My Trip In France for Holidays
Dec. 22th:
By car (5 hours): Barcelona (Spain) - Toulouse (France)
By train (2 hours): Toulouse (France) - Brive La Gaillarde (France)
Dec. 22th (night): saw a friend I didn’t see since one year because he was in Australia. I slept at his apartment.
Dec. 23th - Dec 26th: spent time with family for Christmas.
Dec 27th: saw a friend who is dad since September. I was his wedding witness,...
I was thinking...
Question: “What do I have to bring from France, something I don’t have and that I can’t find in Spain?”
Answer: “a toothbrush, a Signal Expert (hard). I can’t find that kind of toothbrush in Spain and I love it.”
There’s something wrong in my head.
“What a great feeling to be in love!
Not that I am or anything…

I love my neighborhood
I don’t know why in every building where I live, there is a a guy who is a do-it-yourself fan. Every day (especially on a sunday morning at 7am), he likes drilling holes and typing with a hammer.
There is another guy, above my bedroom, who likes moving all the furniture every evening. I think he has a special space for his furniture for every day of the week.
And finally, there is a guy...
46% of women prefer Internet to Sex
“An online survey commissioned by Intel has found, among other things, that 46% of women would rather go without sex for two weeks than give up the Internet for that long. The numbers get bigger for certain age groups; 49% of women aged 18-34 would make that choice, and 52% of women aged 35-44.
Some 30% of all men would swap sex for the Internet for two weeks, if they had to, with 39% of men...
Incubus - Wish You Were Here
Not a specialist
This evening, I have my 2nd date with a british girl. And as often, I scupper myself and I used to ruin all the relationships I ever had. This time, it has to be different.
Here are the things I have to say or do:
- just be myself (sincere, a little shy, a little mysterious). I don’t like to talk a lot about me.
- try to understand what she says (her north british accent is very strong)

Worst thing when you travel a lot
I began to really travel 3 years ago, and wherever I go, I never brought with me a lot of things.
I want to be sure that I can leave at anytime with few things. I know it can be weird, but I feel better thinking that way.
I just need my guitar, my computer, and just one big bag with my clothes.
But, here’s the thing. It’s been 2 years I live in Spain, and I figure out that I have...
Dear lovely stranger (end of the story)
As you know I lost my job for the next year.
It was nice to see you every day, even if we never talked. When I was bored at work or when I was in a bad day, I looked at you, you made me a smile and I forgot all around me. Finally, sometimes you made my day better.
I liked our silence, in the elevator or next to the coffee machine.
We didn’t need to speak, just a glance or a smile, and we...
Se acabo, estoy de vacaciones
After a long negociation, my company finally decided to not work anymore with my client, that is to say that I have no work for the next year.
But I’m fine, I don’t realize yet. It’s time for me to really think about what I want to do now. I was thinking of leaving Spain, and after 2 years living here, maybe it’s time to change. I am rebuilding myself, stronger.
I am...

Wait and see, be positive little boy!
Even if I am still under pressure, and waiting some good news from work, I continue my life smiling and looking at the sunny sky, like spanish people always do with the economic crisis.
So, tomorrow evening, I have a date. And this is interesting because I never saw her yet. It will be the first time. She’s not a girl found on the internet, she’s just a british girl wanting to learn...
Still alive just for one day
The day was hard and no decision has been taken. I wait a decision tomorrow. My client has an interest to work with us, my company has an interest to work with this client. But, there’s no money to invest in the market…
Je croise les doigts (it means “wish me luck”)
