fuori della testa

i feel so odd sometimes, in my own skin and the like. i feel that i should have dedicated myself more thoroughly to something by now, as though i should be someplace more concrete in my life. sometimes, it's as though i'm spinning completely out of control, like the rest of the universe, all chaotic and completely subject to the magnetic draw of the moon. other times though, i feel completely secure, feet firmly planted on the ground and rooted like trees.......this is not one of those times

a me piacciono tantissimo i leoni. questo e' davanti la Cattedrale di San Lorenzo a Genova. L'ho visto queste estate quando sono stata li'. Ci sono anche leoni come quello davanti la biblioteca di NY a Fifth Avenue. Devo ricordare di fare foto di loro .........sono belli
Mi sembra che la faccia di questo sia un po' triste?
maybe not sad though....maybe concerned........forse furbo......beh, chissa' che pensa lo scultore quando l'ha fatto...........i must remember to keep the language consistent here......
i think that lions are a metaphor (unless of course they're living on the plains in Africa, in which case they are no metaphor, but rather stealthy hunters) for instance..........look at this or this to see what i mean about not metaphoric......they're just really beautiful creatures

i like driving......i like being a passenger while others are driving.........a friend of mine and i once drove clear across the country......the road went on for miles and miles and miles.......i have always felt that there is something magical about driving........taking trips and such, particularly in a car............there is a connection with the landscape that is acheived from a car..........even though said landscape is flying by and at times, barely visible............
when i took my cross-country sojurn, we took I-80 because I-70 was under construction and was closed at several points along the way........we nearly avoided a tornado.........it was exciting, really..........the sky was so dark in the west and we could just see the funnel-cloud hiding almost behind the mountians..........why am i carrying on about this you ask? i find that desire guides action; when that happens, it can be a magical experience. i am at a place in my life wherein i find that my desires are guiding my actions in large part these days. i'm itchy again, to take a trip (never mind that i just returned from one, that was different) i want to get out onto the highway and drive for a while.....

a qm ditty

so i read this really interesting article on quantum mechanics.........not that quantum menchanics is for everyone, mind you....though i must admit to finding the drawings of the "paths not taken" quite amusing....only because i interpret them in a completely different way than is applicable to quantum menchanics...............but i digress..................
so for right now, i am still new to this blogger thingy and i am still trying to master the art of posting photos, links, managing the html content, and etc. though, to my own credit, i tend to learn things relatively quickly, and am pretty sure that the more frequently i use this, the more capable i will become of using it.............. so just bear with me here for these first few posts until i really get the hang of this.................hey!! who's driving, anyway?

ok.....sono qui per la prima volta..........mi hanno detto che devo fare un posting prima di tutto....eccomi qui!
