The first hot spring. The moment I really enjoy the upcoming summer. Later, I will start thinking about when it is already over.
Tap tap tap.
Clack. Claclack claclack.
Gneeeeeeek.
Um ... anyone?
As you may understand, I have decided to close this blog and to stop-and-pull with spring. It has been nearly four years since I started (it was July of 2006, after the death of Syd Barrett, if I remember correctly), and gave me much satisfaction, I confess, it lasted much longer than I thought. Soon, however, closes the curtain.
I talked about many things in here, catching some crucial moments of my life, like our beautiful parentheses Turin and, above all, the birth of Peter. I wrote about everyday life, memories, experiences, my family, my garden. Music, books, cinema, politics, comics, cooking, keywords, and travel. I talked a bit 'of everything, actually, and without a specific criterion. The only constant was the initial comment on the weather, just to justify the title of the blog (inspired to a beautiful song by Tom Waits ). This blog has been followed by a few friends and relatives, some acquaintance unexpectedly, from the casual web surfers and, recently, some members of Facebook friends. His post are discussed mainly from other blogger friends, head on Alice, Riki, and Maus, followed by Matthew, Cynthia, Gianluca and vague.
short, it was a nice experience ... so why close it? The main reason is the desire. The more you write and write any more. Less write, the more you move away from the platform on which your travel blog. At least for me it is. As a first step, then, I've been away from writing to work commitments and, above all, from writing an essay film that kept me busy for a year and a half. And when I returned, there was already too much dust in here, and since I do not like doing the housework, I preferred to stay away from home.
Ultimately, then, other commitments were added to the work, the family and the vegetable ... but, frankly, if you really wanted, the time for a couple of weeks I would find the post.
fact, there are also other reasons. For example, the fact that certain topics, which once captivated me, I no longer want to talk. One of them is politics. I'm tired of using this blog to say narcissistically my membership or my dissent, and even more to make the repeater indignation often command. For that there are already Facebook groups, and even those I've learned to keep their distance. In short, from the perspective of national politics I'm going through a phase of reflection that takes my apathetic want to talk about here. I've tried more than once to comment on what was happening in Italy in recent times, but then my words seemed inadequate, and then give up. Or you know writing about politics (and I'm not capable), I thought, or, rather copincollare a link or leave a quick comment and obvious emotional, shut up. In fact, I remained silent.
Another issue is privacy, perhaps in the past that I enjoyed more, along with the memories. Well, I went a bit 'desire to keep a diary of my private life, at least not so, not between a review and comment of the day. If you decide to open another diary on the net in the future will probably be just that. Same thing for subjects such as music or movies. If you decide to write more music or movies, maybe I'll do it in a more serious and structured, and in a separate blog. By the way, my friend Mana has recently opened a nice blog about these topics. visited it, I highly recommend.
That said, there are different ways of letting, and if I can not do it in style, at least try to do so with a little 'dignity. So this is not the last post, but the third-last. Before leaving permanently, write again on two important topics (one in particular) which I never mentioned on these pages.
the next few days, then.
Tap tap tap.
