Brasil?? No, Juve!!

30 08 2009

First and probably last time I post a football video, but it was ages since I enjoyed so much seeing some Juventus players like this “new” guy called Diego:

I still think Italian football is in the hands of petrol-euros or commercial-TV-euros, and the teams that actually have a balanced and proepr economy have no real chances these days.. but it was nice to see these goals!





Answer, you f**k!!!

In the day that the Italian prime minister, the one that does not need to be mentioned and I do not like to write his name (otherwise I have to run to the toilet!), is suing(!) “La Repubblica” for 1million € (!) plus unspecified damages (!) for posing questions about his relationship with a teenager (!), I decide to repropose these questions here, hoping many other bloggers will do the same!!!

 10 questions that were enough for put this “man” in panic! Therefore he could react in the only way he can accept: answering easy questions??? Nah! Deny all, accuse the newspaper to be controlled by the left wing that hates so much Italy and of course let his lawyers speak for him.. Good strategy, so he can spend more time with his young friends..

Before the questions, have a look at this brilliant post:

Princess and Frog, Italian-Style

And now see what has scared a mighty man like this:

10 questions:

1. Mr. Prime Minister, when did you first have the chance to meet Noemi Letizia? How many times did you meet her and where? Have you frequented other minors and do you still do so?
  
   2. What is the reason that forced you to not tell the truth for two months, instead giving four different versions of your acquaintance with Noemi before making two belated admissions?

   3. Don’t you find it a serious matter, for Italian democracy and for your leadership, that you repaid the girls that call you “papi” (daddy) with candidatures and promises of political responsibilities?

   4. You stayed with a prostitute the night of November 4, 2008 and, according to judicial investigations dozens of “call girls” have been taken to your residences. Were you aware that they were prostitutes? If not, are you able to guarantee that those encounters haven’t made you vulnerable, which is to say subject to blackmail, as demonstrated by the recordings of Patrizia D’Addario and the photos of Barbara Montereale?

   5. Has it ever happened that “official government flights” without you aboard were used to take female party guests to your residences?

   6. Can you say without fear of contradiction that the people you keep company with haven’t caused prejudice to affairs of State? Can you reassure the country and our allies that no female guest of yours possess arms of blackmail that diminish your political independence, domestic and international?

   7. Your conduct contradicts your policies: would you still be able today to attend a Family Day demonstration or sign a law punishing the customer of a prostitute?

   8. Do you still consider yourself eligible for the office of President of the Republic? If not, do you think that a person that
      common opinion considers unfit for the Quirinale presidential palace can fulfil his duties as Prime Minister?

   9. You have spoken of a “subversive plan” that threatens you. Can you guarantee not having used and not wanting to use intelligence and the police force against witnesses, magistrates and journalists?

  10. In light of what has emerged in the last two months, what, Mr. Prime Minister, is your state of health?

So, please, bloggers of the world, give your solidarity to “La Repubblica” and shout with me:

Answer, you f**k!!!





New Aikido semester at a start!!

28 08 2009

This weekend Stavanger Jūshinkan Aikido will receive visit from Erik Vanem, 3.dan from Oslo Aikido dojo, my previous instructor from my short stay in Oslo. Second visit for Erik in Stavanger, first in the new dojo. A good start for our club with also official NAF grading for the “higher” kyu grades (Jacqueline to 4.kyu and Karwan to 3.kyu) together with probably a couple of new 6.kyu!

Hopefully a good start for a new exciting semester of Aikido here in Stavanger! Remember, the only Aikido club in Stavanger!!

My Aikido Fall semester (H09) has already taken shape in a quite defined way (one or two only are still uncertain..):

3-5 sep. Jiri Novotny – 4.dan Tekisuikan, Trondheim
11-13 sept. Frank Noel – 7. dan Vanadis Stockholm, Sweden
25-27 sept. Philippe Orban – 6. dan Aikikan Oslo
2-3 oct. Christian Tissier – 7. dan Berlin, Germany
23-25 oct. Seishiro Endo – 8. dan Shanghai, China
30 oct.- 1 nov. Frank Ostoff – 5. dan Oslo Sentrum
6-8 nov. Börje Linden – 6. dan JuShinKan Stavanger
13-15 nov. Jan Nevelius – 6.dan Tekisuikan, Trondheim
20-22 nov. Yudansha seminar with:
Jan Nevelius – 6.dan
Mouliko Halen – 6.dan
Sunyata Oslo
27-29 nov. Seishiro Endo – 8. dan Vienna, Austria
4-6 dec. Alessandro Costa – 4. dan JuShinKan Stavanger
11-13 dec. Jorma Lyly – 5. dan Sunyata Oslo
19-20 dec. Christian Tissier – 7. dan Vienna, Austria

And again I should manage to accomplish the main goal of being away from Stavanger in the weekends to avoid any un-necessary bad feeling!





First day out of FB reality..

27 08 2009

..yes, today will be remembered, but probably not really because I survived even without Facebook but because I got a very interesting call from an unexpected location..

..Shenzhen, China.. but I do not want to say too much about this, for superstition reasons!! :-D

I am not sure if my proficiency at work increased already (probably I need a few more days!) but except for having lost forever a few contacts, I am not too angry with FB people..

Of course, tonight I have also read that there are Italian groups related to one right wing party writing about torture as defense from immigration.. I would like to show them what I think about their philosophy.. and I wonder why Facebook do not close their accounts ;-)





My Facebook account was disabled!

26 08 2009

Oh yeah, Facebook gave a kick in the arse to me too!! :-)

Facebook diasbled my account!

Reason? From their homepage, cut & paste (it seems a CIA/FBI press release about the misterious weapons of mass distruction!!):

Why was I disabled?
Facebook enforces limits on the site in order to prevent certain actions that can be considered abusive. Your account has been disabled for persistent and rapid use of a certain feature. Unfortunately, for security reasons, we will not be able to further explain these limits.
Why are there limits?
Facebook has limits in place to prevent abuse of our features and to protect users from potential spam.
What are the limits?
Unfortunately, Facebook cannot provide any specifics on the rate limits that we enforce. Please know, however, that the speed at which you are acting and the sheer number of actions you have made are both taken into account.

Clear, right?? :-D

I think I will follow the line of this guy, not opening a new account.. with only the pity that I lost contacts to the very few people I knew only there..

Someone else fought and got the account back.. but I read now it is enough one member reports you because of you ask to be his/her contact and they cancel your account..

Lately I was removing contacts myself, people I never really contacted.. I see this way was faster!

So, if any of my contacts in NINGBO (China) or CHINA or TAIWAN or JAPAN especially that I did not get MSN addresses is looking for me and remember my blog, leave a message here, I will take contact!

It is probably good news for my work, my flickr updates, my blog and my evening activities! :-D





Happy Chinese S. Valentine!!!

26 08 2009

情人节快乐

Even without a person to share this day with I want to wish it to all my gorgeous Chinese and Taiwanese friends.. and of coruse also the other pretty girls I know around the world.. even if it is not the 14th of February common date.. ;-)

A good wish, a hug and a smile is good any time fo the year :-)

And another wish goes again to Taiwan: have a look at this photo-log for pictures from the passage of the typhoon! Please, send help!





100000 visits!!!

25 08 2009

And counting!!!

Thanks to all the people visiting
my blog!!!

Yes! 100thousand hits on my little “diary”.. it is a great result that I never really hoped to reach that fast!

Besides the Aikido friends and Aikido posts, I must say special thanks to 2 asian angels that have boosted up the visits to my blog! One I had the pleasure to meet, the other one only (unfortunately) to write about here:

Miwa Asao,
浅尾美和

(official blog)

Riyo Mori,
森理世

(official blog)

They are both models, and Miwa is also a beach volley player that in the last couple of years has really improved herself. They are also both worth, 100%, to be in my Asian Angels category, and I can truly say that Miwa’s smile is special! She is a “normal” young girl, and I am so sad I had no chance to meet her this year in Stavanger..

Quite special, not surprising though, that both these gorgeous women, raising the hits for my blog, are from Japan.. my first and strongest dream country.. Not surprising my Aikido hits are much lower than those about these angels, even if most of my readers are Aikido friends that have pity for me and my sad posts!!!

100000 visits on my blog!
