Lessons for a better and healthy life: How to choose a melon with "Miss Marple"? I was standing lost in uncertainty in front a of a pile of low priced Melons in my super market. It is hard to pick up the right one, you see what I mean. The Smell, the colour, the sound it makes when slightly knocked, the elasticity of the skin.... Well, lots of hints but for me no clues from. Then She came. First, I did not pay attention to her. She is not the kind of person you pay attention to. Middle sized, Middle aged, neutral tone. She reaches for one melon among hundred and claims: " that s a good one". I thought without paying attention to her: "good for you now go for kiwis" Then she came close ... read more

Spending long nights is a challenge. So I am reading. Reading a lot. Learning japaneese. A detective story. A book on Bouddhism. An other dectective story. I would like to talk to you about M.F. Dard's San Antonio. I am not going on the "genre" author, how prolific a writer he was.... No I want to thanks this writer to have created the "BERRU". Who is berru? Well, he is mankind in its bestiality. Not an evil doer no. Just an outrageously smelling, slangish and assaulting Ogre. This personnage that my own culture condamn to silence is there brought to pinacle of marvels, the achievement of a living, an elite in our society. Well, thanks you for this. For even the uggliest, the dirtiest human i meet will be teinted with this sparkle of laughter that ... read more

I am going to have some unexpected summer. I have a new job for august. Everything like an ordinary job with the exception that I am dealing with people that need extreme care. They are under 25, all have broken with their families, all have experienced the life on the streets, but all have a steady job today and just need a shelter to start a new life. I am personally watching over their nights. Making sure they ll find security and silence as they rest, answer their questions or basic need ( a glass of water, a phone call on my cellphone to warn their job they re going to be late tomorrow), welcoming them late at night (only when they come back from work). That s my new life so far. A new experience ... read more

Well I dare say that It hadnot happened for quite a long time. I have been cannibalized by a book. Unable to get my hand off of it like if glued by an unkown corruption. Unable to close my eyes as the words forged by the author burned my counsciousness. Under Hypnose, face humanity and smash your intellect and more, far much more. This guy knows something about mankind and tells you something about mankind. If it where no "kids", I would have said it is close to Ionesco's " Rhinoceros". Mr Golding' s book: Lord Of The Flies, is now close to Amelie Nothomb's "acide sulfurique". ... read more

Adoption is on every lips, subject of every talks and is a concern for officials and showbiz. Well, that s a good things for all those parents (whoever they are) who leave in despear of children.

Adopt for me means be taken away from my "kids" before we actually met. I wish ... read more

Poaching... This trapping of old is back, in between hunting and thievery, for the pleasure of some. That a mamal trapped in a collar of stainless steel, fight and pull on the trap to death, bites a member off or loose all common sens in its fear, is the only result that one expects when fixing such a trap in the vicinity of its pray. It is like a mine. The effect you expect of it is delayed in time. But lucky mamal humans are. We won't get that frenzy in such a situation, facing the unidentified caused of draidful pains. No we won't, won't we. ... read more
