Forget about it!


The real "Donnie Brasco" - Joseph Pistone, the guy in the left

Joseph Pistone from his real life undercover


IS IT WORTH IT?

The Mafia also known as the Cosa Nostra is as many of you know a Sicilian secret society and is the fancy name for organized crime in general. As I was snuggling up next to my boyfriend munching away on chocolate and candy bars preparing for a night of action I starting thinking of movies as Scarface,The Godfather trilogy, Goodfellas, Carlitos way and so on. I love Al Pacino and Johnny Depp and they made a movie, Donnie Brasco which is one of the best mafia movies ever made in my opinion, not only because they are such great actors, but because the movie is based on true events which makes it so much more fascinating.

I think it is absolutely fucked up, and I must say, you gotta have some balls to be an undercover FBI agent to infiltrate one of the largest mafia families  and stay under cover for six years in order to bring down about 200 people of the most dangerous families in New York.

This happened in the late seventy's so it's a long time ago, but these things shook up the Big Apple and keep happening all over the world at this moment.

To go undercover to become the opposite of what you know and was trained for must be one of the hardest things a human being can go through. To live under pressure and constant death treat and not knowing if you are going home alive or in a body bag and constantly being surrounded by the enemy like that,well lady's and gentlemen it takes big "cojones" that's all I got to say about that.

The real Donnie Brasco is named Joseph Pistone, and is a real hero, the "acting" he did for six years undercover is the kind of acting that never gives you an Oscar but saves lives.
Donnie Brasco is just one of these movies you never forget when you see them.
The most popular line has to be "Forget about it" but it's pronounced with a heavy Vice guy New York accent. And they probably say that line like a hundred times in the movie and it is hilarious every  time they do so. They are the anti heroes the vice guys as appalling  and fascinating, they are the true anarchist of our time, they don't have the rules that we obey, they make up there own rules. They have their own pride and moral and everything you do is for the family and if you don't obey, well we all know what will happen to those who don't....cement shoes in the Hudson river anyone!?

From the far east you got the Yakoza and they are one of the largest organized crime organisations in the world to the Triads in China to the Cosa Nostra, they are considered small compared to these two crime organisations. They all have one thing in common, they will do anything for power and money no matter what the price might be.
Soldiers of the dark side of or modern civilisation but you can't help as a by stander to become intrigued by all these violent actions and by the fact that people are willing to go to these extents to feel apart of something no matter if it's good or bad.

The organized crime syndicates are like multimillion dollar companies except their activity include lovely things like, drug trafficking, contract murders, money laundering, prostitution, gambling and other forms of racketeering. Another major income source these days are counterfeiting of clothing, computer and software etc. So next time you buy a fake bag you might reconsider, it might be a cheap price for you but it cost more money then you think.
Does child labour ring a bell? Well all I can say guys is that unfortunately real life and movies don't always go well together, real people get hurt and real people dies and this is something we all should try to change if we can and think twice before you by things that are fakes and copy's and ask yourself, is it worth it?

One more thing I just love this conversation in the movie:

FBI tecnichian (Nelson) - What's "forget about it?"
Donnie Brasco - "Forget about it" it's like if you agree with someone, you know like "Raquel Welsh is one great piece of ass" forget about it." But then if like you disagree like, " A Lincoln is better then a Cadilac, "forget about it!" you know? But then, it's also like if something the greatest ting in the world like Mingrios pepper's "forget about it."
But it's also like saying like "go to hell! too. Like, you know, like " Hey Paulie you got a one inch pecker?, and Paulie says forget about it. Sometimes it just means forget about it.

Keep informed and stay on the tracks.

Remember knowledge is power and it's what you choose to do with that information that makes a difference.

Why soo serious?!


Inner peace

Touched by God

Nirvana, it does exist

The devil, very much alive

Life is like a game of poker, sometimes you have a great hand and sometimes you just try to make the best out of it, hoping nobody is going to figure out that you got the worst cards ever.
Life has it ups and it's downs and I guess we need to go trough the tough parts to be able to appreciate the sweeter things in life, but it still sucks when it happens though...
I have done both good things and bad things in my life, but I do like to think that I have done more good. Every day is a struggle trying to make the right decision, trying to be less selfish and making the right decision both morally and righteous but it's darn hard...

Well it's just interesting how much crap you have to put up with in life and I am amazed when I think about my journey trough out life. Friends are a rare commodity and so is true love.
I have realized that nothing is free in life, you have to struggle and fight for everything from love to friendship, family, career and happiness.

But it's the struggle itself that makes it worth it, my life would be very boring and meaningless without it, though I have to admit that sometimes I wish," just like you reading this" it would be nice if it would be a little bit easier...if you catch my drift.

So what doesn't brake you, makes you, if you can still stand up and fight for what ever you be live in then that makes you a winner in every way.

I like to take walks it helps me clear my head and when I am pissed of about something or someone I go for a run, every step I take, well somehow it just makes me feel better.
It's like therapy and exercise combined in one...I probably sound nuts for saying this!?

Even at the darkest moments of my life what makes me pull my shit together are two things, I remind myself that it's not over until the fat lady sings and I take strength in God.
I believe there is a reason for everything even when bad things happen.

I am not a bad person I am just a good person that do bad things sometimes and so are we all.

I believe in good and bad as much as I believe in life and death. and it is sad to see people spending so much time being jealous and hateful towards other people, the biggest looser in such a scenario is the person spending their precious moments on negative things that will only end up hurting themselves in the long run.

Karma is interesting  I believe that what you do as an individual, that the good and the bad that comes from ones actions  will have a huge effect on your life, God knows that I have been exposed to both. I felt compelled to write what I feel right now and I feel calm though I am standing in the eye of the storm, I believe in good and I believe in myself and I believe in the people I love and cherish most. 

I may be on the pursuit of happiness and when I say that, I don't mean that I'm not happy, just that I want to be able to feel happiness more often even when darkness surrounds me.
And I believe I'm on the right track to achieve that, it might take longer then I expected but it will happen.

I have always been my own toughest critic, never pleased with what I achieve and being a compulsive over achiever I realize that the only one I hurt is myself, I have to start loving myself and that is the hardest task I have ever been given. Will I succeed I hope so.
I use to be angry at the world, all this injustice and evil, sometimes I still am but I see things more positive then before and I try to take that anger and turn it to something positive this probably sounds like a cliche but I don't care, it's the truth.

Humor helps me through life, I laugh even when it's bad and then I cry. With out being able to see the funny sides of life I would have probably given up along time ago.

Life is not suppose to be easy it's like test from the All mighty and if you try your hardest and make the best out of it and learn from your mistakes then I am pretty sure you will succeed.
It is not religion that is bad it is the people that uses religion as a tool to receive power over others that are bad.

That's enough from the "Love Guru" Olinda today...

Peace out

Stay strong and laugh your ass of it helps!!

Hot Tamale...Dios Mios!?!




I know I should not complain, it's summer after all, but this heat is a killer!!!!
I love south of Spain it's close to Morocco and basically I can see North Africa's coast, but it's just so damn hot....It 's perfect when your on the beach with a frozen Margarita but when your working it's not as fun as you can imagine.

Anyway, I can't wait to see the new batman movie that is coming to Spain next week.
"The Dark Knight" with Christian Bale, the hottest actor in Hollywood right now.
This guy is amazing I mean his career has been skyrocketing lately. He did a superb performance in The Machinist and American Psycho, I love Bret Easton Ellis by the way, what a great novel.

The film critics where a bit harsh on the movie "American Psycho" though , it's bloody hard to put something so dark and twisted on the big screen without totally gross people out, I think he portrayed  Patrick Bateman well and he gave me the chills and I don't scare easy.
Heath Ledger as the joker, perfect choice, it's a shame he not with us any more, such a talented actor. 

Mr Bale has a busy schedule, he is shooting Terminator right now and promoting The Dark night. And for the director Christopher Nolan the guy behind movies such as "Memento" with Guy Pearce which is a great movie that I would recommend if you have not seen it is a great director who we will probably see even more of in the future.

Terminator is going to be kick ass!! I think it will be out next summer or something...have to check it out.

I am going to the beach tomorrow so hopefully I get to play beach tennis and work on my surfing skills with my gorgeous boyfriend.

Til then folks



Have a hot and seductive evening and don't do anything I would not do...

The revival of the supermodel.


Fashion is about history repeating itself with some small new alterations.
The supermodel area is dead unfortunately, these days it's Jessica Simpson and Keira Knightley and God knows who on the cover of the top magazines most of the time anyway.

During the nineties we had Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford etc.
Model where what young girls aspired to look like and I'm talking before it all turned non fab and Kate Moss brought us the Heroine chic look, which in my opinion never was that attractive. All of a sudden young teen girls where going for that malnourished and 
homeless look, yeah, that is really sexy, not!

Then the area of celebrity started and it was all movie stars and popstars, great only one thing they ain't models. To see Jennifer Lopez, who is beautiful by the way, trying to squeeze here voluptuous booty in to a size French 38, "well we all know it wasn't no 38" just ain't going to work.

Being beautiful and being a model does not necessary go together, since you need to look good in all angles and be pretty slim since the camera adds a few pounds an most of all you need to be photogenic and like a cameleon.

All of a sudden all I see it's celebs like Beyonce trying to look fa
shionable and it makes me pissed of cause it's putting models out of business. Fashion is more sincere when you don't know the name of the model wearing it since, you have a tendency to focus on the clothes more then the person. I don't want to sound to pessimistic but I miss when models where models, to day if you go to a casting you can't tell the bloody difference, since someone just that walked in from the street to ask for direction could be a model.

I am tired of seeing scrawny ass so called models who look as interesting as, well you just wanna flip the page. I think women should look like women and not like bony teenage boys with long hair. Bring back the supermodels and real good editorials with o
ut the celebs please.
I need my weekly dose of fashion but make it exiting again please.

One of my all time favorites is Linda Evangelista and I taught I'll give you a taste, a little a bit of Italian Vogue old school baby. Now this is a fashionistas dream come thru.
Compare it to the latest" it" model down below and see the difference folks.

Malnourished versus all woman and looking fab.
Now put that in your pipe and smoke it bitches cause that is to quote Tyra Banks "Fierce".
And one more thing, please feed the models!!!!




Linda Evangelista


Scrawny ass

The world got a crush on Obama!


So,they all have a crush on Obama, well, It's not hard to see why!
Barack Obama is phenomenon, whenever he speaks the crowds go crazy and news anchers are memorized and exstatic.

Obama has declared himself a nominee for the democratic party and he is the first Afro American to have a shot at becoming the next president of United States of America, which is a huge accomplishment and he is definately making history. McCain don't seem worried though which makes me wonder, either he knows something the general public don't or he is in denial.

Obama is like this force that makes you wanna stop and listen in front of the TV and McCain, well he makes you wanna fall asleep every time he starts one of his speeches.
As a European it's interesting to follow the American election since it obviously will have a huge effect on world economy and the financial market. As they say, the power of the mighty dollar makes the world go around, lately it's been all about the Euro though.

People want change and no matter how many teary eyed speeches we heard from Hillary Clinton nobody makes the slogan "change we can believe in"  a more powerful, sincere and less of a cliche then Barack Obama. The American election is so interesting to watch since everything so full of energy and passion. I have never experienced this kind of "I'm going to a rock concert" feeling in any other election then the American one.

Take for example England if you listen to one of Gordon Browns speeches in Parliament and compare it to Obamas's you feel like your watching  paint dry.
We need more youth in politics and people who speak to the people not the government parliament, I believe people in general feel politicians all over the world are corrupted and deceiving the public and not reaching out to regular folks. I hope we will see a European version of Obama soon since we are in desperate need of a massive change all over the world. 
We need to change our world for the better and minimize poverty and violence and stop world hunger and injustice, we have to believe we can do that so we can make this world a better place for all people of all races. There is tensions between races in the US as much as in Europe and it would definitely help if people would stop looking at color and start looking at reality.

We are all different and that is beautiful so lets make the best out of it and embrace our differences and learn from them.
