Louisiana: A man walked into a Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer was $15. Question: if someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?

The discussion was like:

Me: how can you decide if the TV is right or wrong?
Them: we can check on the Internet.
Me: and how can you decide if that specific website is right or wrong?
Them: We check on another website.
Me: and how can you decide if the other website is right or wrong?
Them: We will check on a book.
Me: And how can you decide if the book is right or wrong?
Them: We ask our parents.

At this specific time i really risked to make a terrible mistake, destroying their parents’ perfection. Just a second before saying the terrible sentence i figured out their parents killing myself on a giant campfire.

Me: Right! Ask your parents! … Lets talk about something else…

The believe in:

Talking and burning bushes
bread, in some circumstances, it becames meat
eaing that meat is not cannibalism
telling what happens in their bedroom to a an old sexual-abstinent is a good thing
there are books written by sovrannatural entities
there are or there were pregnant virgins

They force their children to:

tell their secrets to an old sexual-abstinent
expecially those secrets related to masturbation
learn songs without any sense
learn stories about paranormal facts and to believe in them as they were true

So, while in the US they sto the adoption to an atheist couple, we allow this kind of people to adopt children. It’s a scandal.

I won’t tell you about his bio or his career because you can find them somewhere else.
I only say: “My name is Danny Crane”.

First reason to love him is this great performance with Joe Jackson on a Pulp’s cover.

The second reason to adore him is this great scene from Star Trek. Maybe is the worst fight scene that a camera has made immortal.

But the third reason is this wonderful commercial he was in. Really great.

Getting fit

I’ll restart my aikido training on next monday. If i won’t be able to get to the dojo every week, i’ll go running or swimming at least twice a week.

Studying japanese

I’ll try to complete the JapanesePod101.com’s Beginner’s Course so i will be able to enroll to a conversation course before next year. I hope sooner then that.

Improve my shooting and editing tecniques

I really need to improve my shooting and editing tecniques. Maybe i’ll take a course. Ok with amateur’s video but i need to know enough about tecniques. To arrange something good i need to be professional.

Raise up my incoming

Every year is the same problem but this year i have no excuses. To earn more i need to work more and better.

Read at least fifty book during the year

It will be very hard to read so many books but i’ll try to get close to the target.

Writing in the wrong window is the most frustrating thing that can happen to a digital citizen. Every user experience can be corrupted by this danger.

I experienced this problem several times and the results were very bad. I sent to to hell the wrong friend on msn, and i made quests to be failed on World of Warcraft, only because the guy was offended to be called “scary ass”. And everything happened because i wrong typed and i used the public chat instead the private one.

I really believe that writing in the wrong window is the biggest threat on the net for us, long time chatters.

If you don’t believe in me,take a look here.

«There are priests and religious people who are prosecuted and deprivated of their freedom because they are christians»

Right. If they stop to be christians the church won’t take their freedom anymore…

I know that can be incredible but i swear that at the beginning of the nineties we didn’t have the cell phone, our rooms were plenty of TDK tapes with freaky homemade compilations, posters and nobody knows why our diaries were so full of crap that we couldn’t even close them. They were plenty of silly thoughts, passions, platonic loves and so on…

Th nineties were a bunch of wannabes, patchworked portrait of a generation who tried do find its sense, when myspace was unthinkable. There’s someone who had been wearing barbour, levi’s 501 and Dr.Martens shoes for ten years, with long hair, with a white t-shirt under another shirt and scratched trousers. He was maybe trying to look like Kurt Cobain… Then all “the Crown” clones, with leather jackets to the hills, late-night nightmares if met early in the morning. Those ones with a stretchy tshirt and funky hair who used to slep all the week to get up on saturday night to get to the disco. And the real wannabes who used to wear formal during the day, casual for dinner, and as skater during the night. Lolita-girls with diamonded minishorts and boybands. Trash TV and trash music… And freaks. Because there are always freaks. They are the hard core of the twentieth century and i think we will never ged rid of them.

I’m not talking about the superflashing Google pin, all those retarded stickers, the very very exclusive and yet popular engravement on your iPhone. No MOO cards, man!

I’m talking about the most desired thong worn during the LeWeb3 ‘07 party at La Scala on Tuesday, December the 11th, by a very attractive girl that decided to sell it on eBay for a good cause (I’m sure some of the people who attended the party still remember about it). Further details about the destination of the money will be posted in the next days, but I’m pretty sure that it doesn’t really matter to all those guys (and girls, why not?) who are now warming up their fingers to click compulsively on the “buy” button.

Perhaps someone will complain about the bad image she is giving of tech girls, but at least Loïc Le Meur is not involved this time and he will be happy that he won’t need to apologize with anyone…

Don’t be shy, and place your offer, it’s for a good cause!

Nothing more than this video can describe how people don’t understand valuable food. This is a comedy but you know that’s not so far from reality if you have ever been working in a restaurant…
