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....

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".

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.

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"...

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
