I VESTITI DEL RE
E non intendo disintossicarmi.
****
I'm addicted to freedom only.
And I'm not going to undergo any treatment.

OLEZZO E RISA
"... Juanito sa solo scoreggiare mentre gli altri ridono e aspirano
il tanfo. Come vede, l'organizzazione sociale dell'ospizio non
differisce molto da quella del mondo esterno".

CHEATERS ON TELLY
If only they would read
a little Dickens or Kipling
they would soon discover
there was more to life
than cheating people
and watching television.

ANTIPATIE E CATTIVERIE
Riflessioni futili e inutili, con sfondo al cappuccino.
Se una persona
ti sta antipatica, non ti piace, non ti è affine,
"è un problema tutto tuo".
Sta a te non frequentarla se non necessario,
ma hai il dovere di comportarti in modo corretto
quando devi avere a che fare con quella persona.
Se una persona,
che magari, perché no, ti piace anche, suscita la tua simpatia,
compie un'azione crudele nei tuoi confronti
(con piena consapevolezza e lucida volontà di fare male),
allora il tuo problema risiede nelle conseguenze di quella azione.
Ma la responsabilità ricade tutta su quella persona.
Non c'è spazio per il perdono.
Un errore si può comprendere.
La crudeltà no.

SOMEONE SOMEWHERE SOMEHOW (20)
I heard
That you're settled down
That you
Found a girl
And you're
Married now
I heard
That your dreams came true
I guess she gave you things
I didn't give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
It ain't like you to hold back or hide from the lie.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,
Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah,
You know how the time flies,
Only yesterday was the time of our lives,
We were born and raised in a summer haze,
Bound by the surprise of our glory days,
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,
Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Nothing compares,
No worries or cares,
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made,
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead.

INSPIRATION
A dispetto di chi crede che la vita debba essere sofferenza ed impegno faticoso e serissimo.
Sacrificio fine a sé stesso.
Gli obiettivi si raggiungono in modo più semplice ed efficace, se mentre si lavora duramente si è in grado di apprezzare appieno ciò che si fa.
Un discorso divertente, "light hearted".
Sul "nonsense" del vivere. E non solo.
Esilarante, stucchevole. Dissacrante.
Promuove il critical thinking, stimola a ragionare, ci ricorda che ridere non è da stupidi, se lo si fa in modo intelligente.
Una personalità interessante. Travolgente.
Dice cose interessanti e sensatissime, con un'ironia pungente, tagliente, incisiva, spietata.
Un genio.
Che, per dirla con Tim Minchin, è un "pazzo con un'audience"
"A genius is a mentally ill person with an audience"
Assolutamente INSPIRING.

CRITICAL THINKING
Non solo musica, non solo comicità.
Da ascoltare.
La versione sottotitolata in italiano, e più in basso per chi parla inglese anche l'introduzione dell'autore.
Esilarante. Intelligente. Dissacrante.
Strepitoso.
I have an apology to make
I'm afraid I've made a big mistake
I turned my face away from you, Lord
I was too blind to see the light
I was too weak to feel Your might
I closed my eyes; I couldn't see the truth, Lord
But then like Saul on the Damascus road,
You sent a messenger to me, and so
Now I've have had the truth revealed to me
Please forgive me all those things I said
I'll no longer betray you, Lord
I will pray to you instead
And I will say thank you, thank you
Thank you, God
Thank you, thank you
Thank you, God...
Thank you, God, for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum
I had no idea, but it's suddenly so clear now
I feel such a cynic, how could I have been so dumb?
Thank you for displaying how praying works:
A particular prayer in a particular church
Thank you Sam for the chance to acknowledge this
Omnipotent ophthalmologist
Thank you, God, for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum
I didn't realize that it was so simple
But you've shown a great example of just how it can be done
You only need to pray in a particular spot
To a particular version of a particular god,
And if you pull that off without a hitch,
He will fix one eye of one middle-class white bitch
I know in the past my outlook has been limited
I couldn't see examples of where life had been definitive
But I can admit it when the evidence is clear,
As clear as Sam's mum's new cornea
(And that's extremely clear! )
Thank you, God, for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum
I have to admit that in the past I have been skeptical
But Sam described this miracle and I am overcome!
How fitting that the sighting of a sight-based intervention
Should open my eyes to this exciting new dimension
It's like someone put an eye chart up in front of me
And the top five letters say: I C, G O D
Thank you, Sam, for showing how my point of view has been so flawed
I assumed there was no God at all but now I see that's cynical
It's simply that his interests aren't particularly broad
He's largely undiverted by the starving masses,
Or the inequality between the various classes
He gives you strictly limited passes,
Redeemable for surgery or two-for-one glasses
I feel so shocking for historically mocking
Your interests are clearly confined to the ocular
I bet given the chance, you'd eschew the divine
And start a little business selling contacts online
Fuck me Sam, what are the odds
That of history's endless parade of gods
That the God you just happened to be taught to believe in
Is the actual one and he digs on healing,
But not the AIDS-ridden African nations
Nor the victims of the plague, nor the flood-addled Asians,
But healthy, privately-insured Australians
With common and curable lens degeneration
This story of Sam's has but a single explanation:
A surgical God who digs on magic operations
No, it couldn't be mistaken attribution of causation
Born of a coincidental temporal correlation
Exacerbated by a general lack of education
Vis-a-vis physics in Sam's parish congregation
And it couldn't be that all these pious people are liars
It couldn't be an artefact of confirmation bias
A product of groupthink,
A mass delusion,
An Emperor's New Clothes-style fear of exclusion
No, it's more likely to be an all-powerful magician
Than the misdiagnosis of the initial condition,
Or one of many cases of spontaneous remission,
Or a record-keeping glitch by the local physician
No, the only explanation for Sam's mum's seeing:
They prayed to an all-knowing superbeing,
To the omnipresent master of the universe,
And he quite liked the sound of their muttered verse.
So for a bit of a change from his usual stunt
Of being a sexist, racist, murderous cunt
He popped down to Dandenong and just like that
Used his powers to heal the cataracts of Sam's mum
Of Sam's mum
Thank you God for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum!
I didn't realize that it was such a simple thing
I feel such a dingaling, what ignorant scum!
Now I understand how prayer can work:
A particular prayer in a particular church
In a particular style with a particular stuff
And for particular problems that aren't particularly tough,
And for particular people, preferably white
And for particular senses, preferably sight
A particular prayer in a particular spot
To a particular version of a particular god
And if you get that right, he just might
Take a break from giving babies malaria
And pop down to your local area
To fix the cataracts of your mum!
