Suede

It's always beautiful when your favourite singers come back from the hell they were fallen into to present us with such beautiful pearls! Welcome back Tori('s voice)! :) Enjoy that fantastic Suede!

Lots of time

It's been ages since I wrote here last time!
Really, too many things to do all at once! This year's been terrific under this point of view! Guess I've made 10 times the things I've made in the rest of my life! :P Actually I'm partly lying as last summer I did nothing, though it wasn't a very nice time of my life, many ups and downs... more downs than ups I have to admit.
But since September 8 the journey of life has begun again. Now I really have too many things to care... exams, next year university choice, 4 months exchange in Canada, final work..... just not to mention the work I should be doing on myself, I'm trying to do on myself, I'm not sure I'm doing on myself, don't know.... you know, when you have just one person in mind, and you start looking around, but no one seems to make you feel the same things... guess it's just a matter of time... Sooo, hope to be able to update before leaving on Jan 1, but not that sure I'll be, I'll try! :)

Doughnuts and love...

"You never gain weight from a doughnut hole" sings Tori... Guess she's right again... We should try to focus on real things, what happens in the real world, non get lost in our fantasies or speculations on "how it would be if..." Not to waste our time with a person as we believe they are different from what we see or we wait for them to change, nor running after the shade of somebody else who is living its own life and has not shown any (manifest) intention of spending a part of its life with us, waiting for something to fall from the sky...
Come on, wake up and let's get our own life! (-.- First I have to get convinced myself.....)

Mr. Badmouth

My life...

I really don't know what to do.... one moment I feel kinda happy, when my mind flies through beautiful memories and fantasies, but I guess it's all an illusion, an "I'd be so happy if...", not true happiness, as soon after I come back again in this status of nausea, pain, I feel sick and useless, don't know what to do with this fucking life of mine.... How the hell to come out of this numbness? Stop thinking 'bout the past, turning page and focusing on the future? Probably that's the way.... easier said than done... I don't want to cut out all the beautiful things I have in my life now, so how to find the right balance? How to start a new beginning without spoiling everything?
Just to quote miss PJ Harvey: "I need a man...."

F**k life, I wanna be a pokémon trainer......

Mr. Badmouth

One day there'll be a place for us...

This song has been obsessing me lately.... "One day there'll be a place for us..." this sentence is... kinda magic, I really love it, even thought of making a tattoo out of it, thought I don't like the idea of tattooing words, I think they're too volatile, you love them now but tomorrow who knows? Anyhow this is a very good lyric and is meaning a lot to me nowadays, the sense of hope I'm feeling during this period of confusion, disillusion, sadness if you want to call it that way, but, really, I cannot find the right word to describe what I'm feeling, it's a strange mix of emotions (once again the words prove unable to define feelings, I was kinda right up there I guess!) :)
Anyhow, don't want to bother you anymore, enjoy PJ! :)

Mr. Badmouth

Bad timing...

Really, I've had such a plain and "boring" life until a few months ago.... and I started writing a blog when my life took a kinda "revolution", now that my friends know almost everything of what and who I am and I can freely speak with them of everything, I don't need anymore to use the web to open up totally and freely... and I must say it's wonderful!! Though this, besides having more things happening in the last few months than in 21 years of life!!, brought me to stop writing.... it's certainly something that makes you feel better! Everybody should have at least 1 or 2 persons whom you can talk of everything with, it's just a matter of empathy, finding someone who has lived experiences similar to yours and can understand you deeply, someone who knows you :)
And now, besides this, my life still is hard! Don't have anybody to aim at, don't know how and where to look for people that I have something in common with!! Where the hell are all these interesting men?
And, most important, what should I do with my future? With my life? A year from now, more or less, hoping everything's going for the best, I'm gonna have my bachelor in my hands, and...... ???? And then...???
Thick fog

Time will tell

Mr. Badmouth

Life's hard (part 3)

Oooh, I have totally gone mad.....
I asked him for a meeting, as I needed to talk! Don't ask me where I found the heart to do it! Damn it, it felt so right! I'm glad I made this step, though he is already engaged (with a woman, btw, but he doesn't seem to dislike men too..... maybe one day, who knows?!)... Now the thing to do is forget him and find a new target! Seems easy put that way, but unfortunately we cannot choose who wakes up our hidden emotions.... Let's hope somebody's gonna knock the door soon... :)
In the meanwhile let's enjoy springtime that has just began!!!
Promise I'll be back as soon as possible!


Mr. Badmouth

Little earthquakes

'Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces' Tori sings in one of (I believe) the best songs that ever been written... I leave you with this fabulous Little earthquakes :)

Mr. Badmouth

Life's (very) hard...

That's not by chance if I chose again this title without remembering I already used it a while ago...
I've been so busy lately, exams, lectures, deadlines, exchange programs, internships.... My life's full as it has never been before, it seems every week I'm doing more things than I've been doing in the rest of my life...
Great news is I guess I'm in love (or at least attracted)...
Bad news is "How to let him know?"
Don't have that much experience in that stuff... Think I have kind of suppressed my feelings for 20 years, or at least I didn't let them burst out... I was well... I had balance and equilibrium...
Now I'm a bit lost, find myself staring into space thinkin' of him, fancying what we could do together, how would it be, how would I feel... And I don't even know if he'd like to spend some time with me....
Aaaaah love's gonna ruin my life......
What'ma gonna do?
Only time knows....

Mr. Badmouth

I still do sweeter than anything

I leave you with two beautiful and touching songs from two of my favourite singers. Tonight I'm particularly reflective and I'm loving emotional songs the best, so enjoy I still do from The Cranberries and Sweeter than anything from PJ.

I still do

Sweeter than anything

Good night

:)

Mr. Badmouth

Life's hard...

We always try to do our best, but most often it's hardly enough, to ourselves before than to everybody else. My strictest judge is myself: we want to be superhumans, we'd all always like to be happy, but the way to happiness is hard and painful, otherwise happiness itself becomes normal and we are no more able to enjoy it.
Love who you are and think of what you do.

Mr. Badmouth

Long time no write....

Sorry if I hadn't posted anythin in the last few days, but I've been more busy I would ever imagine to.....
I had an oral exam on wednesday, but they have only been able to listen to 25 people out of 95, so I've studied lots and still have to take this hellish exam on monday (I hope).....
Then I had a lecture and a concert on thursday, so I really had no time to turn on the pc, except in the morning, when I was busy with my new manga translator "job".... As if I didn't have enough things to do.... I'm gonna go crazy..... :P
Hope you enjoyed your week and had some more free time than I did, I'll try to post something interesting in the next days, though next week's gonna be even worse I guess.....
Have a nice weekend!!!

Mr. Badmouth

Unsent

A beautiful song from Alanis (Morissette) talking about all her past relationships and what she did learn  from every one of her ex-bfs. God, this song is soooo 90s! When I think of 90s it's the first thing which comes to my mind! Enjoy it!!! :)

Berserk

After seeing some episodes of the anime on TV I fell in love with the anime Berserk, so I went on the web and watched the whole series in streaming. Being the end of the anime right in the middle of action, I was curious about how it was going on and started reading the manga online.
Really, the plot is very catchy, the drawings are nicely done and the characters are such you'll fall in love with them (at least with some of them ^^). The manga tells the story of Gatsu, a warrior following his terrible fate; it's settled in some fantasy-medieval milieu. If you are manga and/or fantasy fans you'll love it, but I suggest you should try to read it anyway! Some situations are really up to date, I leave you here a quote I loved about the church today:

"Most of the Holy See temples have been built destroying the sacred places of the religion of spirits. The present doctrine of the Holy See is nothing but a tool to show off its own authority. Speaking the name of god people keep on fighting and foolishly calling for help, without knowing that the key of salvation is hidden in the things they are trying to forget."

Mr. Badmouth

Never was a cornflake girl

Tori Amos performing one of her best (known) songs, Cornflake girl, at the concert I believe has been her all time best, the one for RAINN in '97.

Enjoy! <3 <3

Mr. Badmouth

We all may (and should, at least try to be) better persons!

I have been wasting lots of time on the web recently..... I mean, I can't spend my life uploading the facebook homepage or looking at websites I know what I'll see on all day long. I guess in ancient times, when people didn't have that much free time, life was harder but human beings lived more in harmony with the earth, the used their time in a more productive way, most of them had to work hard just to survive and feed their families! For lots of us, at least in developed countries, this seems so far away, we think we're never going to run out of food or water, but in other parts of the world people are still fighting and starving. I guess we should, at least, devote some time to useful activities, I mean, I'm not saying we should go to the countryside and grow potatoes, but maybe we should talk with each other, read, study things that we like, spread knowledge and help other people, even just discuss with friends of relevant things like philosophy or what we expect from our future... I think this would help us make our lives more useful and interesting, more valuable, more worthy of living!
So stop reading here, go and do something better for your life! ^^

Lord Randal

"O where ha you been, Lord Randal, my son?
And where ha you been, my handsome young man?"
"I ha been at the greenwood; mother, mak my bed soon,

My favourite English literature piece of work! :)

Rob's always the same...

Time passes for everybody, but some assholes hasn't changed! Though he is close to his fourties, his behaviour still is one of a boy in his early twenties (and also his figure still doesn't pass unnoticed!), but this is one of the reasons why we love him! :)

His "friend(?)" Gary from Take That has celebrated with a concert his 40th birthday; Robbie couldn't be there, but he really wanted his mate to have some original greetings! So, why not a video message during the concert? Obviously in pure Robbie Williams style....

Mr. Badmouth

Let England Shake

In these days the first single from PJ Harvey's next album "Let England shake" has been released! Here you can find a video of it, the song is called "The words that maketh murder".

Mr. Badmouth

Blood roses

I leave you here one of my favourite Tori Amos songs, Blood roses, in a very beautiful and powerful live, probably the best Tori live ever, i.e. the concert for RAINN (Rape, abuse and incest national network), which she was among the founders of, in 1997.

Mr. Badmouth

Full full day

Oh, I hate and love it when you have such a full day that you can hardly take the time to think what you're doing. I hate it because I love to have some free time, when I can rest, nap, relax or whatever, some time to devote only to myself. On the other hand it's nice to have such a busy agenda, as I feel I'm living my life at best, spending my time in the most efficient way possible, hanging out with friends, getting to know new people, do and see and listen and feel so many things in the world that is around me, especially when I've been stuck home for many days before.
I think that the best, as always, stays in the middle, but, you know, often you have one day of hermitage and the day after you're in the middle of a crowd. Maybe as our subconscious seeks for solitude when he/she/it/whatever knows we're gonna have a busy time in the near future. The most important thing is not to overdo either way!
As Horace said: "In medio stat virtus"...


Mr. Badmouth

Good Adam went naked...

Everybody's happy when there's physical beauty under the spotlight, and if it's for a good cause, even better! If then the one is a sight for sore eyes, as Adam Levine (frontman and singer of Maroon 5).....
What more could we ask for?

In order to increase sensibility and awareness for testicular cancer, the february number of Cosmopolitan front page will feature Adam's naked pictures. The singer said he enjoys going around naked, as California's hot.... Well, if you find yourself there, have a good look around, you may never know!

Bows and arrows

Ok, being that the first post of the kingdom, nothing could fit better than my (now) favourite song off the album which I borrowed a song from for the title of my blog! :)
Enjoy our genius PJ Harvey with Bows and arrows (actually a B-side from "The letter", the first single out of her 2004 album "Uh huh her") and The desperate kingdom of love, from Uh huh her too.


Mr. Badmouth

Welcome!

Hello there! I was wondering how could I spend a free afternoon doing useful things and I thought it’s been a long time since I’ve been having a website, only have used hotmail’s livespaces for a few months when I was in the high school, but then I let my teenage blog die of abandonment. Now I feel like writing something can prove a nice thing to do when I have some time... Talking, reading, listening, having relationships with other people and their thoughts... That's a very nice - probably the best - way to grow and to make ourselves better persons.

So I’m here... I still don’t know what I’m gonna talk about: everyday life, philosophy, love, hate, history, politics, current affairs, music, arts.... everything that is gonna strike my attention!

I’m glad you’re here and I’ll be very pleased if you want to start this journey with me to know where it’ll take us!

Have a nice day!

Mr. Badmouth
