Glimpses By Daniele Nicolucci Book PreviewFirst, let me clarify that I'm male, even though my name may sound feminine to non-italophones. Daniele is written with one L and it's a male name in itailan - a girl would be Daniela.
I have had long hair. I like liked my long hair. I don't care if you think guys should have short long hair, I've had my fair share of short long hair. Take me as I am (quote).
I like finding out how things work, especially technological things. I just can't help it. I'm a geek. My life is basically in front of my computers so if you don't like that, leave now .
I speak a few languages and I can understand more languages than I can speak. I love communication, even though I'm easily describable as a loner or antisocial. Which is what I am, actually. But anyway.
I'm an IRC addict. I like taking photographs, I even have my portfolio online with photos for sale. I want to change the world. I am crazy . And I'm a Mac evangelist. I also support open source software, but I'm not a fundamentalist in that sense. I like reading. I like writing. I like making music. I love Dream Theater. I love the pure Love that I have not...
I own an informal blog and a more serious blog called Flusso di coscienza ("Stream of consciousness").
I also started and mantained a podcast called RadioNG , which is now solely mantained by my cousin. We started it long before the podcast explosion of these days, which occurred after Apple released iTunes 4.9 which has native support for podcasts. RadioNG is now officially dead.
Yes, I am Italian and I live in Italy. And for those who ask: Italy is not a grace place to live in. It may be cool to visit, but not to live in. You should all read "The dark heart of Italy" by Tobias Jones and especially "Berlusconi's shadow" by David Lane. They are British journalists who live here and described most of the craziness of this country, which actually does go beyond politics. You can find those books on Amazon , on Play.com and everywhere else.
A photo of me is available if you click on "view more pics" on the left, and yes, I did take all the photos there. In fact, if you like them, instead of stealing them (because I know someone is stealing them) you should order prints from my website . They're cheap and they look good on your walls. And please don't use my images in your pages, unless you clearly credit me and link to my website. That's the license I chose , and it's not very restrictive, so why can't you people respect it?
Please notice that I have never claimed I was an artist, a special person or anything like that, so if I happen to disappoint you, don't say I didn't warn you.
And I am paranoid. In the literal sense of the word. And antisocial. And a sociopath.
When I die, I want all of my organs and tissues that can be donated to be donated, and I want to be cremated. I would also like my ashes to be spread over an ocean, but I don't really care. I would prefer not to undergo a catholic funeral, but after I'm gone I guess I wouldn't really care. is it time to make a change?
are we closer than before?
can we help them break away?
are we profiting from war?
it's time to make a change
time for change
fight the fear
find the truth
time for changeso i'm moving on
i'll never forget
as you lay there and watched me
accepting the end
i knew you were scared
you were strong, i was trying
i gave you my hand
i said it's okay letting to
time to leave here
and i'll carry on
the best that i can
without you here beside me
let him come take you hometo those who understand
i extend my hand
to the doubtful i demand
take me as i am
not under your command
i know where i stand
i won't change to fit your plan
take me as i am[8th] step after step
we try controlling our fate
when we finally start living it's become too latewhy do i feel so numb
is it something to do with where i come from
should this be fight or flight
i don't know why I'm constantly reeling
helpless hysteria
a false sense of urgency
trapped in my phobia
possessed by anxiety
run
try to hide
overwhelmed
by this complex deliriumquando c'era Carosello era tutta un'altra cosa
mi piaceva far l'amore solamente con te
a spasso nella Cinquecento ti sentivi già mia sposa
sciogli quei capelli al vento che m'inebrio di te I can lead you down the path and back to life
all I ask is that you worship me
[...]
Don't bother try to find them
they will be coming to you
Fight, fight and destroy
until you can't take anymore
Slay, spill the blood of the rebels
for they are the children of hell
Flesh of the undead
stopping at nothing to kill
Sin, caught in a moment of weakness
commited the greatest of all
Sold half of my soul
and now it's too late for you
[...]
Lord, you are my god and my shepherd
nothing more shall I want
Walk through the Abyss
into the Shadow of Death
Fear, there is no evil to fear now
for I know you are with me
My cup overflows
with my enemy's blood
I decay in the house of the Lord
forever, amen
Death will follow me
all the days of my life
I judge as my eyes see
I judge and I am just
for I speak of the Beast
that lives in all of us
