see the beauty, change the ugliness.
ABOUT ME
For the moment, I split my time between travelling, picking cherries in the summer, checking in and out of school (mostly cinema and french litterature, but thinking about philosphy, sculpture, feminist studies...), working some shitty jobs to survive the winter, leaving for some ridiculous adventure somewhere (i call that kind of plan going to burundi on a pedal boat; and I have a long love affair with them...), remembering how much I love my friends, coming back to Québec to drink a keg of cheap wine with them and change the world from our living room, actually trying to change the world, organizing social disobedience, dreaming of a gigantic coop where everything would be possible...
well... let's just say I'm up for pretty much anything as long as it keeps moving!
This winter the plan is to go back to montreal for a couple months to work as a bar manager at a film festival and then move to New Orleans, buy an old sailboat, fix it, sail it..... !!!!
PHILOSOPHY
Always live in the moment because what you experience right now will change the future and the past.
Surprise others in their routine, remind them that they are humans, alive, that the world is theirs!
(my friend calls this empathism as a philosophy)
So excessively smile at strangers in the street to make them chuckle, give a kleenex to the girl crying in the bathroom, open doors for old ladies, tell someone that they are handsome, that her dress makes her beautiful, give a big tip to a tired waiter, make a baby laugh...
Sometimes also confront people in their beliefs, remind them that the world is filled with beautiful people, but governed by another kind of folks, and that you need to pick the right side!
Tengo un corazon, grande para amar, fuerte para luchar!
