and now it's up to 5...

this time eulinx got me into some more confessions to make...5 weird habits...very easy task then...;-P

1 when in a room, i count if the objects around me are even or odd

2 after a shower/bath, i always dry myself in the same sequence

3 when i set the table, i make sure the decoration on the plates and the cutlery are straight

4 in front of a mirror/reflecting surface, i always smile to myself (i'm not vain, just beautiful ;-P)

5 i would never, ever, under any circumstances, eat the bottom of a banana

and now it's up to you lucky 5... jj, v*, kk, fracci, ariacielo

mind you

if

if i could have anything, it would be long hair
long hair on my face, in my eyes
long hair to pass my hands into, compulsively
feel the good job of the conditioner
when i pull them behind my ears
just like em

bloody italian curls

muse

i admit i find women's beauty in strange places

in a backspin backhand, played by a lefthanded tennisplayer
in a bass or a piano string softly stroked by skinny fingers
in a little old song whispered while cooking (or under the shower...)
in a stolen look, from down up
with, definitively, black eyeliner
in early mornings, mispelled post-it love messages

or, absolutely, in any woman dancing

abc narcolepsy

(english) words i like, in no particular order...

yourself

idiosyncratic

mop

wood (i can't pronounce it properly)

dir(rr)ty

soft&loft

twitch

amnesia

you

doll

i will hide my vice
like a matrioshka doll

i will hide myself

so deep inside

do i alone see

the bulletproof ghost
from the box in the attic

conspire with my guardian angel?

and i wonder

is he taking a photo of me too?
;-P

grrr...

if you put a frog in a pot and slowly heat the water up, you will be able to boil the little green creature without the frog realising it. it is supposed to work because frogs are cold-blooded, which means their body maintains the same temperature as their surroundings.

it' s a urban myth, but as all of them it contains a fair bit of truth about human condition.

too often people don't sense the water heating up around them and their only protection is to raise their own body temperature: habits become conforts, little insignificant gestures safety. they think the pot is the best of the possible worlds.

too often fate is accepted instead of being created.

so I'm grateful with whatever made me for accessorising me with a little angry man that lives inside me and comes out every now and then to save me.

life through a lens

...how annoying when you take your contact lenses off and all you can see is this...

today's post...

;-P

nothing

gorgia is one of my favourite philosophers.

as a sophist, he demonstrates that

a) nothing exist

b) even if something existed it would be not comprehended by humans

c) even if we could comprehend it, we wouldn't be able to communicate it

that nothing exist is easily explained. if something existed, it would be either the being or the non-being. excluding the non-being, simply because it is not, the being can be either infinite or created. but if it's infinite the being is not in a precise location, so it doesn't exist; if it's created, it must be created by the non-being, which is impossible

thus nothing exists

anais

dazzled by the dark
in an alien suckling
with allegoric wings
i have defeated vaccinated bacteria

i'm the poet on the hill
and I look at the battle
you are close to me
it's evening
and you spread yourself of twilight

doubtful morning

are you completely honest when you scribble on your pc?

you're not just the sum of your tags

or are you?

i've spent the w/e in the ocean

waves just coming and coming

friends coming and going

green&blue the colours

or black, like the midnight skinny dip

rock'n'roll

oh me

tears of lost rain
wash my tattooed shadow
astride tidal winds
softening the air

fixed coincidences

immediately postpone

written thoughts

and i see the scars in the sky

frame me

i'll be your sincere mirror

your poisonous supernova

in the fashionable chaos

nail me to the cross

to be my god

my dreamy insomnia

in my gypsy immobilities

* 4ever *

maybe I don't really want to know
how your garden grows
I just want to fly
Lately
did you ever feel the pain
in the morning rain
as it soaks it to the bone

maybe I just want to fly
want to live don't want to die
maybe I just want to breath
maybe I just don't believe
maybe you're the same as me
we see things they'll never see
you and I are gonna live forever

maybe I will never be
all the things that I want to be
but now is not the time to cry
now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
we see things they'll never see
you and I are gonna live forever

lounge act

truth - covered in security

I can't let you smother me

I'd like to, but it couldn't work

trading off and taking turns

I don't regret a thing

and I've got this friend, you see

who makes me feel

and I wanted more

than I could steal

I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield

I'll go out of my way to prove I still

smell her on you

don't - tell me what I wanna hear

afraid of never knowing fear

experience anything you need

I'll keep fighting jealousy

until it's fucking gone

I'll go out of my way to make you a deal

we've made a pact to learn from who

ever we want without new rules

we'll share what's lost and what we grew

they'll go out of their way

to prove they still

smell her on you

p.i.g

the meat coming from the left leg of the pig is the best

apparently pigs scratch themselves with their right leg

which makes the muscle bigger and the meat thougher

it is undisclosed if pigs could be lefthanded

oink

dear front desk...

...back home I was used to see long lines of people queue for a visitor’s permit to be allowed to stay in my region…now I’m on the other side…now I’m in front of you…now, I queue for a visitor’s permit, for residence…unlike them I don’t have a family to support, I don’t really need a job to survive, I have house family friends, I’m not running from my home country and I haven’t suffered anything horrible…but, just standing in front of you, I realized how you treat us…I realize how the way you look at me and talk me down cuts through the skin, deep…I realize that an accent makes me stupid, dirty, poor…but despite all of you laughing at me, playing with my future, snorting at my requests, I know I always get what I want…always…so while I’m waiting for the application to go through, I play at the beach swim surf play tennis blog drink laugh play my guitar write...and when it will get accepted, I'll keep on doing that, but happier, while you’re going to be the same sad person behind a desk…

100th

she should have stayed away from friends

she should have had more time to spend

she should have died when she was born

she should have worn the crown of thorns

she should have been a son

she should stood out in the crowd

she should have made her mother proud

she should have fallen on her stance

she should have had another chance

hold.on

20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away fron the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
