Chez Jose
Une place que Mel m’a fait dcouvrir lors d’un de mes voyage mtl l’an pass. Cozy et friendly comme on dit, le service y est des plus amical et l’endroit des plus color. Je dirais que la clientle y est moiti anglo et moiti francophone, mais il n’y a pas de problme se faire servir… Continue reading Chez Jose

Même pas… Continue reading montreal now

Still in-between 2 worlds
Oh yes, here they are. I’ve picked them up at the airport on thursday night, and the process was really exhausting.

Do you know what it is to be like me
For a moment, everything gets clear. I want to do everything, I want to be everywhere. Is it everything that gets extraordinary? no, it is just my mind opening, expanding. This shall pass, too. The dreams, the hopes, my fears, all at the same time. Arts open the channels, you suddenly see, hear, understand a… Continue reading Do you know what it is to be like me

I feel tired and exausted, but strangely, really happy. Good things have started to come my way, remembering me that the universe did not forgot me as i thought. Things i have wished have come true: i have found what i think will be a wonderful job for me, something i was discouraged to find.… Continue reading change is good, if you let it happen.

But today i felt that i should. Write something. Because today is a special day, as the medias are still repeting everywhere.… Continue reading Peace
blogging and… real life
I have been wandering a lot around other people blogs lately, searching for something else than facts. In fact, i think many people use the blog as a place to list facts. Facts about who they are, what they do, what they like/dont like, etc. But i think that is not the most interesting part… Continue reading blogging and… real life

An Incomplete Manifesto for Growth
One of the best manifesto i have read so far… I still have a copy of it on my wall, a copy that i have since 2 years… Most challenging parts are in my opinion: 20. Be careful to take risks.

Topics covered for now… Continue reading Montreal links
