Description
Place: My room. Time: 1.00 o'clock last night. When I saw all the heaps of the stuff I had NOT yet discarded on my bed, I SHOUTED!
While I put the items on the floor, in order to have a place where to sleep, to begin this morning again, I thought of a saying in the Neapolitan dialect. 'Fate ammuina!' Make the move! it's not translatable into Italian; it comes from the Spanish amuinhar, 'make the move'. According to the popular knowledge, it was used in the slang of the Navy of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies, before the birth of Italy. When the king or the admirals came to visit the ships, the sailors made the ammuina (move) that is, those on port went to starboard, those on the bow, to the stern, those on the deck to the lower decks, or on the masts, and viceversa. All with the illusion of doing a purposeful task. Now it's used to mean the confusion of moving everything to accomplish nothing, when they speak of reforming the public administration. It's the world of our paper pushers who are masters in making the move. BTW I'm still in the middle of the wade.
Thank you for your kind comments.

but that is exactly what happens in politics although on maybe another level. speaking alot without saying anything has become an art. i never sit around just for smalltalk. well lets put it this way, years before we could not afford to have small talk because we where always byusy. now we have time but we dont go out talking without saying anything. like hey love how are you thanks my dear and you oh fine and al that crap. maybe i became a little asocial if i may call it that. i love humanity but i hate humans.hehehe.
