Of course I am not Thors Provoni, who began to exist in the mind of Philip Dick 47 years ago while writing "Our Friends from Frolix 8," and who will therefore exist until the end separates man from the universe. The name is important and says, in hindsight, the person that is, etymologically speaking, the mask that covers the face: we are not what we want to be (the mask we wear), but what is underneath, that which scares us and we reject.
For now, therefore, I use the mask, like 99% of all of you who are reading these lines.
I didn’t even leave years ago to seek help in space, because I think man already has at hand everything he needs to get back on track. In fact, he’s not doing so badly, despite all the Cassandras...
Here: when I will have taken off the mask and looked underneath, I will have done three quarters of the journey. And I will not need aliens to save the world, including myself.
Hey, obviously all this applies to you as well. And under the category "aliens" put whatever you like.
And now, gently pressed by various debasers, I will recite what pleases and what does not please to see on my notice board. Then you decide.
"1. I can't stand metal, death metal, punk... all those kinds of music where to understand what’s going on you first have to put earplugs in, and what you manage to (unfortunately) hear you have to decrypt, not knowing if the person playing guitar is just a goat or gave their all to make it sound out of tune that way.
2. don’t come talking to me about zombies, splatter, horror of any kind and subtype. If I really want to see blood galore, I turn on the TV at news time or watch Chi l’ha visto, Quarto Grado or Barbara D’Urso.
2.1. there are many other things I can’t stand, in the sense that I will tell you further down at the last point. When they come to mind I’ll tell you.
3. don’t give me paranoias, making indirect speeches, setting traps, trying to catch me out with words; in short: don’t hide, have the courage of what you say.
4. I am a convinced Christian, even if not specifically Catholic nor Reformed, nor Evangelical, and if you come to tell me you don’t believe because priests are pedophiles, go ahead, but immediately add that ALSO ALL karate instructors are, for example, since one was arrested the other day.
5. feel free to criticize my choices, argue if you want, but civilly and without necessarily expecting an answer from me.
6. I’m not against you, nor am I moody or psycho-something: I simply don’t want to chatter about things that waste my time. My 20,877 of existence on this earth have taught me to go straight to the point, to eliminate all those things, even perhaps pleasant, that distract me from my path. Whatever it may be."
For now, talking about myself, I think that's enough.
Nano nano!
