Today...

Man was born with both a mind and an heart. Such a cruel fate I'd say.

Man was born with both reason and feelings. Destined to fight all the time.

Most of the people have a side larger than the other.

I don't know how should I consider myself, I just know both of them fight inside me, attempting to sway the rival.

Maybe my coldness, my roughness, is a facade, a gelid facade to cover my flamboyant emotionality.

There may be times in which I don't want to think about what's so dear to me to hurt like glass chippings stabbing deep into my palm. I'd lick that blood to forget about what I carry inside, about what kept me going so far. But I would never regret what I've done, because if I did, it was enough important to me to travel even to hell and come back.

But leave me be today... today I don't want to think about anything... today... is one of those moments...

"E poi viene quell'attimo in cui vorrei solo abbracciarti forte e non pensare a nulla"

Today is one of those days in which if only I could have you with me, I wouldn't care if time would freeze or flow ahead for all the eternity.

Today is one of those days in which if only I could smell your scent, I wouldn't care if the sky will burst, or the sun will burn.

Today is one of those days in which if only I could feel your heart beating near mine, I wouldn't care if this world would end today.

My 24th Bday Party

This cake is the one for my bday party (yush, my mom baked it <3 )

So yea, I turned 24 last 13th April, and I've had my bday party on the 17th.

I've had quite some fun last night with my pals, but I really wished some of my other friends from across the world, could've been there with us. In the past years I've spent on the net, I managed to meet awesome people, and even though I can talk to them everyday, I'd love to chat with them face to face with a good pizza in the middle; it's one of my future goals to meet most of them.

Other than that, for me, my bday is one of those moments of the year in which I feel to balance my life. I have to say things are going good so far. University is going great, especially in the exam's window that just ended. I've got some good work's projects coming. I have some great friends with me, some I've always had but I've rediscovered lately (btw Thanks for the video Pan :) ), and some that have always been with me no matter what. There still are some friendships I'd like to recover because they've been dear to me, and a major dangling situation that I have to resolve, because it's really important to me.

Anyways, Thanks to all for the greetings (my Facebook profile got literally flooded this year :P ), and I hope to share my cake with you all next year !!!

A feeble ruth

It was a while I didn't write a poem. At least in English. I usually end up writing when I feel flooded of emotions and mostly at night. I came back at home tonight, and for a couple of reasons, my chest feels tight tonight. So here's something that allowed me to not burst.

A feeble ruth

Tell me: How much is worth a dream?

Tell me: How much is worth my smile?

I've been draggin' myself for a while

into a ravine with barely any gleam.

The restless try to glimpse a pale light

that day after day doesn't get more bright:

I don't know if you can call it tenderly pure

or you should label it as crudely immature.

I hear from the deep oceans a feeble ruth

through the quiet wind whispers its truth:

"It's written up in the sky

you can love till you die,

But no man should ever die

waitin' to be loved maybe a day"

Manga Reader !!!

If you like manga like I do, you will surely have a conspicuous collection in your room.
But, sadly, sometimes there are certain series that for a reason or another doesn't reach your country (or even though they do, they are so not updated that you get bombed by spoilers around the net). So everyone of us soon or later ended reading or downloading mangas from the net.
Of course, being used to read the real thing it can be a bit awkward to stare a monitor... where sometimes the page wont load, the text is too small, it's annoying to change the folders after each chapter or it's tiring to browse websites to find the latest chapter.

To solve this, there are some software that can help us. Among the many, the one that I mostly love so far is Manga Reader.

Download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?izmndy4zzgv

Official site: http://mangareader.wordpress.com/

Some of its features:

Online Manga Explorer

The Online Manga Explorer allows you to browse online mangas available from community sites such as www.onemanga.com , www.mangavolume.com or www.mangafox.com.

To quickly find the manga you are interested in, use the search box in the upper right corner. The list of mangas displayed will be filtered as you type.

Manual Page Flip

To manually flip pages, move the mouse to any of the four corners of the “virtual book”. When the page begins to flip as illustrated on the right, click and drag the page to the other half of the book.

Interactive Zoom

The zoom feature of Manga Reader is interactive, and allows you zoom into mangas without losing the ability to flip pages.

To zoom in, you can use the mouse wheel or the zoom slider displayed in the title bar.

Zoomed Panning - When zoomed in, instead of using the mouse to navigate, you can continuously press Space or Enter to move the view to the next section of unread content. Similarly, you can press Shift- Space or Shift-Enter to move to the previous section.

Settings Window

The settings window allows you to customize your reading experience. Here is description of all the parameters available:

Display Mode - You can read mangas by having two pages displayed on the screen (Double Page Mode), or having the focus on one page which is displayed in the center of the screen (Single Page Mode).

Page Flip Direction - You can choose to read mangas by flipping pages from right to left or left to right (Japanese mode).

In Page Flow - This setting allows you to choose the flow direction within a single page. Mangas are typically read from right to left within a page, whereas American comic books follow the left to right mode.

Remember Manga - This setting allows you to choose whether Manga Reader should open the last manga read at startup. This allows you to get back to the manga you were reading before you closed the program. Manga Reader also remembers the page you were at.

Love words 0.1

This is a video I made some time ago, while I was messing a little with Pinnacle, to test out some features. To realize it, I choose one of my absolute favourite songs: Always - Jon Bon Jovi , and a selection of some sweets aphorisms.

I hope you guys will enjoy it. :)

You 'n me (Tu ed io)

Up until now, I've posted many of my english poems, but sometimes I've tried writing some other kind of composition beside sonnets and such.

There was a time, I tried writing a song lyric for a friend (Hei there Simo! :) ). She was randomly humming over a melody she composed and she let me listen to it. The music was good, aswell as her voice. I hope a day I'll be able to share also the song.

Here's what I came up with:

You 'n me

When your heart can't feel at ease
when you feel there's nothing you can do
when the night draws black ahead
'n you shiver alone in despair

Forget all the sadness and the fear
Just close your eyes and believe in me
I promise I'll be there to hold your hand
I promise together we will bear
what life will make us face
I promise we'll be me 'n you near.
I promise. I promise.
Forever you 'n me.

Even if you can't seem to stand up
Even if burden seem to keep you down
Even if you feel left alone for that
For you and especially then


There'll be someone to dry your tear
Just close your eyes and leave it to me
I promise I'll be there to hold your hand
I promise together we will bear
what life will make us face
I promise we'll be me 'n you near.
I promise. I promise.
Forever you 'n me.

No, that sad look don't have [no no]
Remove it from your face
It doesn't fit your heart
I've got a smile for you so

Smile me back 'n your laugh let me hear
Just close your eyes and hug tight me
I promise I'll be there to hold your hand
I promise together we will bear
what life will make us face
I promise we'll be me 'n you near.
I promise. I promise.
Forever you 'n me.
Forever you 'n me.
You 'n me.

Tu ed Io

Quando il tuo cuore non può esser tranquillo
quando senti che non c'è nulla che puoi fare
quando la notte si estende nera avanti a te
e tu rabbrividisci da solo nella disperazione

Dimentica tutta la tristezza e la paura
chiudi solamente i tuoi occhi e credi in me
Prometto che sarò lì a tenerti la mano
Prometto che insieme sopporteremo
quello che la vita ci farà affrontare
Prometto che saremo io e te vicini.
Te lo prometto, te lo prometto.
Per sempre tu ed io.

Anche se sembri non riuscire ad alzarti
Anche se il peso sembra tenerti a terra
Anche se ti senti lasciato solo per questo
Per te, e specialmente allora

Ci sarà qualcuno ad asciugarti le lacrime
chiudi solamente i tuoi occhi e lascia il resto a me
Prometto che sarò lì a tenerti la mano
Prometto che insieme sopporteremo
quello che la vita ci farà affrontare
Prometto che saremo io e te vicini.
Te lo prometto, te lo prometto.
Per sempre tu ed io.


No, non avere quell'espressione triste [no no]
toglitela dalla faccia
non si addice al tuo cuore
Ho qui un sorriso per te per cui

Sorridimi di rimando e fammi sentire la tua risata
chiudi solamente i tuoi occhi e abbracciami forte
Prometto che sarò lì a tenerti la mano
Prometto che insieme sopporteremo
quello che la vita ci farà affrontare
Prometto che saremo io e te vicini.
Te lo prometto, te lo prometto.
Per sempre tu ed io.
Per sempre tu ed io.
Tu ed io.

Tum Tum. Tum Tum. It's My Heart, Not A Bell.

Tum Tum. Tum Tum. It's my heart, not a bell.
And my legs, like jelly on the ground weak,
till someone from far smile and make me tweak.
If I'm into a vision at least a thing lemme tell

When your most wished phantasy become real
you can't belive it, like it was an aye ban,
now you are there, also the time stop to ran,
caught in a moment you thought just ethereal.

I am there, into your eyes deeply lost
I've Venus in front of me, and she smile
and my head whirl like hitted by a tile,
and i find myself burnt like a toast.

I can feel the scent I thought I never might,
and walk for the street, with you as my light,
step by step ahead, with no worry at my sight,
'coz for me the only care is to hold you tight.

There is no way, there is no world around,
I'd try to summon that moment with my verse
to make you get that is just You my universe,
that your voice for my heart the only sound.

It seems that for once for the joy i signed up,
and also if I sadly know this can't last forever
I beg you Fate, not us, not now, yet don't sever,
and also if it's a dream, please don't wake me up.

Wind

Winds. Uncaring, outside blow.
From a window, in a stranger dark room,
listening their sad lyric of doom.
Wearing me down, uncalmed feelings flow.

Wind, don't stop, go ahead, keep blowing,
play your show for a stupid male,
ignore that inside me there is the real gale,
I'm here, unfeeling, impassive, waiting.

Winds, caress my ears with your notes,
touch my dry lips with your breeze,
hold my unloved soul into your squeeze,
make my mind part of your neverending quotes.

Wind, I am here with you, for my last breath,
I am here, tired, without any point,
I am here with you, in the sadness joint,
Don't ask me more, bring me the freedom of death.

Unhappy Ending Fable

From the deepest sky a star I'd like to bring
to put it gently between your scented hair,
and you wouldn't come out from your far lair.
Also a comet for you would be a simple thing.

From the highest mountain a rose I'd like to take
to place it smoothly on your soft hand,
and you wouldn't move from the place where you stand.
Also climb the Andes for you would be easy to make.

From the sunshine a golden ray I'd like to steal
to wrap it around your finger like a ring,
and you wouldn't notice either this thing.
Also the sun for you wouldn't be a big deal.

I am sorry if I am just a dreamer and not more,
I can't offer you much but my stupid dreams.
I hope you will get what your name for me means,
without you I can't breath serenely anymore.


Close your eyes and come with me at least once,
trust me and I'll guide you into our magic tale,
let's get on the flying carpet through the gale,
let's rise the eternity where skylights bounce.

Ahead, till we reach the neverwinter place,
where we can see the true color of the sound,
where we can jump on the clouds without rebound,
no troubles here, me and you for once in peace.

With me on this travel I would have only thee,
1000 princess I could have to choose between,
that my Heart will only call you as his Queen.
You should know your name is carved on my tree.

But this is just my fable without an happy ending,
a foolish fantasy that kept me writing till the dawn,
thinking to you, while the sane people sleep or yawn.
While the night fly away, I am here words shaping.

I know you will take this just like another error,
I know for you all I do is wrong, and you wont care
my best dream would be the One that you can share,
and the fear you'll never believe it, my worse terror.
