Stories and News No. 848 The gay first kiss in public between two Royal Canadian Navy sailors , so many newspapers wrote recently. The first time when … We might as well tell the human passage on this earth, if maybe one day we will be worthy to be part of the overall story. Certainly there are spiders, cobwebs are still sublime art, as well as the caterpillar that becomes a butterfly. Therefore, powering ourselves with tolerance for the myriad of meanness and passion for neglected brackets of beauty, let’s recall some of the first times when ... As the first moment when a man has realized that regardless of how much fine he will act as a father, he will never be comparable to a woman. Who is a mother. As the first day when a child has risen straight among the kneel ones and, in spite of silence was the cheapest answer, it asked the very first why . As the first night that a girl went to bed with the promise of getting up the next morning to look straight into the eyes th...

Stories and News No. 847 Once there was One . Any one, but he was also a different one. Let's say one that had nothing to do with the past. One awoke from a ten-year coma. One that had nothing to do with the present, then, but only with the future. "What’s up?" He asked a passer-by coming from the hospital. "Things are things," the man said coolly. "Well, I see ... I'm sorry, so far I have slept..." "Oh", the man exclaimed. "Here's another one! I thought you had all died out, failed dreamers, gooders with deluded skulls and flabby hearts." "No, look, the fact is that I was in a coma..." The man remained as frozen, like the confused hourglass in the middle of the monitor. "So you don’t know Trump have won." "You mean the at the end Trump has become president of the United States?" "What end ? That was just the beginning and it happened in 2016. The big day was when he became e...

Stories and News No. 846 At the end of the day it seems that what some had already budgeted is being punctually true. The real point of the same sex marriage in Italy is about adoptions , even if we are dealing with stepchild adoptions . The thing that surprised me is that towards the latter, even among those more or less virtually around me, there is much more hostility than what is openly confessed. So, I want to put myself in their shoes. I want to talk with you, so I speak to you directly. Trying to think as you… Let's say you are right. Let's say that a child adopted by two same sex persons is expected to grow in some way damaged by the parents. Let me see what you see, as you see it. Consequently, I see two persons who live an unnatural relationship, which have outraged the nature and the creator at the same time, mistreating the flesh and the spirit. I see those same persons who are not satisfied by practicing a perverse life, but who even claim to get hold ...

A star knows everything ( words and music by Alessandro Ghebreigziabiher – guitar by Roberto Moreschi ) Come with me, travel with me No suitcases, no memory Travel with me, fly with me As it has done so far, the love I have But what it will tell about us, the passing time But what will happen to us, a star knows everything It looks at us and smiles already It is stitching your dreams in a dress That you are wearing since you were born But you don’t know, you don’t know That you will never lose with heart in hands And if you will stop I will stay with you But what it will tell about us, the passing time But what will happen to us, a star knows everything   More on Stories and News: Subscribe to RSS headline updates from: Powered by FeedBurner

Stories and News No. 845 I just counted at least hundreds of news related to the story of the dolphin used for an alleged selfies in Argentina and all, various orientation and interest, so-called authoritative press and minor ones, independent newspapers and embedded media, unite in the chorus of indignation before the human cruelty. It seems, though, that as evidenced here , here , here , as other international news websites, the dolphins were two and the one shown in the photo was already dead, perhaps because of the excessive heat of the water. Indeed, I also read that Hernan Coria , who has spread the first image, even claims to have done it to raise awareness among about the incident. What strikes me, however, is the total transversal and popular compassion that fast rise thundering where the abuses victims are defenseless dogs, cutest kittens or, as in this case, adorable dolphins. Perhaps, aware of the obvious contradiction, and because desperate times need desperate meas...

Stories and News No. 844 Warren Richardson, Australia, won the first prize (Spot News, singles) of the 59th edition of the World press photo with "Hope for a New Life". You may see a man and a child attempting to cross the border between Hungary and Serbia in the night of 28 August 2015, when the infamous wall was not yet finished. Consistent with the famous painting by Magritte, " La Trahison des images " (The treachery of images), a pipe accompanied by the caption "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" (This is not a pipe), here's the true story of the image.. Well, let us start from here: the people in the photo are not the winners. No one is in such great defeats. There are no refugees, no, they are not. Because to have refugees, there should be a shelter waiting for them. Those who offer it. And, at least, those who are ashamed of denying them. There are no survivors. Wait, let us wait, do not delude ourselves. Do not delude them. The jou...

Stories and News No. 843 Unlike Italy, surrogacy is legal in twenty nations, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Russia and Greece. Meanwhile, the so-called traditional family defenders insist to spread their fear. I suggest a satirical story… My oldest frequenters know about my previous life. Yes, I was a trainer of mouflons. What memories… I miss those goats, I admit. They were stubborn, no doubt, but when you saw them dance together it was a true incredible show. Wait, I have not said? I taught them the hip hop. Now I understand your hilarity and skepticism, that is normal, I'm used to. But hip hop is not born in the seventies in the United States, I understand that this is a new fact, but this what it is. Anyway, we are on stories and news, the border is labile, such as that between the excited mouflon and the possessed Ammotragus lervia. They are not the same thing, you may ask the nymphomaniac goat, if you do not believe me. Nobody invents anything, it is co...
