DRA CULA

SOUNDTRACK

I knew that this would had happened... I changed my mind folks... 

it' s not just because I am moody (or because I am Gemini), this has to do with my last visit in Dubai.. last place where I lived for some time, for the (apparently) WRONG reason. I ve just realized that even though I went to a bunch of places it's more than a year that I don't travel because I want to, where I want to, with or without who I want to be with. Don' t get me wrong, Sri Lanka was great and exotic and very far, but right now I want to talk more about myself.

I ve never done that before because I was hiding, myself a little and other people mistakes but those days are over. I am done with it. 

This is me, my space, my words.

So... Romania it is. I actually decided this destination based on 2 simple things: 

1 never been there

2 super cheap

It can seem shallow but, not really. I think that places around us are always underestimated. Romania and Italy are a very good example of how our perception can be biased.

Here we have the biggest community of Romanian in the entire Europe, the majority of them speaks Italian... often even better than certain Italian people that I know. Still, Italians don't know nothing about it, never been there and mix them up with different ethnics. 

So, I thought that was something that I wanted to change ASAP, even better if it's cheap. I like to think about myself as a very curious person, so every changing is a travel in a way. I do have some dreamy destinations, but I don't think at travelling in terms of escape but in terms of learning new things, so I just booked for me and my roomie.

Marta.

One of the best roommates I have ever had, in terms of friendships (it's hard to live with me). We are good friends and have a lot in common. She s from Rapallo, near Genova, Liguria (I am not going to translate Italian places). We share the passion for the sea, books, De Andrè, a weird attitude and even weirder sense of humor.  

If you are wondering who De Andre is... he' s one the most important man in my life, culturally speaking. He was an artist, a poet, an activist and much more. I am going to suggest some soundtrack at some point, since I have been to Genova with and without Marta but if you're curious ask me about it. It would be my pleasure to narrate a different kind of travel. 

Ok, I think for now that's it. I don't want to write too long posts and be a pain in the ass, you have the destination, the first track of the OST, a little description of the characters involved and a spoiler picture. 

Enough to wait for the rest of the story.

I AM BACK

[ Soundtrack]

Ebbene si.. ho voluto riprendere in mano il mio blog dopo un saaacco di tempo/traslochi/cambi di paese/e/o residenza e dopo il clamoroso avvento di IG e Netflix in Italia e l' acquisto del mio nuovissimo e cinesissimo notebook {col cavolo che faccio pubblicità GRATIS}... ho persino cambiato stalker!

Non entrerò nei dettagli della mia vita solitamente tragicomica... dirò solo che Bridget Jones nel frattempo ha avuto un figlio, mentre io non corro certamente questo pericolo.

Intanto un breve preambolo solo per dire che Google mi ha ricordato che non scrivevo da tantissimo qua sopra e alla fine penso che potrei far almeno ridere qualcuno o comunque fare dell' ottima autoterapia... un pochino più seriamente, credo molto ancora nel veicolo delle parole e delle storie specialmente quando si racconta tutto molto velocemente magari attraverso immagini.. il piacere di una lettura dà una visione diversa. Senza contare che scrivere ad un ipotetico pubblico di sconosciuti è per me un valore aggiunto. ATTENZIONE, non sto assolutamente dicendo che produrrò letteratura o anche solo una BUONA lettura, ma sicuramente sarà abbastanza coerente con la realtà e poco noiosa. Sarà onesta e (spero) piacevole. 

E sulle ali di questa sincerità spudorata con il web ricordo o sottolineo qualcuno dei miei difetti per far capire meglio la mia personalità e di conseguenza, far capire da dove deriva la stupidità di certe mie decisioni:

- sono testarda,

- poco democratica,

- oscillo continuamente tra uno stato di fiducia nell' umanità e la misantropia più estrema,

- ebbene si, guardo uomini e donne E NON ME NE VERGOGNO ASSOLUTAMENTE,

- a volte sono davverodavverodavvero ingenua,

- per me le mestruazioni sono un evento traumatico ogni mese, la mia Kriptonite,

- riesco a essere parecchio stronza,

- ho un modo di dire le cose vagamente rude.

Per ora può bastare.

Credo si inizierà con il Sri Lanka, dato che è l' ultimo posto dove sono stata in vacanza... ma visto che come mio solito ho girato parecchio in questi anni potrebbero esserci anche cambiamenti all' ultimo momento.

Ladies and gentlemen... buckle up ‘cause I am back. Worse than ever I would say. Well.. Google reminded me last week that I didn’t t write that much in the past 3 years, so I thought it could be a good thing just start over, newer, fresher, and much more stupid but in a good way. Of course, so many things have happened in the meantime and I MOVED SO MANY TIMES that I do not even remember where I was living back then. Maybe my English is a little bit better (yes, dating American guys works, so people, stop going to very expensive schools just go to New York and use Tinder instead!) and my life is both tragic and comic as always.

The reason why I decided to do this, again, is that I thought I could make laugh someone and more seriously I really believe that words can be as strong or even stronger than images especially now that every day life is strictly linked to our social media image (which of course in my case barely exists) and as a consequence I believe in stories. I am not saying that I am producing literature here, this is mostly for fun but it’s going to be entertaining and honest because writing to a bunch of people that might not know you but sure they will judge you is weirdly easier for me.

On the wings of this strange sincere relationship I must admit and write at loud some of my defects so you can deeply understand where my stupidity belongs and in that way it will be easier to share the logic often complicated of my questionable decisions:

-          I am very stubborn,

-          I don’t believe anymore in the freedom of speech for everyone,

-          I live between the perpetual fight of having faith in humanity and be a truly misanthropist,

-          Despite everything I can be very very very naïve,

-          My period kills me, it’s my Kryptonite,

-          I can be a royal bitch,

-          I say things sometimes in a too much direct way.

Enough for now. Since last place I visited was Sri Lanka I will probably start with it but I am very moody, we will see.

Stay tuned
