Living far from any City? i know how you feel

2 days ago I turned 18!! and I'm now an adult in Italy, i can be judged by law, have my driving license ext ext . . . I though it would be a day like another one, yes with a party with friends and presents :D ( they even dressed me like a bitch >.< ) but i was wrong!! i spent all the day thinking about everything in my life: my friendships, the school , basketball and everything that comes with them. They told me that my problem is that i think too much , it can be useful sure; thinking about phylosphy historical events or just how a person act helps me understand how humanity is. However it has also some negative aspects, spending too much time in my immagination don't let me feel me good with myself, it's like there are two of me: one that want to be something that i immagine and the other one who knows i can't be like that but still speaks to the other me and says " oh it's fine maybe with time you will become what you want to be ". But i came at the end of this, i couldn't understand why this was happening even if they told me how to do, but it was a concept that i had to understand by myself. " You can't find a solution for a problem that doesn't exist" that's why i didn't have a good relation with myself. The " imagining " part of myself always wanted to become something that wanted to resolve all the bad things of my life even if they were of little importance. " Grab what you find find in front of you. don't follow all the dreams that you have" that's what i think now . . . I know that all that i said still comes from my mind but it came after i talked with a person, so i think i more a reaction than a abstract concept.
i think there are more things to say but this is enough at the moment :D

In 8 levels and 34 common affirmation, from " Wher's the apostrophe " to problem with " txtPippo"

Did you ever met a person that even in his fairness don't understand anything about computer? And you kindly tried to explain . . . well, we are brothers!! What follow are the common things they asked me. The purpose is to make astonish who comprehend, intimidate the lamers, and apologive with who doesn't really understand anything about computer :P

>> Level 1 - Serous Ignorant
" Wher's the apostrophe?" - Where the hell do you think it is! Why do you ask me, you have a keybord, 102 buttons, search for it!!

" To click means with the left or right button?" - ... my sister discovered that alone even if nobody told her.

" Start???! Omg, wher's start??" - Where it is found from ' 93 ... but you don't know it.

>> Level 2 - Engaged Ignorant
" My computer is slow . . . How can i make it run faster?" - At the question " working programs " he turns in a timorous face.

" Wait Wait . . . I must align a text to the right ... isn't there a faster way than pressing space??"

" How can i know if somebody is watching my documents and i don't have a virus? " - Every answer scares him. He was prepared with a thermometer in the fan.

FAMOUS - He shows me a message, at the question " What message " immediate silence

VERY FAMOUS " I must rewind the DVD when i'm done? "

>> Level 3 - Dull Ignorant
FAMOUS " What's the site to download music? " - " ther's no site to, there are some programs that allow you to" - " ah got it . . . so i take Internet Explorer and what adress should i write? sure i put .mp3 in the end ..."

" I can't read my mails " - When you ask him if he uses Outlook, or if he uses a browser, and exasperate you ask him for he email adress, you discover that it begins with http://www "

BE MERCIFUL " I can't find the installation CD of MSN " - he's ashamed of not knowing what MSN is, explain with patience "

" A lot of windows continuously open, i don't know what to do !!" - Solution : DON'T click where " click here " is written "

>> Level 4 - Minimum Wise

" I must format, i must format ..." (the day he tries) " .. i don't know, i'm gone on computer's resource, i clickked with the right button ( proud of having found it ) and then i pressed format, but i can't understand why it says i can't"

" I have the installation file, now what i should do?" - is not enough to have the wizard of the InstallShield... you need magician Merlin to understand that you must press only and always NEXT "

" eMule don't work" - Satisfied you already suppose problem of socket, locked doors or something like that! No. You look at his monitor and remain astonish when you notice " Not connected "

" eMule download slowly " - This time he's connect , no doubt about that. When you ask him how much files he have shared, he looks at you like a hen when you try to explain something intelligent.

>> Level 5 - Persistent Foolishness
" The program don't work " - with heavy imprecisions on " don't work" .But it is a riddle. Beginning from how it doesn't work, you must guess what program he's talking about.

VERY FAMOUS
" Why internet doesn't work?" - You give up when you understand that he can't tell you if the jack was stick.

" I don't know, Windows gives me an error in red " - In red means the icon Critical on the MessageBox. He can tell ypu that. But again, the message transcend the knowledge.

"Sometimes a button or two doesn't write, i think i have a virus , what should i do?" - ohhh yes what a cruel act somebody created a malefic virus that don't let you write with a button sometimes waaa! A criminal!

FAMOUS " What should i do when they ask me to gvie the permission to enter internet?" - Characteristic, for every program that ask permission he calls you . . .You let in the programs you know and the other not . . . affermative answer . . . call again " Do i know winword.exe ??"

VERY FAMOUS " Nothing work " - Nothing and Work remain unknown . . . it's a pity that in the minimum statement they are subject and verb.

>> Level 6 - Minimum of Laming
" How can i create a virus?" - Perplexed you ask him if he has some knowledge on programming . . . he asks you if ther's the autocomposition somewhere.

" How can i destroy the pc of my friend?" - Preceded that he will ask you if there is an autocomposition, you answer that he must bombard it with a F17, he search for it in the keyboard.

" How can i enter in a hidden site?" - Don't worry, he doesn't even know what it means... Usualy he thinks about something like defacting. To avoid that he hurts himself you say him " Write the adress and press enter without being seen".

>> Level 7 - Diffused Contamination by Lamer

" I discovered what Brutus is!! ... Do you know , let me think , the adress of the ... Pentagon ... is it possible to enter??" - Don't think he know what an IP is, just tell him Army Navy Dr & Fern St Arlington 22202

" How can i duplicate a DVD?" Don't slap him when he begins to complain that there isn't the autocomposition and he can't do Ctrl-C Ctrl-V.

A big thanks to The_Lizard for letting me translate this!! I love you :P

Today at school we have discussed about how different situations like war or famine forge people. We started comparing old family with new one. In italy there were colonial houses where all the members of a family lived: parents, grandparents and all the relatives . The hierarchy and the hard economical situation made everybody work harder, but the most important thing is that blood and love bound were indestructible. Now this kind of family is disappeared and the new system is very different. They can't afford to have more than one child and work is becomed the most important thing! I see colonial houses disappearing and with them the spirit of our ancestors but at last we thaught us something. We must keep our bold with who we love and we trust steady because they will help us. I know it's a sentence that everybody knows but even if it is i see that not everybody does that . . .

I heard a lot of people saying that is impossible to have a good friendship when you meet in the internet, maybe while chatting or looking some blog. Well I disagree with them. 4 months are passed since i was looking for an international mailing site for my best friend, I found one but i decided to try it my myself. One day while i was looking at some profiles i found a cute , and when i say cute i mean Cuuuuteee , american girl who's learning italian so i said " why not help her?". Her name's Katherine, she's from Miami and she's lovely :D . SInce i met her learned a lot of thing about the school, the life and that you can have a real friendship even if you have never seen the other person! Now when i log in the evening i'm very pleased becouse ther's somebody tell call me and says " giulioooooooooo i'm bored!" . If you have the opportunity to build a friendship with somebody even if he/she is far from you don't lose it! it can born a beautiful thing!
