7:50 pm	You're a little gold key, and you unlock other people's hearts. Your kindness and willingness to be there for those you care about lets people open up to you knowing they will be accepted. People will rely on you, but be careful not to give more than you have. What sort of key are you and what do you unlock? brought to you by Quizilla (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:06 am	Is it me,on the other side? corvus666 took the free ColorQuiz.com personality test! "Wants to prove to himself and others that nothing ..." Click here to read the rest of the results. So...what do you think about that?I don't agree completely with it... ..but:"As a result, he acts with harshness or severity and adopts an autocratic and self-willed attitude" sounds a lot like "There are just two ways:the wrong way and the Corvus way"...LOL! NEVERMORE Great show yesterday night,NM have been simply perfect on stage,WOAH!Got good pics,got new jumper and T-shirt,got squeezed for a couple of hours and I've seen for the third time one of my favourite bands.Since I was 17 their music impressed me so much!And their last album is now always on my mp3 player since I bought it in Wacken,one of my favourite albums ever.As soon as I understand how to post pics here I'll show you some Trained I see imperfection in your race Lying in wait, blind I suffer knowing I’ll never reach your heaven It’s unattaintable, please teach me how to dream I long to be more than a machine Current Mood: sleepy (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:31 am	BAT You're a bat! You are social, quiet, and seaching for higher truths. Aware that you don't know everything, you use progress and self betterment as a form of personal transformation. Though you have a sense of family and community, you prefer to do your own thing a lot of the time. Nocturnal by nature, you shy away from the daylight, but once the sun says goodnight, you're ready to roll. Congratulations! As a bat you are on a difficult road of dual nature, but you'll make it through - you always do! What pagan familiar are you? brought to you by Quizilla do you agree with it?

5:37 pm	Ooooo-k.I spend the last 6 hours on my PC trying to fix a bug that can't be fixed...have to format the HD,*°#çò!!!!!! In the last week I spend so much time recording music that I'm almost bored.Yesterday I recorded a demo in a studio with one of my bands,the final mix will be ready on monday evening,looking forward to it. With the other band things are a little bit more complex,it will be my first album as a sound engeneer and producer,quite a tough work.I have to listen to the tracks so many times that I'm almost hating my music...no it cannot happen,I love so much music:) Anyway I have to relax a little,I can't keep on studing music software and Pollution chemical analysis,it will make me crazy. Great concert on 27-4,I think that Dark suns is my 'Rookie of the year' band,very impressive.And about PoS,what can I say?Simply great. Current Mood: crazy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:40 pm	Have you ever felt alone in the middle of the crowd? I should post something about the week that was full of nice things but I'm not exactly in the mood...I spend one hour on the roof of my lab,sitting in the sun and gazing at the mountains.It was about one year ago the first time I did it;everything looked different,I had a different life,different feelings and projects about my life.Even if I decided a few weeks ago to hide in my head,to my own eyes,some painful memories,some people and some past events,the sight of the same mountains made them break out all at once. I should not,but I feel a bit depressed,I know I'm missing something like a clue in my cosmology and it makes me feel...alone...again...even if I have so many wonderful persons at my side trying to make me feel better,but they can't do much about that.And I'm so sorry because I know it will hurt people who don't deserve it...

12:13 am	in silence I observe At the great wood's mouth, by the deep cave's door. I listened to something I had heard before. The wood's mouth. In a field I am the absence. Wherever I am I am what is missing. And in silence I observe When I walk I part the air and always the air moves in. To fill the spaces where my body has been... I close my eyelids. There was nothing more to say. I've seen it all before. But, I find comfort in silence, summer melacholia. The air shivered against my skin. Dark leaned into my eyes. Those threatening clouds. The sweet music of the summer rain. The mist in early hours. The dominant winds. Current Mood: lethargic (Comment on this)

8:49 pm	rain It's a couple of days I'm thinkin' about spring and summer rain.I like to walk in the rain,I've always found it very "communing"(poor grammar...) with me.  I think I've a strange mix of sunny and rainy personality,sometimes even stormy.I'm quite a positive person,I always try to make people look at the "bright side"(also if I'm not often able to do it) but I know that melancholia is great part of my life,it's something I know about me since I was a child.And there's a "stormy" part of me that ravishes me with strong passion for the things I love. That's why I don't dislike rain,if the temperature's not too low it reminds me of the melancholia I often belong to.When rain is not too cold it doesn't make people run away to worm themselves but they just keep on going,just a little more silent than before.Everybody seems to be closed in his thoughts,the sounds don't seem to be so loud anymore but soft and smoothed by the calm buzz of the drops.Just like when you're drenched by your thoughts as by the teardrops,nothing seems to be louder than your meditation,you can't find any interest in the colors because your eyes can't find their brilliancy anymore. Is to be melancholic to loose the interest for the world outside us and turn our eyes to the inner part of us?to our wounds,to our need for the equilibrium we have lost or we just never found?Or it's just a rainy day we don't dislike so much to desire it to turn in a worm, sunny, ordinary afternoon?

5:42 pm	It's a very long time I don't write on LJ!!!Well,part of it depends on the fact that the last post was written in a situation of serious loss of consciousness so I don't really know where it has been posted... The last days were very busy but let's start from the beginning.Thursday we went out with the people from the labs for a tavern dinner.My faculty is vey small,about 30 students per year and most of his activity is based on the reserch.It makes possible a very relaxed and informal environment with a very friendly relationship with the profs.So I spend the other night drinking red wine and singing tavern songs with professors and the department principal.The funniest thing,apart from driving back home trough the country roads at 2 in the morning,was the next morning in the lab...everybody trying to hide sickness Then I had a very "hard" week end,saturday and sunday party! I've been hosted by my great friend AleDilo friday and saturday night to prepare the spring party we have every year.I started coocking at half past ten in the morning:cous cous,basmati rice,valencian paella and chiken curry in just 3 hours,it was not cooking,it was juggler stuff! It was long time since I hadn't cook for 15-20 people,I was missing that.Obviously I had to drink a lot ... The next morning I had to go back to Pavia for my drummer's paty...we spend the afternoon watching horror b-movies an drinking(again!) some great Lambrusco.Maybe I have to start resting in the w.e.,not tryingto do the opposite Current Mood: calm (3 Comments |Comment on this)

1:02 pm	How is it possible to make a balance between the pain and the "pleasure" you do somebody at the same time? Especially if is somebody so special to you... I know it sounds like a sado-maso phrase but it has nothing to do with it...maybe with bondage but just one person can understand why... Current Mood: depressed (4 Comments |Comment on this)

11:26 am	Today I'm really bored,all the things I tried to do were stopped by stupid problems.I'm waiting for the Sigma-Aldrich to send me some reactants I've not been able to find in the whole university and desperately need,for the cristallogrpher to call me back to bring him "my little babies"(smart spiky silver cristals) and I can't find prof Brandone to book an exam.So I'm here,wasting time on the computer,looking for smth useful to do...

8:54 pm	Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already. In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth. Buddhism 75% Islam 67% agnosticism 58% atheism 58% Satanism 50% Judaism 50% Paganism 46% Christianity 42% Hinduism 42% WoooooW! Yes,I'm a very spiritual person and agree with the description Current Mood: tired (Comment on this)
5:27 pm	Well,I have 15 spare minutes to write something before I leave the lab for my kung fu training. I had a pretty good w.e.,A quiet friday night with ivy and an unexpected saturday night in Milan with my singer Aldo and Dena,a friend I had not met for months.We were looking for a good metal pub or a goth place but sometimes it seems that Milan is not a place with a lot of different cultures but a city where smart people are just dressing in different ways but they are alla the same. Luckily some true metallers exist,it's just very hard to find them,there are so many "posers" that makes me sick,false people that waste their lives playng the part of a "true" when they're just a bunch of brainless puppets... Anyway,at quarter past one we were in "Midnight" pub drinking beer and whisky then we have been wandering in the wet night singing togheter and talkin' a lot until 5 in the morning.We were not drunk but very very happy! Does it sound funny? Just think about the way I woke up sunday morning at 9...I had a 40 minutes shower to get back in the real world and go to vote.And sunday evening a great dinner with some old friends,a lot of wine,a looooot of Montenegro and laughs.I think I have to stop loosing sleep and drink so much...next w.e. I have two killer grill parties,wow!!! (Comment on this)
4:31 pm	I can just be sad for the pope's death. I'm not a religious person,I never go to church(I just visit churches because I love art),and also if I know everything a catholic has to know I am not sure at all about religion. I always say "I can't say anything about the existence of the gods because of the difficulty of the subject an the briefness of human life"(was that Protagoras?) And what about the political responsibility of the pope in the balkan war or in the way soviet union fall? But I'm sad anyway (Comment on this)
