I have a stupid lil something called a counter at the bottom of my blog and it touched 1000 today. So as the title says in italian... a thousand thanks... to all who have come and shared this journey with me.

I am reading this book called 'eat pray love' by Elizabeth Gilbert. This is the book that inspired that small paragraph in a post a couple of posts ago. The story is about a woman who goes through a messy divorce, relationship shit etc etc to embark on a journey for a year. She decides she will go to Italy for four months and learn Italian. Then she will go to India and spend 4 months in an Ashram of her spiritual guru. The last 4 months of her journey will be spent in Bali, with a 9th generation medicine man... who'd once read her palm and told her she will come back to Bali. This explains the sequence of the words in the title of book as well...

So I am in Italy rt now now... and learning Italian with her. Till now my fav word as well as hers is Attraverisiamo... meaning Lets cross over. Its very symbolic for where I am rt now... this year, so few months old tho, has already brought in changes I never thought I'll see.

Other favourites are:
Perfetto: Perfect
Caro mio: My dear
Vaffunculo: Go fuck yourself!!! I have been saying this under my breath so many times in the day... its just the most delicious way of saying go fuck yourself!
Figolo Di Mignotta: Sun of a bitch
Stronzo: Shithead
Cafone: Asshole!

Some other interesting phareses are che bordello and che casino... which essentially means 'what a friggin' mess!!'. Hmmm... that rings a bell too now doesn't it? :)

I think its pretty okay that to celebrate my blog hitting the mille mark, I have tought you some cuss words in italian... A man once told me that was the best way to start learning a language. Shall keep you updated if I find any more jewels in the pages ahead, caro mios.
