CURRENT MISSION living, travelling, studying, learning, experiencing, tasting, smelling, climbing... asking questions and trying to find answers ABOUT ME ALL about me?! Hmmm... Like most of you, I guess, I am not so good at describing myself. Okey-dokey, just to give you an idea: I am dusty, rusty, angry, hungry, slow, clumsy, lazy, crazy, boring, ordinary, old-fashioned, pessimistic, not romantic and without sense of humour. OK, now you are prepared for the worse, so you can only be surprised positively! ;P ARE YOU SURE YOU STILL WANNA MEET UP?! ;o) -- Meet me and figure out for yourself, how I am, who I am, what I am!.. PHILOSOPHY - The important thing is not to stop questioning. Never lose a holy curiosity. (Albert Einstein) - I am trying to bring a bit more joy into this (sometimes rather sad) world - It's a sad and beautiful world (Tom Waits, soundtrack to Down by Law, Jim Jarmusch, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP2tqJTSfgU) - I don't wanna grow up... (Tom Waits, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo4Y0TxW41g) - Always look on the bright side of life! (Monty Python, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxQgXgS5G3c&feature=fvst) - If you want to weoh, weoh - just weoh, weoh hoh! If you want to tralala - just tralala! But DO IT NOW! (Kevin Johanson, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G1-C5teoVk&feature=related) - I want to spend a Perfect Day (with you) (and Lou Reed): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYEC4TZsy-Y - Nanananana.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcHjAUhtSrk (Peach Plum Pear by Joanna Newsom)

Musica, film e libri
YESSSSSS - watch them, listen to it, read them - all the time! If you have some interesting titles to share: I am all ears! I like good movies, good music and good books, regardless of the country of their origin, language, age, and how well-known or unknown they are... Music: maybe it is easier to say what I do NOT like. ;-) I do not like pop music (whether English/American, Russian or Arabic), or anything that is too popular, mainstream and commercial. I like: good music, not mainstream, not commercial (whatever you choose to call it: underground? alternative? independent?) If you need some names, here are a few samples of some of the most famous/popular/well-known songs that I like: Tom Waits, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo4Y0TxW41g Kevin Johanson, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G1-C5teoVk&feature=related Lou Reed, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYEC4TZsy-Y Joanna Newsom, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcHjAUhtSrk Nina Simone, Feeling good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8tuTSi6Sck, ain't got no, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNZGoaAn7wU (yes I think Nina Simone deserves two tracks here ;P) Zee Avi, bitter heart, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpDXra9Zbk4; last of the gang to die, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sh_VBgOWF4 Hindi Zahra, Imik simik, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42lRuznDT8I Souad Massi, ghir enta, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NE2p6Frx5M Billy Holiday (April in Paris, or do you prefer Autumn in New York?) Tinariwen, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjxzUeRXyq0 And then some stuff by Ithri Morayma (see www.agraw.com), Idir, Desmond Dekker, Bob Marley (I know: I am not very original here), Vysotsky and a lot more!.. And still willing to learn (listen to) more, so feel free to share some good music with me! The same goes for books and movies! ;-)
Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
I was born ;-) Since then, I did and saw something amazing every day of my life... The most stupid-smart bitter-sweet painful-joyful thing I've done in my life: I fell in love?! Some less amazing stuff: - I got lost in Venice, without speaking Italian, at the age of 12... It was great! :-)) - More recently, I got lost in the desert (Sahara), without a guide, a camel and water. That was scary! But I like getting lost... - And finally: I signed up for couchsurfing... ;-) Update : I gave birth! ❤️ Update 2: I gave birth again! ❤️
