Sorry if I post here a video about skating, but it concerns Plush, and besides last week on Picture Radio we talked about scars, lol! If you haven't seen it yet, watch this video, it says a lot about Zhenya's heart.
Only a few people in the world are able to turn a tragedy - like a physical injury - in a masterpiece, beautiful like this performance! He's not "only" the greatest athlete in the history of Figure Skating, he's also an exciting artist! After his injury, Zhenya didn't give up, he continued with persistence and determination to collect successes, achieving new goals, cultivating new, ambitious dreams... What a extraordinary man!

"Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again..."

I love this quote! It's from "A good Year", the movie directed on 2006 by Ridley Scott, starring Russell Crowe.

"Forgive my lips. They find joy in the most unusual places."

"Just like a spy through smoke and lights
I escaped through the back door of the world
and I saw things getting smaller
fear as well as temptation..."

Screen-shots from "Labyrinth" by Elisa (Italian singer)

When I took the "butterflies shot", I thought about your lovely avatar!

elisa is a great singer! one of my favourite songs is "luce-tramonti a nord est" (that in english sounds like "light- sunsets in the north-east")

I agree, "Luce-tramonti a nord est" is her best song (in my opinion). I chose to post the other song, not because I like it more, but only because I always post my links according to a certain train of thought, and at that time I needed a "Labyrinth"... have you seen the hand of Robert Smith?... And the one of Elisa?...

I tried to translate part of the song: there's also an English original version sung by Elisa ("Come speak to me"), but the text is quite different, so I preferred to do my translation starting from the original Italian lyrics. My English is not perfect, so please forgive the errors!

"Talk to me like the wind through the trees
Talk to me like the sky with its land
I'm helpless but
I chose to be free

Now the truth is
the only thing that matters
tell me if to do something

if you are hearing
will you take care of everything
that I gave you, tell me

We are in the same tear
like a sun and a star
light falling from the eyes

over the sunsets of my land
over the new day
listen to me, now I learn to cry

I know I need you
I've never been able to pretend
I feel you near

the breath does not lie
nothing wrong in so much pain
nothing, nothing..."

Something powerful and romantic at the same time... I suggest this triptych:

Hello Simona! Do you miss the Eighties, perhaps?

Whooo!? Meeee? Naaah! I'm just an ordinary freaking ' 80's addict! "




Th@nx DJ Alyson 4 playing The Cure! " Boys don't cry' " is one of my
favourites! Rob Smith is such a geniously weirdo! I love " Lullaby " 2!

Speaking of Elisa.. Simply an adorable 'duet' with Luciano Ligabue!
