RIP Cliff Burton!

September 27 is the anniversary of the death of Cliff Burton, bass player of Metallica.. This video collects memories in a very Metallica way, a bit of all..

Cliff Burton February 10, 1962 — September 27, 1986

In memory of Cliff (thanks Svein for the hint! Svein is a huge Metallica fan!!):

Marlene Kuntz

I have to post this video too, so much related to yesterday videos.. a different version of “Nuotando nell’aria” by Marlene Kuntz, with an amazing female singer, Cristina Donà:

But they had other occasions to share the stage with amazing female singers

..and a wonderful tribute:

Aikido weekend in Oslo, at Aikikan dojo, for a seminar with one of my favorite instructors, Philippe Orban, 6.dan from Leipzig! Too long since last time: the perfect choice for these last few months before my graduation exam.

Emotions..

We have taken a good habit now at work, while performing never ending test ni the lab: we alternate at the pc to choose YouTube videos, in order to have a good music background (when of course we are not in need to hear sounds from our system under test!). Today I took a jump to my past, proposing to one colleague that appreciated some bands of my university time: CCCP and then CSI and Marlene Kuntz..

Almost back

…almost completely back from the long trip to Angelo’s wedding! Just landed in Oslo and, YES!, this time I got my luggage at once.. long story, I’ll write later about it! But for now, got everything with me and I found these free online PC at the first floor.. so I get a chance to blog and check email..

Very nice trip, very nice wedding ceremony and party in the very deep south of Italy.. I admit I have not been swimming in the sea, because only of the lack of time, but we visited some very nice places and we had a good time!

It won’t be easy to get back to work tomorrow morning, since I expect to ha9ve a long sleepless night over here. But that had been planned and I must only take care to not fall asleep on my keyboard or worse! Tomorrow night I see a very uncommon early night for me, also without practice! Amazing, uhm? ;-

I will have time maybe to start upload some pics from this wonderful place in Italy.. one day I will.. cnsidering I still have to upload some from Beijing (August 2008) since now……….. with a few trips in between and 4 (!) wedding ceremonies this year only!!!!

As said, this was the last.. finally! Good in some ways: happy to share the happiness of my friends, but doubtless I feel something missing into myself, something there could have also been for me.. but now I have set my mind differently, in this state I entered about 1 year ago.. and I do not think about myself getting married at all!!!

Too much to do, to many different goals are in front of my eyes and I will manage to make them come true! I know it, and f*ck the past!

So, to all the dear frends tha got married this year (but only to them ;-P ): my best wishes for your happiness!

For me, I am working for my happiness and in about 18 days:

Taiwan, I am coming!!!!!!

Kind of cool

The last time I kissed her, I knew it was the last time.. I maybe hoped or thought it could be more and at the same time I knew it was the end, and I wished she would miss my sloppy way of kissing..

This year, all the girl I kissed, when I did that, I knew it would have been the last time.. and maybe it was not even a too bad feeling. I had some stories, fast and short.. strange year..

I was watching this movie where the female character complained that the last kiss you never know it is the last.. and I realized it I knew.. not once only but.. a few times this year.. and I do not miss any of those.. maybe one only could really kiss back, but more will come (hopefully soon) and more important girls that will break my heart will come too..

Of course, I prefer to get and give a few kisses without the heart-breaking part.. not enough old fashion maybe

Goodbye dear grandma!

This morning at 6am my grandma Eugenia died in her sleep..

I will remember yesterday, when she talked and joked with me saying: “You are getting older”..

True, I do not get any younger….

Goodbye nonna!

Troisi – Daniele

It was probably just luck that I switched on TV yesterday at the right time, and I did not only enjoy Ispettore Coliandro, but before that some very old interviews and program that gave me goosebump: Massimo Troisi and Pino Daniele!

Oh.. I wish all could understand Italian.. Troisi was a genious!

Music and laugh.. all very essential, as life sometimes should be..

And if you are on a hurry, just enjoy the music and the poetry in “O ssaje comme fa ‘o core“:

“La mia donna ideale e’ la donna di un altro”
(my perfect woman is someone’s woman)
- Massimo Troisi
