Ieri sera tutti mi dicevano: "Ho visto Madonna".

E Roma divenne Lourdes. Amen.

Quando stamane ho visto questa scena al bar, non mi sono trattenuto: DOVEVO FOTOGRAFARLA e DENUNCIARLA. Le due signorine in primo piano di spalle stanno assaporando le gioie del MARITOZZO ALLA PANNA. Appena le ho viste, non ho vomitato solo perchè mi sarei sporcato i sandali nike che indossavo. A parte l'evidente bisogno fallico surrogato (con tanto di PANNA!), non troveranno altro MARITO che il MARITOZZO nella vita. Rimarrano sole a vita, e ben gli sta. Ma dico io: comprati un vibratore a coniglio se proprio necessiti del fallo, ma per favore: evita di fare pubblica dimostrazione di ingrassamento precoce. Perchè il mondo deve assistere a questo spettacolo indegno?

Nondimeno, queste simpatiche signore adipose mi hanno posto di fronte ai limiti mattutini, ovvero quelle cose che non tollero appena svegliato, ma che passano totalmente inosservate durante il resto della giornata. Eccone un'elenco.

1. Gente che mangia cibi grassi al bar;
2. Gente che sorseggia rumorosamente il caffè;
3. Gente che non si prepara i soldi prima di arrivare alla cassa;
4. Gente con i capelli lunghi stile TOTTImaAncoraPiùCheap;
5. Gente che urla;
6. Gente che si bacia;
7. Gente che parla di calcio;
8. Gente che ride sguaiatamente;
9. Baristi lenti a recepire l'ordinazione;
10. Baristi che ti servono il caffè già zuccherato
11. Gente che mi ricorda che OGGI c'è il concerto di Madonna (e si blocca la città!)

Tutti quegli ignobili gesti sono deleteri per la mia psiche post-notturna e sono in grado di rovinarmi l'intera giornata. Non solo: se vedessi morire le persone che perpetrano questi reati, non provrei alcuna compassione; anzi ne sarei felice.

Perchè la mattina bisogna essere invisibili, non palesare la propria presenza al prossimo, in sostanza, non rompere il cazzo a me.

Poland's finest to rock Wembley

Bajm were popular across Eastern Europe before the Iron Curtain fell

Eight of Poland's top pop and rock acts perform in front of a 10,000-strong crowd at Wembley Arena on Sunday. Billed as the biggest ever Polish music event on foreign soil, what does it mean for Britain's Polish community?

Crowds of adoring fans will pack Wembley Arena on Sunday to see their favorite superstars perform to a full house.

But it will not be Madonna, Oasis or Jay-Z entertaining more than 10,000 people.

Bajm and Lady Pank may be largely unheard of in the UK but are household names in Poland, where four million viewers are expected to watch the London Live show's highlights on state channel TVP2.

Tabloid hellraiser

Described as Poland's answer to Pink Floyd and Red Hot Chili Peppers, their albums have sold three million copies.

Alongside Bracia's modern grungy-rock and Natalia Kukulska's soulfull R'n'B, the show even has its own tabloid hellraiser in Doda, who has posed for Playboy and courted controversy by spitting on stage.

Stanislaw Trzcinski, president of promoter STX Records, said: "This is like the O2 Festival, except for Polish music."

Performing at Wembley is a great honor Natalia Kukulska

Guests on stage include Jan Tomaszewski, the goalkeeper whose heroics at the old Wembley Stadium in 1973 helped secure a 1-1 draw to send Poland to its first World Cup at England's expense.Mr Trzcinski said: "The name Wembley brings back happy memories for Polish people and it remains a special place, so it was the perfect location."

Kukulska, 32, has performed with tenor Jose Carreras and duetted with British R'n'B star Lemar at the Sopot festival in Poland in 2005.

She said: "Performing at Wembley is a great honor. I hope I will draw energy from the people who have played there in the past."

After picking up influences of Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston during a year in the US, she blended them with her own style to sell 2.5 million records at home.

Free tickets

"I'm very excited because this is the first time a lot of artists from Poland are performing abroad together," she added.

Costing almost £1m to stage, the event has been advertised on 30 London buses and is being beamed back to Poland in high definition, thanks to a 100-strong production crew. Tickets were free to those who registered.

More than one million people voted in an internet talent competition giving bands the chance to perform on a second stage outside the arena, where they will be joined by top acts from the UK and Ireland's Polish communities.

The show's arrival reflects the remarkable influx of Poles into Britain.

After the Second World War, the Polish Resettlement Act allowed around 200,000 people to remain in the UK. They were mainly Polish troops, who had fought alongside the British, and their dependents.

By 2001, the census recorded just 60,680 Polish-born people living in Britain.

But since Poland's accession to the EU in 2004, those numbers have swollen to the 405,000 estimated by the government last year, although the numbers arriving has dropped in recent months.

Appetite for rock

At least 100,000 settled in London, with many basing themselves around established Polish communities in western districts like Hammersmith.

There, the Posk cultural centre boasts the largest library of Polish books outside Poland, a gallery, restaurant and 350-seat theatre.

Supermarkets across Britain have started stocking Polish goods and delicatessens have sprung up in many towns.

THE PERFORMERS Bajm: Six-piece rock outfit, formed in 1978, their 13 albums all went gold or platinum Wilki: Hard-rock band, named "Wolves", have performed in New York and London Doda (pictured): Daughter of an Olympic weightlifter, gave up athletics to be a pop tearaway Natalia Kukulska: Began singing aged seven and sold 1.5 million records as a child star Kayah: Was a backing singer before her solo career in soul, jazz and R'n'B took off Bracia: Their grunge-rock style made this band - "The Brothers" - favourites with younger fans Monika Brodka: Her soulful voice was inspired by her idols Erikah Badu and Lauren Hill Lady Pank: These punk survivors formed in 1982, playing 400 gigs to promote their debut album

But Piotr Grzeskiewicz, station director at Hammersmith-based Polskie Radio Londyn, said there had been little to feed young migrants' appetite for rock and pop.

"Hundreds of thousands of Polish people in Britain have limited access to modern Polish culture and this is their best opportunity in many years to see some really big Polish bands," he said.

Organizers hope many Britons will be at Wembley.

However, Mr Grzeskiewicz said: "The language barrier is huge. Only a few of these bands have played abroad and usually only for Polish fans."

Warsaw-based bank PKO BP financed the event to promote its central London branch, which opened last December to cater both for migrants and British businesses investing in Poland.

Branch manager Katarzyna Cal said the move demonstrated the growing confidence in Poland's economy and the number of investors keen to do business in the country.

Meanwhile, Dr Jan Mokrzycki, chairman of the UK's Federation of Poles, admits he prefers the classical works of Chopin to today's rock.

Vibrant

But the 75-year-old said the event would help build understanding between the established and newly-arrived Polish communities.

Initial tensions between the groups are diminishing, said the dental surgeon whose mother - a former Nazi concentration camp detainee - brought him to Britain in 1948 to escape communism.

"A combination of their youth, enthusiasm and education and our knowledge of the laws and customs of Britain is helping integration," said Dr Mokrzycki.

"Cultural events of the old community have been traditional, forged from our experiences of pre-war Poland, so involve mostly classical or folk music.

"The new culture is vibrant with jazz and pop and it's important younger people have access to that." ]]> http://scegligesu.wordpress.com/?p=1289 Sat, 06 Sep 2008 08:31:42 +0000 scegligesu http://scegligesu.wordpress.com/?p=1289

"Nascere di nuovo" non significa altro che accettare quello che Dio ha di meglio per te ed iniziare a vivere con e per Lui! Quello che ha riservato per te è un regalo, perchè ha già pagato Lui sulla croce!

:) Infatti io so i pensieri che medito per voi», dice il SIGNORE: «pensieri di pace e non di male, per darvi un avvenire e una speranza.
Geremia 29:11

The Wilson sisters, Ann and Nancy (pictured above in the 1970s), of the rock band Heart are furious that Alaska Governor and Republican Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin used Heart's song "Barracuda" at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota on Wednesday night. Palin, who attended an Alaskan Secession conference with her husband in 1994 and wanted to ban certain books from the town library as Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, was apparently nicknamed "Sarah Barracuda" during her high-school basketball days.

The Wilson sisters stated that permission was NOT granted for the GOP to use the song at their Bund meeting . . . uh, I mean convention. The Wilsons even sent a cease-and-desist letter to the GOP, which read in part:

"The Republican campaign did not ask for permission to use the song, nor would they have been granted that permission."

The McCain campaign lied through their teeth (surprise, surprise) and stated that permission to use the song had been granted (but offered no proof that permission had actually been granted).

Hmmm. Who should we believe? The songwriters who still own the rights to their song or a campaign known for telling one bald-faced lie after another? I think the answer is pretty obvious.

Can't those neocon nincompoops ever get it right when it comes to music? People still talk about how Ronald Reagan tried to appropriate Bruce Springsteen's "Born In The U.S.A." during a 1984 campaign stop in New Jersey, which drew a very angry response from The Boss.

Props to the Wilson sisters to standing up to the "hockey mom." Maybe Palin will try to get Heart's music banned from radio in Alaska in the same fashion that she has tried to fire the Alaska State Trooper who had the gall to divorce her sister. Oooohhh! Can't piss off the "hockey mom," can we? She's like a "pit bull with lipstick." Oh, puh-leeze!! Are people really falling for this nonsense? What a joke!

Given Palin's well-publicized family situation, maybe her theme song should've been "Papa Don't Preach" by Madonna. Then again, Madonna doesn't like McCain either.

After 100 years of successful career, Madonna is still super HOT & rocking the house. As of Today one of my fav songs/video is Madonna "Give It 2 Me" (feat. Pharrell). I can definetly hear this song being played all across the planet. We all know Madonna's music has matured throughout the years and honestly that's one thing I've always admired about her. I'm sure you all agree with me on that one, if not post a comment with your response.

   To Hold A Concert………………….

   To Produce An Oscar Winning Film………………….

   To Live A Sweet Life…………………………………….

   Those statements might be construed as an objectives or ambitions.  Those are not, those are some of the things I wanted to fulfill.  There are lots of them.  If I am to describe the things I wanted to do, I believe I only realized 10% of them.  Unfortunately, the above statements are still to be realized.

   Yes, I did splurge my hard earned money on records, cds, cassette tapes and audio components.  They are some of the things I wanted to buy when I was younger.  Sadly, may parents economic power could not accommodate those items.  Thus, i have to satisfy my indulgence in sounds and music by borrowing those items from my friends, neighbors, and relatives.

  Yes, I have dine in a fancy restaurant.  I have drown myself in different flavors of alcohol in fancy bars to boot.  I have always imagine myself in fancy restaurants and fancy bars.  I don’t live in imagination.  Thus, I did spend a big portion of my hard earned money living my imagination.

  Yes, I stacked my room with magazines from GQ to Penthouse, from National Geographics to National Enquirer.  I stacked my bookshelves with books from Dailey to Daly, from Harrold Robbins to Jerome Robbins.  I love to read until now.  Back when I was younger, a trip to Alemars Bookstore made my day.  I browsed their shelves, peeking on latest paperbacks.  I could not buy one, my allowance was limited to jeepney fare only.

  Yes, I am still a junior manager.  I was not able to realize my dream of becoming an executive before reaching the age of 40.  There were bad decisions, painful decisions, and dumb decisions.  There bad behaviors, bad actions, and bad notions. 

  Yes, I am able to manage right now my deprivations.  A lot of opportunities were wasted, ending up myself frustrated.  A lot of dreams are still to be realized.  Time goes by so slowy for those who wait, as Madonna sang in one of her hit songs.  On the other hand, patience is a virtue for those who have something to wait.  Even though age is fast catching me up, I still want to pursue the 90% of these unrealized dreams.  I will take it one day at a time.

Small steps, big steps, giant steps, moving stopping..

Roaming aimless, wandering headless, thinking no less

   waiting for you, waiting, don’t go breaking my heart!! - madonna

   don’t go breaking my heart, i couldn’t if i tried!! - elton john

- and on on and on and on and on on and the beat goes on !! - madonna

Seeing nothing, trying not to hear anything, I am confused

Smelling something, feeling everything, this is adventure.

Remembering, emphatizing this is getting obscure.

    and I feel like I just got home and I feel - madonna

    I want to love you pretty young thing - michael jackson

I was only wishing you would notice me, instead you said goodbye - orchestral manuevers in the dark

  Don’t you wish you wrote them and sang it bastardly?

  Don’t you think the words were yours when your wounded badly?

  Don’t you want to strangle them and kill madly?

   See the storm set in your eyes, see the thorn twist in your side - U2

   Shaved heads raved heads  on the pill got too much time to kill - suede

   No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
   No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it’s dark - the vapors

Everywhere in Life, it is stillness and darkness.

Anywhere in Life, there is madness and restlessness

Somewhere in Life, you think you found happiness

The Power of Goodbye - Madonna  We don’t need to be forever binded to the things that we love yet give us suffering.  As they said freedom is not freedom when we are not free from any bondage that make us suffer severely.  We should liberate ourselves from any of these bondage.  Let us not be tied and blinded of the happiness offered.  We cannot move on to serenity and contentment when we can not distinguish the things that give us happiness from the things that can give us pain. 
Pain is a warning that something’s wrong

Your heart is not open

So I must go

The spell has been broken

I loved you so

    Like everything else in life there are so many things in life that we love.  Some are concrete, some are abstract.  No matter what the form of these things we love, we enjoy them, we are at happiest when we are with these things.  However, the things we love often, disappoint us, leaving us in deep misery and often hurt us at deepest level.  It is true that there are things that reach the abyss of our soul when they give us satisfaction yet can give us  pain similar to what the guy in calvary cross experience.  The pain is excruciating because our love for these things can give us pain, and it really hurts acknowledging the sorrow it bestow.

Freedom comes when you learn to let go

Creation comes when you learn to say no

You were my lesson

I had to learn

I was your fortress

You had to burn

   We find it hard to liberate ourselves, because we believe that the things that satiate our senses can give us the sanctuary we ached.  But in the end, we realized and come to our senses, that the things are just manifestations of the abstractions we felt and wanted to be real.  Thus, we regressed, in deep slumber we retreat, we don’t accept.  Just stay still, hoping we can still licked the scar the wound has left.

I pray to God that it won’t be long

Until we can truly feel the pain deep down the trench it hold, we can not assume that we can be better.  History repeat itself only to people that do not learn from it. God can only act if we learn to accept the fact and do not only react.  God can make things real for us, if we embrace the lessons we have to deal.  Unless, we said cut, then……………

I wanna go higher

We can not forever improve ourselves and predicament, if we do not know what we really want to do.  It’s true that the horizon out there is wide and deep and we do not really see what is beyond what our eyes can see.  We want to discover, but first grab a bag and pack.  Open another bag and unpack and let go off the many monkeys nesting in your back.  After which, hum the rest of the song

There’s nothing left to try

There’s no place left to hide

There’s no greater power than the power of good-bye

Your heart is not open

So I must go

The spell has been broken

I loved you so

You were my lesson

I had to learn

I was your fortress
There’s nothing left to lose

There’s no more heart to bruise

There’s no greater power than the power of good-bye

Learn to say good-bye

I yearn to say good-bye
There’s nothing left to try

There’s no more places to hide

There’s no greater power than the power of good-bye
There’s nothing left to lose

There’s no more heart to bruise

There’s no greater power than the power of good-bye

DIRECTOR: Guy Ritchie

STARRING: Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, Thandie Newton, Idris Elba

As you may know, RocknRolla was released in the UK on the 5^th of September (yesterday) and sure as our names our Vicky and Dre we saw it on the day. What can we say, it’s a typical Guy Ritchie movie – dodgy dealings, funny encounters and plenty of one-liners. It’s hard to describe the actual storyline of the movie but it was really entertaining,   although quite long.

The film was very funny, we actually laughed OUT LOUD (shock horror!) But we found that Idris Elba was severely under-used and the storyline was quite hard to follow in parts. Go see it though if you’ve got some cash and some time- it’s worth it.

What did we learn from this movie? If you behave like Pete Doherty you can be immortalised in film. And that Roman Abramovich can act!!

THIS MOVIE GETS:♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

7/10

E il concerto si teneva di Giovedì, perchè la settimana del concerto era la settimana del concerto. Cominciò a cantare sul palco Open Your Heart, e quindi disse: "Ciao Italia. Ciao Torino. Hello Everybody! Per favore, non spaingete. Ok? Siete pronti? Siete caaldi? Bene ànch'io."

Oggi dico che sarebbe stato bello esserci. Ma a quel concerto, non a quello che fa oggi, di Sabato da brava borghese, a Roma, con la torma di finocchie che la seguono. Perchè oggi, dopo venti anni, Madonna ad essere ancora lì s'è fatta rassicurante.

Ora, spazio ai vostri crudeli commenti!

Na tarde desta ultima sexta-feira, a assessoria de imprensa "Time For Fun", da turnê de Madonna, confirmou a apresentação extra que a cantora Madonna fará no Rio de Janeiro. O segundo show no Rio será realizado no dia 15 de novembro.

A venda de ingressos para os dois shows que ocorrerão em São paulo ainda continua. A assessoria somente não divulga quantos ainda estão disponíveis. Porém, neste final de semana, haverão dois pontos de venda na cidade: parque Vila-Lobos, que funcionará apenas no sábado das 12 às 17 horas, e o parque Anhembi, aberto sábado e domingo das 12 às 18 horas.

Muito difícil arranjar ingressos para o show dela aqui no Brasil? Procurando algo diferente, e ainda de quebra ver o show da Madonna? Buenos Aires certamente será o lugar!

Existem pacotes promocionais com tudo incluso: passagem aérea, seguro de viagem, 3 noites de hotel com café da manhã, traslados, city tour, e é claro o ingresso para ver um dos shows mais esperados d ano! Pacotes partem de 5x de U$ 213,00 pela operadora Maktour. Para maiores informações, consulte seu agente de viagens, ou mande um email para Realização Viagens:

Vlasnici Balkanskog dijela Mirax grupe odlucili su se da Madoni, povodom njenog koncerta koji ce se odrzati u Budvi 25.septembra, poklone jednu od vila iz njihovog ekskluzivnog kompleksa Astra Montenegro.

Procjenjuje se da je vrijednost vile oko 2 miliona eura, dok je njena velicina oko 326 metara kvadratnih. Vila se nalazi na obali izmedju Becica i Budve, a vlasnici Mirax grupe odlucili su se na ovaj potez iz strateskih razloga: naime, oni vjeruju da ce Madonino posjedstvo jedne od vila iz njihovog kompleksa doprinijeti atraktivnosti i popularnosti Mirax Grupe kod potencijalnih kupaca ostalih vila u ponudi.

Ostaje samo da se vidi da li ce Madona ovu vilu koristiti, te da li ce se zaista vratiti nekada u Crnu Goru na odmor. U svakom slucaju, vjerovatno je da ce ovim poklonom biti vise polaskani clanovi Mirax grupe, nego sama Madona.

KONCERT:

Evo kako bi to moglo izgledati na Madoninom koncertu na Jazu 25. septembra:

Ulaznice za Madonin koncert krecu se od 35 do 200 eura, a prema informacijama organizatora, najvise je interesovanja za karte od 70 eura. Najskuplje ulaznice vec su rasprodate.

Koncert ce se odrzati na plazi Jaz 25.septembra.

Nakon proslogodisnjih Rolling Stones-a koji su otvorili budvansku binu velikih zvijezda, i Lenny Kravitz-a koji je na Jaz-u gostovao u avgustu, Madonin koncert je jedan od najvecih desavanja ikada organizovanih na crnogorskom primorju.

PROJEKAT ASTRA MONTENEGRO

U sklopu naselja Astra Montenegro (Zvijezda Crne Gore) bice oko 40 vila poput one namijenjene madoni, a pocela je i izgradnja hotela visokog kvaliteta.

Projekat je u izgradnji na rtu Zavala kod Budve.

Kapaciteti se uglavnom reklamiraju medju bogatasima na ruskom trzistu.

Vlasnik grupe Miramax, tridesetpetogodisnji ruski milijarder Sergej Polonski, predvidja da ce se u ovaj projekat uloziti na desetine miliona eura, a isti vidi Crnu Goru kao potencijalnu top destinaciju u bliskoj buducnosti, i smatra da ce Astra Montenegro podici nivo kvaliteta ponude crnogorskog turizma.
