Find pleasure in peace

 

Here's a nice site for a wacky idea : http://www.globalorgasm.org/ :

My friend Nick is proposing the following events as well:

1. The BigBangConnection, il Mega rutto dell'abisso.  <The BigBangConnection, the Mega belch in the abbiss>

2. La grande voce del pianeta Terra, gigantesca pernacchia sincronizzata alle 12.00 del 1 gennaio 2007 (greenwich time) <The voice of planet earth, gigantic pernacchia (this is something that doesn't translate in English and it's culturally very difficult to explain but it basically consist in producing a particular noise with your mouth while placing your hand in front of it and moving it in various styles different from town to town) synchronized at 12:00 of the 1 of January 2007.

Sign I have been in America a long time.

Today a little messenger toast popped up with the following from Italy: “Felon shot dead in southern Italy (Get the news to your desktop here: MSN Alerts).  I though: “Whatever!! Half a dozen gang members get shot across America every day”.  Then it hit me!  What the hell am I thinking?  I thought about that old statistic: “more people get killed by handguns in Miami in a day then in Palermo in one year” (Palermo being the most dangerous city in Italy) and I realized how desensitized I have grown by living here in America.  Kid kills half a dozen of his classmates makes news.  Some rich white guy shot in a nice suburban neighborhood makes news.  Nobody gives a damn about some wise guy getting killed behind a dumpster in south central!  Well, I am happy to see that I can still think that is wrong, even if it takes a couple of tries now.

Unfortunately America is entertained by murder (check your local TV listing) and bored with the solutions to the problem: better social policies and gun control.  I guess for me, visitor in a foreign country, only remains the work of keeping my culture without scuffing too much with the indigenous society and maybe some day a few more good things will sip in.

Cheerleader Blues

The talibush agents are working the field…. Literary… the football field.  

 

Vigilantes of morality working for the good of humanity, saviors of souls in search of improper epidermis, Angels protecting unruly underwear, righteous men working toward the concealment of garments, inquisitors of brassy braziers.  These are the men that show up at the pearly gates with their own book of good deeds and bad deeds.  They are the untouchable of decency, experts in the fine art of expurgation, Ninjas of bowdlerization.  These heroes of morality will stop at nothing

Genius

The last episode of South Park was absolute Genius!!  Kenny dies to save heaven with a golden PSP2 but some doctor manages to bring him back to live in vegetative state.  Add a golden statue of Keanu Reeves, a Best- Friend-For-Ever necklace and the biggest fight scene since Lord Of The Ring and you go pure genius!!
 
Bravo Tray Parker and Matt Stone!!

To much morality ends up in criminality

Talking about the Schiavo’s situation:

I have no idea what brought us here.  I don’t know what kind of combination of laws moral and religion pushed us to this.  I don’t understand the politics behind this.  I don’t know what everybody else is thinking about it but

Who in F&%*ing hell thinks that letting any creature on heart die of starvation is a good idea?!

In this country is moral to kill somebody if they commit a crime but it’s immoral to kill them via starvation and it’s immoral to kill somebody that is about to die but it is moral to let them die by starvation.  WHAT?  Who makes these laws? Who sets these morals? 

Is going to take this woman one to two weeks to die, if you think this is moral, stop eating for 3 days and check how it feels, then see if you still agree with yourself! 

In my view you either let her live connected by a machine and supervised by her parents or you give her a good nice little injection that will make her fall asleep forever without any pain.

Signs of the time

To articles not related and very distant to each other but very defining of our times...

---

Can anybody explain to me what is the difference between prohibiting a woman to bare her back and prohibiting her to show her face?

Who complains about this stuff? Talibani Members? Talibush members?

"My decision to release a portion of the tapes has come at a terrible price for my family and has deeply hurt many others."

This man sounds terrorized to me.  Somebody must have commited some act of terrorism against him...  but... Who?

Italia, record di bimbi poveri

A very sad article published by the Italian newspaper “La Republica” .  According to Unicef in Italy 16.6% of kids grow in families whose income is lower the national average, a record low for Europe.  The only two countries in worst shape are… surprise… the USA with a whooping 21.9% and Mexico 27.7%.  

 

Berlusconi and Bush, together fighting for morals!

Talking about: Casino Company Buys 69-HH Stripper's Implant

You got to love these guys, not only they own the only grilled cheese sandwitch that looks like a 2000 year's old virgin but also a gigantic fake boob. 

I know they buildign something with all these stuff... but what?  A space ship perhaps?  A time machine to go back to 1982?  What?

PizzaHut has gone too far!

It's an outrage!  What the hell is this?  http://www.pizzahut.com/whatsnew/dippinstrips/ ?? Why do they even bother calling it Pizza?  What is next?  Hamburger shaped spaghetti?  Tofu flavored lasagna?  I'm telling you this is plagiarism.  This is an offense to a whole country. Centuries of cooking perfection to hell.  I say this is worst then a religious offense!!  We stood by when you introduced the double layer cheese pizza and the pizza with cheese stuffed in the crust!  We didn't say anything when you slapped barbeque chicken on to the poor thing.  We didn't speak about the pineapple but this is gone too far! 
 
I here by challenge the moron who thought about this abomination to a duel!  Tomorrow at 9:00am (sunrise) in front of my house!

Too late to say thank you

Yesterday Consuelo Velazquez died at age 84.  

She is author of one of my favorite songs: “Besame Mucho”, a song that has followed me in so many continents thought my life.  I remember my grandma singing it in her under gown while cooking breakfast when I was six, I remember it mixed with the smell of fresh bread blasted out a transistor radio in a tiny bakery in Cadiz Spain and I remember singing it under the burning sun of Baja de los Piratas a couple of weeks ago.  

It’s too late to say thank you.
