I'm angry… I'm really angry.

Think about it… you have to realize something, but from the beginning seems that entire universe works against you, how did you feel?

Well, this was my life during last week. This is the chronicle of a stressing and frazzling week

Day 01 – Monday: An unexpected call

My father receive a telephone call… well, no matter; my father get hundreds of calls per days, but if he say that the call is for me the things begin to become strange.

The call is from a associate of my father, doctor Claudio Millia; he say me he's organizing an event for the "National day of Alzheimer disease" and ask me if I want manage a stand for disseminate informative material on the disease and on the association.

At university I studied deeply the disease (and did my degree thesis just on this subject) and even if the event don't count any remuneration I accept, being also a good chance to make me visible for future works.

Day 02 – Tuesday: Thinking…

Normal day of work today. This month I have less hours because during summer's months I replaced for long a sick workmate. I'm beginning to foreshadow an action course. I must ask the town administration in order to have all the authorizations needed for this kind of event, the stand's use, and the public soil. Moreover I need to find some people to assist me during the event. We'll see tomorrow.

Day 03 – Wednesday: Someone need to pass again geography!

In the morning I asked the authorizations to town administration. My inquire was protocol… all should be all' right. Doctor Millia called me today and said me a strange thing. The materials we need was not been sent yet from the main office of Milano.

The reason?

They said that don't need several day to trip from Milano to Rome.

Rome?!?

Did they said ROME?!?!?

Are they stupid or what?!?

Did they know Italy's geography?

Nicosia is not near Rome… is in Sicily!!!

Look at the chart.

1) Starting point of the material

2) Destination supposed by the idiots that sent the material

3) Real destination

Totally idiot!!!

After our complaints, material was finally sent. Hoping it come for time.

Day 04 – Thursday: Shindark in love

Half morning spent to obtain all the authorizations. Though the awful Italian bureaucracy I managed to pass nimbly from an office to another fulfilling every request.

It's time to execute my diabolical plan.

I need people for assist me with the stand; the first I will ask shall be a workmate of mine, a gorgeous girl I'm aiming to date. Unfortunately the beauty live in a near city, so there are little chance she could join me in the event, but this is a mere excuse to ask her for a date later.

She seemed interested (in the event… or maybe in me)…

we'll see, even I don't rely too much on her presence

Day 05 – Friday: Aching hands

Material is not come yet. Deadline is growing near and I have not found anyone for help me. I asked already to five persons, but they refused. No problem, I was aware they did it, I'm keeping my best options for the last; I have at least other five valid names.

Talking about other, today I have barely sensibility in my hands, cause yesterday boxing training at the gym. Normally I train with a box sack pretty hard, so I know how strong I can hit before hurt myself. Gym's sack, instead, is so soft that I can hit full strength without feel any pain, but later the hands sting pretty bad.

Day 06 – Saturday: The impossible

Thanks to the demonic blood I inherited from my mother (it's a long story) my hands are totally healed but another disaster erupts. All the people I was hoping to give me a hand are out of town. Two for work matters, one have a grandmother on the verge of death, another is busy with a relocate and the last…oh my god… the last is departing to Lourdes… LOURDES!!!

Do even the virgin mary is planning against me?!?

Material is finally come and I must go to another city to take it, are 70 km only, but we have not great transportations way, and 70 km of curves are long and annoying.

I took the material. Those stupid Milanese tramps send less material we need, but should be enough.

Back to home I'm too tired to go out, so I spend the evening playing with the Xbox and go sleeping early… and tomorrow I shall do all myself.

Day 07 – Sunday: The end

Though I must do all alone the event went pretty well. I spent several hours giving materials, speaking about the disease, putting together and dismantling the stand. At least… doing my work.

But… why do I feel this anger?

Well… in the beginning my dream's girl sent me a message saying me she could not join the event (but I'm noto going to give up, sweetie).

I'm more enraged against the Great Will of the Great Universe (I love Excel Saga -lol-) for combined a series of events forcing me to do all the work alone (since even the association did not gave me any help)

But the worst is… while I was fixing the stand I lost of sight for a second the box with the nails… and someone passing stole it!!!

AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUURRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

This is toooooo much!

I don't care if I must blame destiny, a superior's will, just rotten luck or god!!!

I WANT BACK MY NAILS!!!

-lol-

Today one of the fathers of italian TV is dead.

Mike Bongiorno (real name Michael Nicholas Salvatore, born in New York in 26 May 1924) died in Montecarlo cause heart attack.

So, After the great Jackson, another Michael left us.

Mike Bongiorno was maybe the greatest showman of our TV since 1955 and his telequizs grew at least four generations of Italians, including mine.

Goodbye, Mike...

I greet you with your oldest and most famous motto: ALLEGRIAAAAA!!!

Hi, with first of September the holidays are officially closed and life returns to usual routines. Actually I came back to home on 28 August, but I waited some days to blog because I had to determine a personal record, and I did it. During summer 2009 from 1 June to 31 August I have not pick any fight with no one. Now, you must know I am a kind and quiet guy, but for some mysterious reasons people tend to don't leave me alone, so in the last 4 or 5 years I've forced at least once for summer to fight some idiot. Summer 2008 was even freaky: one night, while I was on way house after a party I've ran into a car crushed against a wall. I stopped my car and ask the victim of the accident if he was in need of help and if he called for police but the guy shout me insults and attack me. Thanks to my ability in martial arts (five years of Ju Jitsu… then I broke my left knee and quitted) and a bit of luck I was able to stand him until the arrival of the police.

Nonsense!!!

However, this year this awful trail of fights was cut and I could enjoy a carefree summer. I opted for "smart holidays"; actually I was outdoor for almost a month spending only 500 euros.

How?

Simply scrounging hospitality here and there from parents, familiars and friends. Especially I spent a week in Toscana in a luxurious agrotourism only sleeping, eating and bathing in the pool… all free! I never will thank enough my great friend Simo Violini (the owner of the structure) for such wonderful vacation.

Today the work started again. My student was so happy to have me on the first day after the holiday. Me too was happy to see them… so I bless them with a no-stop six hours lesson.

Now I want share with you the movie of a fantastic joke done by some friends to a guy named Carlo Martone. They often organize Texas Hold'Em tournaments and the joke plot was the simplest possible: they set the cards to give a poker of aces to Martone on the flop and a royal flush to his opponent on the river.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5H3z7DYZkc

Language and subtitles are obviously in Italian, but the joke is really well played. You can't miss the face of Mortone when the dealer flip the river… priceless!!!

During last 15 seconds of movie there's even a slowmotion on his astonished facial expression.

Well… see you around on gamespot.

Once again we passed 15 august. Sadly, summer is coming to an end and my beloved warm weather shall go away for another year...

So, let's see to maximize the last hot days.

Actually i'm packing my luggage after spent some days with my parents (we don't see each other for months), day after tomorrow I get on a plane for nord Italy going to some old friends of mine.

I'm ready for 10 days of total destruction!!!

However this summer went pretty smoothly. Finally I got a fixed job, so I could enjoy only a month of holiday, but the best result is that so far no one tryed to kill me (it's a long story).

Well, see you whenI will be back...

wish me godspeed

Bye!!!

Hi all...

just like i said some days ago i'll go away today for holidays.

Since i've not internet access in my sea house i'll was not online for a while.

I wish good holidays for you all on gamespot.

See you soon...

Dario

Hi, all...

This day had begun in the wrost possible scenario of ever. My NEW computer bought only one month ago show some problems. AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!! It can't be!!!

Probably the mess is in the hard disk, but first to call the seller i want to try reinstalling windows (the version installed one month ago never seemed work properly) and if the problem persist... my seller is a dead baldy man!!!

A curiosity... during my first pc crash of the morning I was on gamespot looking the blog of Didi Cardoso, maybe my computer does not like her? (kidding)

Let's talk about other... the afternoon was dedicated to... shopping. I must take my mother to dress shop(s). When my mother shopping the medium time is from 2 to 6 hours... we go out at 3:30 PM and came back to home at 8:10 PM... (AUUUGGGHHHHHHHH!!!)

At least the trip don't go free for my mummy, I took the chance and get some nice dress for summer ("Mummy... if you don't buy me that i'll leave you here"... always works). I've finished to work for now and in a couple of days i'll move for sea (i live on mountain) for holiday. Sure... Sicily it's not California (i'll get there a day or another) but in I think my sun, shores (and girls) are hot enough.

Again, from the blog of Didi Cardoso i saw she's complaining about a lot of rain. Even here the summer took a lot of time to come. Real hot weather show itself only a week ago and i was really hangry. Last years we are on 32 celsius already on half may... it's simply inconceivable had 22-24 degrees on june!

Luckilly my beloved 40+ are finally come to shine over my life.

Now... some people judge me a little crazy, but I really like high temperature (after every lunch i'm used to go to work out in a public stadium under the sun... well maybe crazy a little...)

However... when finally my mother quit the shopping and we're ready to go home... we met some friends whose chat take another 30 mins. All when my pc technician friend (Piero "the berserk"...I'll talk about him sooner of later... just say that the surname had not anything in common with gatsu, he deserved it for some... berserk behaviours) was waiting for me out of my house to give a look at my ill PC.

Back to home... and almost killed by the berserk... another task. Go to see a volleyball match instead of my father that was on a work meeting. Practically, a friend of my father invite him to the match because he was one of the players, so... "Dario, why don't you go in my behalf?"...

Sure... if only I recalled the face of your friend should be better, don't you think.

By the way, the match was pretty entertaining... it's remember me my youth days.

Long long time ago i was a big fan of local volley team... maybe TOO MUCH big fun...

I quitted to follow the team when some... ehm... accidents occurred. C'mon... I've only beated up a referee... poured paint on him and the opponent team bus and destroyed the referee car (Among the others we took a road sign and inserted it trough car's windscreen).

All we can have a bad day, no? (referee's car damage about 6000 euros, he got some scratches, but deserved much more, i swear)

It's all for today...

Me and my strange pc greetings you...

Happy gaming and see you...

Dario

P.S.

I hate to admit, but i'm pretty wimp with internets stuff...so... there is some kind soul that can explain me how to load images in this blog... i'll really glad your help. Thanks!!!

I know Americans are not interested in soccer, but at the moment here in Europe there is the European Cup Germany 2008. Tonight, after 120 minutes of suffering, the italian team lost to Spain by Penalty Kicks.

What can I say? The cup goes bad from the beginning. Italians lost their first match and tied the second. The following victory with the France (go back to eat slugs... and vive la france!!!) qualified ours men for the quarter of finals, but Italian team really played very bad from the beginning... so...

GO TO WORK... MILLIONS EURO'S ç°é°é*=

In Italy there is many trash to collect and many field to plow... try to do an useful job, since soccer it's not made for you... PIGS!!!

Ok, i gave vent...

Today in Magnacarta a °*§?ing yason killed one of my favourite characters... rest in peace Lehas, i'll missing you.

Sadly the final day of The World Ends With You is drawing near every moment... i'm really curious about the last boss of the game.

Today i've tried the online multiplayer of Soldier of Fortune - Payback. The story mode of the game really sucks, but online the game it's pretty. (I don't play much online, the last was bleach on DS... i'm waiting for Dark Souls)

Ah, i've managed to clean the trousers from the rampaging cheese of the other day, but for the tablecloth there isn't nothing to do... rest in peace, tablecloth. My table will be not the same without you.

Goodnight and see you soon...

Dario

Ok, today I was bored and especially I don't wanted go out for dinner, so the great idea: PIADINA DINNER!

(for not italian people, the Piadina is a dish similar to a pizza. It's a sheet of pasta heated by a pan and stuffed with various cheese, hams ecc. Very Tasty)

So i called some friends, in particular a married couple i've not seen in a while cause the birth of your lovely daughter, and invited them for the evening. (italian dinner hour is about 20:30)

Friends that responded to this call of duty (in Italy eating it's a serious matter): 6, included the married couple and baby (not included in the final count).

After a lot of beer, gallons of cola (it's my fuel... just like Franky of One-Piece) and bad talking about the last movies of Hulk (shameful), last Shimalayan's (really bad... and I'm a big fan of him), Comunistes (Die all...SCUM!); it's finally time to heat the flame.

Battle position: Six italian hungry pigs (me + My friends) in the kitchen around the table; two pan on fire at the same time (the piadina go heathed, then stuffed, then re-heated).

Things went smoothly until the tragedy erupt.

At the piada number 9, I took the pan from the cooker to serve the dish, but when i stab it with the fork a stream of burning cheese come from it. The cheese got me on my hand burning me; for the pain i've lost the pan that landed on the table where it melted the plastic tablecloth making a big hole in it!

In addition the mortal cheese enden even on my new trousers.

The moral is... Beware to Hot Cheese. :)

Let talk of other. In the last time i was busy playing with some games, for example: The Witcher. Really a great game, technically awesome, splendid dialogues, smooth battle action and an RPG gameplay really satisfacting... only a question... how could Geralt to conclude with every female NPC of the game so easily?

Damn you, white haires, why don't you suffer and bleed for women like all us common mortals? :evil:

Lately i've retake a game i've left alone for a while: Magnacarta (PS2). Critic was no sweet with this game; in my opinion it's not too bad. Ok, the battle system it's a pain in the ass, but the story, charachters, enviroment and music are pretty good (talking as RPG hardcore fan, my first was Zelda 3 and Chrono Trigger on SNES and I've never stopped to play this genre, it's not so bad like several people describe it).

But the real Hot Spot of this period is: The world ends with you!!!

Really, i've lost hope long time ago to play something of so original ad particular. Two Thumbs Up :lol:

Well, goodnight and happy gaming.

See you!
