Genoa - Genova

Coloured façades twinkle in my eyes,
a morning breeze sweeps my sea,
rosemary fragrance hits my face,
stones and sand soothen my skin.

Left behind but carved in my veins,
unregular paths under my feet,
the voice of my mother calling my name,
my father who sings at the end of the day.

Sweet Little Bella

Your lips form words
that sound like wind on a summer night.
Like a swaying flower
you walk through our rooms, echoes of laughter.

Your Mum and I look at you,
stunned in silence.
Tender beauty
enriches our hearts.

Jamie's Smile

It starts at your eyes,
It enlightens your grace,
It curls your nose up,
It's a smile on your face.

John Lennon - 25 years ago





Tomorrow it will be 25 years since a lunatic killed Mr. Lennon in New York.
A small tribute to John with his own words:

There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more

The Magnificent 5




Will our SuperNaturals Luuk, Rick, Marcel, Jeroen handle and judge the juices in the right way?
Will we find the tart one?
Do we go for full-bodied, lingering stuff or rather refreshing ones?

Welcome to the next level my friends..................................

Arms of a woman - Amos Lee

I am at ease in the arms of a woman
Although now, most of my days are spent alone
A thousand miles from the place I was born
When she wakes me, she takes me back home

Now most days are spent like a child
Who's afraid of ghosts in the night
I know there aint nothing out there
But I am still afraid to turn on the light

Little J and the Dolphin


Through the blue I hear his heart beating,
Astonished in silence, admiring elegance.
Stolen freedom

Hole in the Market

The iBuzz. This is the name of the last frontier of entertainment. It vibrates at the rhythm of music. Just read carefully the instructions, this will prevent that you put the earphones in the wrong place.

The King of Pop ?????


While probably the whole population of The Netherlands was waiting outside the shops to get the tickets for Robbie's concerts in the summer, I was comfortably sitting at home booking the San Siro stadium concert in Milan. So, funny faces, I will see you out there.

La fava e l'acqua santa


Oggi è la giornata della venticinquenne Maestrina "Lafave" (chissà perchè il nome mi ricorda un legume) condannata, sebbene non finirà in prigione, per aver fatto sesso 3 volte con un suo studente di 14 anni. Secondo voi lo ha costretto? non penso proprio.
Sento tutti i maschietti in coro ululare.
Però tutti questi maschietti probabilmente storcerebbero il naso se la maestra fosse stata un maestro e l'alunno fosse stato un'alunna.
Quindi, se un uomo di 25 anni non deve andare a letto con una ragazza di 14 anni la stessa regola deve valere anche per la maestra.

Il Giorno Dopo

Buongiorno mondo. Che rottura di palle (o maroni, con una R, come dice il Rigo). E' di nuovo lunedì e si ricomincia la routine lavorativa con clienti che si lamentano, colleghi un pochino lenti che non capiscono. E poi...nessuno, ma dico nessuno, che parla di calcio. Ma come si fa? Il mio DNA è programmato in maniera tale che al lunedì si DEVE parlare di calcio (e si DEVE vivere di Genoa). Più tardi telefono al grande Masaniello e parliamo almeno un pochino di Napoli.
Poi leggo il giornale e vedo che a Torino fanno la coda per entrare a vedere il processo alla Franzoni che probabilmente ha massacrato il figlio di 3 anni (la gente si gode questi spettacoli nell'era dei reality show) e nella stessa pagina leggo che quel pirla di Fisichella si è fatto ritirare la patente perchè guidava a 148 km/h dove al massimo si possono fare i 60 km/h.

Italian Thriller

A due anni dall'uscita sto leggendo il semplice ma efficace "Io Uccido". Chi avrebbe pensato che uno che fino a ieri faceva solo ridere potesse anche scrivere storie di Serial Killers.................a Montecarlo poi.

Le radici


IT Che emozione guardare una foto in bianco e nero e sentirsi trasportato nel tempo. E pensare che siamo cosi' distanti, ascoltando i Coldplay a -2 gradi......

EN What an emotion to look at a black & white picture and feel like being transported in time. Thinking that we are so far away, listening to Coldplay at -2 degrees......

Far away.
