2008: the things that changed my life
I have never done before a rank of what happened to me on a past year after the new year's eve. I thiught it was nice to do but quite...I mean everybody expects you to do so and it's simply not how I work. But this year (especially for the fact that I'd do ANYTHING to procrastinate my rendez-vous with the Functional Grammar book) I thought it would be nice. 2008 hasn't been THAT special and I think 2009 won't change much (I'm waiting for 2010 'cause I got a special theory about it so this 2009 will be a sort of "waiting-room") but it's nice to see that even in the overall darkness, some things definitely HAVE changed my life.
I don't feel grown or anything. I don't feel wiser or prettier or stronger or smarter. But I hope one day I'll wake up and feel that I'm not the person of the day before. Guess what, maybe it will happen someday.
So here it is, a sort of meme I created, you can copy it or not if you want it but that was definitely the shape I wanted my rank to be. Because writing about it would be too long (365days onlivejournal, guess what, I've allready been there) and just not writing about it would be too lame.

Un giorno credi
(Edoardo Bennato)
un giorno credi di essere giusto
e di essere un grande uomo
in un altro ti svegli e devi
cominciare da zero
situazioni che stancamente
si ripetono senza tempo
una musica per pochi amici
come tre anni fa
a questo punto non devi lasciare
qui la lotta e' piu' dura ma tu
se le prendi di santa ragione
insisti di piu'
sei testardo questo e' sicuro
quindi ti puoi salvare ancora
metti tutta la forza che hai
nei tuoi fragili nervi
quando ti alzi e ti senti distrutto
fatti forza e va incontro al tuo giorno
non tornare sui tuoi soliti passi
basterebbe un istante
mentre tu sei l'assurdo in persona
e ti vedi gia' vecchio e cadente
raccontare a tutta la gente
del tuo falso incidente
// One day you think you're right
and you're a great man
I another you wake up and have to
start back from nothing.
Situations which tiringly
Repeat themselves without time
A music for a few friends
like three years ago
At this point you don't have to give up
here the fight is harder but you
if you get heavily kicked
must insist more.
You're a headstrong that's sure
so you can still save yourself
Put all the strenght you have
in your fragile nerves.
And when you stand up and feel drained
find the strenght and face your day
don't turn back on your same footsteps
it would take just a second.
But it's you the personified absurd
and you see yourself allready old and wrinkles
while you're telling to everyone
about your strange accident. //
And thank you.
