Viva la Vida

Coldplay - Viva la Vida
I love this song.
It’s just amazing: I loved it even before I read the Lyrics. And, actually, that’s the incredible things: no one seems to be “sure” about what exactly is the mean. Someone says it’s about Jesus (quite unlikly from my point of view: to see Jesus in there you need to “stretch” the meaning). The other, more accredited belief, is that it’s about Napoleon (the cover of the CD and a lot of what is said in the lyrics is adherent and coherent with this option).

But, as I said, I loved eat even before I read the full lyrics. It made me feel inspired. And made me think about love, life, my past, my present and my next leap. Probably more because of the great music and instruments than by the lyrics itself.
Well done Coldplay ;)

… but, wait a minute! On Wikipedia, in the page about this album, there is this section about Chris Martin:

[…]
Q magazine asked Chris Martin about the line “I know Saint Peter won’t call my name” sung in “Viva la Vida”. Martin replied: “It’s about… You’re not on the list. I was a naughty boy. It’s always fascinated me that idea of finishing your life and then being analyzed on it. And it’s that runs through most religions. That’s why people blow up buildings. Because they think they’re going to get lots of virgins. I always feel like saying, Just join a band (laughs). That is the most frightening thing you could possibly say to somebody. Eternal damnation. I know about this stuff because I studied it. I was into it all. I know it. It’s still mildly terrifying to me. And this is serious.”

So, looks like they are really into some religious message (or sort of it). Probably, just fascinated by the “figure” of Jesus himself.

Anyway, Enjoy! ;-)

It’s not another jigsaw, but you will never imagine how incredibly this number popped out O_o .
Free to wonder in the comments! ;)

A new, even bigger City

Symbian Software Ltd. logo After a year and a couple of months I’m going to leave Symbian Software Ltd. (London). It has been a very good experience as my first job in UK: a way to grow mainly, first as a Man, then as a Software Engineer… and then professionally in general.

A lot of interesting, inspiring, intelligent people (and a lot of NOT), that showed me “their way”: I took where it was worth it, not where it wasn’t… and left where I was able to.

Worse than being unable to Sleep…

… is being woke up at 8:32 on Sunday Morning, after you went to sleep around 02:30.

Wake Up!!!
Wake Up! Now!

And not just woke up “politely”: your flatmate comes back at home and turn on his super-laudly-hard-techno-rock-massive-disruptive music.

I leave at you to imagine the rest.

Ah, by the way: just attached to his room, in the flat next to us, there a very Old-Style-Super-Polite English Couple. -_-

Run Forrest, Run!
Run Forrest, Run!

Finally, I broke the 3 miles limit: 3.36 miles (around 5.41 kms!!!).

No picture this time: just click here.

P.S. And the Best is yet to Come! ;-) .

A Fox in Boundary Row, London

I was on my way to the office (yes, on Sunday: I have stuff to do ;) ), when I see something that doesn’t look correct or “in the right place”. A Fox in the middle of Boundary Row!!!

I don’t know, probably was bringing to my desk Firefox 3 RC1 ;)
Yes yes, I know: Firefox is not a Fox, but a Red Panda!!!.
