I should mention that I managed a 45 minute jog this morning.
I could write something about the weather.
I could write how irritating is my Internet wireless connection.
I could write about the Wii Fit i broke while testing some awkward positions.
I could write up how old my "wardrobe" is looking these days.
I could publish the beginnings of a rather crappy short story I've had sitting in draft for months.
I should ask if anyone knows the maximum dimensions for hand luggage on a Tahiti Nui flight.
But I can't, I won't.
This may be the fault of getting old (maybe grumpy) or it may just be because I'm just "blah" about blogging.
No, that's not true. It's not because i don't want to but because I just can't seem to get started on anything. I had hoped procrastinating on the topic may have helped but, alas, no.
Have a beautiful day,
Frenchguy.

I better post something. Anything. If I don’t then I might as well delete this blog. The problem is that when you’ve taken such a long break from blogging you do feel as if you should have some phenomenal shattering reason for not having posted for a while and I don’t.
So I’m posting something. This. It’s not much but it’ll do for a start.
Hope to catch my Buddies later on...
Have a beautiful day,

I'm lying on the sofa, laptop perched on a tray, listening to this korean monk/shaman SimJin Seunim. It's a little tricky to type because i've got a cut on the middle finger, and my left knee is damn... painful. Why? results of moving.
Moving... not a simple job, as it turned out, particularly when you have a bad knee -after 15 years+ of Basketball and almost 10 of american football- which is something I hadn't really factored into the process of carrying all my stuff by... myself. Gulp.
However, what a difference to leave an apartment for a house (even if it's temporary).
And while watching through the window, memories came flooding back... Do children still play in the street? Times of riding around on my bike, playing tag and that one where you tied some "good" friend to a lampost and everyone ran off to hide... Do kids play as well? Tennis in the street when Roland-Garros/Wimbledon are on, Badminton on the big patch of grass where the Water/Power block was on, and Football at every other turn because, after Action Man and looking under Girl's skirt, that's what Boys did back then.
I had a pretty damn good childhood, i realise this may just be to the fact that i'm getting older and have struggle so much those last months... anyway, enough of that.
I will have a quiet evening in front of the Tv set and watch 2 good British movies 'L4yer Cake' with D.Craig and 'The Matador' with P.Brosnan -funny... 2 J.Bond actors-
I'd better say goodbye.
Have a beautiful day,
Frenchguy

No, he isn't the greatest Olympian...

Sorry, but Michael PHELPS isn't the greatest Olympian, being the winningest swimmer ... yes.
One of the greatest Olympian if not the greatest would be Jesse OWENS. The courage that he showed in the face of unrelenting racism was Olympian by itself. And then the grace and dignity, not to mention the unprecedented physical ability, that he demonstrated in Berlin in 1936 . . .
JESSE OWENS (1913-1980)
Jesse Owens's Olympic success is one of the great sporting stories of triumph over adversity. Owens won four gold medals at the Berlin Olympics in 1936 - a remarkable achievement in itself, but even more so when you consider that the black athlete achieved his victories in the swastiker-clad heart of Nazi Germany.
Hitler had hoped the games would provide tangible proof of the Nazi's racial supremacy. He couldn't have been more wrong. Owens equalled the Olympic record in the 100m, had the three best jumps in the long jump, and the 4x100m relay team - of which Owens was the anchor man - set a world-record which was to last for 20 years.
Then, you should consider Carl LEWIS who compete in running from the 100 meters to the 400 meters and in long jump...
Actual US have an "Identity crisis", I don't blame it... with a lousy presidency, slowing economy, a non-end War. Medias are focus on creating a hero to show the greatness and force of this country. We are constantly feed of pictures/interviews of feat from a young man representing those US. I'm already on overdose state.
It's absurd that People are so blind and willing to suggest that Michael PHELPS, even with all his medals, his millions of dollars in endorsements are greater than Jesse OWENS.
Then, denaturing the concept of the Olympics by counting the medals number (gold/silver/bronze) to show your "superiority" over others is overrated. This "gold chase" is simply unnecessary made by people who don't even compete and/or have abilities to do so. It's like watching pre-school kids fighting about having the biggest marbles in their bags.
Medias/supporters shouldn't emphasis this "gold chase". Period.
The Olympic Motto is "Citius, Altius, Fortius," a Latin phrase meaning "Swifter, Higher, Stronger." Coubertin's ideals are probably best illustrated by the Olympic Creed:
"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well"

Rugby and Sebastien CHABAL

YUP YUP... Rugby season is ON !!!!
The English Premiership (known as the Guinness Premiership because of the league's sponsorship by Guinness) is a professional league competition for rugby union football clubs in the top division of the English rugby system. There are, at present, twelve clubs in the Premiership. Clubs competing in the Guinness Premiership qualify for Europe's two club competitions, the Heineken Cup and the European Challenge Cup. The current champions are the London Wasps
But i support the SALES SHARKS (05/06 champion) because of Sébastien Chabal (born 8 December 1977)He is a French rugby union player who plays at number eight for Sale Sharks and France, and has also played as a lock for France.He is known for his beard and his long hair, leading to French rugby fans nicknaming him "l'Homme des Cavernes"—the Caveman.
At 6.2 (1.90) and 253lbs (115Kilos) -I have the same 'mesurements'  - He is renowned for his hard-hitting and aggressive style of play, but a short temper has led to disciplinary problems, most recently on 26 February 2006, when he received a red card for stamping on Wasps player Lawrence Dallaglio. Chabal has acquired cult status at Sale, enjoying the nickname "Seabass", and also affectionately by English rugby fans as the "homme des grottes". He has developed a strong online following who call themselves "Chabalists.
If you want to see some big "hits" from S. CHABAL, just check YouTube. One of the most wellknowned is when Masoe received a crunching tackle from Chabal when he played New Zealand in the Autumn Tests of 2006. This made Masoe stagger and took minutes to recover from the devastating yet legal blow from "L'homme des cavernes" or "The Caveman". Speculation into Chabal's aggressiveness could stem from when the All Blacks performed the Haka, the Kapo O Panga version, whilst the All Blacks did the controversial throat slitting gesture, Masoe was staring at his opposite number eight. This could have been the reason for the bone crunching tackle from Chabal, though there is no evidence for this.
I like this guy, if i was gay he would be my "Prince Charmant"... LoL
Have a beautiful day,

Birth Date test...

Mood: calm,

Our Birth Date describes who we are, what we are good at, and what our inborn abilities are. It also points to what we have to learn and the challenges we are facing. To figure out your Birth Number, add all the numbers in your Birth Date together, like in the following example, until there is only one digit.
A Birth Number does not prevent you from being anything you want to be, it will just color your choice differently and give you a little insight.
Example: March 20, 1950
3 + 20 + 1950 = 1973
1 + 9 + 7 + 3 = 20
2 + 0 = 2
September 26,1969
9 + 26 + 1969 = 2004
2 + 0 + 0 + 4 = 6
Keep going until you end up with a single digit number. 2 is the Birth Number to read for the Birth Date in the example. The result 6 being mine... yup, i'm a romantic. How many times did i told you so. LoL
#1 THE ORIGINATOR
#2 THE PEACEMAKER
#3 THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
#4 THE CONSERVATIVE
#5 THE NONCONFORMIST
#6 TH E ROMANTIC
#7 THE INTELLECTUAL
#8 THE BIG SHOT
#9 THE PERFORMER
# 1 - THE ORIGINATOR - 1's are originals. Coming up with new ideas and executing them is natural. Having things their own way is another trait that gets them labeled as being stubborn and arrogant. 1's are extremely honest and would do well to learn some diplomacy skills. They like to take the initiative and are often leaders or bosses, as they like to be the best. Being self-employed is definitely helpful for them. Lessons to learn: Others' ideas might be just as good or better; and to stay open minded.
Famous 1's - Tom Hanks, Robert Redford, Hulk Hogan, Carol Burnett, Wynona Judd, Nancy Reagan, and Raquel Welch.
#2 - THE PEACEMAKER - 2's are the born diplomats. They are aware of others' needs and moods and often think of others before themselves. Naturally analytical and very intuitive, they don't like to be alone. Friendship and companionship are very important and can lead them to be successful in life; but, on the other hand, they'd rather be alone than in an uncomfortable relationship. Being naturally shy, they should learn to boost their self-esteem and express themselves freely and seize the moment and not put things off.
Famous 2's - President Bill Clinton, Madonna, Whoopie Goldberg, Thomas Edison and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
# 3 - THE LIFE OF THE PARTY - 3's are idealists. They are very creative, social, charming, romantic, and easygoing. They start many things but don't always see them through. They like others to be happy and go to great lengths to achieve it. They are very popular and idealistic. They should learn to see the world from a more realistic point of view.
Famous 3's - Alan Alda, Ann Landers, Bill Cosby, Melanie Griffith, Salvador Dali, and Jodi Foster
# 4 - THE CONSERVATIVE - 4 's are sensible and traditional. They like order and routine. They only act when they fully understand what they're expected to do. They like getting their hands dirty and working hard. They are attracted to the outdoors and feel an affinity with nature. They are prepared to wait and can be stubborn and persistent. They should learn to be more flexible and to be nice to themselves.
Famous 4's - Neil Diamond, Margaret Thatcher, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tina Turner, Paul Hogan, and Oprah Winfrey
# 5 - THE NONCONFORMIST - 5's are the explorers. Their natural curiosity, risk taking, and enthusiasm often land them in hot water. They need diversity, and don't like to be stuck in a rut. The whole world is their school and they see a learning possibility in every situation. The questions never stop. They are well advised to look before they take action and make sure they have all the facts before jumping to conclusions.
Famous 5's - Abraham Lincoln, Charlotte Bronte, Jessica Walter, Vincent Van Gogh, Bette Midler, Helen Keller and Mark Hail.
# 6 - THE ROMANTIC - 6's are idealistic and need to feel useful to be happy. A stro ng family connection is important to them. Their actions influence their decisions. They have a strong urge to take care of others and to help. They are very loyal and make great teachers. They like art or music. They make loyal friends who take the friendship seriously. 6's should learn to differentiate between what they can change and what they cannot.
Famous 6's - Albert Einstein, Jane Seymour, John Denver, Meryl Streep, Christopher Columbus, and Goldie Hawn
#7 - THE INTELLECTUAL - 7's are the searchers. Always probing for hidden information, they find it difficult to accept things at face value. Emotions don't sway their decisions. Questioning everything in life, they don't like to be questioned themselves. They're never off to a fast start, and their motto is 'slow and steady wins the race.' They come across as philosophers and being very knowledgeable, and sometimes as loners. They are technically inclined and make great researchers uncovering information. They like secrets. They live in their own world and should learn what is acceptable and what is not in the world at large.
Famous 7's - William Shakespeare, Lucille Ball, Michael Jackson, Joan Baez, Princess Diana, and Vince Ricciardi
# 8 - THE BIG SHOT - 8's are the problem solvers. They are professional, blunt, and to the point, have good judgment and are decisive. They have gra nd plans and like to live the good life. They take charge of people. They view people objectively. They should learn to base their decisions on their own needs rather than on what others want.
Famous 8's - Edgar Cayce, Barbra Streisand, George Harrison, Jane Fonda, Pablo Picasso, Aretha Franklin, and Nostradamus.
#9 - THE PERFORMER - 9's are natural entertainers. They are very caring and generous, giving away their last dollar to help. With their charm, they have no problem making friends and nobody is a stranger to them. They have so many different personalities that people around them have a hard time understanding them. They are like chameleons, ever changing and blending in. They have tremendous luck, but also can suffer from extremes in fortune and mood. To be successful, they need to build a loving foundation. Famous 9s - Albert Schweitzer, Shirley MacLaine, Harrison Ford, Jimmy Carter, and Elvis Presley
So... is the result quite interesting for you too?
Have a beautiful day,
Frenchguy
