Merry Christmas
Christmas and 'come, and given that its original meaning and' celebrate the birth of a special little boy, I thought that writing a letter to Jesus' child was it more 'appropriate. Then I read this letter published by Severgnini Italians on the forum, and I would say that I agree with 99.9% of what 'he writes and I do not think I could produce nothing better. So here it is, and I think 'fantastic! Merry Christmas to all!
Dear Baby Jesus,
is our duty to warn. If you decide to go down again this year between us, you do so at your own risk. There Herod, that is true. But the time is quarrelsome (in politics, economics, anywhere, at Milan's central station), and you'll see they'll try to get in the middle.
- For starters, try to enlist in a political party. During Christmas, suddenly, all catholic: people who use the crucifix as a baton, and devout atheists computers, ministers and prelates priestly ministry. What did you say? Di Pietro wrote to you yesterday, warning of the devil? One of these days will suggest a phrase: "You're a Peter, and upon this rock I will build my party." Do not trust.
- the House will fight to establish whether Silent Night is right as you come down from the stars is to the left. In the Senate Schifani cry "lower the tone." Rutelli No.2 of the card will offer his new party (if it holds the No. 1). The Santanché say that the comet was inspired by his hairstyle.
- is likely to remain stuck in the cave in the cold. Due to exceptional rainfall nature of snow - the snow today are so called - the goods are not insured, even heating. The ox and the donkey? Forget it. The first is on strike against the price of milk to the barn, out of solidarity and veal. The donkey - also called jackass - undertook to discuss the living rooms TV.
- in the cave comes a troupe of TG4 in search of alternative stories of Christmas ("hippy couple takes refuge with infant son in a cave - did not know what the Knight has abolished the ICI on the first house! "). And if you tell them," Have Faith! "They will say" We've, we've got. For eighteen years ... "
- is likely to end up in advertisements for the Pan di Stelle or pandoro. They will ask you to exclaim" It 's divine! "- And someone there might regret. Not only that, Lavazza and Nescafe are arguing for a commercial set in your part - Yes, in Heaven. If you are, you request an official. Risks to spend New Year's Eve with Bonolis, Clooney and Canalis, annoyed because your mom is younger and prettier than her.
- about Mary is wonderful, but a little ' out of fashion. Think that has not even sold the exclusive first photos of your Who has not created a group on Facebook Fan of Jesus.
- Joseph, the skilled artisan and your father on earth, will be called Pino, Pinuccio, Gius, Puccio, Peppe and Beppe - tells you that if a n'intende. "From Pinuccio snc & Son - joinery and doors" (given the time).
- someone will say that Father Christmas - secular, casinos and overweight - is more TV than you. Everyone can interpret it: just a red hat and the white boat. To imitate the other hand, we should go back humble. And this, in Italy, no longer in fashion.
forgot. Do not wait for the Magi. They are non-EU without a visa and were subject to refoulement.

Sample Of Letterof Inquiry
This tale
So here's yesterday 'was Thanksgiving, the famous Thanksginving. In theory it would be a party where riunirsoi with loved ones and then thank the Lord for what we received in terms of affection, joy, achievement and so on. in this life. In practice, and 'legalized slaughter a united and an opportunity to eat to bursting. The appearance of the killings and 'quite clear and confirmed by the mysteriously vanished in this period of wild turkeys that normally infest a stretch of road I walk to go to IBM. Some say that these turkeys (Turkeys) are smart and hide. In my opinion it is going to hide ', but in our outstretched belly spasm dall'abbuffata. The fact that these turkeys have abnormal size no longer 'news. For some time I stopped thinking about how much GMO eat every day (which allows me to culinary ventures even when I go to exotic countries like Egypt, but then one day cagotto not tell you no leverage). I discovered that the day of Thanksgiving, good American families make a frugal breakfast, skip lunch, after that 'the binge begin around 4 pm and continues indefinitely. Another noteworthy practice is the fact that you do not eat the cake immediately after the regular meal ... just 'cause there is! So expect a few hours and then down 'with the shot (sweet) of grace. The Pumpkin Pie Worthy of note, that 'the pumpkin pie, sweet typical of Thanksgiving (not for Halloween, even if the parallel a bit' uneasy: what happened to the avalanche of pumpkins that have been used as masks 26 days ago and decorations? themselves this question while eating at the Pumpkin Pie Thankksgiving not 'nice). You tell ': Oh well' we eat like pigs at Christmas. True. But guys have no idea what the Americans are able to eat. Believe me and 'awesome. Although I must say that this last Thanksgiving for the palm of the more 'voracious' round as a Belgian friend, with clear problems of metabolism seen eating like an elephant and is 'more' lean on me! Finally
two thoughts: the first is my first Thanksgiving, when in California we were invited by our friend Adrian to his home with his family. The binge there 'was, but also the sense of sharing and hospitality' were very strong. Truly an unforgettable experience.
It seems nice to conclude with the main protagonist of the feast, or turkey. And what better way than on recalling the good old fable of the turkey inductivist?
There was a turkey on a farm which was brought to the food is at 9 am. The turkey looked so
that any day of the week, there was the sun or the weather, the food was being brought at the same time.
From these repeated observations and identical in all weather conditions and which were common for all the days of the week, when Turkey applied the inductive method formulated the following theory: "give me the food is at 9 am."
However, on the eve of Christmas (Thanksgiving would be more 'appropriate, ndm), turkey ascertained at his expense the dismantling of this rule: the turkey was killed and served at the table.

What Are Painful Skin Tags A Sign Of
that something is wrong
Por algunos dias he Tenida over a maldito el pensamiento y el recuerdo de el mensaje y los revolucinarios What en el mundo. Oh well my English is not too detached from trips to the Iberian peninsula, but what can you do, my thoughts are focused on language recently another language (with Pinyin and go!).
So there was talk of that, or if you wish, Commander Ernesto Guevara, called Che. That (in Italian) and "That" is the equivalent (well, now you understand why I wrote "in Italian" before) "man" in English when I am not mistaken. Okay enough of rubbish. The point is that I saw recently (the) film with Soderbergh Benicio del Toro (beautiful interpretation, the best part 1 part 2) and of course being here in the States than in other countries can lead to a more reflections ... let's say ... compared to the original red Che Europe, Cuba, the revolution and what it means to be revolutionary in general. For it is not that in his time that he was the idol of the masses here, and even today is not as popular in our country. Even If Hollywood and fashion in general idolize him, ordinary people are a bit more skeptical about this community (on the other hand, the word communism here is a kind of blasphemy). Yeah. Fashion. And here the real point of the post (sorry for the long introduction, after a while that I write tend to be verbose). (Yes, I realize, I used the word prolix, NDG) . Watch this video and understand what I'm talking about.
Point one: I absolutely agree with the final comment DiRiviera, or will come on earth as it is called (if you listen to the decision of the commentator is impossible to understand): Che Guevara is the king of marketing. And this would go crazy of anger if he were still alive. And I think this is a cultural victory of capitalism against communism. I try to explain. Although many people use or exhibit the image of Che because they really share the ideals of freedom (freedom from a bit different from the professed U.S. of A), fight against social injustice to overturn oppressive and corrupt system, there are two drawbacks: The first is that there are as many if not most people who exhibit the same image without absolutely nothing about it just because it is cool or because it is fashionable. Secondly, because even "aware" flag t-shirt or buy it from someone. And that someone in 90% of cases an entrepreneur dedicated (by definition) to profit. Maybe that cap with the image of Che has been produced in some countries less developed than a child exploited worker. And the circle is closed. Even when the image of Che is used to promote its ideals, who will definitely benefit those ideals, that way of seeing the world, is exactly the enemy. In short, capitalism 1 - 0 communism. Ball in the center. And given the history, the final whistle. I personally find it amazing how the capitalist system finds a way to marketization, commodify anything. I'm talking about both the model itself that its degeneration, which seem to be becoming more politically acceptable. A commodity that things (the stuff Pirandello) is obvious. But do not stop there. It commodified persons (or part of them, think of the organ market). Do not think of prostitution, but to work. The slaves (this is why we call things by their name) that collect tomatoes in Puglia to those who clean the gardens or working in restaurants in the U.S. of A, especially near the imaginary borders, even if it is not in this city is missing. We commodify thought (the word copyright and patent tell you anything?). It commodified emotions (and here we are talking about television in general, Reality Show in front of the list). Che or Mao or anyone can not be commodified and should not be surprising. Checchi (emphasis is important) it says the video, even Hitler is commodified. Think about how many films about the Nazi were made. And for many of them the word "art" would be abused, and served only to make money (this in a nutshell). All
to generate profit. Here in the States
the centrality of money is impressive. At the end of the day, after all the talk, after all the considerations, each really matters here is Mr. greenback. Evident even when not explicitly revealed.
second point. Strange that two refugees in the United States speak ill of the countries from which they escaped. That said, these two people have shared the points. Mao, to unify party and free China from Nippo, has certainly made many unforgivable things, you know. The fact that you could not play music or listen to American or western Cuba is (was?) Wrong. I understand the hatred toward Western imperialism in general, what does (what?) Notes written by the brothers here in Harlem and played at woodstock? mah.
third point. Che Guevara presided over many executions after the victory of the Cuban revolution. It was wrong. Of course I realize that not everyone can be Gandhi, but killing is always wrong. Plus she always gave me to think about the concept of armed revolution. They are a very long time advocate of liberation theology (Boff, Gutierrez Romero) but the idea of \u200b\u200bthe monk with machine guns always made me feel uncomfortable (I do not remember the exact words in Italian).
course to pontificate on these things are the commentators of a country that is the only one who dropped the atomic bomb and leads to all others who have it or want it, which is still engaged in a unilateral war built on lies, which resulted in Guantanamo and so really does think about the history of the fingers, the moon and beam.
Well, I guess I forgot to write something, but this post is already looking longish. Let me know what you think. It 's been a few years from high school passions strength (Pablo), but I'm still not at a total disillusioned idealism (which expression!), then it would be out of fashion in times obamiani. And you?
Hasta la victoria siempre!
PS: Speaking of idols revolutionary, I was very saddened to hear from my Mexican friend that many former members of the EZLN, now that the struggle has to be interrupting some time, have become a social problem, as alcoholics. A bit of soreness, but the fact that the EZLN has abandoned weapons to use diplomatic tools it seemed a sign of maturity, "Revolutionary" (dare a reformer here?)

Ufc Excercise Attaches To Door
dint of digging I found myself in England
Well, it is a some that do not update my blog. Events of some importance were crossed by this and the other (I am a bit confused as to which is which for me these days) the ocean. We'll talk, fear not. But on this evening so, a little bit but not too cold, with snow on the Tercel, which was a little loose and a bit has frozen and will never be away, and the wind for a day, he decided to strike (fortunately ), my thoughts travel to oil. And you say, "Well, finally a bit of meat on the fire, Iraq, Alaska, Bush, Palin (drill baby drill, do you remember? Here if they are already forgetting), Daje Giambo! (For Roman friends) !!!!". But no. My attention is focused on a well-known superstitious Italian oil, and its latest tool in the extraction of oil from its portfolio: the Trivela. Yes, after several months spent to enchant all the fans on the football field (but only those in training), Quaresma goes free on loan to Chelsea. Recall that el Trivela was the hit of the summer transfer market, 18 million euro last second to complete the list of Mourinho, the icing on the cake all to break down the flanks. Well, now I hear the song of "crocodiles" who did the Gialappa's the players who ended his career or if they were going to play in some other country, and I remember my prophecy when it was purchased and forecast a bright future at Van Der Meyde. Sometimes he is always right (which seems then the most successful national sport in Italy recently) is almost boring, it leaves a bitter aftertaste on the laughter, as the beats of the Deaf and Gassman in the "Great War". Quaresma I want to remember it, with the first Trivela in the opening match those goals and who had shouted the chairman of the honest (and slaves of the evil eye) the "phenomenon." BUT (there are quite a veltroni, eh) with the chairs of the thousands of forums that has been done and that only he knew sco (a) Vare stadium. Football is a business, but still manages to give us magical fairy tales such as those of Ricardo, that touch us deeply. Do not forget even when (?!?), hang up his boots to devote himself to the family: an excavation company. A thousand there ...
PS: I published this post aware of the possible (even probable) that el Trivela provide super performance against Juventus in the Champions League as it is now at Chelsea. Having said that I touch, but I could not resist.
