Oh well... Positive highlights: I met a friend haven't seen in ages, probably somebody that will fit the community, you'd like her, the daughter of Pina, remember Gina & Pina's adventure.... And she blogs too www.r-esistere.blogspot.com I bought a new pair of shoes. I read the last book of Jostein Gaardner : The orange Girl. I cried.. . weeped ( is it written like that.. I don't really think so!)
The rest, uhm it was cr@p.
Exactly can I know what's fucking wrong with travellers and their obsession with mobiles, blackberries and alike. In the journey from the gate to the plane, is it realistic that every single individual is shouting telling the entire story of his trip ( his is appropriate as the ratio woman to men is 1 to 50 ) while frantically running his fingers up and down the side of the CraCKberry.. ( if only it could crack in their a$$). So fuking annoying... and the earpiece???
If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 Soldiers.
The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. Is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period.
That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.
Conclusion: The U.S. Should pull out of Washington.

Yes it took forever to take a decision 2 years ago and well I'm now stack with the results without consolation.
**Note to self** If you really need to ask lots of people before you come up with a decision, remember it's not the right one for you and it might change your perception of life forever.
Probably the best sentence I ever heard in my life is: "Sometimes you shouldn't try something because it could be so good that you can't do without it"
Since the night I assembled the pomegrate made from Foppa Pedretti in that lost house in Alba, I'm being living in a curse made by myself. You will want to live in a community of people, all in one building. Probably that's my destiny.
You can't rewind, no... only when you are at Uni in a crazy night with your uttermost soulmates, you can think you can rewind your life, rewind your decisions, in real life, in the grown up world, you can't.
The person that invented the sentence is no longer with us and I won't be able to ask anymore oh I'd like to meet you again, as you are gone, nonetheless you have to continue to live.
It could be, after all, that we live in a Matrix, totally possible, I'm a believer of it.
Oh well... back to square one, again & again, hope probably not for me but for my mum, [because indoubtouly after a few moments of turbation, my friends will know], that I'll continue to have the strenght to reassemble and restart. Still have to clarify with myself why, but why is problably one of the question I'll never answer. Funny that all the questions start for why. It's late I should go to sleep as in 3 1/2 hours need to get up & it'll be sooner that I forsee.
Unknown a year ago, São Paulo's Cansei de Ser Sexy have become one of the world's hottest new indie bands. Peter Culshaw offers 10 reasons why
1 The band's name. Cansei de Ser Sexy means "Tired of Being Sexy", and must be one of the best ever.
2 Their charismatic lead singer, christened Luisa Matsuita, glories in the stage name Lovefoxxx (love those three "x"s) and is a half-Japanese 22-year-old from São Paulo who loves to stage-dive into the audience at any opportunity. Despite the outrageous front, there's a slight vulnerability there too – as with all great pop stars.
3 They inhabit a fertile territory somewhere between the DIY subversiveness of punk, the retro-electro of Kraftwerk and the girl-gang mentality of All Saints or the Spice Girls (the band consists of five girls and a male drummer, producer Adriano Cintra).
4 Whereas most indie groups (especially in the world of "emo") and most female singer-songwriters have a tendency to moan endlessly, CSS are a life-affirming, whinge-free zone. When most bands and performers get on stage what they are projecting is: "Please love me – I'm really likeable and cool." But, like all the best artists, CSS give the impression that they don't give a damn what you think.
5 They represent something hopeful for pop music. A few years ago, new young bands from places outside Europe and the US tended to be copyists, doing usually second-rate rock or hip-hop, whereas they way CSS have packaged their influences is a breath of fresh air and genuinely original.
6 One test of a great band (Nirvana, Sex Pistols, the Smiths and Culture Club spring to mind) is that when you first see them you think, "I cannot believe I've just seen what I've seen." That was the way I felt when I saw them in a small club in São Paulo. Their debut album, while hugely pleasurable, does not quite capture the spontaneous wild rush of their live shows – but they're touring the UK right now.
7 Very few major bands are actually sexy (U2, Coldplay? I think not). CSS, despite the name, are – and with their own unconventional style, rather than the rather desperate, manufactured sexiness of a Christina Aguilera or Britney Spears.
8 The way they mangle the English language with their Brazilian accents is charming. Everyone can sing along: "You're so talented I'm in love / Let's make love and listen to death from above."
9 They are very modern in that, like British bands such as Arctic Monkeys, they built a significant fan base on websites like Tramavirtual and MySpace before releasing a record. The group also take on modern celebrity mania in songs such as Meeting Paris Hilton, which, like many of their creations, has a perfectly formed, insidiously catchy chorus worthy of a Tamla Motown single (except, being modern, the lyrics are along the lines of "The bitch said 'Yeah' ").
10 They are clever without being self-consciously experimental, and enjoyably obnoxious with an impeccable pop sensibility. They are, frankly, unstoppable.

Will I or will I get even more confused. We'll see.. In the meantime I discovered how to pause Pacman, so when I play at work ( & thanks Google for it.. that's the only game not blocked!) and the phone ring I can pause my game.. Mind you, still can't record the scores.. so if ever managed to go on the list, it'll be frustrating.. Anyhow... How many hours should a day have to be able to fit everything in? And then I get invited to this... an old friend. Anybody fancies Paris ??
The Daily Grinder I love blogging because it's like therapy. I can write about anything and everything that happens to me - from the food I ate to what I was doing when I heard the latest 'breaking news'. Being able to communicate with my friends (online and/or real life) through my blog is important to me.
As I'm only 3.6kg away from having my tattoo, I was considering something like this.The symbol of my controversial sign. Sxg.. will you draw your version of it. I'd like 2 women and something sexier than the picture.
A female passenger traveling through the Pittsburgh airport found out the hard way that her choice of personal ornamentation was not allowed to fly the friendly skies. She was forced to remove the offending nipple enhancements in a ladies restroom before being allowed through security. I can’t tell you how many times I have thought of holding up a plane and diverting it to some foreign land merely by flashing my breasts. Ah, the power of the nipple
The world's largest religious monument A completely realised microcosm of the Hindu universe, culminating in the five peaks of Mount MeruArchitectural masterpiece in fine proportions and rich in detail; the apogee of classiacal Khmer construction. Angor Wat the "the city that became a pagoda" was not only the grandest and most sublime of the Khmer temples, but also a city in its own right. It was built in the 12th century and it's dedicated to Vishnu.
Somebody really has a remote control for my life. As today work wasn't as shit as usual, as I actually found somebody in the world which happen to be less diplomatic than me... well 2 events which have a remarkable low probability, together with actually smiling at work... well somebody had to punish me. Left work early only to find out that my mum is ill again and we gonna go through the saga pain bollox and the rest again and again, she won't make it here for Xmas, so flight, weekend to Paris that she so wanted and all the rest are not gonna happen anymore. But that wasn't enough because some fucker also decided to steal the seat of my bike.. so had also to walk around half London and 3 bike shops to find the right size tube and a seat. I'll will keep posting now some more picty about Cambodia, so if that bores you I don't care, this is my blog, my shit life and posting pictures might have some calming effect on me ( seriously doubt it, because probably blogger won't even let me upload them)
The history of Angkor begins in the 9th century, when the Young King Jayavarman II declared himself the supreme sovereign and established his capital in the Kulen Mountains.
