Liquid song: Madonna "Liquid love".

Triste mais heureux.

"J’aime la tristesse. Je ne suis pas une personne triste, bien au contraire, mais j’aime redécouvrir la tristesse à travers la musique d’un Schumann ou d’un Malher.
Je me sens tout à fait heureux lorsque j’écoute Malher, oui tellement heureux. La musique est quelque chose de triste, mais je suis heureux en compagnie de la tristesse.”

"Oblivion" by Julia Migenes

Foreign Office / A story of words

July the 24th:
Gage: "...French are arrogant...but you're not."
Julien: "We're not arrogant. We know better." (joke)


August the 27th, speech to the ambassadors:
President N. Sarkozy: "...a catastrophic alternative: the iranian [nuclear] bomb or the bombardment of Iran."

September the 16th, radio interview:
Foreign minister B. Kouchner: "It is necessary to get ready for the worst:...it is war."

I don't know wether or not we're arrogant. For sure, we're getting stupid.

Iran, Kouchner: "Se préparer au pire".

Au moins est-il en adéquation avec son employeur, monsieur Nicolas, qui rappelait récemment: "...la bombe nucléaire iranienne ou le bombardement de l'Iran..."

Check up.

Today, i went for my annual check up. Once in a year, i go to the dermatologist for her to examine my moles. I have plenty.
She asked me to come back next week to remove one. I wanted to wait for october. She said no.
Cancerous? Not cancerous?
She already removed a mole a few years ago.

Back!

In a way I withdrew myself from the real world, especially during the second part of my trip. No internet, no radio, no TV...only a phone to sms when i needed to...and a lot of books.
I needed to think, to take a look back at my life.
I also needed to talk to some people.
Some things changed. In a way, i think i changed...for some parts...
I'm in a very biting mood.
I'm back!

I want to grow old with you.

Recently, a friend of mine told me he wanted to grow old with me.
I felt very touched.
But the most important is that he made me realize that it's exactly what i want to tell you, my friends.
It's exactly the way i imagine friendship. Feelings i have for a friend are that strong.
A friend is someone unique, someone i can trust and rely on.
Thank you Pascal for finding this piece of my puzzle.
Marie, Stéphanie, Anne, Davy, David, Clay, Yih Shyang, Gage, Régine, Shuan-Tyng, Wat, Pascal, Joshua, RJ: i know that life might make things different. I know some event might tear us apart, but i want to tell you that i want to grow old with you.
