19 March 2008 - Are you in love with "the love", with "the woman" or
with "falling in love" ? - I have been recently asked to answer, by a Mexican friend of mine. It is definitely a very clever question that does not sounds really new to me, as it's the direct descendent of the
universal issue of "love". Anyway, the question itself, is
indirectly pointing out that probably many people out there, can't
clearly determine the difference between being in love and being in love
with "the love". We may confuse in fact, the experience of a deep
feeling (love) towards the being-sphere of our partner, with the
potential feeling of love towards our ego-sphere that makes us feel we
are in love. To continue, I see a common chance of falling in love
with "the woman" rather than A woman. In some other cases, we might
being caught by a net where we want to repetitively experience the very
best out of a relationship: those moments when we fall in love. So
where do I stand? The-woman is a wonderful creature and she is the
mother of a-woman, indeed I love both of them.

March 2008 - Can't sleep - I am passing through weeks where I
am not getting more than 4 to 5 sleeping hours per day. I am hunted by
strange dreams where I see myself in different places in front of a
desk, submerged by a lot of papers which I have to read and sign, while
I am struggling because I can't find a way out of that room or a
backdoor. During the day I am always tired and restless, I feel that my
heart beat is affected by the accumulated stress plus I am getting very
annoying headaches and blurred vision. I can recall that some of the causes related to this
problem are my constant worries regarding the possibility of seeing a
brighter future for my projects, my dreams and also for the humanity
itself, followed by the awaiting of the technology which will allow me
to drastically improve my quality of life and general expectations.
28- February 2008 - The hard task of completing my traveling
handbook - To answer some of my friends who have been asking me
why is it so hard to write a manual of around 100 pages for someone like
me, who has been traveling full time for almost 5 years!? It would be
easier in fact to publish a simple traveling diary of these 5 years of
very personal happenings, whether the reader understand it or not,
whether it is boring or funny, it will remain a very subjective matter,
or better, a sort of autobiography of my last few years (which I am
willing to write it one day, but not now...). Instead, what I am trying
to create is to compress my extended traveling experience, put it out
of its very subjective view and think of it as if I was other people's
brain! That is because I am writing a short manual for people who wants
to travel, for some of you who wants to know more about its philosophy
and for those who need to learn very practical tips. Therefore here it
comes the hard task of elaborating all my data, select what to insert
and what not, what needs to be explained and what needs to be left for
the readers to dig. Some philosophical topics for example would deserve
to be discussed in another dedicated book, so it is yet difficult to cut
and concise some important chapters. However my objective is now to
write something that everyone would be interested to read and
acknowledge.

February 2008 - DVD dying and Blu-Ray taking its place -
After few months inspecting tech news related to the format wars
between hd-dvd, blu-ray and dvd, I can now say for sure that our new
concept of disc is called Blu-Ray, where you can save up to 50gb of data (while dvd
could only host 4gb), and watch high definition content. Well, I'm just
glad that the curve of high technology is getting much better, and soon
our virtual experiences will give light to our cloudy days.

January 2008 - Indonesian videos ready to rock - I have just
uploaded 200mb in 2 videos taken in Jakarta and Bali. They are now are
available in the videos page and of
course in the Indonesian travel
page. In each of these videos you will have the chance to listen to
a bit of Indonesian music. Special thanks again to Ayu , Arya and Mary.
17 January 2008 - This motherfucker on your left, is Hu
Jintao, the current dictator of China. Thanks to this piece of communist
shit, my internet access is limited, having many of the useful online resources
resources like the free encyclopedia Wikipedia and other numerous
websites with suspicious historical, political, scientific, erotic
content. Suspicious is, according to China, everything that is providing
free and uncontrolled information regarding the world outside china.
Dear president, come here and suck my cock, since I can't even get the
freedom of masturbating in front of the porn websites. Besides all the
killings he personally supervised since he got in to power, he is
actually considered the 3rd worst living dictator, right after North
Korea and Burma. Check this website which says " The communist party still controls
all media, and uses 40,000 internet security agents to monitor online
use. More than 200,000 Chinese are serving re-education sentences in
labor camps and China performs more than 4,000 executions every year,
more than all of the other nations of the world combined, and many of
them are for non-violent crimes".
13
January 2008 -The comic who shook Italy - (From
Beppegrillo's blog) It says: " 70% of Italians between 20 and 30
years of age is still living at home with Mom and Dad, condemned to an
increasingly lengthy and unproductive adolescence. Many of the most
intelligent ones are leaving Italy, just as many of their predecessors
did just a century ago". No comment, this is Italy, so poor of honest
politicians that people need to hear the truth from a comic! It's an
upside down country...Even the New York Times wrote and article and
posted a video regarding Beppe Grillo, read it here please and watch the video. And a warm vaffanculo to Italy from me.
11
January 2008 - The police state, the mafia state, welcome to Italy - my home country, a creepy place where to live, where the law is
still not equal for everyone, where there is no death penalty, life
sentence or at least serious consequences for people who murder other
people, for scum immigrants who rape teenagers, for drug dealers or
criminals who are trafficking tons of cocaine destined to the mafia and
the politicians, but hey, there is immediate jail and death execution
for someone who owns a Marijuana plant for personal use. (Watch the
video and read the original post at HERE). What a shame
again! That is just another example out of hundreds cases of injustice
in pizzaland. And nobody speaks up! Nobody except Beppegrillo (take a
look at his website in which he explains why Italy is so fucked up).
It's a disgusting criminal country, made of falsity, politic corruption
and weak police who serves the mafia. Moreover while people are being
murdered by the state, they keep on playing soccer. Fuck off. These
lines are dedicated to Mrs. Roberta Radici who lost her husband.
02 January - 2008 - New Year in Sanya - I just returned
from a quick trip to Sanya in Hainan Island, China. For those who still
ignore it, check the south east asia map and you'll see a kind of huge
island in front of Vietnam. They say it's the Chinese Hawaii...but I'd
say the hawaii made in China...although the place was fully packed with
Russians (wonder they can stand to sunbath at less than 20 degrees
celsius and swim in the very cold water). The place is mainly based on the russian tourism till the point that every shop's sign, after the chinese
name, has the russian translation and no english!! Moreover seeing
Chinese people speaking a some russian and zero english! Awful! By
the way, despite of the chilly climate, I swam every day, sun tan ,
built sand castles and watched the fireworks on the 31 night. Discovered
a nudist beach cramped only by old men and one solitary and scared white
russian teen girl in topless. Relaxing weekend.

December 2007 - Anti-commercial-festivities banner - In case
you didn't notice it yet, I added the usual christmas banner at the
bottom of the left column. Let's all be good because it's christmas!
Then go and spend more money for gifts, try to be less selfish for once,
go to church at least for christmas so you can feel less guilty, be more
generous, respectful, considering and donate to charity...just because
it's fucking christmas...cute bullshit...as that is the very fakest
attitude ever, and you know it, so I say, if you are able to do it for
few days, why don't you just do it always? If you know that is so good
to be good, just be less hypocrite and add some guts to your life, I say
be good all the time then, not just because some ghosts told you so. Not
because a fucking faggot of priest told you so. Not because that
pedophile of san joseph fucked in the ass that bitch of the virgin mary
who gave birth to that dork of jesus fucking christ. If for example you
want to give a present to your dearest friend, wouldn't you feel a slave
of someone who have to tell you when to buy that fucking gift or worse
when to try to be a better person!? So not when you really feel like? Or
do they make you feel like doing it when they want it? You really want
to show something awesome this new year? Be whatever you want to be
every day of your stupid life, without finding excuses or hiding beyond
obsolete traditions.

December 2007 - What happened in Bali - Just for those who were
wondering besides the bad news of my stolen belonging, if I have
anything interesting to tell about Bali and what have I been doing for 2 weeks on the island. The first good news is that I have learnt
how to surf ! (Well at least being able to stand on the table with
middle size waves and being able to turn and control the board a bit).
I'm sure spending my youth on the skateboard helped me a lot as in less
than 2 hours I was already very confident with the surf board. I
participated to an Hinduism ritual by bathing in a common pool and
drinking the "holy" water which was a very original experience
(You can see the pictures in the Indonesian travel page...). I drove
around the island with Arya's car searching for non commercialized
spots, and made a bunch of new friends. I did enjoy my time in Bali yes,
but I just don't understand why it's so overrated. Like, everyone is
talking paradise about it, but actually it's nothing special, meaning,
there is nothing you can't find in any other touristic destination. Is
it for the beach? mmm I remember myself swimming through plastic bags and
other garbage in Kuta and other famous beaches in bali. Is it for the waves?
And what about australia then? Is it because it's a very cheap place?
Come on, most of the places in south east asia are very cheap as well.
The food or the females? mmm I wouldn't be so sure... Honestly the whole
thing reminds me a bit about Thailand, same kind of tourists, same kind
of bitches, and a hell of smiley and friendly people all around.

December 2007 - Poem for my stolen laptop - My dearest laptop,
yesterday they took you away from me, they ran away depriving me even of
chance to say goodbye to you. I have never given you a name, but I will
never forget your unique soul, your stylish shape,..you see how
attractive you are? I just leave you alone for 5 minutes that someone
else couldn't resist the temptation of holding you in his hands. We
shared many adventures together, I found you in Taiwan and brought you
all the way to Hong Kong, England, Italy, Malaysia and Indonesia. We
travelled many places together and you never betrayed me, always ready
to catch the wireless internet band even from the most remote places,
always giving me the brightest 12" smile. I everyday took care of your
random access memory mounting the best components on the market. You
never left me alone by playing my favorite music and videos, never
forgot to advise me if you were ill, so I could get the best anti virus
for you. You were witness of everything I wrote to my friends, my loves,
my family and most important to myself. You were my missing genius,
always ready to support me in every operation that was too tough for
myself alone. You were never late at any appointment, with your dual
core speed you were always there before me. Now that you are gone, I
know you will do you best to protect my data with your awesome security
systems, but don't worry, If they hack you, I will not blame you, I know
you fought until you could, loyal and willing to serve your duty till
the end.
21 November 2007 - 48h Stopover in Jakarta -Indonesia, my 34th country visited. First impression, the international airport is a very old built, probably in the '70ies. People are starring
at me while in the bus to the city center, they are used to see white
men traveling with private transports. The city is one of the most
polluted I've ever been to. Taken a trip to the old part of jakarta, the
poorest area, it looks
like Africa although the people are definitely much more kind. The
modern jakarta seem to be in war state: security guards with loaded
guns and fingers ready on the trigger every corner, you must go
through metal detector and bag scanners/checks before entering any
building. It's also dirty and hell dusty everywhere.

November 2007 - I ended my Malaysian visit with another old
friend reunion, by meeting again Krish who is temporary living in Penang
Island, north of Malaysia. We attended some of gatherings with few
traveler communities, swim, walk around the creepy cemetery, driving
around the city with his old beetle vintage car, man oh man talking
about girls which i missed since long time. I also had the chance to
meet very friendly people, and all this made me realize once again that
Malaysia is not Kuala Lumpur. Now I have to leave this country, my visa
is expired and I have other adventures waiting for me. [In the picture,
me and Krish at the 31th floor of his condo, with a great night view]
11
November 2007 : Few website features just implemented. If you
didn't notice it yet, I added a Wikipedia search box, which I consider a
very practical, useful, honest and neutral source for every kind of
information, simply the best encyclopedia you could find out there,
moreover it's free! Knowledge rules! As second, I got a certificate from
McAfee (the biggest anti-virus software company) which ensures that
Nosham.com is tested and resulted safe: no viruses, no adware and
spyware, all its contents and files to download are 100% clean. As third
I added a clock, which indicates my actual time depending by where I am
located. This useful infotool could remind you to wonder what Alan
Rooster could be doing in a particular time of the day. Fourth, just a
small change to the date format, from now on I will use the name of the
month instead of the numbers. That's it for today. Enjoy.

Novermber 2007
Traveling news revealed: Here are my current travel plans for
the next 2 months. On the 12th of November I will be off to Penang Pulau,
a big island located in the north of Malaysia, as I am visiting a dear
friend of mine, Krish, who also came to see mee in Milan years back.
Staying one week at his place, chill out while applying for 60days visa
to Indonesia. From Penang (Malaysia) not later than the 20th November
(day in which my malaysian visa expires) I will take an overnight boat
to Medan (indonesia), crossing the strait of Melacca. Once in Medan I
will fly right away via low-cost to Jakarta (Indonesia) , as I want to
save the adventure in the untouched Sumatra Island for another time with
a great expedition and adventure. I would stop in Jakarta for few days,
I believe there's nothing much to see in another crowded south east
asian capital. And finally I will fly to Bali, the very famous place
everyone is talking about, maybe surfing, eventually getting back to my beloved
beach life. OK you have my agenda now, if anyone was planning to
get rid of Alan Rooster once for all, that's his call.
01/11/07 Meet Alan Rooster!

The trip to Klang Port: It deserves at least a short note, my
trip to the small fishing village with the purpose of visiting my
friend Bun. I just found by chance his mobile number in my contact file
of Malaysia, I didnt even remember he left me his telephone number. So I
immediately called to inform him that i was in his country...a hour
later I was on a train heading to his place to have dinner. I felt some
kind of happiness mixed with love, I was excited...last time I saw him
it was over one year ago in Maldives, he was working there on a
temporary project, but we spent a lot of time together and he also took
part (as second cameraman) at my shooting for the short film "I
still believe in paradise" . When I left the island, I didn't think
I was going to see him again. It's the happiness from the surprise I got
today and for meeting old friends after years, that keeps me alive.
The world is small for me, but...
09/10/07
Very long delay expected for the video project against the mobile
phones. The reason, lack of equipment and volunteers. I underestimated the
difficulty of some clips related to the environment I wanted to shoot in.
I couldn't
film a proper lightcandle scene with a 1ccd camera, couldn't properly
edit those mpg outputted by my shitty t20 digital camera, couldn't find
proper volunteers to help me with the project nor right actors and
voices. I couldn't find good filming locations and angles. I really put
half myself into it, but for the moment I'm stuck once again. Anyway if
you are curious to see what I have produced so far, which is only 18 seconds of film,
here is the link to download it (right click
HERE and save target as...). These are the credits: Voice:
Marcela
from Brazil, cast: Alan Rooster , Jessica from Malaysia, Camera 2:
Kelly
"little vampire" , video editing: Alan Rooster. Anyway in case you hear
from someone with a decent 16:9 videocamera at 3ccd let me know.
01/10/07
150,000 words for 15$. a good purchase, a nice dictionary,
comparable to the concise Oxford dictionary. I'm very satisfied as I
recently got a book by Sigmund Freud (From A to Z) where I encountered
difficulties with quite lot of words I couldn't understand. Now, with
the help of this wonderful dictionary, the english language will have
less secrets to me. I hope to improve my personal vocabulary as soon as
possible to delight you with more appropriate sentences and colorful
descriptions. 39.99 Malaysian RG (around 14$) is not a bad price
for such extended dictionary. Back to europe I would have certainly paid
something like this at least 39.99 Euro, and that sucks as the very
basic knowledge should be sold for very affordable price.
19/09/07 I can't video edit.
Disappointed to announce that I will not be able to release new videos
any time soon. I was about to start editing my video project of a
commercial, when I got fucked by some lazy people in the IT industry.
I'm so fucking pissed off with Adobe , Compaq, ATI and AMD...you all
fuck off... Ati and Amd are the manufacturers of my damn video card (mainboard
integrated) Xpress 200m, that is unfortunately not 100% compatible with
Adobe Premiere Pro (my video editing software) and my actual
configuration (2gb ram and Win Vista). ATI still didn't release stable
drivers for my videocard, so I have to be fucking stuck because of them,
while waiting for a new version of the application drivers that will
hopefully fix the issue.
14/09/07
Granpa's last ride! Yesterday
night I remembered that from time to time in my life,
out of my pessimism, i still can enjoy some really good laughs. I
must have forgotten about how nice it is to laugh till the point in which I am almost crying, my stomach is contracting so hardly
that I could barely stand and I am forced to
bend down or at times even to lay on the ground. Moreover it seems that I cannot really control it, I am
suddenly taken by those laughing attacks when I less expect it, even
after several minutes from the cause or after days
and week with laugh-flashbacks. It didn't
happen many times in my life, but the few I can recall, it was always
when me and another buddy were taking joke of
the behavior in someone else: not really about
that person itself but by putting
them in the middle of a certain comic
and kind of imaginary situation. Anyway
yesterday was the turn of Jessica's uncle, an old,
blind and deaf man who was driving his car like crazy, while taking
the family out for dinner. The spark that lightened
up the fun was that judging by his behavior, it could have been a sort of
his "last drive"... Anyway the motive is not so important, but the
good thing is that made us laugh, and after
that, I felt really good, really really good.
The last time I felt that way it was probably in Canary Islands (2003).
By the way what's the moral of the story? Being too serious, dramatic and
thoughtful sometimes takes away the joy of living with stupid little
things...
07/09/07
Jessica's first video editing experiment: Today Jessica
released her first video editing test with the use of windows movie
maker software. The subject is our memorable time in Italy during the
month of July 07. It's a pictures slideshow with some special effects and
a cool soundtrack. It's a very simple but as well very meaningful for
us. Thanks a lot for your nice edit full of love and congratulations for completing your first
project! Click

Getting fucking fried drunk with Mr.Lobster! (A scatafasciarci di Besh)
To be coherent with the theme I am writing this while tipsy, so
dont pay too much attention at my ups and downs. It has been a week
that Mr. Lobster Beshato is visiting me almost every day so we can drink
together. Sorry I must ve miswritten, the objective was not only of
drinking together but mainly getting drunk together. Yea which is
probably a little less sad than doing the same thing alone but
that's not the point...so as we don't have any other place where to go, we sit in the car along with some music,
opening
packs of beer like peanuts, and smoking cigs until we can't stand up. We
are always up to talk about everything, using the worst vocabulary
accompanied by touch ups of juicy blasphemies and cruel swearing. Now
ask me why, or tell us we are a couple of jerks. Obviously if two
persons with quite extraordinary brains were wasting time with that
crap, they must ve had a fucking gooood reason to turn out that miserable!
Actually first of all it is just another
way to release the stress and we are reeeally that stressed out, and for second, most important, it's because we
are fucking unhappy and tired of living. Yea it's the same fucking old
story but unfortunately we couldn't bring you any better news so far.
It's because we cant accept to waste our life like
yours, like millions of other poor sheep like u, so that we are ready to face
the consequences of trying to get out of the box. It's either we have to
pass by being alcoholic or walking over a building ledge, anyway u wouldnt
understand , but trust me, we had to. Even Alan Rooster have to
step in the valley of the low willing powers path for later on, getting out stronger than
before. So I had to get fucking dead drunk to later on ask myself: what
the fuck was I thinking? And again you wont understand this part. But
then I will stand up, jump from the bottom towards the end of the black
hole, get on that fucking plane, improve my way of traveling
light, learn the basics of chinese in 48hours, finish my
traveling handbook, buying a digital camera, shooting a commercial
against the mobile telephony , teaching Jessica how to swim, saying hi
dude
to Krish and sweating the hell out of me in in south east asia. Ok we
pulled a
nice tima brathar, bella Lobster, PORCO DI DIO tutto beshato al
beshbuster. goodbye and see u at the scatafascio.

Ticket bought! 21 August 2007 I will be heading to Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia stopping over in Frankfurt and Bahrain, which is close
to Iran. Priced 393$, the ticket it's incredibly cheap considering that we are
running through a peak season. The flight company is Gulf Air, based somewhere in Saudi Arabia
but although is pretty scary for me traveling with an arab airline and
above all passing by a war zone, I decided to try at least once but
hopefully not the last. Looking up at
Wikipedia, I found
out that Gulf Air only had one episode of accident due to terrorism, and
another one for unknown cause, when apparently one of the engines took
fire so they went for an emergency landing, missed it and fell in the
gulf sea, no one survived. I'm just trying to scare myself to death so
in case I make it to destination I will feel happy for few seconds. [In
the picture the Airbus A320 used by the company for middle range
flights. It really reminds me a war airplane rather than a civil one]

I had a dream and I wrote it down. This is
not an actual news but I forgot to post it few months ago so here It
comes better in late than never. It was a cold night of April, in
Guangzhou, China, I was sleeping
at Bruno's place, on
a very bone crashing single couch, when I suddenly woke up
in the very early morning , probably around 6 or so, with still frames
of a dream in my mind and while recalling it,
strangely, I could remember every single
detail of it. I realized I had to
take note of it. So I ran to find a pen and a piece of paper and
with my heart still beating fast for the emotion, I wrote down
everything I could picture in my memory: "I am
piloting a small rocket with a super hi-tech cockpit in shining and
refined silver. While flying over a futuristic metropolis I can't focus
if I am chasing or chased by someone , but accelerating over incredible
speeds I try to zig-zag through the
skyscrapers. I'm afraid to hit one of the buildings
so I insert the automatic pilot while searching possible alternative
escapes on the computer panel. There is a general failure and I have to
switch to the manual pilot again; after a
curve a bridge appears in front of me
and in a matter of less than a second I had to pull the cloche
down with all my strength for trying to pass over it.
The top cable of the bridge brush against the
fuselage and cause a damage to the navigation system: the computers are
alarming like crazy and due to abrupt maneuver my jet is losing
control. I cant get the flaps regulated to
regain stability and after
avoiding a possible second collision on a
building I find myself in panic searching through all
the flying manuals while checking those millions of gauges and keeping
an eye on the road. I manage to insert
a sort of mach4 awesome speed
that pushes me against the seat and not even being
able to move. I am paralyzed and I don't know for how long I can stand
the acceleration-force and I feel that I can't breath anymore. After
loosing the senses I regain consciousness when the automatic
pilot is slowing down my course and lands on a strange place, all
surrounded by white fog. I open the window of my pod, and
I jump out standing on my own feet,
I cant believe I'm still in one piece. I see the entrance of a
labyrinth, and a butler who is coming towards
me, welcoming, bending while opening the door and indicating the way to
follow. The walls are in
white but the texture is old and it looks like a wine
cellar. Don't know how but I am facing 269 questions to access a
secret area of the city. I
am standing in front of some devices
which are controlling the gates of the labyrinth are a lot more antiquated than the actual times, and there are
red and green lights which are turning on
depending by if I
answer the question correctly or not. I'm
sweating while proceeding and answering all the questions.
I get to solve intelligence and logic puzzles, and each time I answer a
question correctly the green light is signaling the
way clear and I can proceed
towards the next gate. I every time hesitate to push the
answer button because no errors are allowed. I'm
scared to death to face 269 questions
when I cant even fail 1. So when I get to the
149 which was questioning some historical detail regarding the
colonization of Singapore,.."...I woke up and
really felt like my mind was tired after hours of answering hundreds of
quiz and still sweating the hell out of me. Well
don't exactly know what that means but It's interesting the thing that I
remember so many details about it! Oh and by the way it looked like that
the cockpit of the jet was similar to the one in the movie "Flight
of the navigator" , a 1986 film that I saw in 1992.

Last 2 videos of my '07 Asian trip are now online.
Some nice images of Hong Kong and Macau took place in my video's
collection. Even if this time it's not much about adventures and unusual
stuff, still would be nice to check out the normal tourist paths. Go for
the videos directory
2/07/07 The missing portrait. This morning I went downstairs to check my mailbox and I found
a letter with Chinese stamps, I slowly and curiously opened it,
discovering a greeting paper with a drawing attached in the middle. I
stayed without words for several seconds before feeling something that
made me first smile and then turning in to something sad. I am sad of
seeing memories of those moments which will never come back, I am sad
because I will never be able to live those particular sensations
anymore, I am sad because I will never be with her again, on that exact
day, in that position, in that frame, in that place. Seeing that
portrait remembers me how nice we were together no matter it was a good
or a bad moment. It's too sad to know that everything is lost, lost in
the wheel of time. My literature teacher impressed me once, at the
middle school during one of his probably off topic lessons while
explaining the most obvious but forgotten and given-for-granted concept
about the time:" You know kids that this moment, this second, when it's
passed, it's gone, and we will never be able to live it again...". I was
shocked at that time, knowing that I couldn't get back the happiest moments of my life, knowing that I
should have chosen everything with extreme attention because there were
no second passes. For Alan Rooster as well, there are no turning back, no
rewinds , only thousands of bouncing memories trapped in a mind. Life sucks
for the 1001th reason: we don't own any damn remote control that is
capable of making us hold on to a good feeling as long as we want, it's
always dashing away, we can chase it but we can't catch it, no matter
what we try, sooner or later it will be gone, forever, becoming a gray
portrait of lost happiness...

Going back to the third world: Let's face it one more time, I
need to pay a visit to the third world once again...soon I'll have to go
back due to multiple reasons, one of them is economical and the other
one is health related. It wont take too long, but just the idea of going
home, it disgusts me! Going back to a place which is DEAD, a country for
old people, fossils, mafia and garbage. A place where you have to wait
the double amount of the time than normal, before getting the last
technology, a place where they still use paper for the public transport
tickets, where you pay millions of taxes for bullshit, you pay for the
internet. A place where you find aggressive people playing mafia
everywhere. A place where you get robbed and raped by immigrants. A
place where the police is a fucking pussy cause they are ready to jump
with 10 policemen on a small pickpocket thief and right after placing
big titles on the newspaper, but when it's really the time to show off
their guts against some serious criminals , they mysteriously disappear.
A place where they still talk about communism , fascism, soccer
and fashion... YOU SUCK. The government is
broke, and you pay 3$ for a 1 damn liter of gasoline. So let's go back
to the old but successful way: the strong arm : please may someone
invade, take over this dead state to make it a better place. Come on all
together , " Heal Italy , make it a better place , for you and for me
and the entire human race, there are ...people dying , and if you care
enough for their living , make a better place for you and for me..." And
now go to have your aperitif and FUCK OFF.

Zombie nation...? Today once again, here in Kaohsiung I
saw two local chicks at the beach who came down holding umbrellas,
wearing a pair of long gloves and a foulard that was covering all their
face except the eyes. You have to know that in Asia it is widely common
to see females using umbrellas to protect themselves not only from the
rain but also from the sun rays. Or rather: it is more used for
the sun rays than for the rain... But let's get back for one moment to
what I've studied in schoolbooks: during the old times, when the
nobility and some other high classes had to set a difference between who
had "miserable" jobs like farmers or outdoor workers (which were
obviously getting a tan due to their frequent exposure to the sun) and
those who , like the noble class, had the privilege not to work. Thus,
the aristocratic class was really afraid of getting some dark color on
their skin , because it could have damaged their reputation or worse
perhaps be mistaken for a cropper. That was understandable , it was like
hundreds years ago and they were really enforced to follow some strict
rules coming from their rigid and conservative families. Nowadays in
Asia they follow the same principle with a nice plus of being fucked up
by the fashion or whatever they play on M fucking TV or any commercial,
with the result that being white is equal of being beautiful, especially
for females. And incredibly in my country, in Europe, people who are tan
are considered healthy beautiful and rich ! Yes because in Europe
the weather generally sucks, it's damn cold, so only people who are rich
can afford to travel to far places in the winter and be tanned all year
round. Not only that but you can see many spa centers where to get
artificial uvas, like tanning beds , sprays etc. As for me, I would
prefer going out with a lady who has a nice color , healthy and not pale
like a cadaver: it looks sick to me, but hey this is only my personal
opinion... instead, now I want you to tell me what the fuck is going on
, I don't even know if it's more dumb to pay 15$ to get 10 minutes of
artificial sun or going around patched like a mummy...you both suck ,
dorks. Oh and I'm not finished for today , do you think all that is just
a coincidence ? No way! fools, obviously if you live in a sunny place
they must find a way to get some bucks out of it , brainwashing you so
you can spend money on beauty products whitening creams and shit like
that , and the other way around of course if you live in a cloudy place
, they will still turn the coin on the other side ! Clever them and
asshole you, my dear ladies.

New clip added!
I've recently received many messages from people who cannot wait to
watch the videos I took in China, Guangzhou , but unfortunately due to
the multitude of mixed clip I recorded, I do not really have the time to
work on it for the moment . And I'm also busy at Kaohsiung beach,
getting a wonderful tan. Probably I will start my editing once back
home, but take this pill in the meanwhile : a short clip shot in Taipei
, Taiwan . Get it in the video page under miscellanea...continue

Windoze Vista , finally a real OS ! I
will spend few lines over those fools who are still thinking that the
new operating system by microsoft , Vista, is full of hidden and
dangerous strings which are blocking and preventing any attempt of using
a pirated software or dvd. Even more fools are thinking that Vista is
not safe and full of bugs , when is actually the other way around: let
me tell you it's a big bullshit , Windows Xp my dears is a 6 year old
o.s., so it basically sucks at this time, compared to the new Vista that
is 10 times more stable , reliable and secure . I am running a
bittorrent so I everyday download some pirate and illegal software which
is absolutely not giving me any trouble. There are no such idiot patches
blocking me on playing dvd copies, nothing , really , to me it's
absolutely the first decent o.s. released by microsoft after the great
times of the DOS 6.22. It has always been hard to change the mind of
those who are stuck in their absurd beliefs that tell them every
software upgrade is to be considered garbage or even worse trying to
convince the others with lies on conspiracies by microsoft who might be
spying through all our files to check if someone is using illegal mp3 or
stuff. Fuck off , Im not drinking it. Every year we are passing all over
again on the same story: when win98 came out they were saying that win95
was still better , but after some months they realized the opposite so
they shouted their mouths. After it was time for windows xp to take over
win98 but no , they were saying win98 was still more stable than xp ,
but again after some months they had realized the opposite. And now ,
Vista is replacing xp , indeed once again I bet there are fuckheads who
will find millions of excuses not to upgrade when the technical tests
are talking more than cleary on what is the wisest choice right now.

Had upgraded my multitasking life : managed to sell my 2 years
old laptop in China and so I bought a new one just today in Kaohsiung at
computer street, Taiwan. For a very cheap price I got a wonderful Compaq
Presario B1966 powered by a Centrino 2 Dual Core 64 bit cpu, 2 Gb of
ram, ati 200m graphic , 120 Hd and of course a 12.1" screen for around
1.70kg of weight!! A super ultra portable and powerful notebook for only
a thousand dollars , brand new, made in Taiwan. I am fully satisfied
with my purchase and really happy to take full advantage of a
system which will allow me to access over faster video editing and a
Vista operating system.
