AFTER ME
(Ferdinando Arnò -Malika Ayane)

It's time already
for me to go
I don't feel I have to explain
Add me to the dreams
you don't want to remember
but that follow you
And I leave you my curiosity
the things I don't want to hope for
Think of building a soul
on which you can count when you don't believe in yourself
You'll survive
to the certainty need
if you give yourself up to the world around you
If you are strong of your sweetness
the unhappiness will go
Don't ask yourself why
but tomorrow it will be gone
be gone
Preserve those sweet tears
for the days that seem bitter
But leave the beauty free
it will surprise you

Sorry guys I wasn't able to find a proper translation of this quoting by Woody Allen. It's about the fact life should be lived to the contrary or to born as old aged and to grown up as children.



NASCERE AL CONTRARIO

Qui è tutto sbagliato.
La vita dovrebbe essere vissuta al contrario.
Tanto per cominciare si dovrebbe iniziare morendo, e così tricchete tracchete il trauma è già bello che superato.
Quindi ti svegli in un letto di ospedale e apprezzi il fatto che vai migliorando giorno dopo giorno.
Poi ti dimettono perchè stai bene, e la prima cosa che fai è andare in posta a ritirare la tua pensione, e tela godi al meglio.
Col passare del tempo, le tue forze aumentano, il tuo fisico migliora, le rughe scompaiono.
Poi inizi a lavorare, e il primo giorno ti regalano un'orologio d'oro.
Lavori quarant'anni finchè non sei così giovane da sfruttare adeguatamente il ritiro dalla vita lavorativa.
Quindi vai di festino in festino, bevi, giochi, fai sesso e ti prepari per iniziare a studiare.
Poi inizi la scuola, giochi con gli amici, senza alcun tipo di obblighi e responsabilità, finchè non sei bebè.
Quando sei sufficientemente piccolo, ti infili in un posto che ormai dovresti conoscere molto bene.
Gli ultimi 9 mesi te li passi flottando tranquillo e sereno, in un posto riscaldato con room service e tanto affetto, senza che nessuno ti rompa i coglioni.
E alla fine abbandoni questo mondo in un orgasmo.
(Woody Allen)

Thanks muchly to miss_muffin71 for the heads up. *mwwwuahs*

...credono che al mondo ci sia ancora qualcosa di meraviglioso, dedicato a tutti quelli che credono ancora nell'amore, dedicato a tutti quelli che nonostante tutto, non si arrendono mai.





MERAVIGLIOSO
(cantata dai Negramaro, originariamente interpretata da Domenico Modugno)

E’ vero
credetemi è accaduto
di notte su di un ponte
guardando l’acqua scura
con la dannata voglia
di fare un tuffo giù
D’un tratto
qualcuno alle mie spalle
forse un angelo
vestito da passante
mi portò via dicendomi
Così:
Meraviglioso
ma come non ti accorgi
di quanto il mondo sia
meraviglioso
Meraviglioso
perfino il tuo dolore
potrà guarire poi
meraviglioso
Ma guarda intorno a te
che doni ti hanno fatto:
ti hanno inventato
il mare!
Tu dici non ho niente
Ti sembra niente il sole!
La vita
l’amore
Meraviglioso
il bene di una donna
che ama solo te
meraviglioso
La luce di un mattino
l’abbraccio di un amico
il viso di un bambino
meraviglioso
meraviglioso…
Ma guarda intorno a te
che doni ti hanno fatto:
ti hanno inventato
il mare!
Tu dici non ho niente
Ti sembra niente il sole!
La vita
l’amore
meraviglioso
La notte era finita
e ti sentivo ancora
Sapore della vita
Meraviglioso

ATTENSIONE! ATTENSIONE!


Apologia del creato! Là, oltre l'almeno, tra campi di mucchi, nella valle del sè, nel regno dei gesti, agli antipodi, dove si mandano giù i rospi per sputare i principi, dove si usa l'incredibile per fare il possibile, là, c'è la lingua levatoia che fà passare il pensiero.
Scrittura carraia: non ci deve essere nulla davanti. Certo che costa: è la cauzione che serve per "sprigionar" le forze! E' nergia! Energia enucleare per estrarre la forza chiusa, parola di minattore.
Trasporto carichi emotivi, Consolato degli Insetti, donatori d'idee, collaudatori d'attimi: attensione! Attensione! Si è perso del tempo! Non resta che pregare Tantalo (Sua Quantità), Dio del Colmo (Sua Vastità), e far apparire i soqquadri. Ma zitti, anima in bocca! Dove sta scritto? Sta scritto quì (Nel)!
Uomini del dappertutto, unitemi!

MOSCOW, Russian Federation, 24 November 2008 – The children at the Krasnoselsky social shelter in Moscow could not believe their eyes when Orlando Bloom, an enthusiastic supporter of UNICEF programmes, stopped in for a visit recently. This was his first visit to Russia.

The children were all very excited at the chance to talk to their hero. They asked him when he started acting, what kind of music he listens to and whether or not he likes Russian cuisine.

“I love the openness and honesty of children,” Mr. Bloom said, as he answered all of the children’s questions.

Crucial care for children

The children in the shelter are from vulnerable families who are unable to provide for them due to economic and social pressures. Many have been neglected or forced to survive on their own in the streets, exposing them to all sorts physical and psychological traumas.

UNICEF supports a number of institutions in Moscow and St. Petersburg that offer rehabilitation and support to such children.

“I was very impressed with my visit to the UNICEF-supported shelter,” said Mr. Bloom. “I wanted to understand for myself some of the crucial work being done for those children who really need help. Every child has the right to food and to live in a family environment. I was amazed by the strength and courage of the children and how the centre was trying to enable the children to return to their original families.”

A higher priority

UNICEF also works at the regional and national levels to promote social programmes that provide intervention, support and reintegration services.

UNICEF’s Representative in Russia, Bertrand Bainvel, stressed the importance of such services and shelters. He explained that they offer immediate care to children found in extremely hazardous and difficult situations, and help them to recover and reintegrate into society.

“UNICEF is pleased to see that in Russia, much more priority is now being placed on minimizing these situations in the first place either by supporting vulnerable families or developing alternative family based care when it is not in the best interest of the child to grow up in its biological family,” said Mr. Bainvel.

‘Methods to solve problems’

By working with UNICEF, Mr. Bloom has already begun to bring attention to children’s problems in many countries, from providing clean drinking water in Nepal to the situation of children in Sarajevo.

“I like the fact that UNICEF does not simply provide people with the humanitarian aid, but also elaborates on methods and tools to solve problems and improve the life of children and women,” said Mr. Bloom.

Goodnight! :D

Il modo migliore per sostenere Orlando e mostrargli affetto sia andare a vedere i suoi film o meglio ancora essere andati a vederlo a teatro ovvero farlo quando più ne ha bisogno. Il resto è fuffa a mazzetti.

Inviargli delle e-mails equivale a rompergli i coglioni tanto quanto mandargli dei regali.

Proclamare di aver fatto una cosa non equivale ad averla fatta davvero, ci vogliono le cosiddette ed ingombranti prove.

Qualcuno visti i tempi di vacche magre sta cercando disperatamente di mettersi in mostra.

A chi ha orecchie per intendere intenda, tutti gli altri in camper.



The best way you can choose to support Orlando and show him some loving is just going to watch his movies or even better have been able went to watch his play I mean we have to support him when he needs most. The rest is pettiness.

Send him emails means busting his balls as much as send him gifts.

To claim you did something doesn't mean you really did. We need some proofs so to speak.

Considering that the fanbase is going through bad time someone is desperately seeking to put themselves in to the spotlight.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

I'm annoyed to death of people making wrong assumptions about Buddhism, I'm deadly sick to read nonsenses of persons whom don't know what are talking about.
Buddhism is a religion like Catholicism or Judaism, and to be clear Tibetan Buddhism is a religion, Nichirien Buddhism is a religion as well IT'S NOT A CULT.
As if I'd hang around claiming that Baptist and Methodist are cults. The unknowing of people about religion is quite embarassing what I don't get it is why they just don't shut the fuck up. If at all you can't help it you need just a few mintues to do a little web research so you can get a sense of it.
Also I feel offended from people whom think that Buddhism is only a trendy thing for celebrities or such. Buddhism is a no laughing matter for many people around the world and we deserves respect as much as other faithful.

And to finish I wanna talk of Orlando. He never said he would have changed the world or made the difference. He realized how lucky has been during these years so he decided to give something back. He never actively promoted his belief or used his fame as a platform for hateful speech since now.
About the fact he lied and about the fact that his actions are questionable 'in light of what he wants everyone to think of him as', well in the great scheme of things we ALL lie every single day too, the only difference is that northern hemisphere will never know we did.
Hypocrisy rules. *shakes head*


End of rant.

Don't ask why he is involved with the American election campaign cause I really don't know.

Orlando Bloom loves the media ignoring him now his film career has stalled.'The fact the paps have cooled off is fine by me,' he said.
