Who Does Voice Of Jack

Eskimo #00

North Greenland,
inside the Arctic Circle,
and on the continent of floating ice around the North Pole,
lived a nomadic tribe of the descendants of the Mongols,
known as Eskimos.
Their culture has been passed
through generations
form of legends adventure
and ceremonial music.


In 1979 the band The Residents in California published an elegant LP dedicated to the Eskimo people, with the aim of recreating not only the ceremonial music, but also a living context in which to anchor form of Eskimo tales.
The production of the disc bore Residents close to bankruptcy: they worked for three years the project went from the few authentic Eskimo biota, they built and built the original instruments, with bones and skins of dog left synthesizers and learned to play according to the tonal scale Eskimo, which is 5 notes.
The Residents is one of my favorite bands forever, so I said "If the Eskimos are so interesting for them, maybe it will be for me."
So intrigued, I started looking for books and information at the right and left. Then there was the internet, and although I lived in Milan could not find much.
almost arrived to get their hands on "white crow", a book of legends gathered by Silvio Zavatti, one of the greatest connoisseurs and lovers of the Eskimo culture. But the book always escaped me.
Then I called the publisher of Genoa, and a very kind gentleman by the hoarse voice of which unfortunately I lost the name he replied that no, there were no more copies, but if I had left the address in case I was informed.
went a bit 'of years, not even the shadow of the book.
In a June 87 evening, returning home, I found an envelope in the letterbox so voluminous as it was unexpected: inside was a copy of "The White Raven," which still smells of mildew, and a note: "It 's a stock fund! we give it to him. Best wishes and greetings" Illegible signature
I immediately phoned in Genoa, but they said that the publisher had moved, and I could not thank the unknown benefactor. Probably during the preparations for the move the book, some hidden behind closet, or hidden in the cellar, has resurfaced.


Over the years I read and reread the book, much to the despair of my wife is always on the table because almost every night I open it, I read a story and then I fall asleep thinking about this alien people lived on our planet.

Ballet Slippers Template

Uno strano fatto

I love to walk in the hills around my house, followed by My Stellina proceed along paths that I do not know and sometimes I stop in a meadow to rest or eat the nuts fall from the tree.
Often, those who went before me left his unpleasant memories: cans, plastic bottles, empty cigarette packs, tissues. I get angry with those who have no respect for nature and his staff try to at least move the rubbish to the edge of the lawn, not a permanent solution, but at least the grass is clean.
During one of these operations I came across a sheet of notebook paper, I swore as usual, then I realized that it was written something. Intrigued I took it and I read, not all of the text was clear, the ink ruined by water drops, tears or rain. I tried to understand the meaning and complete the missing parts:

around here
everything smells of you
you try under the leaves
between plant roots
I do bark
to see you spend all day
and not to disturb your thoughts
you turn, you see a tree
and feel a sigh
I am there

A brief explanation:

know, imagine this scene perfectly,
that you walk in slow motion and you turn around, smile
Your beautiful smile that you feel like your a tree,
and continue your walk slowly.
go to live your life elsewhere, and I remain there,
to wait for your next step,
to protect your way.
and cursing the fate that you gave me only a few minutes.

Obviously I have no idea who the fugitive lover during a walk like mine has stopped writing these words to his beloved, nor do I think meeting him would recognize him.
Or maybe the package was flown there from somewhere.
I tried searching in google, but the text is unknown, so there is certainly a famous poet.
I am a bit 'saddened of her sadness, especially for the phrase "and cursing the fate that gives me you just a few minutes, perhaps for some spell of a wicked witch is forced to live an impossible love.
Then I thought about the smile he describes, and I smiled too.
course, the woman in question just has to be unique and special to deserve the thoughts so delicious.

Luckily my life is less complicated: I had two strokes in Stella and I started to mow the grass with their feet to return home.
Upon arriving I transcribed the text, then I put the paper in a bottle, I plugged, with the scooter went down to the lake and I have abandoned to the waves.
Like believe that sooner or later the princess of my unknown friend will find the bottle and it will be recognized in the short poem, and perhaps give you a hug and a kiss to his bum.
Then I came home to a berm beer, I kept the bottle, who knows what tomorrow will not make me lucky enough to find another piece of stray poet.

Miniature Schnauzer Enlarged Heart

Variation to planning: a gift for a few


Thursday 18 November, as usual without the event known to the public, the Mayor of Fabrica di Roma (make UDC) has convened a municipal council for approval of an extract of the variant of the Master Plan.
the sitting of about ten days ago the directors of the center-left opposition had rightly objected to the terms of approval of the variant, according to them illegal, since it had been approved by some advisers "party". In other words, several advisers had made "Christmas gift", since they had approved the increase in machinability index for their land or family land.
When there is an agenda item that concerns personal business advisers good idea and should be removed from the classroom indication of legislative counsel. In this case they were all left, because if they left the decision was not approved.
The Mayor is justified by saying that the directors were left to pass the resolution and make a plan for citizenship. "If the law does not permit the presence of administrators involved - he added in a public manifesto - we will approve the variation in chunks."
understand, because they are smart! They said, "the increase machinability index move it to another area where there are our lands. " To be able to enjoy a privilege which they themselves approved study the variation in pieces in order to turn out to administrators involved and thus have a quorum.
With this trick you will put in place with the law and will be exchanged at the same time their Christmas gift, they do not want to give up completely. In the face of one who is not going badly and do not receive at least help!


I said last night that the Plan has been prepared as a gift for a few, and so is

state. The City Council approved a fifteen excerpts from the variation of the Plan, with the absence - do not know whether to protest or to avoid being too involved in conflicts of interest - almost of all five members of the minority.
Instead of approving a single resolution that would have involved conflicts of interest in 14 out of 17 directors, the Mayor has cleverly broken the Master Plan in 15 chunks. In this way, not to violate the legal advisers have not come together, but one or two at a time, so as to meet the quorum.
Here, it was just a pantomime of legality. You had to see the face of a sphinx emphysema of the Mayor, who was about to read the first excerpt from voting, as an administrator got up and hastened to hide in the next room. At the second stage the same game with another administrator. There was the director elected to Falisco park attendant who looked like a grand hotel, as it had taken the task of opening the door to those that came in the room and call those who were to return. Sometimes they are released in two or three members at once. Some have gone more than three times. Even the mayor came out repeatedly, and in these cases has given the task of reading the deputy mayor, although he has disappeared and reappeared in the courtroom like those puppets from invisible wires.
It was like being in one of those comedies of errors, where a dense enter and leave the scene of characters who are hiding under the bed or in the closet, clash with her lover or concubine of him . Someone had turned red with embarrassment; Sbruffo someone angry, someone else took her hand and grinned like a farce.
I felt sorry for two reasons. First, the lack of citizens - have been a dozen people, including representatives of political parties and the usual three or four that never fail. This absence is due to the fact that there was no information of the appointment, but also an indifference that takes away from participating in the fabrichesi civic life of the country. What future can have
Fabrica if he disregards Plan, an important tool that will influence for good or evil not only in the near future, but the future of coming generations. The best ally of those who command us is often the apathy, resignation of the governed. Italy of Values \u200b\u200b
We ask that the Mayor convene a conference as soon as possible, which explains the criteria by which they were raised indices manufacturability, but also the inidirizzo general plan, and that will make themselves available to answer questions of citizens.

What Shoes Look Good With A Short Poofy Dress

Sopra Lovere - Autunno 2009

I took a good habit to get me a couple of walks a week in the hills above Lovere. I start with my faithful dog with the courts and follow the canonical path that leads to San Giovanni. Often Stella is also somewhat mysterious street, I follow her and find a meadow from the trail, hidden by bushes and brambles, not seen.
I lie in the grass, listening to the rustle of the wind and the birds singing and smell the scent of the shrubs that are around.
During one of these walks I got the idea to record sounds and images.
