The oldest one, who is driving, stops the SUV and tells the other passenger to throw the basket full of peaches, received by an old woman, on the grass, "Do not you realize how bad they smell?"

Marilyn at last: August, 5 1962

5 weeks ago I started writing a series of articles about Marilyn, planning to write the last article on the 50th anniversary of her death. Which is today. Therefore, today is the last entry on this subject. More than an article, it is meant to be as a thought, an humble and unpretentious homage.

In fact, this is a day to remember and to celebrate. Even the more common television channels know that and you are bound to find a few Monroe's movie on tonight.

A woman, an actress, a diva, an icon. Marilyn was all these things and much more.

One thing everyone seems to agree on is that she wanted to be a good actress. On this day, it seems right to celebrate her by watching her doing what she strived to do best: act. I know I will.

Fight Club


Imagine the cold vacuum of the barrel of a Colt 22 caliber pressing to the back of your throat, the piercing pain of your knees smashing on the wet pavement, the rattle produced by the gun barrel against your teeth because of the earthquake shaking whom holds the gun. Try to imagine what it is likely to think of at times like this; of what comes to mind; what the asphalt can do to your pants; if the gun itself is clean; how many times a tooth can be beaten before it breaks.
