Hello,
Just coming from having a couple of beers with Betty, Kim and my friend Nick.
As I had no really any plan to celebrate my birthday, I told Betty I would go to my work at the end of the evening shift and ask Kim and Nick if they want to join us.
And so we did.
We stayed there till midnight or so and despite being tired as I worked the morning shift and have to re-work again tomorrow, I had a really nice evening.
Strange that usually, all the actions spontaneously done turn to be much better that everything planned.
But ok, I had a great evening, with Betty and one of my great friends, Kim and with Nick too.
We had lots of fun, laughing a lot too.
I hope to do that again soon.

Hello,
After a few days following Thanksgiving, when I felt really down, today was a great day!
Today's day at work was good, and after work I went for a cold beer with a co-worker to a nice little "café/pizzeria". She knew the place and the beer served there was nicely cold and thirst quenching.
We had a few hours interesting, funny, witty conversation. The kind of thing I needed after those bad days.
Despite not knowing her since a very long time, Kim has entered very fast in my circle of close friends.
I also found out that Betty, my wife, wanted to throw a big birthday party for my 45 years old, on the 17th. But for financial and logistic reasons it cannot be done. This would have been a great surprise!
But ok, I'm off to bed now, feeling much happier and ready to enjoy a well deserved day off.

Hello!
What a day! Thanksgiving, in Canada, is over and I'm glad...
No, I did not have lots of food, no I had no fun, no I did have not a good day.
Actually my last three days were just plain shitty.
I am very happy to go back to work tomorrow.
I hate those "holidays" where everybody is happy or try to make it sound happy.
I hate freaking turkeys as well as chickens.
I wish I would have sleep for the last three days.
Oh yes, I had my wife and a couple of good friends visiting and that was the only nice thing.
But my wife's kids with forced smiles and forcing themselves to be polite, no thanks.
I am not respected at home, so why should it change on a holiday? Remember I'm only the stepdad so I have barely the right to shut up.
So be it, I don't interact with those strangers, I just refuse to.
Tomorrow I'll see my co-workers again and I'll have fun again.
I just hope they won't tell me about their thanksgiving.

Hello!
I had a nice weekend. A friend of mine from work stayed at our house with her little boy.
Although very active, he's nice, polite and very smart...for only 5 years old.
A few times I had to go out with any excuse to go to buy something, just because the energy of this little boy was too "high" for me. Once in a while, I needed quiet and peace.
Saturday evening, we went to another friend of work to play a "truth or dare" game. We almost pissed our pants from laughing. There were some more people that I didn't knew there, but with this game, it didn't really matter.
I had a cigarette, actually two and they felt nice.
The weather is warm again, amazingly surprising for October in Canada, but ok, I don't complain.
Little by little, I'm getting closer to my 45th birthday. It'll be in 14 days now.
But ok, there's still time...

6 months already!
Today it's 6 months and 2 days that I was operated of my first open heart surgery.
If it would not be because the huge scar which divides my torso, I would not know that I had such operation.
April 1st to October 1st.
I feel very good, healthy and happy.
I will never thank enough Dr. Tirone David from the Toronto General Hospital.
He saved my life once and he did it again on May 2nd.

Hello!
I was very disapointed today to see that after my suggestion of raising funds for the victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita at my work, the idea was well received, but the logistic was just nasty. As I work for the Canadian federal government, unfortunately I have to follow the procedure for lots of things. Just when the result of the burocratic procedure is bad, there is so little I can do.
Going on my own, with my own ideas would have caused me trouble. So sadly, I let "Big Brother" take care of that, hoping good results, just hoping...
Talking about hurricanes, we got very bad weather, just a lot of rain and wind resulting of Rita. For us, it was bad but I guess for Louisiana, this weather here was only a joke.
This weekend, a good friend of mine from work, Dora, will stay with her son here at home. I look forward to this weekend as Dora is funny and nice and her son Adam is just a nice 5 years old little boy.
Dora is my friend in the town I work who offered me to spend the night at her house in case of really bad weather or if I have to work short changes. Because of her offer to "help" me, I invited her and her son to spend the weekend with us, at our house. Besides that, I think Dora is a bit lonely and being around friends should be good for her.
Two days ago, I got a call from my dad, in Paris, telling me that his brother, my only uncle had a stroke, a mild one. Of course, I spoke with him since and I had a good conversation with him. He seems to have overcome this event in a very good way.
My work is doing ok. After a year of being there, I get to integrate some "gangs" of co-workers who are there way before me. I'm a kind of rookie for them, but sometimes I feel that I started to work there at the same time as them. I really have great co-workers.
Sometimes I have the feeling I have neglected a bit my very old friends from Europe for my new ones here. I don't think it's true. I'll have to catch up on a few delayed letters or mails.
I'm having dark chocolate now. Even though it's loaded with caffeine, it helps me sleep. Go figure...

Hello!
I had a few last couple of days.
Today, Fernando Alonso won the Formula 1 world champion title. My Spanish side is happy.
I was on a 5 days work in a row and today is my only day off before 5 days in a row again. The weather is kind of weird. It's raining but it's warm at the same time. Not really sure how to dress...
Two nights ago, I spent the night at a good friend of mine, who lives in the same town where I work. I stayed at her house because I finished my day late at night and I had to restart early in the morning. And with the prices of gas, there's no point driving the 100km back and forth just because.
We had dinner late and we talked to 2 in the morning. I slept on a futon and it was not very confortable as the matress is very thin.
We had breakfast with her son too and before I left to work, I told her that one weekend, we would invite her to spend it with us at home.
My dog feels much better. We know what she has. It's wheat allergy, so I had to buy lots of new food for her. With this new food, she feels much better and is more active.
I'm seriously wishing of a holiday in Europe, to see family and friends. Sadly, it seems very far in time. The only way I connect with them now is through e.mail and phone, but there's nothing like a good "in person" conversation and laughs.
I'm having my dinner now: Clam chowder. Nobody likes that in the house, so I'm sure it will not disappear. I'm looking for a second job I could do simultaneously with my main one. I need to pay my bills so I don't have to struggle at the moment of paying my car.
Here in the house, everybody went through a nasty cold. Everybody but me. So, either it's just a matter of time for me, or I avoided it.
But ok, time will tell.

Hello!
A bad day today...
I almost got killed on the highway but a driver who did not respect a stop sign.
I got the scare of my life.
Coming home, I saw that the cat the kids found in the bush will stay home, despite our rule of no more pets.
Obviously nobody cares of those rules...
I wonder of their reaction if I brough back a 7 meters python to stay home...
I feel ignored in my house. I refuse to participate in any social events, from outings to meals with the kids. For them I don't exist anyway, so what difference would it made?
I just wait for the day they'll move out. I'll be the happiest stepdad on Earth.
Oh yes, I'm just the stepdad and that's why, whatever I say doesn't count. For them, I don't belong to the family.
Today I had to cancel our cell phones accounts.
Thanks to the price of gas, I cannot afford to pay them anymore. It's either gas in the car to go to work, plus paying for my car once a month or maintining the cell phones on. Well gues what... The cell phones can kiss my butt. Driving soon in the winter without cell phone in the car will be another story, but ok, I'll live without them.
The company I was dealing with did not want to accept a payment arrangement, well gues what. Ciao. And many congratulations for their customer service and availability for arranging payments...
I would have been dealing with a bull or an alligator, it would have been easier... Thanks Telus!
So now, we don't have cell phones anymore. Now I will enjoy the luxus or not being available if somebody needs to contact me.
Hope this day is fast over...

Hello!
Today was a day a bit better than yesterday.
A friend of mine from work doesn't work anymore since yesterday. It's a pity, he was a nice and friendly guy.
The weather here got cooler and it's going to be much more confortable to sleep tonight.
Tomorrow is my 5th wedding anniversary.
No big celebration, we did that already last weekend with our other friends. Just a nice card to my loved wife.
Tomorrow, despite this "day" for me, I have to work. No indulgence from employer...
I just saw Bush on Tv. What a shame... Again and again, he promissed to do something for New Orleans. Is he lying again? That wouldn't surprised me...
Anyway, I got to go. Motley Crüe is on Tv.
Bush or Motley Crüe on Tv, esthetically speaking, what's the choice?
I guess I will press the "off" button for Tv tonight...

Hello,
Today is the first day of two days off work. I feel very strange today. I am very frustrated with my job, not seeing any possibility of advancing in the scale. The fact that with the price of gas now, I have the feeling that I work only to pay my car and my gas to go to work doesn't really help. I'd like to find another job closer to home to help the second job but it's not easy. Playing with two schedules is not easy.
I feel sick too. I have eaten lots of cashew nuts in the last couple of days and I'm paying for that too. But ok, I love them so much...
The humidity and heat here now are not nice either. The rain we had today was suppose to be a relief...Ya right... I can see another bad night sleep coming tonight!
Good that I have my music and my autobiography that I'm writting slowly, it kills a few boring hours.
Anyway, hope things will get better soon.

Hello!
This past weekend was awsome. I went with my wife to visit a couple of very good friends, 200 km from home. We ate very good, had a lot of fun playing different games. We celebrated in advance our both wedding anniversaries with Champagne, s'il vous plait...
We went to a "club" which was a nightmare for me. Not so lonely soldiers wives, soldiers in quest of adventure, a few "horses" and a very bad music...
We went to listen to a live band, which was really good. Good bass/keyboard player, good guitar player and funny faces drummer, with arms as thin as his drum sticks. The weather was very cooperant even if on Saturday morning, I had to buy a sweatshirt as walking in the night was a bit too cool. Watcha bit of funny things on Tv.
A very nice weekend indeed. (This "indeed" sounds very British, no?).
On the drive back home, in the dusk, I almost hit a bear on the highway... My advice: Never drive at dusk. Either in full day or in full night...
Today it's back to work day, and the weather is getting better and better...

Hello!
Today was quiet and sunny.
In the evening, despite most of the invited persons did not show up at the "truth or dare" party, some were there and we had a blast. I guess we'll have to do that again, in small committee.
Tomorrow, school starts back and that indicates the begin of the holidays for the parents.
I'm working back tomorrow and that's a great thing for me.
Ok, I'll watch a French movie now and then to bed!

Hello!
I had a nice and peaceful day today.
This evening I watched one of my favorite movies "The bridges of Madison County".
I can't help it, I love Clint Eastwood as director or actor.
Today my diet was not the greatest: Olives, cookies with chocolate milk, potato chips, chocolate, a sandwich and liters of Diet Coke. Classic weekend diet.
Tomorrow my day should be a good one too, especially with the "Truth or dare" party I will host in the evening, where some of my close friends will be present.
Anyway, I'm on my way to bed.

Not a bad day today... Work was fun and afternnon and evening at home were just fine.
Tomorrow I intend to go to the public library to get the book: "The catcher in the rye".
Has anybody read it?
I'll see if I can borrow any good movie too.
I am off for 3 days in a row. I don't like that.
There's soccer on Tv tomorrow. I'll watch it, I love that.

Hello!
What a weird evening tonight...
I am very tired, but I don't want to go to bed.
There's Bruce Springsteen singing unplugged on tv.
He's good singing in concert, but I find that in solo...well, there's much better than him!
I bought some chocolate today and I want some, but I know that it won't help me for sleeping.
There's a Rolling Stones song that I love called "Mixed emotions". I guess that's my state of mind tonight...
No real reason why. I kind of feel "strange".
I was happy today to hear that some friends I know in person have read this blog.
I'm looking forward to a party that will take place next Monday in my town. That should be fun.
Ok, I'm going have a little piece of chocolate. I might pay for it later this night, but ok, chocolate is chocolate!

Hello,
Today on the news, I saw that Katrina made much more damage than people thought.
Here in Canada, we got the "tail" of it...
I spoke with my parents today. They were worried as in Europe the news said Katrina was going North.
I have not seen them since a long while. I hope to see them soon. But, with the increase of the price of gas, I can imagine that the price of airfares is going to raise too...
Tonight, walking my dog, I saw a red star. Was it Mars maybe? I don't know but I imagine that on Mars maybe "somebody" is looking at a blue star and wondering if it is the planet Earth...
I'm tired tonight. Tired and hungry for some chocolate, but I don't have any at home. Oh, I could go out but I don't feel like going out. I feel confy in my shorts and I have to get up early again tomorrow.
Conclusion: Chocolate? Yes, just not tonight...
With this sweet dreams, I'm on my way to bed!

Hello!
This morning, watching TV turned to be sad as CNN announced Katrina ready to hit New Orleans. Tonight, after coming back from work, powerless, I see the damage of Katrina on The Big Easy. It was even worst for me to see those pictures as I was able to visit New Orleans about 19 years ago. I have from there fantastic souvenirs, a great food, music to bring tears and a "crazy" ambiance.
I had a call today at work who took longer to process. It was interesting even though I was in a hurry to finish.
On the way back home, I saw the quiet little waves on the lake. I imagined my city with a hurricane like Katrina. It would be all swept... Not really a loss, but I live not far from the lake!
Tonight, Jay Leno was nice enough not to make jokes about Katrina.
Katrina...? Such a beautiful name for such a violent thing... Gotta understand nature...!

I am Xavier, 44 years old. I was born in Paris, France and live now in Canada.
I am married with a great wife. I have a wonderful dog too.
I work for the Canadian federal government. I love my job even if sometimes there is a certain amount of stress...
I think I have an open mind personality.
I have not many friends, but the ones I have are very important for me. I cant rely on them almost anytime as well as they can count on me too. If they did not knew that before, they know now...
I'm open to any good conversation, to any good laugh.
Although I really don't like British cuisine (is there such thing?), I love British humor.
Full nonsense humor could be my daily food....
Talking about food, I love the one from my country, France. I like a bunch of other specialities from other countries: Spain, Italy, Greece, Lebanon, Russia, China, Germany, Thailand, South America...
I can cook, just not from all this countries.
But ok, I'll stop here for now.
I'm getting hungry now!
