L'école est sanctuaire autant que la chapelle

Au boulot aujourd'hui, ma copine et moi discutions avec un des seniors super sympa qui ne manquent pas dans la boîte. C'était sur l'éducation.

-"Avec tout ce qu'on paie comme impôts sans que cela n'améliore la qualité de l'enseignement publique. Au contraire! Ils veulent privatiser un secteur déjà privé ou tu dois payer en plus de ça des heures supp pour qu'enfin ton gamin ait un 17 en bac sans pouvoir l'utiliser pour intégrer médecine ou prépa...."

J'étais dans ma tête entre-temps avec Victor Hugo:

Chaque enfant qu'on enseigne est un homme qu'on gagne.
Quatre-vingt-dix voleurs sur cent qui sont au bagne
Ne sont jamais allés à l'école une fois,
Et ne savent pas lire, et signent d'une croix.
C'est dans cette ombre-là qu'ils ont trouvé le crime.
L'ignorance est la nuit qui commence l'abîme.
Où rampe la raison, l'honnêteté périt.

Dieu, le premier auteur de tout ce qu'on écrit,
A mis, sur cette terre où les hommes sont ivres,
Les ailes des esprits dans les pages des livres.
Tout homme ouvrant un livre y trouve une aile, et peut
Planer là-haut où l'âme en liberté se meut.
L'école est sanctuaire autant que la chapelle.
L'alphabet que l'enfant avec son doigt épelle
Contient sous chaque lettre une vertu ; le cœur
S'éclaire doucement à cette humble lueur.
Donc au petit enfant donnez le petit livre.
Marchez, la lampe en main, pour qu'il puisse vous suivre.

Je ne suis pas multi-tâche mais je me rappelle clairement les termes de la discussion ainsi que nos sauts de sujets. Je me rappelle également le discours de mon Victor dans ma tête.

And I had a dream

A beautiful dream. Dreams are a major part in my life.

And sometimes, I wake up from such a dream, such a dream yaaa salaaam, that the first thing I do during the morning while preparing my breakfast is thank the divine entity to have bestowed it upon me.

In all its holy grace and clemence, it gave me a beautiful goal affirming sweet sweet memory that will add to my inner fire.

The whole morning if not the day will be solely about being thankful and recalling every detail of the dream.

Amen.

We goin’ kindergarten

be brainless
Here we are, entertain us
Get stupid, go moron

Pepa

Pepa, Pepa, Pepa, Pepa...PEPA...PEPA, PEPA, PEPA, PEPA, PEPA, PEPA!

PEPA

-...What?

Right now

A mind oscillating between Cthulhu and propellers, colorful pencils and healthy food, rewatching of Prison Break and writing, writing, writing, writing....

Fluffy Moment

I just realized.
It's been a while since I made a new friend.
2013 was mostly about reconnecting with my lost friends and old ones. Senseï was the only new person in my life as a friend.
I therefore rediscover the pleasures of a blossoming new friendship.
It's been a while since I made a new friend and all this anticipation, excitment, old stories to share and new stories to create together is just sending my mood to radioactive levels.
I'm so grateful right now I can eat kittens and choke puppies.

One blissful night.

There are certain night' templates that triggers a poised joy which won't prevent me from sleeping.

Tea + Final Fantasy VII from the start.

 

I remember when I didn't have the game on CD anymore. I also recall when I learnt about ePSXe and FF VII PC Edition. I will NEVER EVER be grateful enough for the gift of being simply able to play FF VII.

Of being positively confident that I only have to reach out to my laptop or anyone's laptop to play it.

God bless everyone on that night.

Erevan

Occasionnellement, il m'arrive de ne pas arriver à croire.
Comme là par exemple, en train de refaire une playlist à écouter au boulot et...
Je n'arrive pas à croire que j'ai oublié Bernard Lavilliers.
Dire que ses chansons ont bercé mes 11 ans...

Mario's Speech

Renewing my affection for Linkin Park by listening to A Thousands Suns on the loop at work.

Spoke with Path' about this on that good windy Sunday: our plan to have breakfast at the beach turning into socialist convo over machiato at starbucks

-"You're one sick puppy, you know that?"

Boy, do-I-know-that! I think the fact of being fan of YOU should spare me further explanation.

Sunday's Couscous

Brought to you by Path'.

To think that a homie of mine was questioning my friend's ability to cook a couscous....

OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD

By far, this is the first evening I get to spend with myself.

And I'm not even gonna spend it with myself. I need to catch up on writing.

Enters Path', with AN OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD phone call!

It's pretty sure we're going to end up being roomies in three months or so....

OH...MY...GOD

Can I be even more grateful T_____T

I simply can't believe my luck :)

Tea and Strawberries

At A.and TJ's place.

A lovey dovey cute nest for a lovey dovey young couple.

Having a BLAST: tea being prepared and poured, good conversations, friends going on their projects and keeping on moving forward.

How grateful, extra-grateful I'm feeling tonight.

Rfissa time!

oh my gooodness, dear lord that was the best rfissa I've eaten since my childhood.


Cooked with the over-attention and extra-care of over ten ladies. Thank you Smile and girls for the unforgettable Sunday.

I litterally have nothing to say. It's just mnom-mnom like the food. You feel it in your gut.

Sky 28

Casanegra ahead in all its madness and beauty. Smile treated me to a Piña colada at the Sky 28.

I have to realize that I will live in this city once again.

Fucking Fight Club

Fuck yeah. On rewatch tonight.

Amen to that.

Women's Day

Not even a week in the new company and I'm already getting some perks.

This one for having a vagina.

I don't buy into stuff like that. I wasn't even aware of the date, but if it gets me a shopping coupon, sure, why not?

Thank you S.!

Tonari no Seki-Kun

It's been a while since I've read something new in the manga section.

Giving Tonari no Seki-kun a try.

First day at work

I'm loving this place already.

Captain Phillips

ew. So not on my  rewatch list. Tom Hanks, what the fuck?

Saturday's Cartoons

I was about to launch Scrubs while we're having breakfast, but my homie had a different idea:

-"I'd rather watch cartoons, reminds of when we were children."

That's a perfect timing to introduce her to Nausicaä.

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind on rewatch.

Bad bad oven.

I crushed at Path's place during most of these days. As if it wasn't enough that my pal bears my over-the-edge radiactive levels and cooks for me nomnomlicious food, I find myself often punshing her oven, making it face the wall or just cussing it while walking in and out o the kitchen.

I honestly don't know why specially that it has been nothing but an extremely reliable tool.

Oh well.

Hey asshole :D, you little piece of shit.
