About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hello! Wanna know something about me? Mmmm let me think...it's so difficult to describe myself, everything seems stupid and unuseful! That's because describing the thousands aspects of a person with just few words is nearly impossible but, let's try! I've been living for many years in Bologna, northern Italy (not so northern anyway...) and some time ago I moved to Poland where I have spent almost 4 years. I relocated to Zurich to start a new great professional adventure (but it's also a life adventure!!!) and I'm very happy to be here now. I like motorbikes, nature, music and sport. I really love photography, travels and meeting new people, taste everything life has to offer, mostly simple things. I like to appreciate the small "great" things of every day that we often can't see, the fresh air in the morning, a nice sunset, feel the warm touch of a water drop under the shower...every thing can be amazing! I never got tired about having new friends so come on!!!
I use to sleep just few hours because I like to live all the day and mostly the night because I think it's full of incredible feelings. I'm a cheerful person, eversmiling and dynamic, singing all the time, I like to do a lot of activities and every day I try new ones. I like to smile and make the persons around me happy, making them feel confortable.
Well, I do so many things because I get bored really easily so I need to change, try new things, experiment and so on.
I really like life, I love to taste every day at all, till the very last moment...life is short, carpe diem!
;-)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is beautiful but short so...carpe diem!!!

You can fully understand my philosophy just listening to this great italian song (I translated lyrics into english for better understanding but it wasn't easy to maintain the orignal meaning...it's an hard one!). Music and words are from this amazing author but the voice is from a child with a reason you'll understand at the end...enjoy! ;)

***** Lyrics *****

Alessandro Mannarino - Living the life (Vivere la vita)

Living the life is a really big thing
there is a whole world between the cradle and the grave

You left from a small harbor
where your thirst was big and the bottle was small
and now live
because there is nothing better to do
until you're dead!
Life is the biggest drunking
while you are drinking everything revolves around you
and you meet a lot of people
but when they will go away you will not remember anything
but don't be scared, someone will remind about you
but the point is...why?
Because he has something you gave him or because
you had a debt you didn't pay???
There is nothing worse than wasted talent
There is nothing more sad than a father who never loved...

Living the life is like playing a big ring-around-the-rosey
there is a moment to stay high and another to fall down
and then you will be scared
because you weren't ready for that night
at the morning you will raise on your legs
and you'll be the strongest man in the world
She used a very strong make-up to hide her sorrow
he used to put his fingers in the throat to see if he really had an heart
then what society didn't do, love did...
look at them now while they walk without a name...

You can change your shirt if you want
and if you have faith you can change your shoes...
and if you have new shoes you can change direction
and if you change direction you can change your ideas
and with ideas you can change the world...
but the world doesn't change often
so your real revolution will be to change yourself
here you are on a boat of paper challenging the waves of radiotelevision
here you are on a highway giving a big punch to an exploiter
here you are writing a song in your flat
here you are in war, in the desert you wish to escape from
And now there you are on the bed and you don't want to get out
and you are complaining about government and general crysis...

May I say one thing as a child?
"Leave your house, smile, breath deeply
You are alive, stupid!"
