Yesterday I saw King George, a good camrade, whose ideas about politics I really liked. Especially the vision of secret plots in Italy to subdue democracy that were made in the past. It was extremely interesting to discuss with him.
There are people from the past you never forget completely. Anyway, this conversations punctured me to restart reading and questioning, not that I forgot how to do it, simply working on the thesis almost 24 hours it has been difficult not to leave a bit aside this passion for italian repubblican history I have always had. But I'll make up to it.
Thank you King George

...write and rewrite
Rain, clouds and bad mood arrived now in Rome. It looks like autumn finally got here even though there might be a little bit more of sun in the next weeks I'm afraid this is the wheather we will have until next year. It refelcts a lot on my personal esprit, I really am influenced by grey.
Today I spoke with the professor as usual, who said my october will be to "write and rewrite" which sounds outstandingly awesome. But anyway I'll get it done. There are good news on the birghtside, I'll be going to Madrid a few days in october which will steal me from work but will recharge my batteries that are frankly a bit down.
Last saturday I needed so badly to unplug from these studying sessions I have that I drank until I was totally shitfaced...it was fun, I threw up in a very discrete manner, not bothering anyone at the party and that was the proof Erasmus trained me to do something (at least). However it was a good time, I saw a lot of people I hadn't been together in years, we chat, drank and chilled.
It was also the occasion to spend some time with a friend I really miss from the old days, someone who has always had a particular space and importance in my universe. It looks like he still has it.

Basketball
I love playing basketball...
It's a weird week, I work lighter, especially because I don't have the strenght anymore, and I live more. Saying "I live more" I evidently not mean that I found a way to stretch days in oreder to gain a few hours, I refer to the number of things done in one day.
Anyway, I'd like to spend a few words on the Pope's standings about Islam he took about a week ago. I do think that someone who always wants (and obtains) to be a political reference, should act with a political behaviour, like politicians are trained to do (or are supposed to be).
For the first time in history a Pope has rephrased. He said "sorry guys, but maybe you didn't read me correctly". I was a bit astonished, I'm quite used to hear politicians do that, but frankly I couldn't imagine the Pope to review his positions.
Anyway I hope everyone is fine, I can't really get in touch with all of you, at first I thought a lot of people just didn't know about the new blog, then I realized there was a preference who wouldn't let not memebers to leave comments, so now I know that some of you might have tried with no success. How sad. I hope lots and lots more of godsons will reach the godfather's house. Cheers

September rain
It's rainy in Rome, it's been two shitty days wheaterly speaking...anyway I kept working as usual, hoping my bloody relator won't make stories monday morning as he is quite too much used to do these days. I've been planning a lot lately for my future, if projects will become realities I'll tell about 'em, but for now they occupy the field of "dreams" so I'll keep them for myself.
It's becoming harder and harder to keep in touch with everyone, especially FUBIS guys. Now you're finally in Europe but I really don't have the chance to come and visit, at least for the moment. But we'll have our chances.
I'm looking forward to have more to write and discuss, for now I'm deeply sorry toremark that I'm fucking boring, doing only work and not having great subjects of conversation.
Take Care

Desperate
Jeez, I need a vacation...
I'm working hard for the last effort to complete the thesis, even though my professor shows some resistences. It's really hard when people don't aknowledge your work, it seems really easy for them to direct and give orders when it takes more than a smile for you to achieve results.
Anyway I'm a little disgusted by a lot of small things, mostly part of the past, that are in addiction the reasons why being in Rome is so hard. I'm bored here, I feel strongly the sensation to have wasted a lot of time in the past and I need to believe the best is yet to come. I have great plans, maybe dreams, but on that I'll try as hard as I can...I will leave this damned city and country, one way or another.
On the other hand evenings are quite happily spent these days, I hang out with nice people (which I need in order to avoid becoming crazy), and have good time.
I hope everyone is enjoying what they're doing,
hugs

Paying a debt
It was a long time ago when I first wanted to publish these words. I never had the chance and now finally I'll turn them public. they tell a little about me and a little about everyone around me. Best secrets and joys I'll only tell later, for now let's make it up to you, I'm really sorry...
First days of august 2006:
"It's been almost a month, I know. I'm in Brussels, having fun, enjoying life feeling really good vibrations...but unfortunately not able to have an internet connection in my place so after a number of attempts in some really dirty paki call centers i finally succeed in writing a couple of words for y'all. I'm working hard for the thesis, meeting old and new friends, rebuilding bridges of friendship between Italy and Belgium. The work proceeds slow and full of obstacles but I should be able to get it done within the deadline.
I called my brother yesterday, with the family spread all over the world it's important to keep in touch with everyone. He seemed happy and excited for this thing he started. I envy him in a way because when I had the chance to do it (by the way he's doing his fourth year of high school in the US) I didn't.
Anyway, in less than two weeks I'm back in my hometown once again, I think I'll never get used to goodbyes and coming backs. Sometimes I'd like to be more a jerk, not so passionate about people and places. It really tears you apart to leave someone knowing there's not much of a chance to see each other again. On the other hand I feel like living everyday like it's the last one, saving every breath I take for how emotional it is.
It's been an healthy time though. I'm playing basketball almost every day, I'm eating good stuff, I mean healthy stuff, lots of vegetables, and I finally changed my drinking habits, since until the end of erasmus it really was too much...
I miss people, my people. I spoke to Miquel a couple of days ago and there's maybe a tiny chance to get together, with Silvia as well, back in Rome before he starts working. Gerardo apparently works hard and doesn't have time for coming, on the other hand he is in sweet company so...I cheer fo that. Shay told me he's planning his German semester, Alix should be right now with Omer and Kyle in Texas and she became a taunt! No news of Joao and Arne who should be still in Portugal and China. Diego is in Barcelona, I spoke a little with him yesterday, he seemed happy. As for the gentle american guys met in Munich a couple of weeks ago, I'm still regretting not to have met you here in BXL, it's such a shame, especially because I'm not sure about coming soon to LA :(
Pablo, Luis and Alejandro are still in Brussels, haven't met them yet though. Jarco and Agueda left not too much ago for Spain before leaving to California where they'll spend the next academic year.
And I think that's pretty much makin'it up to date.
I think a lot of you all, people mentioned here, and people I'm not that much (or anymore) in touch with, the reflects of this year of madness on me are impressive and if it did any good it's all thanks to you. I hope someday we'll find a way to spend the time of a beer together, as we once did. I miss you, I love you, I hug you.
Take care, I'll try to do the same"

New Space, New Life
Here we are again all together in peace. The godfather needed to change environment to keep writing so we moved. Hope the same people coming there will come here, I'll try to keep it up to date as much as possible.
cheers
