Solid Core Scooter Wheels

Untitled

I went downstairs and entered the underpass leading to the subway. I came face to face with the mayor. He was wearing a reflective vest, he was holding the handle of a mop and smiling at passers-by. A farce, when did the mayor he would have to do such a thing? What an 'idea so old it could still be considered for a poster campaign was simply ridiculous.
Even more considering that guy was. In five years he had only seen the first of the Opera House and the delivery of "Tombini gold" awards to deserving city. Surely, however, did not miss the opportunities that more closely mundane where there was a buffet.
Now he had to bring his learning and his dresses in the middle of the "people", those who were wandering the city like cockroaches abbruttiti as he moved in cars with drivers.
had to get their hands dirty and to be there, be seen. So the way to appearances at various, useless, boring events (some created especially to relaunch electorally) seeking faces to smile, shake hands (but not too much that it ruined the nails), which wash away the minds not only the memory of a pathetic management of the city, but also the various scandals and disasters that have had dotted. He tried desperately to seem human.
"Smile!" They said, "Smile," and he smiled until his face sfiancare, deforming it had never before been seen.
embarrassment emanating from the media campaign as the tears from weeping madonnas. I looked at the posters on the walls of the city flourished: the scavenger mayor, the mayor engineer, with the helmet that bore the symbol of an underground line that no one knew when it would have been concluded, nor with what money would be paid the mayor label represents a point in future to a group of children with colorful hats and promised that the city \u200b\u200bwould be greener (on the contrary, he argued that it already was), then the mayor and the family-friendly, affectionate embracing another group of babies that appear under hypnosis while hairy lasagne served in school canteens and schools did not have funds for buy toilet paper.

Always looking at me with that smile, frozen, paralyzed, chilling. I had always seen him serious, aloof, suddenly tried to look nice and the only way he knew to do was tighten up the jaw, opened his eyes and baring his teeth, as the Joker in Batman hallucinated or a clown in amphetamine MacDonald .
Here, it was transformed, had become small, and wanted to be my friend, with that smile, holds out a hand-painted nails and asked me to vote for it, please.

quell'inchino But it was not a humble opinion go back to the voter. Bend your head yes, but it was a calculated gesture, limited, a bow of courtesy that he needed to get more time to continue to get about his business. His eyes were wide open, alert, ready to jump for the jugular when I did not oblige.

shivered. Better get started or I would be late.

Happy Birthday Verses 21

Fight Club for girls: Black Swan

For some 'of years here, the fact that a film wins an Oscar and' become more 'a sign that something brand you can trust a little, rather than a seal quality 'as in reality' would be. If someone says "Ah, but the movie / actor / actress has taken the Oscar!" it immediately begins to doubt the goodness' of the work. And Black Swan is not affected by this law now universal.

Nina (Natalie Portman) and 'a young (?) Dancer who aspires to leading role in the ballet "Swan Lake". Nina despite being clever and 'too little and virginal woman to address the dual role that history: while the white swan is from God, the role of the black swan that is the dark lady, is not their own. And who is surprised about this, to see her room pink-barbie, full of bunnies and porcelain dolls and considering the mother (an unrecognizable Barbara Hershey) that is over-protective 'him like he had another 10 years?
to try to pull out his personality 'of a woman and with it its dark side, we think Vincent Cassel in the role of director-choreographer Mephistophelian that two or three times even manages to poke his tongue in his mouth, but always for the duty at work.
The unexpected friendship-rivalry 'with Lily, another dancer more 'great and a lot more' uninhibited, it makes things even more 'complicated' cause Nina begins to have visions in which all the characters you are involved including, much to not understand 'when it comes to reality' or psychosis.

Envy, professional jealousies, hidden passions, paranoia and influences of personality ', there' s a bit of everything. The film in itself 'is not at all boring, thanks to the dance scenes, moves well without moments of boredom but' make the inevitable comparison with the explosive masterpiece by David Fincher "Fight Club" and ask, "There would be Black Swan if it were not for the first Fight Club? ".

Nina 's a bit like a character in Edward Norton who does not know that they are doing everything himself. Even though Nina does not have its own version of Tayler Durden splits and other projects often on what 'but that does to' itself. Nina also seeks his freedom ', his new identity', disconnected from the stereotype that everyone, including whether 'it are you. As in Fincher's film are not only psychological but physical injuries while in Fight Club you break your face punched, there are mysterious Black Swan in skin diseases of nervous origin which at times are just hallucinations. In both films are two clear messages: "You can not delegate decision-making power over your life to others" and also "everyone is entitled to its unique 'independent of their origins." Finally, in both films the consequences the duplication of research and psychological interior are real and especially irreparable! But the difference is 'that Fincher's film was all told with irony and disbelief' as in "Black Swan" the horror of psychosis (even if it is never named) and 'tragic and real, there's' blood, becomes almost boring in the end.

There are some things not very believable in the film, the kind that Nina has no friends or friends to confide in, which tell of the horrific nightmares he has. And then the absurdity 'of the skin disease: why' spending so much money in a cream-covered instead of going to a dermatologist? And then I do not doubt that Natalie Portman is good but I honestly try to pass it to a 19 years old and 'a bit' too risky 'cause it has almost 30 years. Funny that Nina criticize the mother saying that at 28 his career was over as a dancer while in reality 'she' already 'more' that 29 year old!

I find it somewhat 'unnerving Portman's face, ever contract in a grimace of pain but can not communicate passion or desperation or fear or who knows' cock. Watching the film you wonder if the Oscar was for "best face frowning "...? I also feel that the director would actually 'a copy of the young Audrey Hepburn and Portman can not' be another actress.
Vincent Cassel knows how to make good its share of bewitching a man and manipulator. It is not clear good because 'citing Benjamin Millepied between actors (not 1 / 2 first floor ... and' always on the sides of frame), maybe just because it 's become the partner of Portman. Mila Kunis rather good in the role of Lily, and 'funny despite the rivalry' with the main character (indeed, almost tifiamo for her). A surprise for the series "Night Shift" and 'Wynona Ryder in a cameo by the dancer at the end of his career: his face half-covered and constantly' a disturbing presence, almost like the child of "Ring". Together with the already 'mentioned Barbara Hershey (horribly disfigured by botox), gives the stories a minor-ish flavor to Aldrich, "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane," which if you think about is blood run cold.

A technical note on the excellent range of colors that dominate the film are cold and very few, very light and incredibly dark, makes the atmosphere claustrophobic. The red appears only on the first stage, the yellow orange appears only in the seduction scene between Lily and Nina.

there or am I doing?

We have indeed!
Overall
Black Swan 'interesting, leave a message, but somehow lacks the bite that made a legendary movie Fight Club. Even without Oscar, Fight Club, 'was like a grenade in the brain, has changed the lives of many people (including this writer) with his enlightening as in situations where there is a theater of shadows Sinhalese our reality' of all day. Black Swan a few years may be remembered as a great horror movie or a soap-schizoid to post frigid teenager (whose interpreter was not so much post-adolescent), thanks to the noise produced by the OSCE. We'll see.

The Rise and Fall of Karl Theodor von Guttenberg

Guttemberg Karl Theodor von, the German defense minister, and is' resigned after nearly three weeks since the outbreak of the scandal attached to his thesis.
Quick Facts: A university professor has read for the event, at 7 years after graduation to Guttemberg, his thesis and has found something strange. Many pieces to the professor sounded familiar, too familiar and doing a quick search found that 25% of the thesis was "copied", showing conspicuously quotes from more 'famous experts, but without' it names, and then doing move the work of others for its own, ie 'to Guttemberg.

The news has obviously caused a sensation in Germany: everyone has thrown in search of a 'cause and for how. The "common" people were incredulous Guttemberg became the prince of the nation, with its good manners, clean her pretty face, his wife, the look honest and uncompromising.
Angela Merkel, taken aback, said after a moment of embarrassment that would have verified the truthfulness' of the illustrious professor of the allegations against his minister. Later, when the percentage of plagiarism and 'was confirmed, Merkel said that "to do their jobs well Guttenberg did not need a degree." Which may 'be true, but the problem' that the Minister has lied to clean, and quite serious.
I think of all those working to study, to get that extra point 'that can' improve their lot and I am not surprised that they could not tolerate this exception, especially in a country where the "piece of paper" still serves seriously.

Guttemberg To save his party leader has even accused, with knowledge Berlusconi, that it was a conspiracy of the left.
E 'was still useless pressed by public opinion and the media, the minister is Guttemberg and' resigned. A sign indicates that this decency, however, a decency that in countries such as Italy, now does not exist more '.
Faced with the capitulation of this former minister, who somehow has admitted to being wrong (even if not fully, in fact, some suspect that the argument is the work of a ghost writer), I naturally ask me why 'in Italy things do not go the same way. How 'possible that a defense minister should resign because' "copied to school" and instead of a prime minister accused of tax evasion, relations with minors, aiding and abetting the prostitution of minors (and in my opinion 'such as rape), the otherwise threaten him and posing as a victim?! And how and 'possible that in Germany a Catholic Bavarian party's agriculture policies (the most' Catholic soil Germanic) has never clung religion or asked for the intervention or support the church even at a very black, while in Italy the Vatican is quick to change the interpretation of its dogmas (but valid 'for all normal people) to accommodate the whims of the powerful? Evidently there is' something wrong.

values \u200b\u200bare upside down in Italy, and 'just what happened in "Pinocchio, Collodi we presented it as a sarcastic joke, honest people are in jail, the guilty run free.
As restated Jackson in his song, just inspired by Pinocchio "... in prison to prison, and that will serve as a lesson." Italy and 'a country where provincial rule, where he 'always preferred the beautiful facade and hypocritical to the substance, honest but unfortunate.

recent years and Italy is' barbarized, as a country where poor people sell their children to the rich for a loaf of bread. The only difference is 'that the Italians of today do it for more' money. It seems that things are more 'normal, like love, honesty', work, imagination, they are just shit on my balls. The only thing that matters is the money power, appear on television, plastic surgery. There 'a lot of difference between today's Italy and Albania after the dictatorship, when the women (wives, daughters, grandchildren did not care) were forced into prostitution by their families in more 'rich Europe.

This time he did the knot too tight ...
There 'unfortunately it any wonder then, that in Germany Guttemberg has been forced to leave his post , while in Italy today, if ever a politician guilty of any offense to resign we would really, really, really surprised.
