Howling

No one gave me chances but I kept on moving on.
Everyone said the mission was a failure at the very start but for me it was the only goal.
No one believed in success, to tell the truth even me, but I had to try achieving it.
Now from midnight to the dawn I howl to the moon. Auuuuu!

If I were to cut my way through to you, through 100 acres of forest, I would ask for an axe in this moment.
If I were to descend into the Maelstrom to seek you out from the depth of sea, I wouldn't hesitate to do it.
If I were to trespass the 7 circles of Dante's hell only to see your smile, I would start the journey right away.

But now from midnight to the dawn I howl to the moon.

Mansion on the Hill

The street is full of things that escape our attention, the things that are simply beautiful.
If you stop for a while and stare at the leaves falling from the trees and find yourself in the middle of them, passing through them, like under the waterfalls, you can actually deceive yourself and imagine being one of them. And it won't be far from the truth. Us, like leaves from a tree, mature and when the time comes are ready to be thrown on our own paths. First, falling to the bottom, some stay there for longer, but some rise immediately and are pushed by the wind to another corner of the world. And they can feel free and feel their ageing, and their being fragile. And then we can sit and listen to the Mansion on the Hill... 
But don't get too overwhelmed by the beauty and by the feeling of the sublime. Just watch out for the heart, it is also fragile and too many beautiful things and people can make it way way too sensitive and in the end you could end dispersed by the different forms of beauty and become one of them forever...and not return to your human, fallible form in order to express the beauty to others who miss to see it.

Xurros


Eating xurros con xocolate on Passeig de Sant Joan strengthen my senses to observe what was still to be seen in Barcelona. As I have had almost nothing that day I decided to visit one of the confectioneries on my way back from Sagrada Familia and one more time taste xurros from the local confiteria.
Packed in a grey paper, equipped in a cup of warm and thick chocolate I sat near the shop on the bank and indulged in eating finger-like xurros...
Actually I wanted to have them covered in chocolate. I tried to explain it to the man selling dulces but in fact he didn't have them already covered with chocolate. He served me xurros and a cup of chocolate to satisfy my palate. I was so hungry that I handed him couple of dimes and said 'Muchas gracias' to this he said 'Gracias, senor' and all xurros were mine! Bueno!
Hungry as a perro I devoured xurros quickly but before that I managed to make a photo of them, there on Passeig de Sant Joan, eating them, cherishing every bite and satisfying my stomach...

Monday smile

I like to see you smiling
It's all I need on Monday night
I know you're gonna drive me
At the exact right speed into the light.

The Yello's song was a good start to express what I felt on Monday.
Seeing her smiling gave me more radiation than two-week holidays on the Sun. 1, 2, 3, maybe 4 seconds of that smile will stay in my memory more than for a while, in fact I am sure it will stay for ever as a beautiful association with the person. And no one can erase it, no one can buy it - it's just happened and it floats in the air, the air of unexpected surprises.
It was a perfect timing - the skin of my face hung on the cheek bones, supported only by the glasses that pinned my sad look to the nose. Even the voice gave my away and sealed my tristesse. But having approached her, all the colours of light sprang forth and hit me with their warmness and natural beauty. Mesmerized I yielded to the charm of the unexpected smile. It was stronger than a cannon ball, more powerful than an atom bomb.

Show me the way to drive
I'm on the highway of love to dive
Into the world above
We're gonna hit the star of love

Il nome della pancia

Sunday brought new thoughts about the masculine and feminine topics. I'll try to cover them in short. But first...
There are three rules of granting flowers to a girl:
1. Always, I say, ALWAYS give flowers to girls and never expect something in return.
2. When selecting flowers be careful to choose only those that match the colour of your shirt.
3. Always choose a girl that is beautiful or at least pretty. DON'T give flowers to an ugly girl. It simply doesn't go together. Plus a beautiful girl makes a challenge and if you give flowers to an ugly one it will be interpreted as a joke or a sheer mockery.

Sunday started slow as usual. Slow to eat, slow to dress, too slow to move outside the city. The velocity of my actions stopped at 7km/h. I needed some adrenaline to pump into my veins. The best option would be to meet a girl who can turn you on so your mind rolls over and over like dirty clothes in the washing machine.
I needed the spin. I needed my "intellectual massage" like a drug addict needs his portion of opiates.
I had to act fast. First, to go out somewhere, anywhere but not staying alone. I chose the library which is the meeting point in the middle of Sunday when nothing really happens in the city.
Over there I was browsing the internet lamely when I saw someone sending me a short chat message. Who the hell was it? It appeared to be the last person I suspected to talk to me through an online messenger. It was the girl with a nice belly. Let's call her the Belly Girl from now on.
That "messenger surprise" provided me the first doze of adrenaline into my veins. My mind felt stimulated and I needed more. So I answer her back, and she wrote more, so I answered once again, and again she wrote to me, so again I replied. This could only end in meeting together, as there is limit to every word and personal contact is still much appreciated than e-contact.
The second pump of adrenaline was to see two girls coming to our rendez-vous point instead of one. Both have the same first name, and it starts with A. Let's call them 2As from now on.
I sat with 2As on the grass in the park beside the river and let the conversation rolling. We started with the question where to have dinner, slightly passed through "at work" subjects only to stop the conversation at pros and cons of shaving legs by women and chest by men. The doze of adrenaline in my mind floated like a shipwreck in the ocean. I reached for the wooden beam in water but needed a ship to carry me on the waves.
We rushed to have dinner, but let's skip that part. Cuisine is best described by tasting it and not writing about it. Even if it is Dutch cuisine. Suffice to say that we left pleased with food and headed for desert!
The third and final "intellectual message" happened in the cafe. 2As criss-crossed me with a question of what a woman should have to call herself a woman. But before that I have learnt what il maschio should have to be called a man. The summary is as follows (it was easy to remember as I made a memo game having myself as the ideal :):
1. A passion for things, like something he really excels in doing sth.
2. It's good if he plays an instrument, it manifests his sensitive side.
3. Good-looking but without a "tight ass"-meaning strangely walking. 
4. It's a great plus if you can see his bones and shape of body where usually his belt is.
5. It's more than welcome if he speaks to you while having one to one bed experience.
All of these I could gather from 2As, but still I feel I missed something really important. However, intellectual adrenaline was pumped into my brain. It still flows and keeps me awake... For how long?
By the way, there was a rose in my living-room. And an evening guest, a female. I used the three rules I described above and called it a day.
