Will Medicare And Medical Pay For Bathtubs

Chanson Triste

Imagination is the key ingredient of all creation. But more than the fantasy takes the lack of decency to write songs, as well as making a painting. Here, it is discovered, to tell themselves. The fantasy we have it all, the lack of modesty is perhaps a privilege, however, is something that one must cultivate the discipline of [Francesco De Gregori ]

Fuck me here, now! I want to be fucked on this lawn, under the sky. I I heart burst with happiness.

Sixty miles to go and the desire for a car ride, all in an afternoon, until that secluded and quiet location, nestled between the hills of Asti.

The beginning, with those known to pull in a plane of expression, with a bow that lingers in the grueling vibrato, is that of Chanson Triste of Pietr Illyich Tchaikovsky

In the small parking lot there is only a motorcycle and the hut used as a place restaurant has few customers. Another return, and the memory running at twenty years before, the day of discovery: the apple orchard was in bloom just like today, the same blue building at the time. Starting enclosed along the dirt road between two rows of cypress trees in a double curve touches the abbey and climbs, including apple and vine reaches the top of the hill where eyes may explode in the enveloping blue skies looming .

The music of Tchaikovsky expands in perfect resonance with the open space of the rice fields without space and time boundaries. The speeding car seems to fuse music and infinite space.

The lawn that appears suddenly in front , degrades gently downstream. The same lawn on which he loved, between heaven and earth, on that day twenty years ago and now, while looking in the wrong feeling through the parable its slow, it drags on, with dull melancholy, in a time that now exists only in himself.

The cello off his music with a note that is aroused by a pianissimo to dive, getting lost in the mystical silence of the place.

The Notorious Jewel And Shelly

Bolzaneto

With that do a little 'well, that look a bit' so
What have we that we have seen Genoa

[ Elvis ]

I have already spoken of a book by Simon Orlando, Carlo Giuliani. Even if you think you acquitted , published by Aliberti, which falls within the sphere of interest overwhelmingly media after the concrete possibility of crime and punishment scandalously inadequate myths to the authors of torture perpetrated in the barracks of Bolzaneto . I have made songs available for this book hoping that Orlando , if ever he were to read these lines, I do not want to.

The premeditated actions of the police in and around Piazza Alimonda, torture of Bolzaneto , the cowardly acts of intimidation of the Diaz school can be attributed to a political climate, unfortunately, not unprecedented in the history of the Republic, marked by ' disturbing component in the Fascist government in 2001 was named in 1960 as Fini called Almirante and the memory runs at the serious facts of Reggio Emilia .

The crime of torture in Italy there does not exist. It was not considered during recent decades to adapt our code to the international law of human rights , the UN Convention against Torture, ratified by our country in 1988. There are, as a replacement, inadequate crimes such as abuse of office or domestic violence, crimes punishable by sentences laughable and prescription. I believe that within the European Community that Italy has remained the only country with this type of legislation, if you can be proud of ...

The list of people who have suffered torture Bolzaneto includes eighty-two names.


And I want to talk, even if it seems slightly relevant, of Marchitto Lucia, a writer (and I know that this word, understood in its essence of craftsmanship and physical needs strong, and the like) and civil commitment of historical memory, a writer of struggle. He worked with his writing, one of the darkest pages of terrorism of our republican history, the massacre of Piazza della Loggia, Brescia, giving rise to bloody pages of emotional stress and that these texts would be nice to publish them on the blog so everyone can learn.

It would take a Lucia for Genoa.


Genoa for us is an idea as another

How To Hook Up Phone With Time Warner Cable

Music

I have trouble writing lately.
I read, I listen to lots of music and sound, too, but I do not want to write.
In my reading I am slowly returning to its origins. I had betrayed the fiction to arrive to the shores of the mysterious narrative, induced by certain blogghistiche acquaintances, really. I realize the major limitation of this choice. Hence the crisis and a progressive return to base, which does not mean abandoning the narrative but to make a serious reflection on the quality of the readings.

not true, statistics in hand, in Italy read less fiction than in the rest of the world. The Italian data are quite aligned. The problem is the production of non-fiction and manuals. And 'the difference right there. We are a country with low scientific and technological culture, which is very serious in the general economy of our identity and authority worldwide. Delay, as readers, fiction often easy, pure entertainment. Where to read? In bed before falling asleep? Sitting on a dilapidated seat commuter train? Lie on the beach this summer? There is a relationship between the quality of their readings and how?

I must say that the idea of \u200b\u200bmaking music and not just listen, I stole time to writing, with great satisfaction this time. The clarinet is a perfect partner treatment than small and large daily problems and knows how to take me to the exact center of my balance. Why do we have to say that we are a people who make very little music and a little of everything. And little stars of light users "do."


One of the things that fascinated me most, studying the history of Afro-American music, for example, is the radicalization of the strong musical tradition in the family, even under extremely poor. The music has been passed down from parents to children as an organic component of the identity family and social life. One form of resistance to established power. In my family I am working to create a core base that is able, in the consolidation of their identity, referring to loud music.

I want to say outright that the issue of a single note, even a whole note, when the sound is clean and crystalline in tone, is inestimable, for emotion.

Lia Sophia November Invites

Evil

The story of Gravina di Puglia, painful and distressing to the torment.

I spent my childhood on the edge of disaster. I walked on the edge of cliffs infinite unknown explored caves, crossed the ford dangerous streams, steep cliffs dipped. And I had only a few years, six, seven, maybe. Yet I remained alive. The fortune has accompanied me in all these symbolic journeys to discover me as well as some of my friends in this journey, by contrast, has left his life (not my memory).

But Gravina di Puglia reminds us that, stupidly, let the bad always far away, beyond, outside of us, the evil that is there, near and with us as a peaceful boyfriend. Unable to look into it, reluctant to peer into the belly of men and cities, we look to far horizons not find it, finally, the evil, but to exorcise it, remove the idea of \u200b\u200bit. Thus, children of Gravina, searched the seas and mountains, chasing impossible slopes and assumptions, they were there, two steps.

As the ogre of fairy tales, always in the expected, unexpected check from our deep groove. To bring them.
