Sometimes I hear voices, sometimes sounds, sometimes the noise of the outside, cars passing by and ambulances. The old population in Italy certainly makes me worried as my room has a balcony without any sufficient protection from the outside noises such as these ambulances passing by so many times and I am now accustomed to hear them.
Sometimes the guy upstairs starts shouting at this wife, I do not know at whom exactly but he is certainly sick in the head and I believe that if he is shouting at the dog which I hear bark sometimes, he should be the most cruel man on earth.
Sometimes in the morning a lady starts singing opera, at 10.00 AM when I had my second coffee. And although her voice is fascinating, it gives me a slight headache and I cannot distinguish if it is a lady’s voice or if it is a TV. I asked my housemates if they heard it and they are positive that there is not an opera singer in our apartment.
Sounds are amazing in Italy, when you go to Via Del Corso at 22.00 you see a young lady dancing tango with her umbrella. She wears black and white and her lips are red as her hair is blonde (should I have said yellow?) and short. She looks like she has just come out of a movie scene and that dance takes you somewhere else. You are not in Via Del Corso anymore, but you are in somewhere else, an atmosphere I cannot describe.
While the lady continues to sing above, I am thinking to myself: I wish I was a guy to write an autobiography with all the secrets inside, wohoww? Which secrets? What adventures? I figured out in the last days why men write more autobiographies, is not it because they have the luxury to talk about politics, relationships (affairs with women), football and adventures? I promised myself to write an autobiography of my “fulfilled” life:) Funny eh?
Well well well, the best thing is when you are walking on a street and you hear the jazz players, they play so nicely, so much to the tune, they play so well and I am ashamed not to throw a coin to the hat which lies upside down on the street. On the other hand, I would like them to play from morning till evening for me, if it could be possible. Or if I could have walked endlessly from one part of the street to the other and if they had continued playing during this time, this could be also fine with me. The sounds of Italy, a slight headache, a moment of perfect happiness, a moment of confusion, a worrisome heart about the old population, a worrisome heart about my sleeps.
I will touch upon the smells later on, as this is another story.
By the way, a man joined the lady singing, are there opera singers in our apartment? They are full of passion, wow, and I am trying to learn more about housing rights at this moment, if I can manage... Sounds are calling from outside though...
Please turn off the music, oh god it is so loud.
Now I will take a bus to Roma Termini and a violin player will come inside in one of the stops, start playing in a row all these well-known melodies and then he will say “Grazie ...” Nobody will give him any money though, I do not know how he survives. Is not it nice that someone is playing a violin for you when you are on the bus, looking at the historical buildings in Rome? But no, I do not like him playing, I think that he is playing in a hurry, from one stop to the other, just to earn some money, he forgot what art was about. Do the Italians think like me too?
Sometimes it is complete silence... on the bus, there are loud teenagers, they talk with high pitches which annoys me so much as they annoyed me back in Istanbul. Then comes the lady who is complaining in Italian about something. I pick up some words: She is saying that it is normal that one says sorry if s/he makes a mistake, this is that simple. I think she is complaining about her colleague or one of her relatives or her husband, that I cannot figure out. Maybe it is the wife of her son.
Well well well, this is the end for now. I wrote in a hurry just like the violin player on the bus. And this lady continues to sing still... well I will go out to the library then.
