uninterrupted

I want moments of never-ending happiness. I want passion strong and destructive as the atomic bomb. I want attention through speech and eye contact. I want freedom of a slave. I want run in the rain, and make love when it snows. I want to hold hands long hours when nobody speaks and TV is off. I want peaceful beauty of the glowing moon. I want nothing to be in my way when I am on the way to you.

Enjoy the ride

I repeat it to myself everytime I feel angry about wasting my time: Life is very short and I should make the most of it regardless of what I feel in the present. Maybe I am angry, maybe I feel helpless and tired, but thinking about it, I know: I cannot stop now and give it up. I have to make my life happen right here and right now. Breathe in and out. Stop for a second. Think about the result, think about sunny days and lovely sea, smiling children and love-making... Better. Now, life is beautiful and worth-living, no matter what. Never forget that and enjoy the ride.

The best book ever written!

Some parts from the "Muri d'autore" by Lello Criscuolo:

Muro di Frosinone:
Le cose bella della vita:
o sono illegali
o sono immorali
o fanno ingrassare!!!

Beautiful things about life:
are either illegal,
immoral
or make you put on weight!!!

Bagno di una scuola di Milano:Il mondo e una torta di merda
la scuola e la fetta piu grossa

The world is a cake made of shit
school is the biggest part of this cake.

Stazione di Napoli:
Brutti negri e marocchini
tutti nei forni
by N.A.I.
Noi lavorare
noi non cattivi
noi non rubare

Those ugly black and Moroccan people
all of them in bakeries.

We to work
We not bad
We not steal

Muro di Bologna:

Loro tutti a rubare
E noi tutti a guardare
la prossima vola ricordiamolo
quando andiamo a votare

They all steal
and we all watch it
next time we have to remember it
when we go to vote

Muro di Ancona:

Che giornata stupenda!
Non ho visto ancora la mia ragazza

What a beautiful day!
I haven't seen my girlfriend yet

Stazione di Rimini:

Per la mia ex che amo tanto.
Chissa cosa fai
chissa se hai trovato amore
o anche tu come me
cerchi soltanto le avventure
perche non voui piu piangere.
by Vasco

For my ex who I love so much.
Who knows what you do
who knows if you have found love
or just like me
look only for adventures
because don't want to cry anymore.

Muro di Roma:

La vita e come uno specchio
se la sorridi, ti sorride

Life is like a mirror
if you smile at it, it smiles at you


Muro di Padova:

Io sono felice con ogni donna,
a condizione di non amarla

I am happy with every woman
on the condition of not loving her

Stazione di Napoli:

Non si puo odiare o amare
una donna se non dopo
averla capita

It is impossible to hate or love
a woman if not after you have
understood her

Nothing to expect until you fall into it - that is the new definition of loving

Its inevitable that when you open your heart to someone, anything can come inside, even something that you would have never expect.
A couple of days ago my good friend was going to have the most "fabulous and amazing" wedding ever. Everything was planned and prepared for her to go down the aisle telling the "I do" promise. She seemed the happiest girl in the whole world. And that was until 3 days before the wedding she got a call from her fiancee telling that the wedding had to be cancelled. I would not share all the personal details and the details of the tragedy that happened that day, but I must say that the wedding was cancelled due to very important personal facts of the negative character. My friend was in utter shock, but supported her fiancee and the wedding is now postponed to be in December. But that support which she has given him that day was priceless, something she had to do for his sake, and that was the kind of support she was never expecting to give.
My thought after her call to me was: are we all to pass through these painful moments for love's sake? Am I supposed to be waiting long hours at the airport for the plane that is 4 hours already, cause the company is on strike? Am I supposed to be not eating for 2 days and not sleeping for 48 hours to be with someone who might be worth it?
I am thinking: what are the things that we might do for the sake of love?
My expectations were different from I got.
When I opened my heart I would never expect a ghost knocking on my bedroom door and all those midnight rumours that make my hair stand. I would never expect waiting long hours on the bench in a foreign country not knowing of when and if he would ever come back and be free for me.
But in a way, arent we all sacrficing, arent we all putting up with things which previously we never thought about? And if we all do that, do we not call it, all in all, L O V E?
