More about me

I've already said I am italian, but I'm not a typical one. I mean I'm not very patriotic and autarchic, you're not in front of the kind of person who'll be always highlighting his country's pros and ommitting his cons. No I'm definitely not a nationalist. I hate the fact that the country where I was born has a repution of mafia, unkindness and unloyalty, but I have to admit that these are not legends: if I look around me and I analyze how people are used to behaving and how children are unconciously taught how to behave, I see that we tend to be so crafty. In short, the italian way. Now I could be seen as an anti-italian, and I'm not either. Simply I emphasize the big lacks we got, maybe because I'm a bit of a faultfinding, or maybe because, as I wrote in the previous post, I love every expression of originality and this is clearly one of them, but I don't care the reason why it comes to me natural to underline the ugly things that produce our brand.
The natural consequence is that I end up overvalueing most foreign countries for many aspects, lapsing argueing that just english are loyal and other cliches like that. Oh my god, the more I write the more I seem to realize heavy thing about me! That's pretty good, means that I can improve, maybe one day...
Well, this article should have talked about my features, but till now I've just spoken about my lack of patriotism! I admit I'm quite inclined to digression...
What else can I say about me... I'm a dreamer. When I think about something that is going to happen or in general when I think about the future I take big mind trips and sometimes I litterally forget the reality. Descartes, my friend... Connected to this fact there's another big feature of mine, one that I don't deny I like pretty much, that is my inclinition towards philosophy, but it could sound like a boasting if I don't clarify. I mean I feel naturally attracted from anything that look beyond the thing in front of us, trying to get the reality which is behind what just seems to be to be the reality. I'm attracted from knowing what is rationality and what is emotion, and where they meet together. I like looking for logic at any time, I like travelling with my mind (that's why I said this was connected to being a dreamer) and so on. These are some of the attractions I've found studying philosophy, and that's why I think (or maybe I just hope) to be inclined to it.
Everything I can add now would be lied to philosophy, because telling what I do and what I like in my life,I'll tell what makes me feel happy and happiness is philosophy too.
Music, sport, politics are all interests of mine, but for now it's enough, you will know more in the next pages.

The intention for my blog

This is the first post of my blog and the first thing to do for me is to give my welcome to whom is going to visit this blog, no matter if it'll be just one or two people in next couple of months or instead thousands (got some doubts, actually...). Actually, right now, I feel like running a blog for myself and from nobody else, since I see it as a way to try, for the first time, to create a medium through which I can prove myself that I'm able to produce something cool and lovely in english even if it is not my first language. Yeah, I see it as a test rig, first of all. But if my big aim is lovelyness, assumed that the first step it's being lovely for me (could you be loved if you are not the first one to love yourself? I say no, definitely. And that's the same case), which is the second step? Obviously audience. Ok, now you think I'm contradicting myself so I need to explain why I'm not. The point is that I don't care too much about how many people will come across this blog, but it would be important for me to be appreciated, although by a very small number of people.
In conclusion, I promise I will do my best to create something nice, funny, but, most important of all, original, given that one of my life mottos is:

DO YOUR BEST TO BE NOTICED. THEY WILL LOVE YOU? GREAT! THEY WILL HATE YOU? NO PROBLEM, NEXT TIME YOU'LL BE BETTER, BUT STILL BE HAPPY BECAUSE NOW YOU ARE NOT ONE OF MANY.
