Pour un instant

Pour un instant je n'avais pas la capacité de voire
Ça m'a permis d'apprécier la monde

okay enough of me being cheesy but that Harmonium song is awesomeee and you all know how i like to pirate songs and vandalize the lyrics etc....

Anyhoo, if I haven't whined to you about this yet, I am going for a consultation for laser eye surgery and so i was wandering aroudn blind for an entire week until I got glasses today which may be ugly but I don't care I CAN SEE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really, it's so cliche to say this, but we really take vision for granted. People with even minor sight disabilities live in a different world. It really sucks to not be able to know what's going on, difficult to appreciate movies and then have everyone around you assume you can see so when you're staring at stuff trying to figure out what it is or trying to get a good look at some one and accidentally get all up in their grill, everyone thinks you're weird and eccentric and probably trying to steal something out of their store. GARGH

But it's all done (for now) so whatever.

Also
Pour un instant, j'ai devenu un STAR
Ça m'a permis de devenir un figurant

haha, i was an extra for a security video... if anyone ever decided to come in and shoot up UQTR, I will know how to barricade myself in a classroom and pretend to look serious!
Remember all those security movies we've watched with the people with hair from the 70s??? well this movie is like that, but with people from now + me... meaning I'm totally going to be made fun off by the countless people who see this movie in the years to come.... awesome.

ben, c'est tout pour maintenant

EXPLORE

Alright, I guess it's about time I talk about EXPLORE.
I'm still having Redfish withdrawal but it's been 10 days already.
I've been having a lot of fun, the people here are super nice and it's interesting to have slow, almost juvenile conversations with everyone because they are in French.
My housemates are awesome and along with Mike (our honorary housemate) we have beaucoup de fun.
Oh yeah, I'm also un Tortue Ninja - Leonardo to be exact.
I love talking to the locals here although I've only gone out a couple of times - it's awesome because they use "what's your sign" as a pick up line here! it's gotten so out of fashion it's cool again or something hahah

I'm also taking a class thing on French songs and seeking guitar teachers - i've taught and wrote a couple more songs which has been tres ecoeurant!

The food here sucks except for today when I got to eat RATATOUILLE!! that was pretty awesome because of the movie

Les boys here aren't that bad looking either ;)

Anyways if you're reading this, you're probably someone I miss so drop me a line or call me (msg me for the number)

Love ya
