Chocolate, sport, cheese and laughs are the best inventions ever. They don't necessarily mix all too well at once. I preach the soccer and running gospel, without forgetting Team Handball (see my videos)... I spice things up with some dancing (Lindy/swing, Blues, Tango, maybe Salsa one day?), and COOKING! I do carry a French gene afterall ;)
But to tell you, traveling is by far the thing that motivates me the most, otherwise, why am I so far from home???
Well who else other than YOU!?!
If you can draw a smile from me, I'll write you back a novel, no less.
Oh, and this video is my favourite type of dance: Blues Dancing! If you Blues dance, you're GOLDEN... if you don't, you can always ask for a lesson ;)
My favourite movie quote:
"Ecoute Bernard... Je crois que toi et moi, on a un peu le meme probleme: c'est a dire qu'on peut pas vraiment tout miser sur notre physique... enfin surtout toi. Alors si je peux me permettre de te donner un conseil, c'est oubli que t'as aucune chance, vas y fonce. On sait jamais sur un malentendu ca peut marcher."
Jean-Claude Duss, Les bronzes font du ski
"Listen Bernard... I believe you and I have the same issue: we can't really rely entirely on our physical attributes... especially you. So forget that you have no chance, just go for it. You never know, a misunderstanding might just make it work."
Eclectic taste liking oldies yet constantly looking for originality or groovy style (so I can shake my derriere on it...)
U2 (of course!), Jack Johnson, Blue October, Amy Winehouse, The Cranberries, Tina Arena, Gnarls Barkley, Katie Melua, Natasha Bedingfield, Keane, Damien Rice (thanks Caitlyn!), Juanes, Moby...
As for French groups: Cabrel, Goldman, Renaud, Kyo, Calogero... But to be exhaustive, I would have to add everything I can dance to ;)
Sugar coated movies ain't my stuff. I dig originality, great directing and acting. Jacques Audiard is one of my favourite directors: have you seen "read my lips"? BEAUTIFUL
So, well, I love indie and foreign movies...
the Shawshank Redemption, Waking Ned Devine, Gattaca, Amelie, Goodbye Lenin, the Commitments, Office Space, Read my lips, the Blues Brothers, Swingers, Lost in Translation, The Station Agent, la Vita E Bella, le Grand Bleu... That's about nearly it, plus or minus 37
I used to watch 'the Office' and 'my name is Earl'... but I busted my TV so I could do other things more active
I must have a fascination for Human decadence, cause I went through 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, and Oryx&Crake. What's wrong with me???
Otherwise "Notre Dame de Paris", "Le rouge et le noir", "L'education Sentimentale", "les fourmis", yeah I know, bunch of Frenchie sounding books. How about "the DaVinci Code"? Really cool novel indeed, though "Angels&Demons" was equally as fantabulous.
Favourite authors: Paulo Coelho, Umberto Eco, Bernard Werber, and Dean R. Koontz (for the creepy side of me)...
Mr. Furious!!!! (as in the movie Mystery Men) Ok, seriously, WOLVERINE is so cool 'cause he can cook bare hands... And that guy, SPIDERMAN, awesome I shall say, just hope he will never have cardiac problems. But the strongest in my mind is the Dalai Lama: compassion is at the root of all forms of love...
