04.11.2006 - Saturday - 04:09 - One of my Heroes
 


{the intro}


This morning I made the call
The one that ends it all
Hanging up, I wanted to cry
But dammit, this well's gone dry
Not for the money, not for the fame
Not for the power, just no more games


But now I'm safe
in the eye of the tornado
I can't replace the lies,
that let a 1000 days go
No more living trapped inside
In her way I'll surely die
In the eye of the tornado,
blow me away


You'll grow to loathe my name
You'll hate me just the same
You won't need your breath
And soon you'll meet your death
Not from the years, not from the use
Not from the tears, just self abuse


Who's to say, what's for me to say
Who's to say, what's for me to be
Who's to say, what's for me to do
Cause a big nothing it'll be for me


{the riff}


The land of opportunity
The golden chance for me
My future looks so bright
Now I think I've seen the light


{the solo}


Can't say what's on my mind
Can't do what I really feel
In this bed I made for me
Is where I sleep, I really feel


I warn you of the fate
Proven true to late
Your tongue twist perverse
Come drink now of this curse
And now I fill your brain
I spin you round again
My poison fills your head
As I tuck you into bed
You feel my fingertips
You won't forget my lips
You'll feel my cold breath
It's the kiss of death


Dave Mustaine is one of my heroes. If I'll ever have a daughter I'll strongly promote her name to be Elektra.

Rust In Peace is one of my best 10 albums ever. Fantastic riffs, incredible solos, interesting lyrics, parts that you just can't play that way... Please note that Dave sings while playing that stuff. Just try to play and sing (possibly at the same time) the first 2 minutes of Holy Wars...

Taller than me. At least 2 centimeters.

Blonde with light eyes. Powerful like a man. With a defect in pronouncing the "r" sound. The kind that I like. Beautiful as Hell.

She's treating me since some time. Laughing, interrupting when I'm talking... well... demonstrating superiority in a ton of ways.

First pushed me throwing half of my beer on the floor. Then, when I told that I don't want to beat her, treated me as a sort of friend. Sit down with me in the entrance of a shop to hide from the rain and smoked a couple of cigarettes.

Spoke a lot of things that in certain moments looked random.

I am, but I'm not, people are superficial, I need something to do... I need help, but I don't, I have to build up a family with someone that hates me, don't even dare to think about touchin' me.

Then she cried.

That moment was at the same time extremely beautiful and senseless. The teardrops of such a girl can probably make me climb mountains and certainly make my heart run a little bit faster.

"Please drop one in my beer so I can drink it"

On the other side climbing a mountain for someone that would throw you down when you reach the top can be a bit counter-productive :D

"Wait... you're stronger than me... why the hell are you cryin' now ?"

Also, it is not the first time. No effective influence on the real world: nothing is changed. Random.

Well... an emotion anyway. Aren't (such) emotions one of the reasons for living ? :)

I'd better go back to my studies now. Cya!

Yesterday night, in the Palio mess, I've lost my cellphone :/

The worse thing is not the phone itself but the contact list. If you don't hear anything from me for some time it is probably because I've lost your number and have no way finding it out again. Please give me a call, send an sms or drop me a mail.

Anyway, declared the loss to the local police, disabled the old card and got a new nokia 6630 along with a new card assigned to the old number. It took the whole evening...

Bleah :///////



14.08.2006 - Monday - 17:58 - What else is here ?


It was me on that road 
But you couldn't see me 
Too many lights on, but nowhere near here 

 
It was me on that road 
Still you couldn't see me 
And then flashlights and explosions 


Roads and getting nearer 
We cover distance but not together 
I am the storm and I am the wonder 
And the flashlights, nightmares 
And sudden explosions 


I don't know what more to ask for 
I was given just one wish 


It's about you and the sun 
A morning run 
The story of my maker 
What I have and what I ache for 


I've got a golden ear 
I cut and I spear 
And what else is there 
Roads and getting nearer 
We cover distance still not together 


If I am the storm if I am the wonder 
Will I have flashlights, nightmares 
And sudden explosions 


There's no room that I can go and 
You've got secrets too 


I don't know what more to ask for 
I was given just one wish

Christopher and Napo comed to visit me today (or better, yesterday, at this point). A nice encounter after several months, even years for Napo :)

Did some works on KVIrc. A lot of documentation must be fixed asap. Will continue in my spare time.

Finally found time to update my linux box. The Atlantis 56K modem did a heroic job by downloading more than 800 MB of (source) packages in few days. The emerge tool also did a great work by compiling more than 250 packages and failing effectively only a couple of times. That's a 99% success rate. The whole process required a single reboot (to bootstrap the new kernie). The ati-drivers made me go mad for a while but finally got them to compile and run properly. The 3d acceleration has still some problems: the driver claims that everything is ok but glxgears runs at 180 fps only. It might be related to the OpenGL libs; will take a deeper look at it later. Etherea is now running a new shiny 2.6.17 kernie, KDE 3.5.2, X.org 7.0 and the unmasked Ati FireGL driver 8.27.10. The system clock is still broken.

Again the palio. Not as welcome as the july's one. Also the Mojitos aren't that good anymore :/

Playing my guitar a lot in these days. Got a PODxt Live from Line6: it sounds nice and offers a really impressive amount of combination possibilities: it will take a while to discover all of them. Fixed and cleaned up both the RG and the JEM Ibanez axes. After a short (and cheap) visit to the luthier at Emporio Musicale Senese the RG started to sound really nice too.

The image below is based on "The photographer" by Aslik. Unfortunately couldn't find his portfolio or homepage to link it here. The image was posted on deviantart tough: dig around.
