Little Almond

I think sometimes when you squint your eyes, you see better, see farther, see sharper. SOme people always have squinted eyes, like little almonds. They must see pretty well indeed!

La veille du Jour de l'an
New Year's Eve

C'était un an plutôt à vraiment dire adieu! Pas au revoir, parce qu'on voulait pas le revoir. Si l'on compte la hausse des prix, la valeur diminuant de l'euro, les impôts et les contraventions, le salaire statique-- ce n'était pas de fun.

It was a year we really wanted to say farewell to, not just goodbye; but goodbye forever, may it never come back! If you count the rise in prices, the diminishing value of the euro, taxes and parking tickets, and a non rising salary, it was not much fun!







donc, ADIEU ANNEE!
GOO BYE!


Wee, zee French wee hav a word for zat, it says 'MERDE!' Wee also have an uzzer word, but for polite, I do not say eet! Eet has to do wizz behind.








Mais quand même il y avaient certaines bénéfices.
S
i on est en chômage on paie moins d'impôts. Si on n'a pas de voiture, on aura pas des contraventions. Si on a pas une maison on paie pas les réparations. Si on achète pas des vêtements on paie pas les TVAs. Mais alors, quelle vie???

But there are certain advantages. If you have no job you pay no taxes. If you have no car, you get no parking tickets. If you have no house; you don't have to pay repairs. If you don't buy clothes, you don't pay TVA. But what a life????












Il faut donc prendre des vacances plus souvent, et acheter des belles robes, manger aux meilleurs restaurants et laissez un bon pourboire, merde, il faut vivre!

So you should take vacations more often and shop around for beautiful clothes, eat in the best restaurants and leave a good tip. Shit, you gotta live!










T'as raison, la vie est trop courte pour boire de mauvais vins! Il faut bien déguster la vie, aller partout--aux petits villages de l'Inde, aux tribus perdus en Mongolie, monter les chameaux de Timbuctu ou les éléphants à Agra.

You're right, life is too short to drink bad wine! You have to taste all of life and go everywhere, the little villages of India, to the lost tribes in Mongolia, ride the camels in Timbuktu or the elephants in Agra.
