All you can't Leave behind

Should I pick up the phone???

2009-01-14T15:27:00.002+01:00

I tried to rally talk to this friend for a long time. Trying to tell her/him what I felt, how my life was, sharing my thought and feelings. She/he had always a good excuse for not listening... tired, working, going shopping, pissed off, in bad mood, had time but only talking for hours about how she/he felt...

Months went by and I gradually got distant... not at all resentful or angry... just my life went on and since I didn't manage to tell her/ him, I simply feel I have nothing to share anymore

Now she/ he's been ringing almost every day.

I really don't know why. And honestly do not care, it's like if someone on the tube when I'm listening to my favourite music on my Ipod wants to chat with me to pass the trip time. I simply do not care.

Should I pick up the phone for courtesy and fake it I care?

Or just let it go?

Lazy...

2008-09-12T12:09:00.005+02:00

I've been to lazy to write anything in here, although I would really like to...

I'm writing from the office, today it's raining cats and dogs, a real summer thunderstorm.

I really feel lazier than ever... Thanksfully it's friday, and we'll leave for Barcelona in the afternoon, I'm really looking forward to a good weekend with friends and family.. and to detox.... from my old addiction..... AGE OF EMPIRES!!!!

Last night I started playing just for a few minutes..... and then I couldn't resist!! I was doing the Attila the Hun campaign.... I got really hooked I stopped at the early hours only because Ricard came to drag me to bed! And I dreamt of all the little men digging gold and building farms and cutting the woods......

Breaking the Waves

2008-05-26T21:24:00.005+02:00

Picture from Casa Batllo, maybe the most oniric work by Gaudi.

Water is theme that inspired him to realize the complex architecture and decoration of the building.

ps: breaking the waves is a wierd scottish movies we happened to se filming in the isle of Sky back in 1996 I guess...

How to save a Life

2008-04-23T15:00:00.004+02:00

I know I that my first-after a long time-post should be about something extremely serious, like how my life is developing towards reaching the ultimate Happiness (badly as usual, as you can imagine) or some extraordinary new adventure...

But I am really counting down to the next episode of Grey's Anatomy that will be aired on ABC TOMORROW!!!!

So..... my latest favourite soundtrack is obviously this one

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life.....

Loss

2007-10-24T18:21:00.000+02:00

A dear friend, the only real friend I have here at work

Died

A few weeks ago

Moto accident

His wife gave birth to their first little girls 2 days later

I was and still are shocked

I find myself composing automatically his phone number to say "hey, let's go and have a coffe"

Life sometimes is just so difficult

I've been up and down, I've been in between

2007-10-02T17:42:00.000+02:00

A line from my everloved BonJovi.. sums up quite well how I've been feeling these lasts months!!

Anyway, I've been obviously too lazy to update my blog, which is a shame really because it could be just soooo good if I could stick to some daily commitment!

So, I'll try again.....

See you soon

Bolzano

2007-04-22T22:58:00.000+02:00

Just a quick visit with Daniele and Claudio to see our common friend Ivan who was doing a Master in Bolzano.

We had plenty of Good food, Beer, Lovely "Stube", Woods, Mountains, Castles, Beer and more Beer.... And of course Linux and friends... no surprise with a bunch of IT men!

Quick update... A few pictures

2007-04-22T22:56:00.000+02:00

I haven't had much time to write, and I also felt quite uninspired.

I''l try to make up posting a few pictures.

Ah, a good (rare!!) piece of news: Ricard's sister Debora is getting married in december! We are all very happy.... a Xmas wedding!

Bored and blurred at the airport

2007-02-19T21:37:00.000+01:00

I ended up as usual waiting for 3 hours at the airport.. I was so bored that I started taking silly pictures... Here are some

weekend and Tapas in Barcelona

2007-02-11T21:41:00.000+01:00

Last weekend I was in Barcelona. Had an interview for a smashing job at La Caixa... I'm not fully satisfied with how it went, but still keep finger crossed!
We went with Debora and Sito out for some tapas in a nice place

Improvvisazione....

2006-11-14T16:59:00.000+01:00

I have a talk at Università Cattolica on Thursday and still haven't prepared anything

I have spent all day appling for job offers in Barcelona - without any clue on the job I applied for

I have signed up for a spanish language test - without having studied a single day

----- IMPROVVISATION!!! -------

Saturday's afternoon luxury

2006-11-11T16:35:00.000+01:00

A long hot shower that relaxes body and spirit

Slowing combing my hair

No rush

Ricard has just fallen asleep on the sofa while reading Asimov's novels and listening to his latest discovery.. Claudio Baglioni!

Ps. Pitcures from Deborah and Sito's visit last month

So confuuuuused, my heart bruuuuuuised

2006-11-09T16:25:00.000+01:00

Another day at work

Listening to Bridget Jones' Diary Soundtrack

Looking up to the tiny triangle of sky I can see from my window

I am about to start using some spare time to study something about Corporate Responsability

I have decided I want to write a paper for a conference in Bergamo in February... I must go back into studying, giving a swirl to my confuuuuuused brain cells.

As for my bruuuuuuised heart... can't do much about it

I've been away....

2006-07-10T10:43:00.000+02:00

.... from the blogsphere for a while... For many reasons:

I've had really no time at work
I've had really no time at home
I've got a bit bored
I was to lazy
I was to hot

I'm still all the above... but maybe because I'm planning to my canadian trip for next month I'm feeling a bit more inspired.....

Let us see!

How Do I Love Thee?

2006-05-08T14:07:00.000+02:00

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Bits...

I had quite a nice weekend .

Yesterday it was hot and sunny we went to read in the park near home and relaxed a lot.

I've been playing to a PC game I bought recently called Keepsake.

Ricard is really sweet and supportive.

Shame I cannot say the same for others...

Going into hospital tomorrow. I'm really worried and anxious I haven't slept allnight, sure tonight will be the same.

See you in a week.

how can you manage to sleep...

2006-04-30T23:44:00.000+02:00

when your heart is racing at maximum speed, your head is hummering and your nose completely blocked?

I remember when I was a kid my mum would tell me to imagine something beautiful and conforting, like a toy shop window...

It used to work... but not now :(

Saturday's cleanings

2006-04-29T12:24:00.000+02:00

I was ordering my CDs and found these pictures of a trip to Norway we made 3 years ago...

We had a great time there, we made plenty of nature: woods, falls, lakes, ice, blue skies and midnight sun... unfortunately it was agoust so too late for northen lights.

Patience...

2006-04-29T12:10:00.000+02:00

... it's saturday morning

I'm feeling really bad... my hospital adventures has just started and unfortunately things are a bit worse than it was supposed to be

Patience

Ricard's gone to the dentist

I'm here with Guns'N'Roses playing sooooooo loud...

TAKE ME DOWN TO THE PARADISE CITY....

I'm singing out even louder.... I love these songs, they're so full of energy and life!

And remind me of my 16years old when I was their greatest fan....

When I went to Tourin to see them live and splet the night in front of the stadium gate with my best friends Chiara and Irene to secure a front line place.
It was hot and sunny, we got sunburned, met many people like us, played cards for hours waiting fot the show to start. And then it was just an explosion of lights, guitars, drums and 100.000 people singing out loud... unbelievable emotional.

That day has been the happiest in my life for a long time.. and even now 14 years later it's still in a good rank :D

It's a great anti-depressive! Maybe my neighbours aren't so happy ;)
