Today I lost my Hero.

Steve Jobs. 1955-2011. Goodbye HERO

Steve Jobs, the man whose life has inspired mine since I started to know him and his amazing vision, has died due to pancreatic cancer (cop off the “PC killed Steve jokes… there’s no fun in this at all, thank you) and I feel so null and void inside.
Till I realize what Steve has inspired me and millions of others with through his powerful, restless imagination, and work and accomplishments, well that won’t ever die, nor fade.
Ever.
That’s the legacy of a man whose importance stands there with geniuses of history of humanity.
Einstein is Steve’s peer.
Gandhi is Steve’s peer.
Newton is Steve’s peer.
Leonardo is Steve’s peer.
This is the range of Steve Jobs.
There are tons of words I could say, and tons of images and pieces of writing I could address you to…
But always I think of these two whenever I think of Steve and who he was, and IS STILL, because in them you can feel the power of dreaming he had and knew he could share to push many other into breaking barriers, never feel lazy to try and try and try until they could make that dream a REALITY.
And beyond.
Because if there’s a thing that Steve has taught me and many others to do, that’s the fact you don’t ever have to let things drag you down, slow you down, blur you off.

Life is precious… too precious to waste it in mourning and regrets.

He said that death is the greatest inventions because it gives rooms for NEW.

Steve wouldn’t like us to waste not even a second crying for him, if that second could be devoted by us to make our dreams become true.

So in this day which is forever sad for me, I leave you with Steve’s Stanford University Addressing, and with the amazing Think Different commercial he made with Ridley Scott.
I do it because in his charisma and words and LIFE you can reckon how far a man’s imagination can reach and make, so that you all along me can keep honoring Steve and his touch on humanity by spreading THAT vision which is a pure message of HOPE and trust in the best qualities of human beings (and God knows how much we need such a positive perspective on things in such dire and dark days).

Steve Jobs. 1955-2011.

WORLD’s HERO.
MY HERO.
Goodbye and Thank You.

The amazing Ridley Scott’s commercial, and the impeccable and fast forward Apple style:

Missus Z.

Good late afternoon (incoming evening? Well sun shines and day was refreshed after a dawn of raining drops… Weatherly, day couldn’t be better!!!).

Karim's portrait of "Soho Lovers", Adam and Anne

My last working week before a well deserved month-ly holiday keeps rolling.

Intensively.

I’m pretty fused, in such a way yesterday I blew at the squash game we decided to have at the Aperitif Time.

I hate to lose even at the smallest games, imagine how do I feel when I properly suck at something I’m supposed to be very good at.

Luckely, Karim consoles me for everything (even if my sucky performance made him lose along, cos we were doing double challenge…).

We had a fabulous time during Garda Lake weekend… and I can honestly say the month that we’re gonna spend like glued on my boat (well, boat is huge so we will have space to be unglued, but you get me) could easily give room to… MAJOR development in my/our life.

But okay, let’s start to put in this post all that I have been collecting these days.

And believe me, this post is gonna be HUGE.

We have even a full Huffington Post  Interview that I found ADORABLE (Thanx, Mike Ragogna!):

Adam Levine Huffington Post Interview - July 23, 2010 - by Mike Ragogna

In just a bunch of hours, (and I mean literally… it’s in less than 6 hours, at 9 pm ET time) will take the stage at the Fuse broadcasted event you know from a life, and sweet Adam is completely adamant the thing doesn’t leave him cold (awwww!!).

Adam Levine and girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna in Soho 26 July 2010 -01

Btw, Hart Hanson (Bones‘s creator, and former first boss of Adam… ;)) advice for fighting stage fright isn’t bad, hope Adam follows it 😉 in some hours!

Adam Levine and girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna in Soho 26 July 2010 -02

Click on this shot of the real Fuse Page and jump to the broadcasted images (it’s my 3 am… don’t really think I can. Only Lakers wake me up in the middle of the night, and anyway my working tasks this week request me not Fused on Fuse… *sigh*):

Fuse Present Maroon 5 live from Beacon Theathre - New York, July 27, 2010

To cheer the boys up, (boys that are   RIGHT now doing soundcheck, as PJ Morton graciously let us see), and to cheer especially sweet Adam up, seems that a represent of the kids he and Jesse schooled at Grammy’s Camp last week (check the chronichle here) are gonna be part of the audience.

Awww: of course Adam sounded delighted about it!!!

Of course by now all the guys (included the awesome PJ Morton!!!)  are in New York (of course, they are doing a soundcheck!); and all had to say bye bye to their homes on the West Coast and to sunny Los Angeles (and *somebody* REALLY feels it…), and in Jesse’s case, after having bonded over Harley Davidson’s love (Go Jess!!) because the tour starts and they won’t be back for MONTHS.

Adam Levine and girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna in Soho 26 July 2010 -03

But Adam actually went a day and a half PRIOR to the rest of the band.

And the clear reason stays in the pics of yesterday afternoon, when he and Anne strolled lovely through Soho.

Awww (even though… steak for lunch and then coconut giant frozen yoghurt/drink? Adam doesn’t have a stomach. He has a burning oven… he probably can mix metal cans and sprouts…) .

She took the train from the most famous lighthouse of America (Montauk one) while he was flying to reach over New York.

And they remeet.

Call me lightweight (I am, I am) but I was melting when she wrote that the Full Moon over New York was Sensational (by then, Adam must have been aside).

Oh, how cute they are… 🙂

Such a perfect couple.

I can’t stop thinkin how gorgeous their babies could be… Imagine: all freckled (because he is a bit freckled too…), slim, with those cat’s eyes and the smile they both have which is so shimmering and luminous.

Yep.

If they’d ever procreate, they would create such a wonderful new genetic 😉

While you and me and all together drool over their cuteness, we can take this link  (into the image) so that we can obtain Maroon5 Radio Widget (unfortunately this won’t be shown on this WordPress banner, because it’s Shockwave Flash…):

Click and go to Maroon5 IHeart Radio

Another thing which has strangely caused fuss (I say strangely, because it was known since a while, see how also in this blog we got mention of that from Billboard even…) was the fact as you know Maroon 5 have joined the Arizona Sound Strike boycotting.

Maroon 5 go Good about anti - immigrants Arizona Law

This is what Adam declared on Popeater (click on the page and you get to the site as well) which was reprised from various other sites, too:

Popeater: Maroon 5 joins Arizona protestors

The most absurd thing is actually to believe Maroon 5 are NOT a political band.

Adam Levine and girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna stroll in Soho, 26 July 2010

Are you kidding me?

Sure, their music isn’t Rage Against The Machine one, because they do pop rock and political themes are not part of their lyrics at all… but as people, they have always been VERY outspoken politically (till parossism sometimes… but I still LOVE that purity about them).

Adam Levine and Anne Vyalitsyna - Soho 26July2010 - 04

They are good hearted kids and some of the comments regarding this decision they have made make those writing them complete fools.

Adam Levine and Anne Vyalitsyna - Soho 26July2010 - 6

They do know nothing about any of Jesse, James, Adam, Mickey and Matt’s belief and they have no idea who they are if they think they are NOT political.

Just try and mention to Adam Fox News or Glenn Beck… 😉

I totally back up and support their choice.

It’s not about allowing ILLEGAL immigration: it’s about the segregatory and racist concept that to be delatory against someone CONSIDERED to be MORE potentially bound to criminal life JUST because he’s an immigrant is not right.

It’s the concept at the basis which promotes racism as a “solution” to malfunctionality of society.

I am particularly keen at the subject because it’s the same Nehanderthalian approach Lega Nord has in Italy.

It’s not defending anybody’s prerogatives: it’s bending to hatred and violence and not using brain.

Regression into cave’s era is never okay to me.

That’s it.

I speak my mind as well and I don’t care if some don’t like it. I can back it all up with LOGIC. 😉

Adam Levine and Anne Vyalitsyna - Soho 26July2010 - 7

Okay… I would say now I can leave you with a couple of shining candies:  one is out of a  Radio Interview (always thanx, huge thanx to Jennifer Coles for those) :

And then the stream of the video of Apple Campus in Cupertino (yeah!!!!) always graciously landed by Jennifer:

Okay…

Adam Levine and girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna in Soho, 26 July 2010

I think by now it’s all (whoahoooo… and it’s a LOT, isn’t it?)

In the next few days we will hopefully have the stream of the Fuse event AND the chronichle of the Billboard Live Q&A that happens tomorrow (again at an impossible time for me… GRRR).

What else?

Oh, you will wonder why at this time I am WRITING here (it’s 21.40 in Italy) and not cuddling or sexing it up with Karim.

Karim is taken with sculpting and has forbidden me to come nearby of more than ten steps away till 23.00.

*sigh*…

Now you get while I am writing this post now, right?

😉

Enjoy your time, folks.

I’ll enjoy mine in… aprox… 1 hour and 18 minutes 😉

Bye!!!

great classic from Adam's past 😉 Ehi! He started to recall "memory lane"... 😉

Is it me, or this massive July heat that spreads over Lombardia and makes even Milan people long for a CityBeach among concrete buildings makes you dream about sea&suntan&holidays like… 24/7?

Today at work is being insane… my lunch break was all about eating an icecream, and starting uploading this (I write pieces of posts in different moments and then I put them together when there are not specific news to report, so imagining tomorrow as well will be like today, namely HECTIC and FILLED, I better put online this before everything gets old ;))

I’m really into incoming holidays.

Yup.

It takes just three weeks… less than those…

And then all I want to know about will be how to rock my boat in our Summer Cruise (as I promised, I will take on my holidays Noah so I will keep *some* quick blog updates. Just because I can be *SO* kind… ;))

But yeah… I’m getting lazy and I cannot wait for being free from work for 4 weeks.

Is THAT phase of the year when all my working tasks start to take a toll.

Actually I would have liked to attend one more last week, because that would have felt not much as work, but more like a wonderful experience.

Dad was in Turin for ESOF and he got to attend of course Nobel Ada Yonath‘s lecture.

Now that’s a woman who is inspirational to me, as a chemist, as a person, as a scientist… as a female… as EVERYTHING.

I imagine many of you cannot be chemists and they have no idea who Ada is, but take a rapid look at THIS, at least. The future of our next better lives are in her studies:

To balance this “Quark” moment I step back of a bunch of hours, congratulating of course Spain for their awesome acheivement in the World Cup Final.

Paulpo Paul was right:

Beside that, know that Paulpo Paul is retiring (excerpt from the hilarious DLISTED site, which I adore…)

I actually saw excerpts of the final only, because when it was played we were at LaScala watching the awesome Béjart version of The Kabuki.

It has been so emotional and beautiful…

During the whole ballet, Karim and I would caress one another feeling the Japanese magic all over again.

We kept writing on one another’s hand skin “I love you” and “Let’s go back to Japan soon” 🙂

I adore that we adore traveling to the same places JUST the same 😉

Derek Fisher is DA MAN. Hat off to his greatness and loyalty 🙂

Talkin about traveling.

One person who should NOT travel is Derek Fisher.

Derek… do not even think about leaving Los Angeles… and Lakers, please stop tease and sign him straight back.

Derek is Laker for life.

Don’t kid.

DON’T.

UPDATE: Of course Derek Fisher STAYS with The Lakers. just because there could be no other place like LakersDome for him. And of course the reason and the man he couldn’t leave for is the one and only, the amazing God of Basketball, Kobe Bean Bryant :)

Talkin about my adored Kobe, yesterday I was going to bed, happy to know Derek was staying with us… and just before turning tv off, Sky showed this, that a lovely soul put over YouTube straight for my delight.

Okay, the non italians won’t get it, but I get amazed at Kobe’s GREAT italian accent and always captivated by his beautiful voice.

My one and only hero, upset because Italy SUCKED in the cup 😉 (Kobe, angel of my life… it was all logically expectable… none of those puppets are like YOU…):

Of course, Kobe is a MilanAC supporter. I mean. OF COURSE. I am… he is ;). Just logic: great minds think alike 😉 (I also thought Germany could have won, Kobe, but in the end, Spain deserved. Pau is gonna be happy and pumped ;))

Read happily about the due ending of Derek’s saga in the Lakers Blog (ah, if it weren’t this lazy these summer days I would love to write about this in there… but nope… my writing forces are zero when heat breaks the 35 C limit ;))

Right that we are on travels&people, Russian Fairy moved from native Russia allegedly back to Western territories.

Guess she was quite sad to leave her homeland (I think it’s natural… to never hear anybody speak your own language, to never get to read your alphabet for months, to stay apart from your own people for so long since so many years is definitely NOT easy. Especially when all this is being done since you were a teenager... but at least she has a great life out of that sacrifice, and that balances the minuses, right? I hope so, at least. Otherwise it would be really bad…).

Then it seems Milan isn’t the only place in Europe where heat is really hard to beat 😉 (Mash, who was in catwalks in Paris and Berlin too, told us it’s kinda cooking out. But being dark skinned, for him is better ;))

Hopefully Adam will get a better mood out from the fact she gets nearer to him again, because in the past hours he was quite… fluctuating from enthusiasm for surroundings… to Holy Wars resembling DonQuixote (Adam, honey… you can’t teach taste by snapping fingers babystop taking care of unimportant words around you? better ;)), to some drive down to memory lane which sounded both kinky and someway… odd?

Anyway, Adam and kinkyness go hand in hand always… I finally found what Marghe reported to me out from the VEVO show, the part about Jeremy Sisto…:

From New York Post... 😉

I know… I know… we love him exactly because it’s THIS unfiltered (at least, I do for that especially) 😉

The VEVO gig anyway will be broadcasted for everyone later on, so just stay tuned, okay?

Then we do love him because after some venting out, he can just take up the “virtual pen” of Twitter and say this (first reading of my morning… and it was really really sweet ;)):

Just taking another moment to thank our fans yet again for giving us this life. 🙂”  >>> All together… *AWWW* 😉

Today then Adam will wake up pretty soon cos he has to attend Mark & Mercedes show in the wee hours of the morning ( a tragedy for him ;)). Wow… maybe this time they will make him talk with Malia Obama? ;).

UPDATE >>> UPDATE >>> UPDATE :

The interview, literally one hour after broadcasted, is already HERE thanx to the incredible work of DA Queen Jennifer Coles. enjoy 😉 :

Let’s momentarily get back to the previous post though (where I already detailed the fact Bob Carmichael’s footage for Story video had won awards, ndr) to show you a couple of fan videos from the attendance of Maroon5 at Steve Job’s Tech Dream Land in Cupertino:

and this one:

Cute, innit?

Even cuter is this about the special 27th of July event that will be Fuse Broadcasted, that you know already of because I shared the news a few days ago (people also won tickets, so… ;)):

Maroon 5 at Beacon Theatre on July 27

I think  for today it can be enough… and anyway gotta get back working.

More incoming nex days on 😉

Have happy Tuesday folks 😉

Good morning Universe!

Okay, it’s almost midday and really, I’m updating this only for I wanna provide a service… because after yesterday pool’s party I’m totally dizzy and I think I won’t leave this room until 4 pm (we still at our friends’ place, and believe me it will need lots of cleaning when we will finally exit… What a Awesome Pool Party!!!).

Essentially I update this in the morning (and if you wonder through what, I brought Noah along at the party… ;)) for this video:

which you all have as per usual to thank Jennifer Coles for.

Just because I’m here, let’s share some further candy.

For instance we knew through Bob Carmichael that Maroon 5 Story Video got awarded:

and that’s a cool thing, innit?

Right 😉

Babies by the way shared a couple of useful bits on touring matters and also gave a shout out about cool things to catch this weekend.

Now if you wonder what Russian Fairy is up to in her native Russia, she is trying to get a tan along her lovely relatives.

Awww. 🙂 Aren’t they adorabs? That little cutie aside her might as well become a model if genetics is fair 🙂

And about Divine A., hold yourself tight on some seat because… Adam has entered the geek territory.

The Geek Mecca: Cupertino Apple Campus

The Supreme Geek Territory.

I said “Geek” not “Nerd” so you all should be surprised because… well… you all know Adam isn’t exactly the most accustomed tech educated fella.

He loves tech stuff, but isn’t exactly a Geek… 😉 (like me for instance).

But… allegedly he had a blast of time this past day being hours and hours in the Mecca… In Cupertino….

My sweet babies 😉

Apple!!! Apple!!! Steve J…!!!

*Swoons*

You know, I’m a Apple devotee.

And I am incredibly happy in imagining Adam getting fascinated THERE about all Apple stuff.

I think it’s a wonderful thing.

Ah! 😉

LeBronZe looking retarded... LMAO 😉

Now about the uncool things, I’m still cracking and laughing about LeLoser’s switch to the Miami Heat, which from now on in my book are gonna be the Miami MEAT ;).

LeBron James‘s ego is really delusional.

They speak of him, Wade and Bosh like the best trio ever?

LMAO… yeah… *sure*…

Kobe is ready to trash all of you three again and straight: I’m glad you guys just gave him a good impulse to develop again his killer instinct.

You’re gonna be eaten by a Black Mamba, “Meat” 😉

Okay… I think for this post is all.

But stay tuned in some hours, as long as I get access to the link, I will shout out also from this page about a special site you all should check.

It’s gonna be healthy and full of information 😉

Later peeps… enjoy your weekend! 😉
