Massage in Barcelona Spain

To contact me, email: info@drdot.com and put "Sal/Barcelona" in the subject line, please 🙂

Hi my name is Sal (short for Salvatore.) I am from Italy, many years ago someone gave me a book about Shiatsu, this is how I got involved in this ancient healing art.

I am a fully qualified Shiatsu Therapist, I studied Shiatsu in London with internationally reknowned teachers such as: Soul Goodman, Chris Jarmey, Ray Ridolfi, Wataru Ohashi. I strongly believe that “Energy is everything and Everything is Energy!“

Touching is healing and deep inside each one of us there is a little child that needs to be loved, cared for, nourished and touched, for this I consider touching a very serious and responsible task, through touching I can reach the very inner, spiritual, emotional side of people and where true healing can take place.

Shiatsu is a Japanese word meaning finger pressure. The theoretical foundations of Shiatsu are rooted in Chinese medicine. Shiatsu is a holistic therapy, based on the same principles as acupuncture, but using the hands instead of needles. However very few people know that Shiatsu is not only finger pressure, it feeds the Nervous system, as well as rebalancing the flow of Energy (Ki) – drawing more of it into the needy parts of the body, or dispersing stagnation so that Ki can flow freely.

Have a great day Sal !!!

Please vote for Frank Zappa

 

click  HERE to vote!

 

Don't get me wrong…but, a lot of people are over looking Frank
Zappa in lieu of Rick Derringer for the Vintage Guitar Magazine Hall of
Fame contest below.

Yet, overwhelmingly, the Gibson SG standard guitar is sweeping this con…test..which is the very same guitar Frank Zappa played!

I find it a bit strange for Rick Derringer to win over Frank for this
contest when FZ's guitar is sweeping like this…with all due respect
for Rick and his talent – as he too is an amazing player, artist, and friend…and Frank not being here to hype himself…perhaps we should all vote to help remember him?

Again with all due respect to Rick who I think is a great player…but to me Frank was not only a great player but also a legendary player and a musical genius and deservingly should win this induction into the VGM Hall of Fame contest along with his guitar the Gibson SG standard.

Anyway, here is the link if you
can help to spread the word?

 

thanks to my pal Lewy Stix for bringing this to my attention.

Chillin’ like Bob Dylan

Booked my flight to NYC today, heard it's still boiling hot there, hope it still is in two weeks! Didn't leave the house today at all, feelin' REALLY tired. Wondering if it's ovulation or just working too much/moving stress. Wouldn't mind leaving for NYC sooner, but I promised to work on Dream Theater so I have to stick around for them, looking forward to it actually, gotta see what all the hype is about. 

Finally told my new OVERLY friendly/nosy/talkative neighbor, per letter, that hanging over her balcony onto mine to look into my flat and yell to me to come talk is NOT ok. She caught me off guard once and I was stark naked at the computer (like I am now 🙂

 

So I put one of those cute room dividers up ^  so she CAN'T see into my flat and I asked her nicely in the letter to STOP banging on my wall to get my attention to come out and talk (she is 70 years old and said the last tenant, also an old lady, always came out to talk when she banged on her wall. Not working with me though, hello? I CRAVE privacy in my home. I put it ALL out on the net but everyone needs privacy in their home.

 Found some more old picture from the move as you can see below. Will scan more someday when I have time.

Me and my brother and sister. We all have the same mother, but my biological father was as Italian guy named Salvatore Gicacomini (shot his head off at age 27, never met him- found police report last night that I got from town hall in CT and it says "cause of death: gun shot wound to head"). But whatever, 27 seems to be a hard age- so many people die at that age. Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison- no?

 

 Me with hands on belly and my MILF Mom holding my sister Michele. Mom was extremely hot but MOMMIE DEAREST to me. She hurried her death with heroine and other drugs about 11 years ago. She was only 47 when she died. What a tragic life she had and she made mine a living hell while I was around her. Eminem and I have so much in common- lived in trailor parks, had pill popping abusive moms, both white and from extremely poor backgrounds but came out swinging, yo.

 

My Dad, who adopted me when I was 1 year old AND married my Mom (they were both age 17). So forget the Italian sperm donor, Dad is the one who was nice to me. I hated it when he left (Mom threw him out weekly) as I then was the only whipping post around. STILL love my Dad greatly, to this day.

 

Me on the snow horse my Aunt Nancy (Dad's younger sister, which means she was about 19 in this picture?) helped me build in Ellington, CT. I NEVER knew that Dad wasn't my "real" Dad until I bitchy home-wrecking babysitter named Lois told me when I was 11). 

My Mom's brother/my Uncle Jack, many moons ago. Jack and I have had a few falling outs but he is still my closest relative. We talk on the phone A LOT and he looks after my beloved doggy Frankie that I rescued 7 years ago. I LOVE my Uncle Freakin' Jack (UFJ)

My two favorite ladies of all time ^

 

Father of one of my big loves, in Mass. Dated Mike (not pictured) after Joey Ramone. Never worked out, distance, again, the culprit. This was during my Madonna impersonation jobbing. Worked great at night while working the clubs in and around Berlin but in the day time, well, no hiding the hideous hair and thin brows. 

 

 

Me and my Frank Frank at Uncle Jacks house (I would never have so many Christmas decorations, I hate Christmas, but Jack LOVES it and has two tress every year, one in living room, one in dining room lol).  I love going to visit UFJ and my Frank Frank.  

 

 

My Brother Chet like ten years ago. He is all grown up now. He took my mom's passing the hardest. Mommy's little boy, Daddy's little girl, as they say. I feel for him and try to keep in touch as much as I can. Love him dearly. Hate that shirt/ band he is wearing though. pfft.

 

 

My sister in 1993. We don't look very similar as we have different fathers, as I said. We do have the same twisted sense of humor though. She lives down in Georgia, as does my brother and Dad, step Mom and step Brother and my aunts. They all migrated South many years ago, but we are ALL native New Englanders.

Anyways, gotta go.. will write again when I find time

1. Cows, 2. The Constitution, 3. The Ten Commandments



       COWS

       Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing
that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track
a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right
to the stall where she slept in the state 
of Washington ?
And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are
unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around
our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow..

————————————————————————

       THE CONSTITUTION

       They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for
Iraq … Why don't we just give them ours? It was
written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for
over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.

————————————————————————

       THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

       The real reason that we can't have the Ten
Commandments posted in a courthouse or Congress is this —
you cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' 'Thou
Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not
Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and
politicians …. it creates a hostile work environment.

————————————————————————

       Also, think about this … if you don't want to
forward  this for fear of offending someone — YOU ARE PART
OF THE  PROBLEM! It is time for America to speak up!

Chiropractic Care in Pennsylvania

Reach me at: info@drdot.com and put "Dr. Brian/PA" in subject line please 

 

Dr. Brian graduated in December of 1999 from Life Chiropractic University (Marietta, GA.) and has been in practicing in Pennsylvania since 2001. Of those years, he has spent over 4 years practicing in a gym rehab setting throughout the Philadelphia area.

As a sports chiropractor he utilizes a combination of Chiropractic, Massage and Exercise Therapy.  His mission is to help individuals live healthy, proactive lifestyles. And works under the premise “work hard, player harder!!” Patients are treated throughout initial intensive, rehabilitative & wellness phases using high level stretching, modified yoga/pilates, and core stability training. Chiropractic (gentle joint manipulation via hands or machine is performed to address segmental dysfunction) and Massage (Deep Tissue, Trigger Point Therapy, & Neuromuscular Re-education) are ultimately utilized to achieve peak performance and health prevention, rather than waiting for stress-related problems to become chronic or more severe conditions.

His focus has always been on helping his patients continue to stay active or become more active…depending on their current level of fitness and health. His belief is that you are never too late to start exercising and that ANYONE, given the right guidance and support, can truly achieve their fitness goals. As a longtime fitness advocate, he has been actively involved in sports throughout his entire life. Dr. Brian has participated in cross country, track & swimming at both the high school & college level. His recent passions include yoga & the martial arts (Tae Kwon Do/Hapkido, American Kenpo Karate & more recently Muay Thai kickboxing). He’s currently a certified Turbo Kick instructor & is also the official sports chiropractor of a Martial Arts Academy in Pennsylvania.

His motto is “NO PAIN, NO GAIN does not apply when you have a condition.”  If you have any specific health complaints such as headaches, allergies, irritability, lack of normal sleep, or pain anywhere in the body
