Change
This photo (and the following ones) was taken at the Election Night
with NC Democratic Party event downtown Raleigh. This specific photo
was taken few moments after the announcement of Obama's election.
I don't think I was ever hugged or high fived so much by complete
strangers as tonight :>
And so many people were crying and laughing and jumping (including on
top of my left foot :P).
After many years in the US, I can definitely say one thing: when this
country needs to change, it does. And typically for the better.
Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Italy right now, where change
is basically a synonym for "bad".
But it will!

Gregg-a
For some reason he says I call him Gregg-a because I stick a vowel at the end of every word. Let's pick on the guy with the accent :>

Grande scatto! Giornalisticamente perfetta! Complimenti.
Concordo pienamente con te. Per noi rimane un sogno!
Ho letto or ora che il nostro Presidente Berlusconi non ha trovato di meglio che affermare su Obama: «Consigli gliene posso dare perché sono più anziano, lo farò quando lo abbraccerò di persona».
Che tristezza...!!!
Un caro saluto.

Thank you, everybody!
Grazie mille a tutti!
@Carlo: lo so, e' tristissimo! Spero di arrivare al punto in cui guarderemo a questi anni e rideremo di tutte le stron**te che ha detto e fatto... dalla bandana con Blair all'abbraccio da papa' con Obama.
@Abby: I was surprised in not seeing you there!
@Rossella: si, ho visto dai giornali. Ora spero di poter essere felice da qui per le notizie che arrivano dall'Italia!
@Mariella: Ci vorra' ancora del tempo purtroppo... quando mi guardo in giro in Italia, vedo gente che non sogna e non spera +. Ma quando quest'attitudine cambiera', allora voleranno calci ben dati a tutti coloro che se lo meritano! :>
