons. They want to see how their ideas can work without investing money (or maybe just a little), they want to become millionaires (the first one made it by selling real state, like a virtual Donald Trump!), they want to open stores or expand business (there are some big companies that have their virtual offices there and can help you with their services).

Which life do you want?

Do we think bright things?

I see so many people writing and trying to say something smart, un-heard, brilliant.... based on your mood, you might think that what they write it is actually smart, un-heard, brilliant... or just fresh crap, garbage! This is my garbage bag and when I write here it means that I need to get my garbage out and clean my system. Just like in a garbage day when some guys with bandanas like pirates come and pick up what you think has to go out of your house.
