An unbelievable effort....

Here I'm, back in business. Trying to work and catch up for the time I could not do everything I really should or could have done. But what is going on now....Xmas !

Sure thing - people onto presents, vacations, celebrations...Not much attention in projects to get something done quickly. But I sort of knew that and so I can't complain much. I'm not a very Xmas oriented person. Nowdays I do it for the children and to spend time together and have fun. But the "must" feeling of buying presents is what I do not like.

Oh well....Now, what is important is looking aheas and working in the direction to build something new and good for the future. That is what I like. There are plenty of things to work on this year, from personal and business projects - to social and important activities to help and sponsor. So, I will enjoy this time and see to improve my creative side on all aspects of life.

I think that is important that everyone does that. See to do what you like and what you feel good about it. Look ahead and see something you want to see and then go for it. It always work for me - BUT the trick is to think and see well and big enough...

Oh well again. Be well and be cool.

So long. Manuel

Oh, forgot....MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

Oh, voila' !

Eccoci qui, nuovamente...

Saluti a tutti, Manuel

Adventure

I got back a couple of days ago from my long trip in Europe. It was a great time and I really enjoyed doing everything I have been doing. Spent time with my mother and brother, spent time with my friends from ever, spent time with the people of my town. A lot of adventures, I would like to call it.

I noticed how the system is very different from where I'm living now. Not one thing that is the same. This is probably the great part of it.

The city also in many ways improved, became more lively, more things to do. This is what I will be missing. The possibility to get out of the house, walk for 1 minute and be in the middle of life, with people walking around, looking around and talking to each other. But we know that how Europe is. No surprise.

On the other end, I really suffered the difficulty encountered in the burocracy of things. From personal life not to speak about business, the complicated system really make your purposes to lose power. Not in my case, but I can see how it may look difficult for young people to build something from scratch.

America IS still the land opportunity. And not be swayed by the Euro.....it's sort of artifical. I mean the currency...

And last thing....please Europe, do something to your air...it is very hard to breath in the city. Nobody is anymore aware of it, but if you come from a place that has better air, you will notice. Your nose will notice and so will your body. It is simply something to face, as the place is too great to make hard to live in.

So long for now.
