My Erasmus's song.
THE JOKER
Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people walking around call me Maurice
Cause I speak of the pompitous of love
People talk about me, baby (People talk about me, baby)
They say I'm doin' you wrong, (doin' you wrong)
Well, don't let that worry you worry baby (oh baby ....)
Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home
(Everybody Singing Along)
Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love

People talk about me, baby (People talk about me, baby)
They say I'm doin' you wrong, (doin' you wrong)
Well, don't let that worry you worry baby (oh baby ....)
Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home
(Everybody Singing Along)
Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight talker
I get my lovin' on the run
You're the cutest thing
That I ever did see
I really love your peaches
I Wanna shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooo-yeah baby, I'm gonna show you a good time
Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight talker
I get my lovin' on the run
I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight talker
I sure don't want to hurt no one
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight talker
I get my lovin' on the run
You're the cutest thing
That I ever did see
I really love your peaches
I Wanna shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooo-yeah baby, I'm gonna show you a good time
Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight talker
I get my lovin' on the run
I'm a picker
I'm a grinner

I'm a joker
I'm a smoker

I sure don't want to hurt no one

The thin and attractive line between "nothing happened" and "anything is possible"
.jpg)
The number of times you've actually been is not important, what I'm talking about is our experiences , our life, and the feelings connected with those experiences.
Anyway..I guess the number is pretty high, isn't it? Yeah. I don't even try to guess. I do know. For me, for you, for anyone having a normal and healthy social life.
Have you got? I think so. So I say ok, my post is gonna be interesting for you but maybe you already know everything. However, I 'm definitely interested in knowing what you think about that. So go on please and give me your feedback. I'm like Uncle Sam. I want you.
I'm sure you all have a great experience in staying into social environments, maybe more than me. And it's normal, it's natural. "It's my life" as sang John Bon Jovi.
Now.what's the news?
Have you ever thought about WHY you go to a public gathering? or you like staying with people and you like learning languages you like doing "social" activities...there are thousands of examples but it's enough. You understand me.
So what? Have you ever wondered why? Well ..I personally did. I'm still doing many times.
Mr Maslow, one of the greatest expert of human interaction created his famous and famous and famous Pyramid, in the attempt of describing the human needs. Take a look if you wanna know more.
I personally agree with Maslow. I think he was a genius.
And I especially agree with him when he says that our human needs are basically growing from the base of the pyramid to the top and that's the order we follow in satisfying them. I mean, let's focus on the safety/security and social needs: how many times have you entered a club and felt like "I'd like to talk to anyone and be in the core of the social life around here but I don't really know how to and I'm also a bit frightened by all these unknown people, what can I do?" .
It's just beacuse we want to satisfy are need for social interaction but we implicitly dont' wanna loose the control of our need for security. Jim Morrison said "People are strange when you're a stranger, faces are ugly when you 're alone". He was so right.
You see the point? When we go and talk to unknown people we always feel a sense of insecurity,because we are never sure about the reaction of the people around us we don't know yet. They, on the other hand, are not bad or really "strange", they only want to be as sure and safe as us while we start to talk to them, they want to feel we're not a threatening presence. Make sense?
I mean, it's all natural. It's a healthy mechanism (don't worry...;) ) , it's a fear structured in our mind which is useful because it gives us the awareness that we must protect ourselves even though in most of the cases it's just a curtain which blocks the sun rays coming in from the window during a sunny day..
I LOVE the very moment when you feel the equilibrium between these two needs: I love seeking the thrill between my sense of comfort when I am alone and the happiness of having won this little fear.
I personally call it - The thin and attractive line between "nothing happened" and "anything is possible" -
Try to imagine you in front of a beautiful girl you've just met. You talk to her, you find her very attractive, you can feel the energy, 'cause you ve got so much life running through your veins.. (thank you Robbie)
You get the point you realise she 's attracted to you. You see the pleasure you could have with her but you are not sure at all to make the very first step and to get out from your comfort zone..your little and golden garden where nothing can hurt you. Don't you feel the thrill?...
That's the line I'm talking about. The line between nothing happened and anything is possible.
Because when you cross the line you can see the world up side down, you feel totally amazed, you feel that the moment is taking your breath away, you really feel that anything in this world is possible. That concept is very wide and can be appliable to a lot of contexts. Think it over.
I personally love those instants..I personally love those lines..I personally love those thrills..
Why?
Because this stuff make me feel like I'm truly, madly, deeply LIVING my life. This stuff is my own personal drug, and I am my own personal pusher bros.
But pay attention. Getting hold of that drug is hard. It's always hard and I'm not pretty sure I can have my dose WHENEVER I want to. I'm trying but I'm not sure at all.
There's a beautiful metaphor I use to tell my friends and some of you will already know it : when you feel you are living a moment next to that "line",and you feel a bit anxious beacuse you are frightened by something could happen, try to think of you next to a swimming pool.
I mean, you are ready, you ve got your swimsuit and you want to have fun. But you personally don't like COLD WATER right? hehe...I think you got it. Can you just jump in and forget it' s cold? Can you really do that?
You know perfectly that it's nothing to worry about and it's not the end of the world but almost never you just give the fuck and jump in. That's right. I understand.
But how much funnier would be just doing that without feeling scared or uncomfortable? Because when you jump in and you come out..you are already wet! you are acclimatized! So after that point, after the "line" you can only care about having fun jumping in again and again enjoying the water. True?
I mean, I love the frightening thrill ONLY because that is what gives me the sensations of real, deep intensity when I overcome it. It's amazing. I hope you're feeling it like me.
So guys. I don't wanna teach anything to anyone. I think I'm not good enough yet to do that. I'm just trying to change my way of thinking and acting a little bit. Little by little. Anyway, we are here. We are living our Erasmus period, for sure the best time of our lives. So let's be open, let's jump into that pool, let's cross that line. It's always so fucking adrenalinic. I know you already know. But somestimes it's good to be reminded, isn't it?
See ya guys. Stay tuned.
