Nothing has changed; by now just some new items collected. Sometimes I happen to love how life is for its great ability of looking like an outstanding LucasArts adventure game.

You don't stop collecting tools here, learning something there and using everything to solve all sorts of puzzles that cross your way. I can say I'm happy now, aiming at being an experienced, calm and wise old man one day.

I'm a nice guy and I'm glad to be so. I'm not afraid of making mistakes. I'm sure he wasn't.

Just finished the Half-Blood book. Finally I can feel what most Harry Potter's readers all over the world feel when they finish reading the last book available, itching to put their hands on the next one just as it's released! I also feel how good it is to be able to give my opinions to other readers having read exactly the same stuff all of them have read!

More than ever this is absolutely the most outstanding stuff I have ever read in the last 21 years!

Have a nice week.

No time for cool blogging lately

I wish I could write something interesting here at least twice a week. I wish I could post some cool pictures, I wish I could show you the 2006 version of my bedroom and my brand new drum setup. I wish I had more time for stuff that matters.

New year, new dreams, more working, more time to spend with The girl, more friends going abroad, old nightmares, two come to my mind at the moment (actually, "nightmare" is a word stronger than it deserves): (1) where are my friends? (2) will I ever be able to turn my musician dreams real again?

First of all, [Du], forget about that post a couple weeks ago. Some things not always work as we want them to. This can be awful sometimes but on the other hand this can also be great. Who would say I'd have so much fun playing with Giulie and the Ibanez-metal guys? Who would imagine they can play YYZ, The Spirit of the Radio and Tom Sawyer by rote?

I'll have a band. Dunno who, dunno when, let's just follow the general advice: improve you technique, study your instrument as much as you can, become a better player and the band will come up naturally. It didn't work with Se7ima, the guys I was talking about last month, too many problems to list here. Bad for them, a little disappointing for me. It doesn't matter, let's face it, it didn't have to be with them. This case reminded me of the two times when I've been a madrich at CIP: when Duda called me I almost say "no". And it turned out as my best experience as a madrich. Six months later, when Nani called me, I surely answered "yes" and what I thought would be the best experience ever, turned out as my biggest trauma in this area. Could have been worse had I not have an excellent relationship with most of the chanichim.

No Se7ima shirt for 2006. No "joining an existing date" anymore. Let's start from the beginning, again, investing my coins first on myself, second on Giulie's Band, where things flow much more comfortably. This is what I have to say about music. The illustrative part I show you later: my new drum setup, as I said, with my new Sabian AA Thin Crash 14" and my new Zildjian Avedis Paper Thin Crash 17"!! They certainly rule a lot!!

Friends? Well, not much to declare. One of the best I ever met went to Australia 2 years ago. 2006 will bring me a deja vu sending out to Australia another one of the bests.

Life's funny. You're always looking for something. You find it, life takes what you had before, shows that you need other stuff and that what you once found absolutely necessary is not enough anymore. It's a pity I can't buy really good friends at the supermarket. If there's not much I can do about it, let's just ignore the fact, keep taking care of my stuff and keep an eye open for opportunities. It's a phase, tomorrow another will come.

Goals for 2006: (1) be a better musician, as good as I'd like to; (2) be a better programmer, as good as I'd like to; (3) take care of what's important for me; keep my eyes wide open for I don't like missing great opportunities.

That's it, happy new year, I'll try to keep in touch (mainly because I know I'll get disappointed when I come back here for my auto-archaeology a few years from now and find nothing interesting).

Oh, in time, let's just remember what you learned and register here that some bitches should go fuck themselves, far, far away from myself...
