Last night I dreamt I ws with Mark Lanegan, we were talking and he was smiling to me.
I mean, Mark Lanegan smiling it's a pretty big deal.
Just another mark in my life.

Against divorce.
No, I am not talking from a christian-catholic point of view, but from the American gays one. There are more than 18.000 legally married gay couples in USA. And now they want to say that gay marriage is NOT legal. This is crazy.

New York, immigration and Ellis Island
When I went to New York, some years ago, I stayed at some friends of my grannie´s place.
They were both in their 80ies. Helene was born in New York from a family of Italian immigrants. She grew up in the Bronx, and then she married the son of other Italian immigrants. She couldnt speak Italian.
Albert was born in Italy, in a small village in Campania. He went to New York, by boat (!) when he was around 17. He told me that when he arrived he had to stop for a while at Ellis Island and he told me a lot of stories about those who gathered there. He could speak Italian, the problem was that I couldnt understand the weird southern Italy dialect he was speaking.
Today I saw these pics. It is a great way to remember that we have been immigrants, we still are immigrants and, as we are always talking about respect, we should first of all have respect for all the foreign people living in Italy, if we want then to be respected abroad.

Someday This Pain WIll Be Usefull To You
No, I am not referring to my actual situation, I am just saying that you should read the above mentioned book.
Yes, it is indeed entitled "Someday This Pain Will Be Usefull To You". The Author is Peter Cameron. It is a great book. Trust me.
I definitely would like to advise it to somebody, though I dont know how....and maybe why? I dont think there is a reason to do something like that. I just would, if I could know how.
Whatever, here a quick resume and some reviews from the writer's webiste. Scrolling down the page you can also find a link where you can read te first chapter of the book online. Worth it.

Sunday
I woke up this morning, I looked myself in the mirror and I saw a pirate. already dressed in black, with my skull scarf on and my weird haircut and I thought I was looking like a pirate.
After 5 minutes I started to cry. Partly for this article I read and I am going to post as soon as I am finishing writing this, party because i is my brother's birthday today and I am not there and I am feeling kind of horrible because of that, even if I think that he should got used to it and I bet in the end he doesnt care at all. Then I started thinking about last Sunday, were I was at this time, and blah blah blah.
Since Sunday I am just having nightmares. The last I sleept good it was indeed Saturday night. I woke up on Sunday that I didn remember what I had dreamt, but who cares, it wasnt a nightmare and still, if it was, I couldnt remember.
I am going to prepare my breakfast and then I really dont know what to do. I think I should read, tonight I dreamt that my mum was buying me a book and this is actually the best part in all the dream, as the other was basically about running away from something, people who wanted to kill me and so on.
Constantly listening to The Gutter Twins. I think it is very hard I can go any more black that the way I am now.

God's Children - The Gutter Twins
All God's Children
Take their passage into night
It's a feeling best you hold on tight
All God's Children
Hold yourself up to the Light
It's a free fall I know
Whispers captured lies
Come now, make your move
Do the clothes make the man?
Does the soul understand? I do
Strange the way you seem suicidal
You don't live at all so why you cryin?
Come and play with me and feel Desire
It's all in the Dark a walk thru the Fire
Baby Cast your eyes
To the soul you never knew
And maybe you got no place to hide
So you turn in two like I do
Strange the way you seem- Suicidal
You don't live at all so why you cryin?
Come and play with me and feel Desire
It's all in the Dark a walk thru the Fire
Take their passage into night
It's a feeling best you hold on tight
All God's Children
Hold yourself up to the Light

50 Top Albums of the Year, according to Rolling Stone
I personally dont like Rolling Stone that much. But I partly agree with the list of the 50 top album of 2008 the music mag compiled.
The Tv on the Radio album rocks, the Fleet Foxes ones too, and so does Nick Cave (probably my album of the year). Other very good albums are in my opinion: Erykah Badu, Kings Of Leon, Kaiser Chiefs, MGMT (it´s not that good, but it´s funny!), Ra Ra Riots, Of Montreal, Hot Chip.
I really dont know why on this list there are mentioned: Metallica, Guns´n´Roses, The Jonas Brothers.
I think other very good album of the year are: Portugal. The Man (wow, they are really, really good), Sahara Hotnights, The Bishops and, of course, my loved Einstürzende Neubauten....

Interview to Mark Arm
I found this a nice interview. Apart from the fact that I think Mark is one of my all the time favourite musician.
I was so lucky to meet him once, I had a backstage pass thanks to me being cynical as usual.
Yes, I had a backstage pass just because I said a very cynic joke. And the roadie thought I deserved the pass.
Whatever, in case anyone is interested, Mark´s real surname is McLaughlin, by the way.

Today I didnt go to work. I simply didnt feel like. As if anybody cared. I stayed in bed till late, took a bath, a friend came over for breakfast. We ended up siting on the sofa buying furs on Ebay.
I have been riding my bike most of the afternoon. I needed to do something that looked kind of sporty a good friend of mine told me and this is the only thing I am really enjoying.
I mean, I told him that I needed to ride my horse, but I think it is kind of difficult to find a place where I can ride a horse here in Berlin. At least so fast. Not to talk about that i dont have my equipment.
To male the story short I ride my bike, tried to think as little as I could. This didnt work that much but at least I did something for myself.
I went food shopping at the Turkish market near to my flat. I dont have many occasions to go there and I like to go there. People are constantly screaming in a language that dont understand and it's funny. I ended up buying food that will probably rotten in my fridge, as usual. I bought peppermint, sure that as soon as I was home I could have made me a peppermint tea, but of course I didnt.
I have smoked I dont even know how many cigarettes and I am feeling kind of disgusted at the moment.
Now I am going to take a bath, candle lights, the book I am reading now ("The Turning", by Tim Winton,one of the main charachters has the same nickname that my sister gave to me. The book is basically talking about how people can look at their past in their present and reconsider everything they did while looking back). Nothing more. Dont want to think, dont want to think, dont want to think. I simply dont want to think.
At all.
I have ended up listening to Mother Love Bone. It has been ages I didnt. And now I remember why. That band could easily open all my darkest emotion. And this is something I definitely dont need right now.
I simply dont want to think.

Chloe Dancer by Mother Love Bone
Chloe don't know better
Chloe just like me, only beautiful
A couple of years of difference
But those lessons never learned
Chloe danced the tables in the french quarter
Always been given so I can't always make her laugh
But I'm proud to say
And I won't forget
Time spent laying by her side
Time spent laying by her side
And dreams like this must die
Chloe just like me, only beautiful
A couple of years of difference
But those lessons never learned
Chloe danced the tables in the french quarter
Always been given so I can't always make her laugh
But I'm proud to say
And I won't forget
Time spent laying by her side
Time spent laying by her side
And dreams like this must die
