Dear Marco,

I have thought about us a lot these days, obviously, and have been understanding a little more of what I feel every day. I know you can't stand me right now, you must be so angry. It's your right to think that, I understand why.
I have been honest to you, everytime we talked. I don't want you to think it was all a hoax, this beautiful love we had. Still something inside me has changed and I do not feel the same way about you like I used to. I don't think this is a temporary break any longer. I'm so sorry to hurt you, I wish it could be another way.
It's horrible that I can't find a plausible reason to explain everything. Why I don't want to be in this relationship anymore. It would make things much easier. But you never did anything wrong, you were absolutely kind and understanding at any point, So I can't justify my actions like that, something inside me changed.

I don't know whether you want to talk to me again. I hope at some point you will want to.

I'm so sorry.

New features on google maps

The street view is pretty amazing, but I checked it out only for N.Work and San Francisco. It is so cool, for real!
Another apllication from the new Ruler of this century (i.e. Google) is the Panoramio thingy. It is not so broadly developed yet, but I think the idea is fun.
I also tried to use the Igoogle stuff, but that is still kind of cheesy, I reckon.
Anyway, it is every day more and more clear - who has has not understood it yet? - how badly and consequentially Google wants to be the new Microsoft, a smarter and better Microsoft, an operating system working on-line all the time.
For me it is already difficult not to think about "Google" when I wonder what the Internet for me nowadays is. Without google, gnews, gmail, blogger and youtube I guess Internet would pretty suck for me. The only problem I see in the next future is that google will get too big, too powerful, a sort of unescapable medium to do our stuff on line; a no-other-option-available reality is not very intruiguing and looks depressing and scary. So far though, Google is just much cooler,

Heart of Darkness

I had dinner in this crazy restaurant last monday: the food was bad and it was kind of expensive but the experience was unique.
I passed through the first stage of the selsection procedure for an internship at the European Commission...let´s see what happens next: they say that there are 25% of chances to get in now.
I am going to work now, another friday serving people...my life is not wonderful in these last days...but hopefully it is gonnna change for the better soon...

The movie I was waiting for

Have not seen it yet, it is already on torrent but Ill wait until it comes in the theaters...
If it is even 60% as breathtaking as the book, it is worth watching it.
take care.

It happens that in the 130 GB of music I have in my computer, there is also music I knew already ten years ago but that I did not know I had in digital format!
"Portrait in Jazz" by the Bill Evans Trio is one example...listening to it now, while reading about SMEs in Easten Europe makes the bearing of the topic possible...it is such an amazing album, a sort of elegant talk that keeps on going for 11 songs...so nice.
Take care you all...
