I don't know if it is just the beat or the words but I do like it

Ainsi va la brochure:

"Au large, il existe cette île, source de mille lumières plus flamboyantes les unes que les autres. Des rayons arc en ciel de lumière enchantrice et salvatrice en émanent. Son aura est douce et apaisante. Son rayonnement à la fois source de plaisir et de séduction. Lorsque l'on embarque pour l'île, on embarque les yeux fermés et le coeur ouvert. 

Sur la frêle embarcation qui y mène, on se sent aussi fort que Jack Dawson sur la proue du Titanic. Le vent dans les cheveux, le soleil sur le visage, la ligne d'horizon loin à l'infini paisiblement calée derrière la jonction entre le ciel bleu azur et la mer bleue turquoise. 

L''île attire toutes les âmes. Sans préférence, sans distinction. Tous les rêves et toutes les vies y sont permis. Il est même conseillé d'explorer, de vivre, de rêver, d'imaginer à loisirs. Cette île recèle des trésors de promesses et d'espoirs. Plus qu'il n'en faut pour toute une vie."

Alors, on se laisse porter, et dans le creux de son coeur, puis dans le creux de sa tête, puis dans son corps tout entier, on se laisse prendre au jeu de la brochure, et on rêve, on imagine, on formule des attentes sans même s'en rendre compte. Puis ces attentes grandissent toutes seules, nourries par l'optimisme débordant du voyage vers l'île. 

La seule chose que la brochure ne mentionne pas, c'est le doux nom de l'île vers laquelle on vogue le coeur léger et plein d'attentes: 

L'Ile de la Déception. (Forcément, ce n'est dit qu'en caractères de taille 4, en quatrième de couverture.)

Alors une fois arrivé sur l'île, c'est là qu'on revient sur terre. 

- Le café que l'on fait n'est jamais aussi bien dosé que celui que l'on pensait boire.

- Les journées que l'on passe ne sont jamais celles que l'on avait programmées.

- Les gâteaux que l'on enfourne ne ressemblent en rien à ceux que l'on avait imaginés avec la recette.

- Les nuits ne sont jamais aussi reposantes que celles que l'on avait espérées.

- Les chaussures que l'on porte jamais aussi confortables que celles qu'on avait rêvées pour nos pieds.

- Les relations humaines jamais aussi belles que celles que l'on avait fabriquées dans notre petit coeur.

C'est pourquoi, moi, j'ai renoncé officiellement à m'embarquer pour un nouveau voyage vers l'île de la déception: ne pas se formuler d'attentes est la meilleure voie possible pour ne pas être déçue.... "Prendre ce qui vient ", Confucius l'a dit bien avant moi.... Y'a plus qu'à;) 

Show us your favorite pair of jeans.

Oooh. I would, but my favourite jeans are exactly that becase I've worn them in to such an extent that there are some holes. And the holes are getting bigger. So big that I can't wear the jeans outside anymore, let alone post pics of myself in them here.

This is, after all, a family blog.

But trust me, they are comfortable.

If you could raise awareness about one cause, what would it be?

 

 

Oh this one's a no brainer: equal rights - specifically LGBT rights. 
Which is why the HRC gets my money and my time (when I have any of either).

Just so you all know I think my Girl is the best ever, she is hot, smart, caring and just damn sexy !!!

OK..so I said I have taken up knitting and I think I am doing OK, even though I can only do one stitch.
But I was flipping through the pages of the book that I got to teach me and in the back they have a starting project.

Get this it is a scarf and should only take me three hours...yeah right..I have been knitting all weekend and all night and it wouldn't even cover a dogs neck yet alone a human..

This must be the timing for those who have been knitting forever either that or I am a sad sad knitter...

so...as many of you know i've decided to take my anger and make something constructive with it. i no longer want to argue with people about petty shit it's just a waste of time. i have more important things in my life to worry about. than stupid insignificant drama count me out! now don't get me wrong i know and i was thinking today if i got rid of my rebellious side and my very witty and smart ass comments i wouldn't be me, and if i didn't stand up for myself i would not be me either. i would lose my as many call it spunk...i guess it makes me special in some way, i will keep my dignity never settle for anything that dose not reflect who i am, and what i believe in life. so with that said i thought today i just need moderation right? i will pick and choose my battles and trust me the battles  i do decide to engage in will be worth it. this is my promise to myself and more so my obligation to the people i want to fight for, in my community, people who are in need, who want help and are denied it by w/e unjustified reason. i will try my hardest to stand up for human rights. because without compassion we are just the animal shell we claim to be. here's to 2009.2010,2011,2012 and forever!!
JAE
until the day i die.
