Online check-up in a savage e-garden.


Update Jan. 2014


I do understand in the privacy sphere, when one meets another, unknown from each others, smartphones help the screen check behind. Well, please yourself, as said in the most read post of this blog, post on facebook and the damned privacy chain message.

So even if out of white or black, or simply put a clear cut, I did put many colors under different periods over the past 15 years, many stuff on the internet. and well so be it. 

So be it, 'cause information without context is uncomplete. 


I do agree about getting visibility, getting noticed, still trying to do it the smart way rather than taking the easy of saying things belonging to the extremes of a difformed mirror the web is now giving us. Internet is the freedom of discovery, shortcuts to many interests, but won't see it only in its common negative side I am told here and there. Just a so be it, and well.


I wasn't always like this, and did go too far using what was offered freely to get information on a person I went out with, and totally crazy about five years ago. Brain and heart, my heart will always cut the deal, so just putting some frames in. 


Ever since, I am sticking to this e-redline, get to know only what others want to share with you, especially in the intimate, respectful world of relationship, as for other fields, I don't really care and find it normal to dig down. Yet, a matter of respect to the person in front, I don't fancy knowing before, I do fancy being surprises by what life offers. I live to that, I live to love and I love the unexpected in this sphere that makes me feel good, that makes me feel awful. And? Well, nothing else matters, I don't care and keep this old world deeply inside. 


In this personal sphere, I don't feel the urge to plan, I believe I am clever enough, and reacting the way I am is the best answer I've got at the time.


Truly, madly, deeply


To conclude, from e-reputation to e-repudiation, there is a small step in lower case that can take us to the extreme. I don't believe in it, I don't believe in pity when it is wrongly addressed, so be simply proud of yourself, live the unexpected.


Initial Post Dec. 2013:


Disconnect - 2013 Trailer

For me, the movie of 2013,as it does not focus on beautiful aesthetical  success and hasn't been recognized as such, I believe, in the box office.

"The Social Network" made an instant hit 'cause it is a success story and we love that, don't have to think.

Yet, to have success, you have to not be afraid of failing, again, and again, and again. I take it this way: Failure is one hell of a motivator for the optimistic, and one if not the best learning as to identify why it went this way. 

Take the other mirror: narrow, most of all successes made us avoid understanding the whole, focusing on the details that some said count. Look at capitalism, redefining the rules every once in a while to still get "success" in frame... Zoom in, zoom out, keep the balance in mind.

So, never stop failing, never stop learning.  "Disconnect" shows the extreme failure of an instant short term world we are living in. 

Simply human, living in a perfect world, would be so boring, skid at the first exit.

This damned faked privacy chain letter on Facebook, again...


Falling up again on some facebook news on privacy (fake or real, see link news.cnet.com), if required, would have to get mine in a different way:

"Upon my profiles on facebook, you can use, tamper, adapt, delete, create anything from what's in it, I simply don't care. I am standing by my choices in life, these are certainly not starting from things I posted, aware of it, on facebook, and will certainly not end here." and well, they've got to make some money somewhere, given it's really a hot balloon made of not that much more than what common sense would say."

Well, given you have landed here, have a look around. Try this one, or this one. As a writer, I am left in the confusion of being or telling, and forget...euh... giving hence digital won't grasp much more of the nonsense my mind creates at every minutes of every secondes.

"A widely shared status update on Facebook claims you need to post a disclaimer to keep the site from ripping off your data. Too bad it's completely bogus. Read this article by Elinor Mills on CNET News.

Here's the text of that bogus privacy notice circulating on Facebook:

'cause AND is in my DNA



Well, had a glimpse to it as i found a joyful play of words, in the title from the first book in english I wrote (certainly not the first one to do it), and then discovered this article and thought of possible perspectives linking humans to machine and vice versa.
Scientists at Harvard University have shown that a single DNA molecule can be written 643 KB of data, which means that one cubic millimeter of DNA can store 5.5 petabit, or about 70 billion books, and four grams of DNA may contain all the...

keep banging walls


One of my favorite song from Asian Dub Foundation, amongst many others, and for personnal reasons as well, obviously :) . Well, there is a milky way to bang them, still a basic spirit of adventure, no?

World could be simpler if interested in what's behind, a stubborn generality, I do understand, still something making me jump here and there. Just from time to time taking another perspective, always liking that.

A song directly related to my latest photo-contest, which, to the light of this song and now, I would rename "looking further". Some interesting other pictures in the contest, well few very artificial I would dare to say, reason why I just chose to put on Sepia mode, not even working further the contrast. Because what's is natural is simply beautiful.

Votes are closing end of the week, so won't bother you, won't even see who is voting for it...

Rendez-vous en terrain connu


Partir de loin pour arriver plus près. Combien de livres descendus au fur des mesures des transports. Ce que j'apprécie: chaque auteur, ou presque, a son style particulier. Reste à se laisser porter par ces manèges enchantés et construire son cinémascope en réel.

Entre mes lignes, les leurs, les vôtres, le joyeux panorama qui en ressort, même l'objectif si près de la scène.

Bon, après, je dois dire j'ai des lunettes, ça aide à voir à quatre yeux. Et là, je suis blondinet à houppette depuis hier et ma danse avec Edouard aux mains d'argent, mon lien avec Tintin est d'autant plus juste aujourd´hui.

Pour le jeu de mot du titre, c'est facile, je sais, mais m'est sorti de la tête en plein dans la gare de l'Est. et le sera.

Le manque de sommeil rend les visions d'autant plus vivaces et fugaces. Miam.

Tonight and to other pieces

Tonight, Tonight - Hard-fi

So far this week, went to follow up the contest on Oris with the question mark: What does inspire you, little F? People, F2F, books, sounds, lights, musics, arts, colours and well stressing it further music. Since I've learned English, I found another rythm of speech, in Spanish more singing syllabus, in German, the delicatessen of the language up in Hamburg, flowing smoothly.

And it's only a picture, so only grabbing part of the whole, one of the reason why a book is only slightly present on the bottom right. The interest is as well outside the frame. And on the bottom left, the cover from "A million little pieces" - James Frey, scintillating through the universe of books.

Chosen extract:

"The Young Man came to the Old Man seeking counsel.

I broke something, Old Man.
How badly is it broken?
It’s in a million little pieces.
I’m afraid I can’t help you.
Why?
There’s nothing you can do.
Why?
It can’t be fixed.
Why?
It’s broken beyond repair. It’s in a million little pieces."


It's all that, it's that and something else, it's whatever you feel like riding right now.

Just do it

Remember two fantastic concerts from the chemical brothers, at the V Festival, and at Glastonbury, the last concert before everybody leaving to their home soils, and que manera de hacer este despedida. Ils sont magnifiques, animated screen everywhere, lights and percussions and the delicate sound of rythms bringing you further in levitation.

Just push the button, and whatever you feel.

And definitely another music I enjoy when I an driving, lovin' it:

El amor en los tiempos de los tres fantasticos

...

Nothing else matters - Version from Apocalyptica

En français, español vale un tipo de español and in english. 

Bonsoir,

A mon tour de rentrer dans un contest, j'aime les montres, encore plus que les femmes ou que les livres, euh quoique pour les livres... (c'est une blague, vais pas tirer un classement non plus).

Donc voilà, si vous avez un compte facebook quelconque quelcompte, je vous remercie de voter pour ma photo, si ça vous va, bon, pourrait nécessiter un peu plus de travail sur les contrastes ou du cadrage d'après des commentaires que je reçois, mais bon c'est mon côté bénin amateur dans un paysage nature morte des émotions belles et figées.

Et puis voilà, l'univers des manufactures horlogères, de la technique cinématiqué dans une passion qui affiche le temps qui passe,

Muy buenas,

Me gusta mucho relojes, mas que mujeres o que los libros, o vale no se por los libros. (es una broma, tonta, pero como yo.)

Entonces, si tienen un cuenta facebook, agradeceria tener un vote por mi fotographia, y ya esta. Por mi lado, me gusta mucho este universo de los relojes.


Por lo menos. espero un sonreir a este mensaje en español escribido muy rapido.

Good afternoon,

I hope , more or less, more than less, than you're all in good form reading this post. From my side, my path led me to a photo contest, in a world of watches, a passion that i enjoy more than women or books, ok i don't know for books (sarcasm hyphens, no rankings whatsoever)

So, if you ve got a facebook account, i would be grateful if you could vote for my entry.



Y gracias a Gabriel Garcia-Marquez por el asunto de este mensaje.

Well, another look at it.

See on Scoop.it - Contemporary fiction

Dans les majorités des articles des journaux sur lesquelles mes yeux se posent comme ça, ma première réaction est "je m'en fous un peu quand même"

et puis il y a des pépites intéressantes. J'apprécie à sa juste mesure cet article. Bref, je suis peut-être pas si vieux jeu que ça, même si comme d'habitude, je construis mon savoir-être sur les différentes perspectives que l'un comme l'autre dans la symbiose du moment, pas plus de questionnements. Bref je ne vais pas dire que cela me surprend, mais bonne idée Madame Gallop.

"Cindy Gallop est à l'origine du site Make love not porn. Tout est parti d'un constat. Cette Anglaise de 52 ans couche souvent avec des hommes plus jeunes qu'elle, dans la vingtaine, qui font l'amour, selon elle, comme dans les films pornos.

Sleeping beauty

For 30 years, I nurtured the lady inside. And coming back to it, discovering this beautiful cream that makes my skin, well the pockets under my eyes, disappears. kind of a placebo effet perhaps, but taking it, I think it is working, hence this post. Well, not about the cream in itself, a kind of a nose bleeding green jello, but about the effect.

No shame, and it happens, so a little bit about one ad for today. Because, well, I worth it and love having a sweet and soft skin with no wrinkles, as these appeared lately.



As for the anecdote, did enjoy the 3 women watching me put some hydrating cream, another one, as I went out of the swimming pool last week.

Using it here and then, not that regularly, but kind of continuing the discussion with the saleswomen about which shirt and tie is going with a very nice costume, or not. I rely on experts,

Call me Flo.

Oui, et alors???

See on Scoop.it - Contemporary fiction Des points de vue de Rue 89 sur l'"ogre" Google qui investit à renfort le milieu artistique.

Bref, oui et alors. Perso, je suis pour voir la pub du côté bénéfique aussi, Paris est encore reconnue comme capitale culturelle, ici par Google, donc bon, tant mieux:

"Histoire, musée, langues : le géant du Web accueille sur ses serveurs une part croissante du patrimoine culturel de l'humanité. Pas juste une affaire d'image."

Oui, et alors?

Pour Eloris



One vote if you like, doesn't take long. The title of the picture: "Between the lines" - Florent Mathieu - to reflect on the guidelines for this contest from Oris: "Submit us an artistic photo that illustrates the way arts, musique and literature breathes in you and your personal inspiration.

"Why should your friends vote for you?

By picking and supporting the “winner”, they too, have the chance to win a trip to BaselWorld 2013 too. Sign up for MyOris membership now and take part in the “Pick the Winner” contest. Sign up to MyOris here."


Un concours photo sous les lignes données par le concours Oris: "Envoyez-nous une photo artistique qui illustre la manière dont l’art, la musique et la littérature vous inspirent et votre interprétation personnelle du monde Oris de la culture.*"

Un vote, si vous aimez. J'ai placé cette oeuvre d'art à mon poignet dans un univers bien à elle et à moi. Le titre: "Entre les lignes" donc des pages qui volent, un mur gruyère, et la musique qui imprime les rythmes de lecture et d'écriture à chaque tic tic tic de tac.

So a universe for this see-through watch in front of a wall made of holes, hence opening up to the whole, and immersed with books that made my eyes wonder in surprise between the lines. The editorial line: See-through. Music giving the staccato rythm, Perspectives of thinking around, and writing to the tic tac from the watch perspective to the keyboard.

Well yes a photo as a photo might be nice, a photo reaching other dimensions here, well perhaps. Series of books used for this pictures, yes really enjoyed reading them. 

La fabrique des illusions - Palladio - Jonathan Dee
Le jardinier d'Otchakov - Andreï Kourkov
Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keyes
The final testament of the holy bible - James Frey
Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
Le jeu de l'ange  - Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Une vie française - Jean-Paul Dubois
Le livre du rire et de l'oubli - Milan Kundera
Limonov - Emmanuel Carrère
A million little pieces - James Frey
Le voyage de Théo - Catherine Clément

Histoire Argentine - Rodrigo Frèsan
Le monde de Sophie - Jostein Gaarder
Le livre des brèves amours éternelles - Andreï Makine

And an instrument from a trip in Cambodia, some CDs, some blank and one famous one from Georges Brassens and a very nice motto (Le temps ne fait rien à l'affaire), a see-through watch, and my surroundings.

Hats Off

Que ce soit Google, maintenant, ou Microsoft dans les années 90-2000, ils ont beau être tout puissant, on peut haïr leurs contrôles sur tout les nouveaux développements, mais bon ils sont utiles et savent faire des petites attentions ou nous re-hooker avec des fixs, des nouvelles possibilités et autres. Là, juste cette petite touche m'a fait sourire, pari gagné.




Donc bon après être un PC-Man, d'ailleurs toujours PC-addict rapport à l'utile et au no problem  pour ouvrir presque n'importe quel fichier sur cette plateforme, je suis un google-man. Enfin d'ailleurs depuis plus longtemps que 1999... De ces petits trucs qu'on aime haïr, ou qu'on aime tout simplement. :)

Tell me one of your weaknesses

nice scottish accent that reminds me of the time when not speaking even remotely fluent londonian english, I arrived to Glasgow and tried to understand the clerk handing me the key of the car. At the time, good old automatism like in the airport: Yes, Yes, Yes, euh No..

And so this splendid piece of action within a job search. Well, I am a big fan of many Ewan Mc Gregor's movie and this one high in my mind with all the attention it drew at the time:

Up to modern beethoven


A music deep to my heart. the most pleasant pause i can share, 12 minutes of pure delicacy. That reminds me now and then of such beautiful classical ballad, from beethoven to mozart. it is how I do define beautiful, ok from my view, this special feeling I got when reading, when listening, when discovering, when sharing impressions.

Do love this version very much, with the little talk at the beginning. Well would change the music of my MP3 player, but lost the cable a long time ago. an excuse, or just something aside.

Gut Feelings

Know them, Ignore them, one statement once came out loud: 80% of them are realistically true. We can choose to be overwhelmed by the social inside around, the outside structure filtering them and possibly reducing them all, or you can choose to act, if not possible, to write them down, and come back to give thoughts on them.

Why? some are good, some are bad, the most true thing is that they deserve to be given more attention.
Why? because you don t know from where they are coming.
Why? because you haven t had time first to think about them.
Why? because they are some lights in any tunnel, being a lamp or the outside, at this stage you don t know.
Why? because they are ignoring the global mind frame put on thoughts, they might not even be spoken words, or written one.
Why? they are link to emotions, and emotions are the most common value shared with you all.
so finally Why? and why not? because you don t need to answer every why questions.

Not leaving them as a waste, deposit in our mind, sediments of some way of thinking. Hearing a music, you like it or not, you ve got the percussions coming, your mind in phase, you don t know why, you oddly enjoy it, nothing more, nothing less, not as less as not listening to them. A piece of paper, a voice recorder, that s the only thing it does require from our listening skills. 


After you ve got plenty of time to think about it, to plan it, to organise it, to weight the pros, the cons, to negotiate it, to share it, get some outsider insights. Think about it as deserved breaks Their true values are still there.

No, in fact, they are not there, they are here. Inspiration comes from a gut feeling, music is coming from guts feelings, best piece of writings starts from that. Finally these are making the best metaphor with freedom of thinking, see who you really are, what values you re supported by, it s giving insights on yourself, it s giving an unspoilt view on the outside world, most truly, most hidden ones. 


As the most common and shared value with anyone, it would anyway be too easy sliding over them.
