Life is a joke !

FYI : I may be angry in this post, sorry if I hurt your feelings !

Don't want to go back to work tomorrow. I have rehearsal problem to fix. I tried everything, and still no solution. I really don't know how to do. Anyway, I have to call one of the musicians today. I'll see what I can get from him.

Plus, next week may be a little bit sad because the british team is flying over to SXSW. I am so jealous !!!! I hope one day I will be able to go there to... (it's number 67 on my Day Zero project, so...)

I just hope that they will think about the documents they need to send me for Paris before getting in the plane ! 

This April week is gonna be awesome ! Can't wait !

But before that... we need to fix a little problem about Josh. 

He's not just a musician (he's also a great guy, I really like him !!), he's, sometimes, a model.

Last year, he made a shooting for Spring/Summer Collection of French brand Eleven Paris. And this year... Well...

I was walking in Versailles, saw a tee-shirt, and stopped. Couldn't say a word : 

The hand. This hand with the tattooed-moustache, and with LIFE tattooed too. This hand is, with no doubt, Josh's hand !! And, how many personnal picture does he have with this joke ???!! So many !

I took the picture and posted it on Facebook, and tagged him on it.

Later that night, chat with Jack, they were together. They couldn't believe it, Josh said he had no idea of that !

Yesterday, he commented the picture saying that the brand has to pay him to use his hand !

I don't know how it will end, but, I'm really curious, I want to know !!!
(I love that kind of story about copyrights, you know that ! 1 - 2 - 3)

And now, the part that may hurt your feelings.

Versailles is not just the city with the Palace. No. It's also a city with a stupid mentality.
Versailles is THE french city that wants a king back. C'mon people. After all the things we did ?? The Revolution and all the modernity after that, you want to try to put the latest heir on the throne ???!!
You don't have to love our french president, but it's good to see that for once, somebody is trying to change things.
Pass.

Because of the history of the city (kings and everything), Versailles is probably the most old fashioned and most catholic city in France. I don't care about it, everybody's free to believe in the God they want, I don't care if they go to the church 1 day/year or 10 times/week. The only thing, well, problem, that I have with those people is their hypocrite. 

They want to be the perfect people, but no. How can they judge the others and why should they have specific rights ?

For example.

Those families have usual, at least 5 children. Ok. One day, when I was a kid, my Mum needed to go to the City Hall for some papers, I think she needed a new card for the large family. Because she saw different prices, she asked the difference between hers and the others. Can you tell me why the guy (or woman, don't remember, I wasn't here) had to use a condescending voice to say "You cannot ask it, you ONLY have 4 kids"... (visibly, the condition for this card was 5... Sorry Mum, Game Over for you!)

Another one.

Few streets from home there's a church. There are street all around, creating some kind of round bound. Very small, the streets are not very large. Not very large, but a bus can drive here. But, not large enough to admit parking lot. Too bad, behind the church, a private primary school. I have nothing against private school. But against this one, yes, I do have a problem. This school is a private catholic primary school, so every morning, lunch and afternoon, the Mums are all coming with the big cars (because, even if they tell you that it will be better for everybody to walk or bike, they keep using their car for a short time between the house and the school)... And because all the Mums know themselves at this school, they all talk, blocking the traffic because there are no parking lot. Just one car, and you can have a traffic jam in the half of the city. 

And last.

My neighbours !

I live on the 2. The bad ones are 2b and 2t. I could talk about those who were leaving at the 10, if my memory is good...

So. 2b or 2t ???

Ok, 2b. Family of 6 people, 3 daughters, one son. I think that the eldest must be one year younger than me. The Dad was military, the Mum always had a part-time job.

4 years ago, the Dad killed himself, we never knew why. Of course, there was some kind of same on that family since. (Another stupid thing !). Anyway. She kept the house, the two cars, the housekeeper and the part-time job. Their house is adjoining ours. So we can hear some stuff in their house, and they can too. 

For example, when my big brother was still at home, we can be sure that the Dad was ringing at the door because my brother was making too much loud on Saturday night with friends or TV. Strangely, Dad always thought that they were making no noise. Explain me why we can say exactly when daughter n°2 was according her viola 5 minutes before stopping.... (she was playing around 90 minutes every day... She moved last year, with her viola...)... And strangely, Dad don't hear the parties organized by the son... I can hear them and recognize the songs they are singing because the garden is just under my window... 

And THE war is my Mum's Bamboo. I told you the house were adjoining, ours have the sun all day long because we have the good exposition. The 2b house doesn't have a lot of sun. So, the Mum found the explanation : My Mum's bamboos are stealing the sun from her garden. It's the same with a tree in another neighbour's garden (who lives across the street...) and the little building next our houses. Solution, I think that she should ask to the people who are living in the small building, if she can destroy it to have more sun...

Bamboos is not the only problem. The other problem is parking lot. My neighbourhood only has ancient houses built around 1900 when people were not using cars. So, just a few has garage. There are around 20 houses in my street, 10 must have a garage, and I think that there are 15 parking lot in the street. Problem is, every family have a least 2 cars (some have more... in a second you will meet 2t !!) so, every day, everybody has the same problem : where can I park my car.

It will be easy to say : you have a garage, put your car in the garage. Excuse of 2b : If I put my car in the garage, I have to open the gate. ... And ? I think that you also need to open the gate before entering in your house, so, what's the problem ???

So yes, for this 2b family : 2 cars, 2 parking lot. Game Over for us.

We do have a garage, and two cars. Our garage is pretty bad, well, the door was almost broken and we waited for the guys during a year. Now the door is fixed, we can put one car in the garage (just one because it's a small one...)

And now, let me talk about 2t : the HYPOCRITE family.

The Dad must be around 35 (never met him...), the Mum, maybe around 30. And already 5 children, maybe 6, I'm not sure. Little house with garden and garage (where you can easily put a car !). The Mum doesn't work, the Dad works at the City Hall.

Together they have what we call the catholic bus. I know, it's not very nice, but, remember, I told you I may hurt your feelings ! So, a big car with around 8 or 9 seats. Plus, another one, and a SMART one and a scooter, those with two wheels. 

The scooter never moved from the parking lot since they moved in in September. The Smart is always outside, so are the two others (ok, for their bus, I think it's too big for the garage)

First, I'd like to know WHY they need so many cars : the children are all under 10, maybe 11. 

The surprise was this morning. Another neighbour, the lady who lives at the number 3 (the one with the tree...)... Well, she knows everything about everybody in our street, it's really funny to speak with her. So, she called at home this morning to tell us what she just discovered. She lives in front of 2t. And, this morning, back from the Sunday Market, she realized that somebody fixed a metallic parking ark. ... Just in front of the 2t. 

That mean, that they privatise one parking lot in the street. WTF ?

She told us that 2t Dad put a badge for the registered disabled ex-serviceman... The thing is that this badge is in just one car. If he wants to be ok with everybody, he has to put this badge in every car... 

Thing number 2 : if he is a disabled ex-serviceman, how can he drive so many cars and a scooter ?

Finally, she (lady n°3) saw him at the market this morning, he was giving some tracts because there are some elections soon in Versailles, she told us "Ex-serviceman ??? Well, he was in a very good shape for a disable man !"
He works for the city hall, and so, we're pretty sure that he used that power to do that. We don't accept that !

There is a meeting of the neighbourhood. Don't know why but it may be really funny.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but, I'm tired of seeing and hearing those "good" people/family/housewives teaching to the other how to live, and see how hypocrites they can be. Always the same. 

Now, time to think about tonight and tomorrow !
