Lettura parallela di Mediterraneo e Candide

L’avventura nel mondo sconosciuto. La Guerra.
Il Valhala. L’isola.
L’ottimismo. Il volere costruire qualcosa di buono.
Il ritorno alla relta’. La sconfitta.

Il finale a masticar pistazi, o ad affettare melanzane, poiche’  “Non si viveva poi cosi’ bene in italia: non ci hanno lasciato cambiar niente. Allora ho detto. avete vinto voi. Ma almeno non riuscirete a farmi vostro complice.”

Mediterraneo acquista valore piu’ si invecchia. “Dedicato a tutti quello che stanno scappando” nel 1991 mi suonava astruso. Oggi e’ diventato il mio stile di vita. Devo trovare un’isoletta greca dove aprire un ristorante.

I leave you, productive society …

I leave you, productive society

Another dreamer gives up
I leave you to live
I leave you to love
I leave you because I love the night
and I do not care the morning having gold in its mouth

I leave you for the light of the candles in the night
I leave you for the satisfaction of the music played
when everybody sleeps planning its future tomorrow

I leave you, productive society
because I surely realized you deny life
you deny dreams
you deny

I leave you to those poor men
believing in success
and power
and command
as being witness of a God who doesn’t exist.

Being my God told to say: live like a bird
And so I will.

How bitchy must a female popstar be to get famous?

Probably I am just getting old … Nevertheless, I wonder where the success of these women comes from. To me, being older than 30, they look like good looking women making money showing boobs and assess (and – some – talent of course) – striking examples of emancipated women of the new century Were the MTV awards sponsored by Victoria’s secrets?

Firefox 3.5.4 fades the colors of flickr.com pictures

I never liked the new Firefox 3.0

1) It crashes more frequently than the last 2.xx (which NEVER crashed)

2) It’s damn’ slow on my eeePC

3) My pictures loaded on flickr.com look almost completely DESATURATED with the new Firefox – not with Explorer, not with the old Firefox

Do I have to switch to Explorer? My flickr.com pictures look like if I left them on a sunny week in my car – only when I browse them with the new Firefox …

Any help?

Wir wollen Schweizer Bauern sein !

Hi tech jobs, job careers: over with it. I am fed up with the kind of results my job produces. Today we were by Ballenberg and we enjoyed so much being Schweizer Bauer for a day. In Tessin it was good, but also in Berner Oberland, Uri, Graubuenden and Jura it did not sound bad. Look at our picture on flickr.com - and, very important:

If you know a Bauerhof in need of new owners, here we are. We promise hard work, blog updates and all the interviews you want for a new reality show Just let us produce vegetable, eggs and milk!

I love black and white …

… but some colors do not disturb …

Al pastore di Gallura

Al pastore di Gallura,

trascinato via nel fosso
morto solo sotto il fiume
che inondava la pianura.

Morto senza che stridio
di lamiere o di metalli
soffocasse il suo lamento.

Al pastore di Gallura
che la morte ha rapinato
della vita e dell’armento.

Questa morte inaspettata
nella terra conosciuta
Che la  terra ti sia lieve
o pastore di Gallura.
