Cheer up, Brian, you know what they say:



I love this. It cheers me up, no matter what.
----

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best, hey

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse you're lips and whistle, that's the thing

And, always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin
Give the audience a grin
Enjoy it, it's your last chance anyhow

So, always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece o' shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Remember that the last laugh is on you

And, always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
Come on, Brian cheer up!

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life

Worse things happen at sea, you know!
I mean, what do you have to lose?
You come from nothing
You go back to nothing
What have you lost? nothing!

Meet Adam!




Ciao a tutti.

Il 2 ottobre, esattamente quattro ettimane fa, mia moglie Leen ha dato alla luce Adam.
Per i lunghi mesi della gravidanza non abbiamo praticamente parlato d'altro, quindi il suo arrivo, che comunque cambia tutto, non mi ha sorpreso.

(no, non è vero, quando l'ho visto per la prima volta uscire dall pancia sono scoppiato apiangere come la vincitrice di un concorso di bellezza)

È piccolo e buffissimo, non ci lascia dormire e lo amo tantissimo.
