Sunday, Doing the Tourist Thing :-)

Even though I was still hung over and I passed out on Yan.B et Gab's couch, the suggestion came up to join some friends who wanted to visit the Eiffel Tower. Finally I'll get to go up and enjoy the view.

Gab and I went to join Val and Léa who were already there. However, once I got there they decided not to go up the tower but to enjoy the view from ground level. I took a few photos (Which will be loaded as soon as my website is back online.) of the Eiffel Tower upclose and of the gang.

Later on we decided to go to Montmatre and see the SacreCoeur eglise. It was late in the evening when we finally arrived there but the view of Paris at night was amazing.

Then we went to a restaurant which Val recommended. The evening ended nicely with good memories and good company.



Bisou, A+

Another Crazy Night in Paris

Wow, What a fun filled night dans le Marais chez Gab et Yan.B!!!! Saturday morning started off quietly for me as I got to sleep in for the first time since I came back from London. On Friday night I took the bike and went over to Yan's & gab's place to eat, chat and have a drink. Well Sacha, Val and Gab were there with Matt et Celine. It turns out to be alot of fun, where we joked around and had a glass of wine.

Well, Saturday turned out to be like Friday but times 100 more fun!!!!!!!! There ended up being at least 15 people coming over for dinner. The supper was prepared by VAl et Frank, Lia et la petite Jess. We had pesto spaggetti, with fried chicken breasts, salade and of course lots of Wine ;-)

Then the real fun began with a drinking game called "Signs". Everyone gathered around in the living room and Saad and Gab showed us the rules. How you play the game is like this: you are seated and each member of the group has to choose a sign. It's kinda like sherraids but with alcohol! For example Gab chose a stupid looking hand signal, it looked like a tribal dance, lol. Saad chose wiping his finger under nose and Emma chose a spanking gesture, as if she's spanking a child on her lap. I chose the "dirt off your should" move from the Jigger man, Jay-Z. So the games starts with everybody clapping their hands on their laps and then 1 person at a time starts off by doing their own sign and then they pick the sign of someone else and copy that action. If your sign gets picked then you have to do your sign and then clap your lap and then do the sign of somebody else. So it goes on from there, you can pick anybody's sign including the person who picked yours in the first place. Now a person will have to take a shoot if they make a mistake in anyway. Trust me, it's very easy to mess that up, especially after a couple of drinks. Well, needless to say, some people had a harder time with it than others. Lobster, Lia, Emma and I seemed to be gunning for one another but in the end we all did pretty well.... except till when they decided to add sounds to go with the signs. This is where at one point everybody was trying to get me. I think it was because they loved my sign so much, I did a MJ in "Thriller" move where I gabbed my hugh croche and said "Oh Mama", LOL. So at that point I was doing the correct signs but not the correct sound, LOL. For some reason I had "Kaboom" stuck in my head, and resulting in me drinking 5 huge shoots in a row!!!!!!

Wow, at some point after that Gab broke the glass in his bathroom and everybody else was tipsy, wow it was alot of fun. Lobster and I were dancing and then after that, I don't remember, I passed out on Yan B's couch, I don't even remember anybody leaving!

Thanks everybody for a fun filled evening. Next time, I'll just do better in our little game ;-)

August Thus Far...

The month of August is coming close to ending, and it has not been very summerlike thus far this month. It really is disappointing that it has rarely been sunny, most rainy and at night very chilly to the point that the windows need to be closed. Not very pleasant at all for the month of Ausgust. Well there have been alot of highlights, I got to travel alot of see some people I haven't seen in a while and solidfy new relationships. I got my sweet Motorcycle and I am getting used to riding this powerful machine, I love it. Yes, I've been taking it easy of late but I my alot of cool and special people around to keep thing fun.





I'm heading home now from a long day at work, Aller, A+

Update on my FreeBox

I spoke to a Freebox technical support representative and he said that my line has now been setup. The cables has been sucessfully connected and I should receive the actual Freebox receiver demain!!!!

Wow after more than 11 weeks of waiting for this to be setup and installed, the day is finally coming where I may be able to use it!!!! Now all I need to do is get a TV, LOL.

A Nice Weekend in London, Part 2

Yes, London was a nice experience indeed. I learned a few english terms like for example, when a person wants to go and take the train/metro, an Englishman would say "I'm going to the tube". Yup, tube is the metro, and as I told Mika, "tube" in North America refers to watching TV or the TV. She then told me that I'll need 4 quit to take the tube. I was like excuse me??? Then she told me that "quit" in English means 1 english pound. You guys should have seen my face. Then she went on to say 100 pounds she refered to "1 ground"!!!! Yes, it's true, I'm not maiking this up. Hehe I love the English ;-)

Saturday night we met with Yacine, Maja and Saeed. Very cool people, in fact Yacine used to live in Paris and he'll be coming here soon, so you all will get to met him. He enjoys a good party and likes to dance, let loose and the ladies like him alot.

We were going to go to Astor's but then we decided to go to "Sin" instead located next to the central point. This an exclusive place and in hasa nice vibe. there are 5 rooms where different genre of music is playing. However, I was not impressed with the music in the hip hop/ r n b room. The room itself was beautiful, but the DJ sucked. So we hung out in the house room and the music there kicked ass, very good indeed, everybody had a good time. There was also mention of a club called Fabric by my friends here in Paris, but our group was not interested in going there this time around, especially Mika. It is supposed to be one of the biggest clubs in the world, holding thousands of people. But if you are a person who does not like huge crowds, then this isn't the place for you.

I took the photo of Princess Di, the reason is when I saw it, she looks so beautiful and I felt very sad inside that she is no longer with us. Before her death she was the most famous woman in the world and they are holding an exhibition in London of photographs taken of her. Unfortunately I did not get to visit the display of her photos, this was one of the things I wanted to do the most. Hopefully I will get a chance to the next time I go back to London.

Well this is the quick resume of my first trip to London since I was like 15 years old. I enjoyed my time there and I'll be visiting London often enough, since it's so easy to get there from Paris.

Cheers :-)

President Brush, You Need to Read This:

"I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be." - Thomas Jefferson

FYI: Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), U.S. president. Quote from a Letter, date: June 12, 1815

Here Mr. Brush, as you can see, is a quote from one of the forefathers of the Once Great United States and he was one of it's greatest Presidents. He was the 3rd President of the U.S. and he was a powerful advocate of liberty. Being leader, he reduced taxes and reduced the national debt by a third. While doing all this even also expanded the US territory by acquiring Louisiana and also slashed military expenditures. He also was an advocate for non voilent solutions and tried to avoid war, especially with the French.

I think that you need to follow the path in which past leaders have shown you like Mr. Thomas Jefferson. Where peace and the well being of the citizens of the Unites States is your primary objective and not that of your family's personal objectives to make yourselves even more rich off of the suffering of others.

Thought of the day

By all means enjoy fellowship and cooperation with others, yet always do so as your own person. Don't compromise the immense, unique value of who you are just so you can become lost in the crowd.

... The point here is BE YOURSELF!!!! :)

A nice Weekend in London, Part 1

I started writing this post on Monday morning, unfortunately I did not get to publish this until today, so please keep this in mind as your reading it. This is part one on my trip to London.

It's Monday and I'm back at my job in Paris. It was but only a few hours ago that my feet were of British soil, then I got on the EuroStar train and it was that simple. I enjoy it very much when I travel this way. No complications or waiting in long lines or in waiting rooms like in airports like CDG in Paris.

Unfortunately as I was there, it rained most of the time, which really sucks when it's the middle of August. I did see the London Bridge but there were a few other places I wanted to see but didn't get the chance. I will make up for it in the near future. I found London to be a fairly nice place and believe it or not, it has a lot of similarities to Paris. I get a similar "feeling" as I walk around the buildings. However the buildings in the downtown area seem newer than those found in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th arrondissements but not as new as in La Defence.

Now to explain the photo on top, I spotted this sign in a Nepalean restaurant called Nangelo. I ate there with Mika on Friday night after I arrived in London. The restaurant had an ambient feel to it and the staff was extremely friendly. This being said, when I saw the sign, I thought to myself; "no wonder they are being so friendly, because if the restaurant burns down, they will be safely outside while the rest of us burns... since they are the only ones who can use the Fire Exit." Haha, too funny!


Just as a reminder more to come (Part 2) on London in an upcoming blog post!

Thought of the Day

In control

Whenever you feel yourself getting anxious or frustrated by something that's beyond your control, stop and take a fresh look around. There's something you can do, right then and there, that will make a positive difference in the world.

Can you see them?

Life's most valuable opportunities are completely invisible to people who seek instant gratification. Those opportunities wait patiently for someone who is persistent enough and motivated enough to give them the time and devotion they deserve.

Spending the Weekend in London

Yes ladies and Gents, I'm going to London this weekend. I'm taking the super train that goes directly from France to England via an underwater tunnel built several years ago to connect the 2 great Paris and London together. It'll take only under 3 hours as when before the tunnel was built, you either had to fly and take a boat across which would take hours to sail across. I will be taking alot of photos so I'll see you all next week. No, I won't be drinking any Guiness because I don't like beer, so therefore it's totally out of the question. Have a great weekend!

A Short post

Hi everybody, Listen I did not have any time to update my blog today as I wanted to. However I'll let you all know how the last couple of days has been demain, promise. A quick update: Yes I'm fine and I am really enjoying the bike. I'll tell you all about it demain! Right now, I'm going home, finished work, perhaps I'll go to the gym, but I'm exhausted so we'll see once I get home, laters!!!!!!!

What a great start to a new week in Paris

Yes I just came back from Mount-Real and I'm still exhausted from jet lag but I have fantastic news.... I just picked up my new toy!! I'll use the word machine instead because this is no toy, I just picked up my motorcycle, a 2001 Suzuki TL 1000R!!! Yes it's a "bad boy" machine indee.It rides very wel especiallyl considering when I got it, rain started to pour down and the sky got dark. It was an interesting experience riding it from the town name Plaisir where I bought it, back all the way to Paris. It was long for my first ride on the bike, even a bit scary with the large pools of water building up on the highway but VERY exciting!!!! I love this bike and you'll for sure see me riding all over town as it's destinct colours cannot be misesd. Photos are coming very soon.



AS YES, I promise that I'll be very safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm Back from MTL, I love my Original Home Town

YES, I'm back from a very quick visit (too quick actually) to my birth place, Montreal, Quebec, Canada!!! It was nice to see my parents again, Brad and Jonno (my old roommate). Unfortunately I did not get to see everybody I wanted, actually it was so quick, I barely got to see anybody :-(

I did get to see Irina, who I haven't seen in a long, long time, since way before I left for Paris. We caught up and it was fun to talk about old times. I also got to speak Briefly to Yannich Hebert!!!! Yes sir, he is a great guy, and he is working on putting himself right where he wants to be. Things are going well so give him a couple more months and we'll all be able to see just how sucessful he's become. Brad, thanks for again being very loyal and helpful while I'm here in Paris, luv you dude.

Everybody else, I'm sorry we did not get to catch up more as I was only there technically for a few days.

Congrats to my parents who just sold the house, the house in which I grew up in (Over 20 years living in that house)! We (my Mom, Dad, Sister and me) have had alot of memories together there and now since my Sis and I and moved away, they will move back to Jamaica and retire on the beach!

Yes, I'm Back MTL!!!!!

Well for a short while anyway, yes I'm back in Mtl for the weekend. I got to take care of some unfinished business, basically for my car. I will take advantage to see those that I did not get to see for my B-day and just enjoy MTL in the summer time. Be ready guys and girls, this weekend will be wild!!!! And it is confirmed, as I arrive back in Paris on Monday, I'll be picking up my new "toy"!!! Remember in the previous post I talked about getting my new "toy", well again, here's a HINT.

Paris have a great weekend!!! See you on Monday. :-D

This Week Looks Great !

It looks like it's going to be a great and busy week. Yesterday was busy at work, alot of emails to write and some surpises along the way. Today work has been ok and I still have alot of emails to write but at least I got a chance to update my blog. Demain is an important day as I hope to pick up my new motorcycle before I leave for montreal on Thrusday morning! Yup I'm a busy bee and this week will be very interesting indeed.

Oh yes, I did in fact say that I'm getting a motorcycle and that I am going to MONT-REAL on Thursday, however it's a short stay, I'm returning back to Paris on Sunday!

Started Great, Ended Quietly

It turned out to be a bit of a disappointing weekend in the end but Friday night started off really well. Lobster and I met at the gym (unfortunately I because I went to the gym, I did not get a chance to meet Dider et Marc for a game of pool, but next time Dider, you and me!), and we had a good workout then we passed by my place for a quick tour. We then headed to a nice little restaurant called les Philosophes dans le marais where we met Gab, Yan B, Mat, Sheila, Emilie, Daniel and Saphie who were already finishing their meals. After a few more bottles of wine, we all headed to the famous Cafe OZ. I'll will be honest, I'm not a big fan of the place but when I get there, it's usually a good time, and this time was no exception. Alexis, Oliver, Sebfo and Sacha joined us. It was a good night of drinking and drama. Oh yes, it was quite a Friday night.

Saturday morning I got up early in order to go and take Jessica's kittens to the Vet because she went to Italy to see her family for the weekend. Yes, I loved it here, you can go to any country in europe and it's only a maximum 3 hours away by plane. Anyway, I have to say Jess that your kittens are few cute. After that it was a chill Saturday, I went to Gab and Yan B's new appartment in le marais. It's a very nice and hugh place guys, congrats, I'm certain I'll be passing out on that leather sofa very often indeed ;-)

There was alot of people who came by to check out their new place and then we went downstairs to the American breakfast restaurant where you can eat scrambled eggs, pancakes and real bacon!!! Yup it was great!

Saturday night ended up being very chill as some plans with Gab fell through. Sunday was also quiet but I did go to the gym and I did some laundry. I also had a visit from Yan B. and Nook, after that the weekend ended nicely and quietly.
