PHILOSOPHY
Theodor Adorno "Auschwitz inizia ogni volta che qualcuno guarda a un mattatoio e pensa: sono soltanto animali."
I'm not like them, but i can pretend.
"chi è Paddy Garcia?"
"Es lo mejor de todos nos otros"
Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. - Marilyn Monroe
Io adesso so, ho capito, Kostja, che nel nostro lavoro, e non importa se recitiamo in teatro o scriviamo, la
cosa più importante non è¨ la gloria, non è lo splendore, non è¨ ciò che io sognavo, bensì¬ la capacità di sopportazione. Saper portare la tua croce e credere. Io credo, e il mio dolore si placa, e quando penso alla mia vocazione, non ho più paura della vita. (Il Gabbiano, A. Checov)
Puke also can shine if you put glitter on it. But anyway you have to eat and digest diamonds.
Matty Dean: [posing as La Miranda] : Oh, doctor, how '50s you be. Me, I'm living in the other state, between maleness and femaleness.
Psychiatrist: Which is?
Matty Dean: Fabulousness! (Da "Stonewall-the film)
fuck the world, i'm a panda!!!
Non bisogna mai smettere di avere fiducia negli uomini, direttore. Il giorno che accadrà sarà un giorno sbagliato.(da Le conseguenze dell'amore)
"Usually, old ladies tell me to find Jesus. Look, I'm just trying to find some chai and a good vegan muffin." - Davey Havok
"If I'll ever star again eating meat, I'll eat your hearth and drink your blood, my darling."
"Si comincia col maltrattare e macellare gli animali e presto lo si farà con gli uomini."
è più importante impedire ad un animale di soffrire, piuttosto che restare seduti a contemplare i mali dell'universo pregando in compagnia dei sacerdoti.
(Buddha)
La chiave della felicità è la disobbedienza in sè¨ (afterhours)
il derubato che sorride
ruba qualcosa al ladro
ma il derubato che piange
ruba qualcosa a se stesso (Modugno)
"bisogna innamorarsi e ubriacarsi dell'amore che si prova per tutte le cose belle della vita: l'arte, la musica, la natura, gli animali, le architetture, le atmosfere, i dolci, le spezie, le luci, le ombre...tutto"
Il mondo è quel disastro che vedete, non tanto per i guai combinati dai malfattori, ma per l'inerzia dei giusti che se ne accorgono e stanno lì a guardare. Albert Einstein
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
i am really sorry but i'm for 6-7 months I'm out of home (in the Caribbean) and I CANNOT HOST.
update 2015: I can occasionally host but in the rules of my volunteer's house "I should not host couchsurfers" so i cannot do it always, and I can do it only for 1 person

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
i've been volunteer in a camp in Armenia, i've been hitchhiking from Ukraine to Italy with a friend and a little puppy, i've been around the Balkans trying to learn croatian language.
Usually hitchhiking around. I've done some youth exchanges, ESV and frequently go in ecovillages and rainbow gatherings. I've been living 10 months in Aruba attending a dutch art and design school and working in several projects with art, kids and video.
I'm currently doing an ESV in Moldova where I'm working with mental and physical disables, kids and teenagers, doing art, theatre and video projects with them and with a local cultural association.
Teach, Learn, Share
artistic, non conformed people, kind of eco-animal friendly, vegan, curios people, political and enviroment activists, creatives, photographers, musicians....everyone is interesting if you get a little closer
What I Can Share with Hosts
when I am in Florence i have a couch in the kitchen, very confy but not suited for tall people, I usually host men there.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Now in Chisinau, on our contract we signed to not host couchsurfers, so i CANNOT host OFTEN and i have to ask all my roomates agreements, so ask IN TIME. accomodation can be in the balcony (it's a closed one, with mats and carpets, perfect on summer) .
UPDATE 2016: now i do live in a larger apartment and i CAN HOST people BUT i need to KNOW it about 1 WEEK BEFORE (i have to organize myself). please notice that i work all day and i have 5 cats, no vacuum cleaner and no washing machine, so if you are host and you see something dirty/untidy, please don't complain but help me to clean up and fix it !! :)
when you ask for hosting please WRITE a couple of lines about YOURSELF not only "i'm xx can you host me this day?". at least explain why, what u're doing etc. I'm tired to say it, but i don't know I still got dozen of that.
(since i had some bad experiences)as you read in the rules of CS i DON'T provide in any sense girlfriends, escorts or nothing like that. please not flirt, i'm engaged. I'm volunteering here for 5 months but still i don't know a lot of stuff, so if you want we can enjoy our presence and go around, but don't ask me to be a tourist guide, find you jobs, flats or whatever. (in italy i could but i don't live there anymore)
PLEASE, it is possible to have any FEMALE CS request? it's been 2 years I got only men request and sometimes I have the feeling somebody is using it as a dating agency, and it's annoying and not working. So please DON'T BE one of them!! :)
feel sorry for the annoying list of "rules", but I got bad experiences.
