Giornata arcaica: Some pix

I ve already wrote about the great “arcaic day” spent a couple of sundays ago ( a short report -> http://www.macchetta.com/manolo/2007/10/07at20:32:51 ). We also took some pix on the way back. Christian (who was the driver) was left out coz no one like him :-P
Ok I lied, Actually the fault of not having zioCri in the picture is all Stefania’s .. so blame her. hehhe :-P

Here it s a pix of my “compagni di gita”.. it s a pity we took those only few moment before parting. we should have taken images of all the marry company! next time.

PS. next time is a 4 days New year’s holiday that i can suggest at 100%!…
i ll be probably in machu picchu by then..

Analphabetik 016

As some of you may know… I ve a small, indipendent music label, specialised in Extreme Electronics, called Analphabetik. The release rate is as low as you cannot even dream of, and it has the special ability to be always at least ONE year late (this thing is also known by scientists as “the Marzhan/Korvetto warmhole” theory ).

By the way after almost 3 year :-) the vynil is out !!!
Since I am kinda proud of this.. lemme do some self advertise:

Rotello doing some boxing drills

Kinda old movie ( May 2005) of me drilling with Ector Cabrera (a __great__ boxing coach)…
I am punching some pad at the Ursus gym, in viale Umbria, Milano. (http://www.boxeursus.com/ )
I am not that good, to say the truth, but i was not that so bad either…

Chocolade Pasta- Puur Vs Nutella

VS

There are millions pages about nutella on google (not to mention wikipedia) and very few about my fave sweet spread which titles the post.. so i m gonna write a couple of bit about it.
While i like Nutella ( my mom had cravings and so i m told the nevus I ve on my stomach ia a “nutella’s birthmark !!!!) and i m proud of its Italian lineage, i think Albert Heijn’s choco pasta deserve MUCH more advertise :-)
if you wonder how it can be better than the best ( nutella)….
that is hard to describe, but all the people who tasted it are now addicts..
the first two or three bites of are just as a test.. when you get used to it….
mmhh….
perfect on white bread… and focaccia!!!!

How to get it:
The only place i know it s sold is Netherland
so, If you are going in NL.. go around the city… find this sign:

(it s Albert heijn supermarket chain)

look for the sweet section and find the whole set :
red jar: bitterseet choco
blue jar: milk choco
white jar: white milk choco

the first twos are VERY lekker, the third one is a bit too sweet. good for making little games with the girlfriend but nothing more (in my opinion at least)
Everytime i play in Netherland i buy some jars and then i bring them back as present to belonging and friends..
I ve also a couple of funny stories about Manolo vs the custom …
maybe an other time i ll spill some beans.

Are you now drooling like i am ?

There is a way to get it on internet ( while the price is a bit high it does worth it..)

The Official description
This traditional Dutch dark chocolate spread is the best you can buy in Holland, absolutely delicious on a slice of bread, roll, beschuit, or croissant. 400 g per jar. Imported from Holland.

7 ottobre - Parma Giornata Arcaica!

Reduce dalla giornata arcaica:
divertentissima,
utilissima,
bellissima,
consigliatissima ! ! !

…. cosa è il movimento arcaico?

“Svegliare l’uomo arcaico che è in noi” è chiaramente un motto metaforico, ciò che avviene in realtà e che forniamo alla nostra intelligenza organica un insieme di stimoli motori e ideomotori che le consentono di ricalibrare le varie componenti del nostro modo di muoverci.
La pratica di tali esperienze corporee è da ritenersi tutt’altro che circoscritta e relegata all’ambito esclusivo dell’esercizio fisico, abbiamo infatti potuto notare come la componente emozionale svolga un ruolo di primaria importanza nel ripristino delle nostre qualità. Inoltre l’utilizzo delle rappresentazioni mentali, del pensiero, è un aspetto fondamentale dell’apprendimento umano, un percorso pragmatico che renda più precise ed eleganti le rappresentazioni interne accompagnerà indissolubilmente l’esecuzione delle esperienze materiali.
Conoscendo il nostro corpo e sviluppandone le potenzialità, diveniamo più consci dell’insieme di piaceri che la vita ci può regalare e del livello di benessere conseguibile.. continua sul sito

Chi è massimo mondini?
Leggiamo dal suo sito: Il mio approccio alle discipline corporee e psicofisiche è avvenuto mediante le arti marziali, poi ho rivolto la mia attenzione a metodi più specifici di origine occidentale. Mi ha sempre affascinato fare confronti, trovare somiglianze e differenze: cercare ciò che funziona senza sposare nessuna chiesa.

Parlando del Mondini non posso non consigliare VIVAMENTE la Zaryadka…

Zary cosa???
In russo significa “ricarica” ed è il nome che comunemente gli slavi danno alla serie di esercizi che eseguono al mattino per svegliarsi bene e per caricarsi di energia: la “ricarica” energetica avviene grazie alla vigorosa mobilizzazione dei tessuti e ci farà sentire più energici e vitali per tutto l’arco della giornata. Ancora più importante degli aspetti energetici sono quelli articolari: le nostre articolazioni hanno il bisogno assoluto e inderogabile di muoversi e funzionare al loro pieno potenziale, cosa che purtroppo non avviene né nei gesti quotidiani né con le più comuni pratiche sportive: la zaryadka invece porta gradualmente ogni singola articolazione a muoversi fino alla massima escursione, mantenendola perfettamente funzionale, inoltre allunga e “decontrae” tutte le principali catene muscolari del corpo umano, conferendo così un tono più equilibrato: anche questo contribuisce ad una miglior salute delle articolazioni in quanto non saranno più sottoposte all’eccesso di pressione dovuto a stati di contrazione persistenti.  continua..

Bando alle ciance.. ecco il riassunto della giornata..

Mattinata passata al coperto ( sui palloni!!! con la piacevole cameo di pier..), grassa mangiata e poi una bella pomeriggiata al parco a tirarci le palline e picchiare quadrupedi :-)

belli gli esercizi, ottimo l’affiatamento… cazzo se mi spiace essermi perso le settimane arcaiche!!!

Per non fare torto a nessuno (chiedo venia per dimenticanze): saluto stefan*, ciao Paol* (ovvero 3/4 del gruppo), ciao Riccardo, ciao Elena, ciao Cristian ( nostro pilota) e ciao Silvana… e ovviamente i padroni di casa massimo e silvia !!

adesso mi faccio doccettina, mangiatina e dormitone, che la sveglia all’alba di oggi mi ha provato.

dimenticavo: altri piacevoli effetti collaterali del movimento arcaico (olte alla già citata distruggi cellulite e glutei di marmo): se si parte in 3 uomini si torna con 2 donne in piu!!!
e ditemi se e poco..

Some more books review

3 books I read some years ago and I loved and I feel i can suggest anyone. they are “self-help /improving” and in a way or other kicked in my feeling to be a better person..

Tony Buzan’s Mind Map - it s a bit too long ( around 200 pages) for explaining JUST a simple concept, and the Italian version layout is so so (and the cover SUX). BUT the idea of mind mapping is great and it does expand you brain. Once you learn to mind map ( kinda easy) you wonder how you did before. the effort to learn to make them is very small and the reward is great. if it were shorter it would be a 10/10. :-)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_Mapping

Gelb ’s Thinking like Leonardo. An other book i read in Italian, layout is kinda good ( some scanning were done at LOW resolution :-|) it cover 7 field you should develop.. with exercise and all at the end of each chapter. In one he also speaks about mindmapping. if your metaprogram is “matcher” like me, you ll find many things overlap other fields… that is Great! i need to re-read it with my present level of being.. but it s a 8 /10

Richard Bandler’s Using your brain for a change. This time i read that in english. Bandler style of writing is hilarous and i found myself laughting more than a time. it also give you a nice proactive mind set and some techniques good for changing habits. the Swish is great and i use it to (almost:-) stop my nail biting - if you read and make the drills .. it s solid 10 /10

Villa Peyrano - short report

Nice party. average age:30+ .. fukkin geezer. 300 more people, so much less than the other time but the weather was much shittier this time.
I should have started at two, but i started at 1:30.. at the climax.
problem: i formatted my pc so i had only house stuff .. very NEW house ( mostly from august /september releases..)
So i started with Yves LaRock - rise up.. it s kinda “happy”, not hard and many people know it… then i started with some more sophisticated deep house (singed, low tempo, sexy..) dance floor started to fade.. and in 15 minutes there was no one.. i played some harder stuff i wanted to listen to..
and then i decided to open my old “trance” folder..
Since the dancefloow was empty .. i played for myself two of my fave track ever..

Goahead - free Beach (arjuna mix).

Great.
shit.
from.
1995.
Then i played an other fan fave “Marino Stephano - eternal rapshody”
the track is absolutely timeless and by the time there is the spoken part:
“in our ongoing process to reach the paradise we have to find a way to make thing eternal - pararaparara…”
there were two group dancing…. by the end ( 3 minutes later..) the dancefloor was full!!!
so i played an other dance track by Yves la rock - Losing Track Of Time (2006)
and it was an other dancefloor bomb!
I use the combo - singed - “maranza”* - singed - tracy..
and the dancefloor kept till 3:00 yesssssssss
since i had few “eatable” stuff i played some track twice…
shit am I a fukking joke dj! or what?
People who come and ask for Shakira and YMCA went away in delusion, the ones who stayed.. loved the set !!! Good, i cannot please everyone everytime!!
and if it s true (as my friend the Balkons says) that “Rotello is always the fucking number one”… Manuel Sanada is just behind him!!!

Enjoy !

Ps in case you wonder what “maranza” music is… i cannot descibe without being racist, and gross, and rude :-) so I ll tell you just a couple of titles to understand what i mean ..
in 2006 “Fedde Le Grand - Put Your Hands Up For Detroit”,
in 2007  “Federico Franchi - Cream”,
in early 00’s many stuff from Gigi Dagostino ( like Blah blah blah) and
back in the 90s, that “pass the toilet paper” track  ( just to name one)
