From the fiery gates of hell

Aloha faithful (I hope!) readers!

Recently has been an extremely busy time in my life. I've had friends, now parents, visiting Paris which leads to, obviously, copious amounts of drinking and little free time for myself. On top of this, as many of you may know, has been a relative shit show at my work. So my poor neglected blog has got no loving from me.

So I have nothing really new or interesting to report. Work work work, play play, train. That's about the gist of it.

My recent thoughts?

I love a girl with a good handshake. Seriously, give a good grip ladies; any real guy will appreciate it. It shows confidence and a sense of intrigue.

French people are great. When we go out drinking (often) and make fools of ourselves (very often), I rarely hear about it the next time. It's merely, "Boy, weren't we drunk last time? Let's do it again!" I really appreciate this attitude, as it encourages the positive aspects of the social experience.

Reading is awesome. All day long my mind is racing with thoughts of computers and geophysics. But when I get on that train and open up a good book, it's like time stands still and I forget all the troubles of my day. It is one of the finer things I appreciate in life.

Duck is good. But is sucks in Canada.

I'm digging rugby right now. The French team is so great, it's truly an instantiation of the culture. They were losing to New Zealand, but when they brought out Chabal, it was a miraculous change. Like an army bringing out it's hero, the teams disposition changed and they pulled it together for the win. What a great game.

Wearing shinguards when doing kickboxing is necessary. Trust me.

Computers are both great and terrible. They will take all the verbal abuse that I spew at them all day long, but still fuck up.

I hope everybody is doing wonderfully. I want to do a real proper post soon, now that I have my computer back. Stick around, good things to come.
