Today was the premiere of a new category on my blog named "FLASH", hoping to be more closed to the outside events. It will present in short what I discover, and even if it will not be ultimate news, the facts will be recent. Posts will have of course, pictures, videos, or block quotes, and will be shorter than my usual minimum five hundred words, even if this is vague, because I think I'm coming closer to one thousand per post :). Anyway, what I want to enhance is that my posts will be daily or often than that. [I'm not sure, but it looks like Helena Bonham Carter in Fight Club, another movie I'll review soon enough, I hope.] I have tons of things to talk about, my list is never ending. I used to consider that writing to my other projects are more important and that is the main reason for diminishing the time for my blog, but it's wrong. I'm letting you know with this post, my future subjects, of which a lot were postponed for various reasons.

At a first view, looks fine, there is a great range of stuff to choose, not things to do, they are even in greater number, but “posts”, usually in blogs, some “wiser” than others, ass-wiser, as a matter of fact. The number of things to do, varies from 10, 20, 50, to a hundred, a hundred and one or two hundred, with a competition in imagination lacking as a pattern. “Learn a foreign language” is present, ride a camel, or an elephant or “something bigger than a horse”, along with Everest climbing and “Go to Antarctica”. There are of course the stupid things like “throw a huge party for all of your friends” or “learn to bartend”, quite amazing things to do before one die, putting the imagination to great distress. I found a few hilarious, like "meet your favorite living travel writer, they have inspired you, now thank them for that in person". Does not matter if such a guy is a disappointment as a human being. Or "travel to Germany to experience Love Parade, because is one of the biggest festivals , attendance-wise, on the planet". No kidding. No Rio Festival, no Cannes Festival, Love Parade has to … [Read more...]
