The human mind - my least - is not 'able to store everything that happens during the week, let alone in nearly a month, the time which I do not write (it seemed less sure ...), so forget 'and something that I' happened, but never mind. Maybe I should keep a diary to remember things. Or maybe a blog ...
Anyway.
I found home! A room in the basement (although it is not 'just because the uphill road basement) of the house of a friend of my boss, the place has of course advantages (huge and cheap compared to the parameters of san francisco) and bad (full of junk ), but absolutely worth living for four months. And in one of the most 'beautiful san francisco, in the hills, so every morning when I go to take the subway like I have a view of the photo at the top (when the weather is nice you can also see the sea). My house, if the powerful computer resources to assist your computer, and 'below, the one with the classic car parked in front of the garage. It 's a nice place. The neighborhoods are next to Castro (district in which the man than the straight 75%) and Haights (the hippie, and there are many still around, in some streets there 's so much that it seems to smell of grass be at the stadium in Italy ...). This is SF.

This past weekend (actually, it was 2 weekends ago) I was in Colorado for the 2010 Summer Vacation CLU, and it 'was amazing! Fantastic! First and 'was a new encounter with what' I understand sustains my life through people meat and bone meal that really impressed me, and then I met (though surely wrong spelling) a lot of people: I became a close friend of Melissa and Kevin (Miami and West Palm Beach, Florida), Rachel (Alabama) Mary (Kansas City, Kansas), JR (Sacar, California), Jake (Salt Lake City, Utah), and then many others, including Katrina, Jonah, Aaron, Elina, Evelyn, Amanda, Caroline, Michael, Dan, Kelly , Bill, Andy, Brandon, Melissa, Father Antonio and Father Peter, Beatrice, Elizabeth, Jack, Zach, Phil, Frank, Annie, Marie, Constance, Peggy, Frank, Mary, Andrew, Clare, Allen, Abby, Vitaliy, Tim , Dan, Julia, Nathan, Nick, Meghan, Francesca, Lucia, Santiago, Mike, Francis, Michael, Andrew, Mike, Duffy, Kevin, Rose, German, Melissa, Stormy, Amanda, Alex, Elizabeth, Stephen, Amy, Daniel, Maura Kate, Michael Carlisle III, Nathan, Sophia, Vladimir , Trisha, Thomas, Sarah, Janine, Salvatore, Raymond, Sarah, Fiona, Julie, Kathleen, Matthew, Marilyn, Lauren, Matthew, Laura, Kati, Alex, Katie, Ann Marie, Keat, Benjamin, Cameron, Bridget, Clare, Dionysia, Chris, Emily and someone else can not remember the name (though 'maybe I am a friend on Facebook ...). The time of 5 days when we were there 'has been wonderful, even though we were at 2500 meters and the first trip and' was at an altitude of 3 thousand, with lots of snow and frozen lakes. The games have been subject to the World Cup, then football even if it changes with strange and them 'I gave my best scoring lots of goals, including the winning goal in a game, heel to the tunnel door, I yelled running Big as the World Cup after scoring but with a few choir and a few cries, these Americans are too quiet, do not even try to cheat. Not even a little bit. And they looked at me wrong when I suggested ... Then I think it comes second ... The teams were France (the last of course, hated by all), USA, third, second Italy (my team), South Africa first. Damn. Pero 'then I remade' cause I won (scoring) in the game of professional football. And even miniature golf. But how ' difficult to run screaming yelling kicking inciting insult opponents and referees do choirs teach po-po-po-po-po to the Americans ... for 4 hours under the sun at 2500 meters above sea level ...? Probably 'the Bull that I have trained ... this stage usually applaud when they have permission to do so ... bah.
The songs then! Son was great 'cause we both sang and sang what I love: the Beatles, Johnny Cash, Rolling Stoned, spirituals, gospels, etc.. You can find a compilation of many of these here. Although after singing songs like "La Bamba" in front of the snowy peaks and another Italian I have taught all of the 125 songs Alpine (Ai Préat, Lord of the Peaks, Sul Pajon). Bello, 5 days make you wish that life would be intense and full of clear meaning as those days.
The nice thing about living here and 'you see things that seem absurd even in a movie, let alone live. So out of curiosity 'and the Beatles the other night I went here in SF with my friend Marie was in a pub where the Beatles Karaoke. A guy with the piano-bar playing the songs of the Beatles and those who wanted to get up and chooses one he sang with the rest of the pub (40PP) singing. Strange and awkward, but obviously I went to sing (We can work it out) getting some applause from the audience and lots of hugs from a lady in his sixties moved (and possibly drunk ...). In late evening we were all friends, one big family united by love for music, which I and Marie were by far the most 'young, Probably the only ones in the 35-40 years ... Strange but fun. This is SF.
This morning I went in a Cessna (4 seats airplane propeller) with my colleague Cameron, who is licensed as a pilot and we flew for an hour, SF, with lots of Alcatraz and Golden Gate. E 'was great and I'll post' some photos online as' early skyscrapers seen from above (like the one above), although after an hour of turns and twists (I've also driven a few minutes!) Began to suffer, but Fortunately we came back to earth before breakfast to do the rounds that the reverse had a few hours before. My face some 'greenish, said Cameron. Not much different from the usual color, I told him. Very nice though, especially on this city 's so beautiful.
Sunday I made a picnic and a trip to Golden Gate Park: San Francisco in 1870 decides that he wants to have a mega park like New York, then the mayor takes an engineer's design is something nice (already '), is clean and level an area of \u200b\u200bthe city '20% more' big Central Park and takes in miles of walks, Japanese Tea Garden, Conservatory of Flowers and Botanical Garden, Academy of Sciences, a museum, with waterfalls and lakes and islands boats that run, a baseball stadium and all the sports fields (there 'but also something like curling up ....), lawn area with Dutch tulips and windmills, grazing buffalo, horse and cliffs with the ocean beach ... the result 'stunning, with 19 million a year and it takes hours to turn it around (I just saw half'), and the engineer can do all this in a few year or so. Gia '. There are too many squirrels who have no fear to approach. And by the way dogs and other animals as well as there you can lie down anywhere without fear of sitting on the grass or walk instead of a breakfast that has finished the course originally laid down by Mother Nature, 'cause all collect the needs of their animals. This is SF. Below here you see a picture of Conservatory of Flowers.
And many other things: I knew a bit 'of French boys with whom I went to play football pitches within an hour and a half playing with boys met them'. Not happened to me for years, dude. As in Italy, with the difference that the children were of all nationalities' races and in the world. This is SF. Today comes de Ceci Account for the weekend and in a few days Fabrizio Bianchi arrived at Stanford, so 'will' s a bit of Turin (and Rho ...) in Silicon Valley. Some friends are planning a weekend in Las Vegas + Grand Canyon, others go to Hawaii, the friends of popular clu invite me to their (Boston, New York, Sweet Home Alabama, Kansas, Washington, Florida ...). We'll see. At least one of these places I would like to see them. And a game of baseball, football, hockey (basketball and 'practically finished, there are now between the national superfinal Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics). We'll see. We'll see what the boss says, we'll see what the book says.
Ah, meanwhile there 'even work! Joke, I'm working hard and progressing well, very well, but I do not think the case here as to write use excel, bash, mysql and php daily. If someone 'interested I can send you the code. However I have done alone or with Cameron to design for a series of coefficients, all turned out well and quickly. Meanwhile, the project for which I've been called here to do the internship not 'started yet! Or rather, we are still at the planning stage of labor but in reality 'is slowly progressing and I work alone in the pauses between one to design and another.
A hug.
Forza Toro, Forza Italy (which I will not 'easily see the time zone ...). And U.S. forces of course, that I think of going to see in baseball megastadio (semicircle of 42 thousand seats overlooking the sea) because tomorrow morning projecting England - USA.
