Good Times

Well well well, i've been no writing for a long time but now i came back!
I had so much to study this month, exam session at University so I had no time to write or something to write ;)
Apart studies I think it's a good period, Im in a positive mood and I smile about everything. I spend good times with friends, chillin' and freakin' out, and snowboarding too. Two weekends ago I went to Campo Catino, a little resort near Rome, where I had snowboarding for 2 days doing a little snowpark homemade with our structures. It was sunny all weekend long, 15°C and a lot of snow.. some beers, sandwiches and fun!

 

Yesterday I did my linguistics exam of this year, yeah! Now I feel a little bit free :D I just have to do another one exam of history, then I'll be free for some time!

I'll go to Verona in 10days to visit my best friend Pier and spend some time with him and our sista Ali, and then to celebrate his graduation!!! It's going to be a good month ;)

Stay tuned

Vecchi pensieri..

Life is too short,
grudges are a waste of a perfect happiness,
laugh when you can,
apologize when you should,
and let go of what you can't change.

Love deeply,
and forgive quickly,
take chances,
give everything,
and have no regrets.

Life is too short to be unhappy.
You have to take the good with the bad,
smile when you're sad,
love what you have got,
and always remember what you had.

Always forgive,
never forget,
learn from your mistakes,
but never regret.

People change,
and things go wrong,
but always remember,
life goes on.

Chiunque abbia scritto questa cosa è un genio.
Ti fa proprio riflettere su ciò che hai fatto nella vita, cosa stai facendo e cosa vorrai fare.
Quanti di noi ascoltano storie di persone che hanno lasciato tutto per inseguire i propri sogni, perchè erano ambiziosi di fare qualcosa e non gli importava di quanta fatica gli avrebbe impiegato, perchè la forza di volontà era l'unica cosa che contava. E li pensiamo: "Certo che non ho proprio fatto nulla nella vita, sempre monotona e piena di routine".
Certe volte di fermi a riflettere.. Ma perchè devo vivere in questo modo? Ma io non sto bene con me stesso, io voglio una svolta nella mia vita, questa routine mi ha scocciato. E alla fine non fai nulla, e arriva il giorno in cui ti accorgi che non è veramente cambiato nulla. E' vero che la vita è una lotta continua, bisogna faticare per avere dei risultati e le cose non piovono dal cielo. Non possiamo sempre vivere nella fantasia dove vediamo un mondo rosa e fiori.
Però io credo che i sogni nel cassetto non sono una cosa irraggiungibile. Molti pensano ciò, perchè la strada per arrivarci può essere veramente faticosa e sembra irragiungibile. Ma in realtà non è così, impossibile is nothing... Se si vuole una cosa veramente, con tanto sforzo e soprattutto FORZA DI VOLONTA' la si può raggiungere! Non bisogna mai porsi dei limiti.
E' vero che la realtà non è un film, e non è tutto così facile. Ognuno ha situazioni familiari ed economiche diverse, da questo punto di vista purtroppo non siamo tutti uguali. Se ci guardiamo intorno vediamo gente che ha veramente tutto, e in ogni caso non è felice, non riesce a rendersi conto della fortuna che ha di vivere in un certo modo. Tutti pensiamo sempre a "chi sta meglio di noi", ma non vi siete mai guardati intorno e pensato a chi sta peggio di voi? Nel mondo ci sono famiglie povere, genitori che lavorano dalla mattina alla sera per sfamare la propria famiglia, ma ringraziano dio che riescono anche solo a continuare a vivere. E quanta gente esiste al mondo che invece ha tutto e continua a lamentarsi? Guardando sempre più in alto e ancora più in alto possibile. E non rendendosi conto di quanto è "fortunato", e come dicono.. "se i soldi non portano la felciità, figuriamoci la povertà".
La maggioranza degli esseri umani hanno una visione pessimistica della vita. Mi spiegate il perchè? Sarà perchè non ci basta mai quello che abbiamo, e più abbiamo e più vogliamo! Ma non si può continuare a vivere da viziati. Quando sarà il momento di accontentarsi di ciò che si ha? Di avere una visione più ottimistica della vita?
Spesso e volentieri le cose ti passano davanti al naso, e tu neanche te ne accorgi. Ci rendiamo conto di quanta fortuna abbiamo o avevamo, solo quando la perdiamo. Questo è perchè la gente non è capace ad apprezzare ciò che ha. Viviamo come se avessimo una benda sugli occhi, non vediamo "veramente" ciò che ci capita. Quante volte vi è capitato che facevate una cosa bene e nessuno vi faceva un complimento, e quando la facevate sbagliata tutti che vi venivano contro? Non capisco perchè la gente riesce a vedere solo le cose brutte della vita, e quelle belle le tratta come qualcosa di normale e non entusiasmante. Come quando scopri di tenere veramente ad una persona solo quando la perdi, e quando la avevi neanche ti accorgevi di che "tesoro" avevi accanto a te.
Bisogna imparare ad apprezzare ogni minima cosa della vita, per poter raggiungere la felicità. Se guardiamo sempre al peggio e alle cose brutte, non la troveremo mai! Sono le piccole cose, quelle che ci fanno sorridere, andare avanti e vivere di speranza.

Anche leggendo questa poesia, o questo detto.. come volete chiamarlo, a me fa riflettere su quanto è veramente corta la vita, sul fatto che non bisogna sprecarla, vivere ogni istante fino in fondo, fare ciò che non hai fatto. Come se ogni giorne fosse l'ultimo. Perchè quando poi arriveremo a 80 anni (se ci arriveremo) quello che diremo sarà: Sono passati 80 anni e neanche me ne sono accorto.

Songs describes feelings

 Pearl Jam - Just Breathe

Yes I understand that every life must end, aw huh,..
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw huh,..
I’m a lucky man to count on both hands
The ones I love,..

Some folks just have one,
Others they got none, aw huh,..

Stay with me,..
Let’s just breathe.

Practiced are my sins,
Never gonna let me win, aw huh,..
Under everything, just another human being, aw huh,..
Yeh, I don’t wanna hurt, there’s so much in this world
To make me bleed.

Stay with me,..
You’re all I see.

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn’t now I’m a fool you see,..
No one knows this more than me.
As I come clean.

I wonder everyday
as I look upon your face, aw huh,..
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take, aw huh,..
Nothing you would take,..
Everything you gave.

Did I say that I need you?
Oh, Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn’t now I’m a fool you see,..
No one know this more than me.
As I come clean.

Nothing you would take,..
everything you gave.
Hold me till I die,..
Meet you on the other side.

Annetts Never Die

A long time passed from the last time I wrote something.
Well, I came back! :)
After a long month out of Rome. Starting from a week in Dolomiti Alps in the north of Italy, then my country Poland for Christmas until 7th of january and lastly Merate (between Milano and Lecco) for a weekend.
Now I came back home, hope to change something and no return to the daily routine. At the end of january Ill start my exam session at university, so it's time to study seriously! I have to do at least 2 exams, maybe 3.


Anyway, my week on Dolomiti was very nice! Always sunny days, met a lot of friends, only the snow was quite icy.. but the snowpark was ok anyway. I spent good days snowboarding, learnt some fs 1 on flat and tried to jump higher on kickers. Now Im waiting to the next shredding days to improve my skills!

Then I travelled with my parents by car until Poland. I go there every year for Christmas and New Year, to stay with all my family, meet some old friends and have fun in different ways ;)

This is my cousin in the last picture, she passed all Christmas days chatting with her boyfriend by SMS, hahaha it's amazing! How a person could stay all day long with phone in its hands?

Good news during Xmas were on 26th when we went snowboarding in a place close to my family's house. But the bad news was that the snowpark wasn't already done. So I enjoyed only the slopes, no way.

How was my New Year? Well, actually I don't remember it so good. I can only say that I stayed in Wroclaw with my friend Ula and her boyfriend, we were walking and drinking through the citycentre with lots of people everywhere and a concert that I don't remember. I think that the last thought I had is when we were drinking on a wall and then we moved to come back home, it was about 11.20pm. After that.. the BLACK HOLE! I woke up dressed and the world was turning around me hahahaha, baaaad! Some people told me that I tried to dance with music of my phone and I felt down to the ground and then I went sleeping at 00.30am after the New Year.. nice!

Staying 2 weeks or more in Poland, I also had good time at the skatepark with my friend Wojtek, 2 days shredding before leave to Bergamo, some shopping and cinema days :D

On 7th of january I took a flight to Bergamo, going to Merate to visit a special person. I stayed there for 3 days. The time wasn't so good, always grey sky and raining a little bit, but I had fun anyway.. The small cities there are so nice, a lot of ancient buildings.. I like it! The nightlife wasn't enough lively, there aren't big places where to party.

This is a puppy of Balto, the wolfhound hero u know?

Merry Christmas

Well, I wish to everybody a Happy Christmas. Spend good days with your families, smiling, drinking, eating and being happy.
Right now Im in Poland, in my mothercountry :] Im spending Christmas with my family and there's nothing better! It's a day that happen once a year, and I love the Xmas ambience! Big Xmas tree, some enlightened stuff and snowflakes outside!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Obsession

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zero - HOME

Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma&Pa

Not the way that I do love you

Holy roly, me, oh my, you're the apple of my eyes

Girl, I've never loved one like you

Man, oh man, you're my best friend, I scream it to the nothingness

There ain't nothin' that I need

Well, hot&heavy, pumpkin eye, chocolate candy, Jesus Christ

There ain't nothin' please me more than you

Ahh, home

Let me come home

Home is wherever I'm with you

Ahh, home

Let me come home

Home is wherever I'm with you

La la la la, take me home

Baby, Im coming home

I'll follow you into the park, through the jungle, through the dark

Girl, I've never loved one like you

Moats & boats & waterfalls, alley ways and pay phone calls

I've been everywhere with you

That's true

We laugh until we think we'll die, bareboot on summer night

Nothin' new is sweeter than with you

And in the sticks we're running free like it's only you and me

Geez, you're something to see

Ahh, home

Let me come home

Home is wherever I'm with you

Ahh, home

Let me come home

Home is wherever I'm with you

La la la la, take me home

Baby, Im coming home

VAGABONDING

Rolf Potts

"Potts has reported from more than fifty countries for the likes of National Geographic Traveler, the New York Times Magazine, Slate.com, Conde Nast Traveler, Outside, National Public Radio, and the Travel Channel. A veteran travel columnist for the likes of Salon.com and World Hum, his adventures have taken him across six continents, and include piloting a fishing boat 900 miles down the Laotian Mekong, hitchhiking across Eastern Europe, traversing Israel on foot, bicycling across Burma, and driving a Land Rover from Sunnyvale, California to Ushuaia, Argentina."

"Rolf explain you how to best use your money… and more importantly, your time. After all, what use is having millions of dollars in the bank if you have no clue how you’re going to live your life?

For many reasons, travelers can oftentimes miss the point of their entire travel experience. This is especially true for those of us who are trying to make a full-time income while traveling. Rolf, and his book, Vagabonding, are the answer to that."

I just started to read it.. and I think this book push yourself to 'vagabonding' all around the world, understanding what's means 'vagabonding' and the best way of doing it.
