It’s just to say I’m done. Yes. DONE. Finished.
Exhausting.
I never thought it would end this way.
Three months I reckoned. Three months.
It was all supposed to be so simple…and none of it was.
But now I’m done.
So I’m done.
See you later.
Have a beautiful day.

Marshmallow and Co.

As I had a nice dinner on Christmas evening (24th) at Camille's house (french friend), I spend the 25th of december with... myself.
Like a good, lazy, old bachelor... i decided to "treat" myself for diner and was quickly ready for a short ride to my "next-to-the corner" Carl's Junior. After a difficult moment, i opted for a SuperStar (Large combo) and 2 big hamburgers...
I had to stop by the 7eleven for some "sugar/dessert fix".
Well... to make short. After eating Carl's junior, it would be wise not to eat, as I did, a full large bag of marshmallow for dessert.
Did i mention that I was drinking wine with my burgers?
As of today, my stomach still hurt as hell while being "fluffy" like a marshmallow.
Have a beautiful day

Grinch-ness...

At this point of the year, my resolution to "keep in" my inner Grinch character and to present a Red-nose reindeer attitude to all is beginning to slow down. Well, a lot actually... It's not my fault.
Despite the efforts of the advertising industry to get me into the holiday shopping spirit as early as last June, I have yet to get into this. I am not suggesting that every one needs to have a "Very Brady Christmas," but I do think that certain conditions need to be right in order to feel the sense of holiday excitement.
To begin with, the weather plays a big part in my "festive" spirit. Though most of the neighbours tries to get me into the spirit by hanging lights on trees and holding holiday sing-alongs, it's hard to get into the "White Christmas" mood when the temperature hasn't dropped below 32 degrees. The Christmas carols that people sing have had to be updated with new lyrics such as, "Frosty the Mudman" and "Do You Hear What I Hear?… Yes, That's the Sound of the Bi Hall Air Conditioning System."
The holidays have become solely about shopping. Turn on the radio, and you're likely to be bombarded with commercials announcing, "There are only 20 days left before Christmas." I found this to be an insult to my intelligence. Thank you very much, but I know when Christmas is–Dec. 27. (These reminders seem pointless to me, because, as everyone knows, no one really starts worrying about buying gifts until they announce, "There are only two more shopping hours before Christmas, and the K-Mart is about to close.")
Make me think to recycle those Christmas cards that i bought 3/4 years ago... i should maybe send some of them.
This lack of holiday spirit makes me look alike the Grinch. (Praise Him)
In the meantime... Merry Christmas, Happy Hollydays, Happy Hannukah, Seasons Greetings, Joyeux Noel and all that stuff....
Have a beautiful day.

I should mention that I managed a 45 minute jog this morning.
I could write something about the weather.
I could write how irritating is my Internet wireless connection.
I could write about the Wii Fit i broke while testing some awkward positions.
I could write up how old my "wardrobe" is looking these days.
I could publish the beginnings of a rather crappy short story I've had sitting in draft for months.
I should ask if anyone knows the maximum dimensions for hand luggage on a Tahiti Nui flight.
But I can't, I won't.
This may be the fault of getting old (maybe grumpy) or it may just be because I'm just "blah" about blogging.
No, that's not true. It's not because i don't want to but because I just can't seem to get started on anything. I had hoped procrastinating on the topic may have helped but, alas, no.
Have a beautiful day,
Frenchguy.

I better post something. Anything. If I don’t then I might as well delete this blog. The problem is that when you’ve taken such a long break from blogging you do feel as if you should have some phenomenal shattering reason for not having posted for a while and I don’t.
So I’m posting something. This. It’s not much but it’ll do for a start.
Hope to catch my Buddies later on...
Have a beautiful day,

1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can’t smoke any of them.
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of “hook up” and “breakup.”
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as “dressed up.”
10. You’re the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door won’t turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12. You don’t know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.
14. You feed your dog “Science Diet” instead of McDonald’s leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You take naps.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at three in the morning would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A four dollar bottle of wine is no longer “pretty good shit.”
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. “I just can’t drink the way I used to” replaces “I’m never going to drink that much again.”
23. Ninety percent of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking “Oh shit what the hell happened?”
Bonus:26: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that it doesn’t apply to you and can’t find one to save your sorry old ass.
Have a beautiful day,
Frenchguy.

I'm lying on the sofa, laptop perched on a tray, listening to this korean monk/shaman SimJin Seunim. It's a little tricky to type because i've got a cut on the middle finger, and my left knee is damn... painful. Why? results of moving.
Moving... not a simple job, as it turned out, particularly when you have a bad knee -after 15 years+ of Basketball and almost 10 of american football- which is something I hadn't really factored into the process of carrying all my stuff by... myself. Gulp.
However, what a difference to leave an apartment for a house (even if it's temporary).
And while watching through the window, memories came flooding back... Do children still play in the street? Times of riding around on my bike, playing tag and that one where you tied some "good" friend to a lampost and everyone ran off to hide... Do kids play as well? Tennis in the street when Roland-Garros/Wimbledon are on, Badminton on the big patch of grass where the Water/Power block was on, and Football at every other turn because, after Action Man and looking under Girl's skirt, that's what Boys did back then.
I had a pretty damn good childhood, i realise this may just be to the fact that i'm getting older and have struggle so much those last months... anyway, enough of that.
I will have a quiet evening in front of the Tv set and watch 2 good British movies 'L4yer Cake' with D.Craig and 'The Matador' with P.Brosnan -funny... 2 J.Bond actors-
I'd better say goodbye.
Have a beautiful day,
Frenchguy
