About Me


I love life.
T.S. Eliot once wrote:
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

My Interests

Cinema, music, video making, mac, the sea, running

I'd like to meet:


Joni Mitchell of course.
But I would like to meet new friends, of a genuine type, that's why I am bothering with all this writing!

Music:

Julia Fordham!any kind of music as long as it's good
One of my favourite songs:
Almeno tu nell'Universo

Sai, la gente è strana
Prima si odia e poi ama
Cambia idea improvvisamente
Prima la verità, poi mentiranno senza serietà
Come fosse niente You know, people are strange
First they hate and then love each other
They suddenly change their minds
First the truth and then they will lie without dignity
As if it were nothing
Sai, la gente matta
Forse troppo insoddisfatta
Segue il mondo ciecamente
Quando la moda cambia
Lei pure cambia
Continuamente, scioccamente You know, people are crazy
Maybe too unsatisfied
They blindly follow this world
When fashion changes
they also change
Continuously, foolishly
Tu, tu che sei diverso
Almeno tu nell'Universo
Un punto sei che non ruota mai intorno a me
Un sole che splende per me soltanto
Come un diamante in mezzo al cuore You, you that are different
At least you in the Universe
A point you are that never turns around me
A sun which shines only for me
Like a diamond in the middle of my heart
Tu, tu che sei diverso
Almeno tu nell'universo
Non cambierai
Dimmi che per sempre sarai sincero
E che mi amerai davvero
Di più di più di più You, you that are different
At least you in the Universe
You will not change
Tell me that you will be always sincere
And that you will really love me
More and more and more
Sai, la gente sola
Come può lei si consola
Non far si che la mia mente
Si perda in congetture, in paure
Inutilmente e poi per niente You know, people who are lonely
They find comfort as best as they can
Don't cause my mind to
Wander supposing, fearing
Unusefully and just for nothing
Tu, tu che sei diverso
Almeno tu nell'Universo
Un punto sei che non ruota mai intorno a me
Un sole che splende per me soltanto
Come un diamante in mezzo al cuore You, you that are different
At least you in the Universe
A point you are that never turns around me
A sun which shines only for me
Like a diamond in the middle of my heart
Tu, tu che sei diverso
Almeno tu nell'Universo
Non cambierai
Dimmi che per sempre sarai sincero
E che mi amerai davvero
Di più di più di più You, you that are different
You will never change
At least you in the Universe
Tell me that you will be always sincere
And that you will really love me
More and more and more
Non cambierai
Dimmi che per sempre sarai sincero
E che mi amerai davvero, davvero
Di più di più di più You will not change
Tell me that you will always be sincere
And that you will really really love me
More and more and more

But I like of course, Joni Mitchell, Julia Fordham, Joan Baez... all Js! And male-wise, Frank Sinatra, Pat Metheny (not a singer really) and some good Italian singers whom maybe are not so known outside of my country: Lucio Battisti, Mina, Lucio Dalla ecc.

Movies:

The sound of music, of course! ;-) or any sound of music... and all the rest, as long as it is good music.

Books:

If only I had time to read them. But I am fond of "Le Petit Prince" di Antoine de Saint-Exupery (more a philosophical essay than a children's book),
Martian Chronicles (Ray Bradbury), Il nome della rosa (Umberto Eco), anything by Angela Carter, etc.
