Indochine

Here is the band Indochine, the singer is Nicola Sirkis (a good friend of Brian Molko's, Placebo's singer). I like this group, so let me introduce you an old song and a recent one... it's really different but I love both!

Zazie

Isabelle de Truchis de Varennes, alais Zazie, is a French singer. I like her very much and she's great on stage! Just have a look at the clip and tell me what do you think of it! ;)

Yeahhhhh

I'm SOOOOO happy!!
Yesterday my former english teacher (when I was in Junior High) called me!!! She asked me to do some baby-sitting for her 3-year-old-little girl. I find that really kind! She is really nice!! She also wanted to get some news from me since actually it's thanks to her if today I study English because 6 years ago I hated to speak English!!
So she's going to call me on Monday to organize everything for the baby-sitting, and on Wednesday, logically, I'm going to see her and her little girl, it'll be the first time I'm going to her so she wants me to see Manon before baby-sit. And on Thrusday, I'll baby-sit her
:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D

Karim Köster

Karim Köster is a German actor, he played Richard Von Brahmberg in Verliebt In Berlin. Richard Von Brahmberg is someone really mean and selfish and acts in his own interrest, so you hate him! lol

But I've seen pictures of him and he looks really funny. Oh well, I can make a difference between reality and fiction. But I'm always surprised when I see that the person and the character are totally different ( as for Alexandra Neldel who seems really uptight and whose in real life is not at all! I've seen some pictures of her naked on google... really surprising!! lol oh think that I like to watch naled ladies on internet! lol). So here are some pictures of Karim.

Karim and Alexandra Neldel (alias Lisa Plenske).

Karim and Mathis Künzler (alias David Seidel).

to GaryB!

Thanks to you Gary to read my blog! lol, I think you're my only reader ;)

Music Party

Evrery June, 21st, in France, we celebrate the "Music Party". It happens in the street and in different places, different groups play. It's really cool! (Thanks Jack Lang!)

This year, a friend invited me to eat with friends of hers. It was tones of fun!

Then we went to the "Music Party". Sadly it rained :( but we stayed! lol... and if we satyed, it was beacause we were supposed to meet the French Jack Sparrow! Waouuuu, it was fantastic!!! Special thanks to Aurore and Céline!! :))))

Here's the picture:

Friendship...

Marion, who's my "friends" told me yesturday that she doesn't want to go to Tunisia in September because she really wants to have fun, so she prefers to stay at home... what I'm supposed to think about that?! Do you really think she is a real friend?... I doubt by now! Also she told me that she wanted to go to Zazie's concert (a french singer) and to Gad Elmaleh's one man show... she said no... She's really selfish since everybody try to make things good for her (because she decided the date of departure and arrival for the trip and you say no to friend of yours who really want to go to Zazie's concert and whose she can't stand anymore). She really thinks she's the World's center! and when you hurt her a little by telling her the truth (what a real friend is supposed to do) but she really doesn't care if she hurts you... Anyway, I don't want her to bother me anymore so if I've got something to say, I'll tell her and I don't care the things it'll involve then...

Holiday!!

My school year is over, and "Viva Las Vacaciones"!

What I'm going to do?

lol

Ségolène Présidente!

Yesterday I’ve went to my first political meeting. So I’ve seen Ségolène Royal, and I wish on Sunday she’ll be our new President! We were a lot to this meeting, around 25.000 people! Inside it was REALLY hot! It was unbearable but our will to see “Ségo” made us stay. There were such a party atmosphere, it was great. I’ve met people of different generations, different skin colors, different sexual preferences, different social level… I really felt to be a part of the world… it’s quite a weird feeling and it’s hard to explain actually. Some famous people were there: Renaud ( a French singer); Costa Gavras, François Ozon & Jacques Weber (French directors)… and of course many politicals as Martine Aubry (whose also Lille’s Major), Jacques Delors, Elisabeth Guigou, Jean-Pierre Chevenement, DSK… even the President of the Italian Social Party & the one of the European Social Party… so a lot of people, and Ségolène Royal of course! She was great, even more that the previous day she succeeded the debate face to her opponent Nicolas Sarkozy. Now let’s talk about the end of the meeting, it was the best part! We heard her song “Tous Avec Toi” I love beat of the song it’s young and dynamic. And obviously everybody sang our Hymn “La Marseillaise”. It was something, the first time that I really sang it and I felt patriotic for once. The most beautiful was when everybody brandished their Flags and signs in saying “Aux armes Citoyens” it was really beautiful! And also while we were singing “La Marseillaise”, I’ve seen Thomas Hollande (he’s pictured just below), Ségolène’s son, I was “upset” by him! Lol.
Now we just have to wait 2 days and we’ll know what will be our Future for 5 years: Chaotic or not.
Vive Ségo!
“Allons enfants de la patrie
Le jour de gloire est arrivé
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L’étendart sanglant est levé, l’étendart sanglant est levé
Entendez-vous dans nos campagnes mugir ces féroces soldats
Qui viennent jusque dans nos bras
Egorger nos fils et nos compagnes
Aux armes citoyens
Formez vos bataillons
Marchons, marchons,
Qu’un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons ! »

My poor little dog...

I have a dog, Harmony, she's a Yorkshire, so she's really tiny and she's old (14 years 1/2). She was my Christmas gift when I was 5 and I'm her ennemy since I thought she was like a doll (I dressed her with my dolls' clothes...), I was a way to young to understand she was a living doll. But yesterday she found her really ennemy, a big dog. Actually Harmony was in my drive way (she's really compliant, nice, and she won't hurt a fly!), when a man were having a walking with his dog, and he's mean dog attacked mine! It took her into its mouth and it shaked (I'm not sure of the tense) her, so obviously she was screaming my poor little lady. My mother went out and she was furious! (it's understandable!). So it hurt Harmony and now she's totally upset, she doesn't dare to go outside and everything. The vet had to jab her to make her come down. She has medecines since she's big bruises on her belly and she's suffering a lot but she doesn't complain. It could have killed her, she could have had a heart attack, or her spinal column and her kidneys broken... the worst is that she was quiet on her territory... and also that the master did nothing to empeach his dog to beat mine... Non, mais vraiment on est plus maître chez soi ici!

Verliebt in Berlin!

I'm going to tell you what I do when I come back from university. I watch Le Destin De Lisa, the original title is Verliebt In Berlin, actually it's the German Ugly Betty (but actually Ugly Betty is based on Yo Soy Betty La Fea and Verliebt In Berlin, but I think that the American goal is different of the Mexican and the German ones). Well, I don't know if Ugly Betty is a good TV show, but Le Destin De Lisa is NOT! but I can't stop watching it! Well, sometimes it's so stupid that it makes me laugh and actually everyday something new is happening and it leaves you on suspense, so you want to know what is going to happen! Actually I want to know a little bit than in Desperate Housewives (don't that in the last episodes nothing really interresting happened since we know the truth about Monique). Anyway, I'm not addicted to Lisa but almost. Plus, it could be good to learn another language. In fact, I've got Sat.1 -the channel which airs ViB- and I try to learn German just like I learnt English with Friends (but I had some notions in English, on the contrary I didn't known A word of German, now I can make some sentences!)

The actress is Alexandra Neldel, she's quite good, we can't even imagine she's absolutely NOT uptight! Also, you don't imagine her as a sexy woman... here are the pictures of Lisa and Alexandra. By the way, don't you think Alex looks a little bit like Jennifer Aniston? I do, and the funny thing is that they're both born on a February 11th!

The weird case... (me)

Let's talk a little bit about my health... Well, I've got some problems to write for 2 years by now (actually on april, 5th it'll be it anniversary). Actually at first we thought it was a tendonotis at my right elbow. But then, several weeks later, the pain remained. So I went to a rheumatologist practice, and she x-rayed my back... nothing wrong so she requested me to pass a kind of scan of my neck but you know they can get pictures thanks to magnetism (actually in France we call that an IRM)... results: nothing wrong. In September, about 2 weeks after we restarted courses, I couldn't write again and I couldn't cut my meat, tie up my shoes... very annoying! So I went to a neurologist who sent me discharges in my arm and told me I was cured, and the problem was that my brain was...forgetting that I had a right arm! (so weird!). But a week later, I was back since it was worst and it was coming in my left arm and he told me that it was just psychological, he maintained that I was cured. It stopped for a while, but in March, it began again. I went to another neurologist who requested me to pass 2 other IRM, one of my neck and another of my brain (they thought it was a tumor): but nothing (thanks god!). The new neurologist sent me discharges once again and then he jabed a needle in 19 different place in my muscles of my arms and legs (in about 5 minutes!... it was awful!) and I had to contract my muscles... result: nothing except that I couldn't use members for 3 days since it was SO painful! Anyway, now when I go to my neurologist he tells me "it's you the weird case!"

Yesterday I went in a hospital to pass another IRM of my neck, and guess what was the result...

Nothing...

My neurologist is right... I am weird!

Easy to remeber me...

On fridays, I come back in Desvres by train. But this week it was a special one since I saw a friend from Junior High, so 4 years ago. Immediatly I recognized me, he said: "you're Alexandra Bertin, you're a fan of Friends and you're a vegetarian who only eat...wieners!". Honestly it's really funny espacially the part with the wieners! I laughed when he said that obviously! But I have to say something, I'm not really a vegetarian: I also eat some beef, chicken. The wieners were actually the only thing I could eat at the dinning hall... in fact I don't rely upon food from dinnig halls... only wieners! lol

Do you think I'm weird? lol

St Patrick's day

Yesturday, with a group a friends, we wanted to celebrate St Patrick's day, but the organisation was chaotic! So at 8.00pm, my cousin Tony and I wanted to go to the movies to watch "Music and Lyrics". It was quite good, then we wanted to go to the Irish pub we were supposed to go since the rest of the group was there. But, when we entered, nobody was here! We called Adrien, a friend, and actually they were all at the train station. With Tony we decided to go there for a while... but we followed the group into the Irish pub (sadly I couldn't taste the "Irish coffee" and "Guinness" because I was the driver!). And then we went into a nightclub.

Result we came back at 6.10am! And we were only supposed to go to the movies!

I've slept only 4h30... I'm EXHAUSTED!!!

bad pupil!

Well, I've went in my attic this afternoon and I've found my old english copybook (8th grade). I was in a european class so I had more english courses than my friends. I was supposed to be a good english speaker but I wasn't AT ALL! My tests were in my copybook so read them and sometimes I laughed a LOT!

I'm gonna write the "best" sentences I read and sometimes it really means nothing!

"How hardworking do you?
Not, I'm!"

(find the vocubulary corresponding to these definitions) "when the doctor tells you what you should and shouldn't do, he gives you: medecines!"

"my mother likes eating fish, she's very good at it"

(put the words in the correct order) "Who get with do you along?", "What your sister is in class?", "who this is for present?"

So what do you think? Is it good?! lol

But I've also written a poem and my teacher found it quite good:

"My present.

It was on a day with fog,

the day of Christmas.

My present was a dog,

for me it was fabulous."

DANGER

well I want to talk a little bit about global warming... It's really worrying. I'm going to use my personnel experience to illustrate what I'm gonna say.
We're Wednesday March, 14th 2007, temperature: 14°C (61°F). This temerature is normally the one we have in late April, so more than a month too soon. Last year it was the CPE crisis (which media dramatized negatively, I prefer to tell you, pacifical strikers exist!), and my High School, Giraux Sannier, was block by pupils and students. So we couldn't enter in the school building at all and since I lived 20km away from it and the school bus had left, and my parents were working, I couldn't come back home and I stayed outside (and it lasted about 2 weeks, obviously I tried to find way to come back and sometimes I stayed in my bed it was hotter!). Anyway, I remember something... It was really cold! and it frosted (I don't know if this word exists...). Temperature are anormal for the season...
Temperature are the hottest since 1954. And it doesn't mean that in 1954 we had these temperatures but it means that we've the hottest temperature records since we're able to have precise calculus.
We have to protect the planet. I don't want you to be ecologist, it's really not what I'm saying, actually I don't like that word. I jsut want you to be civilized. By civilized I mean that when you're able to live with everybody, you commit no discrimination, you are civilized. It's the same for the planet, everyday people are unconsciously fighting against the planet and we have to respect it. So be a litlle bit more careful with it, BE CIVILIZED!

Lunar Eclipse

I love all these phenomons like eclipses. In a way, I've always loved to watch the sky the night, I don't know why but I'm fascinated. Right now I'm watching the sky with binoculars, I stop to write and I watch. It reminds me my youth. Before, every 4th of July (the day of Maxime's birthday, my brother), with my brother and my 3 cousines Mathilde, Estelle and Clarisse, we used to watch the sky with a toy telescope and it was cool! I remember, once my brother wanted to watch the Moon but when he watched, he saw something weird, like a fire ball. So we all looked at the Moon, it was impossible it wasn't it. And we try to find what it was. Afterwards, Mathilde found out. It was a streetlight!! It was tons of fun! Also one summer we had dinner at my cousines' home. And Maxime, Mathilde and 2 of her cousins rode their bike by night. And the Moon was red because of a Lunar eclipse. So they said it was Mars and Extraterrestrials were coming. But Malthilde lost her slipper (what an idea to ride a bike with slippers!), so she stopped next a hedge to put it back. And, suddenly, someone in the hedge said "Hey!", so obviously she screamed and jump on her bike and pedaled like a crazy girl! Meanwhile, the man was saying "I'm sorry, don't worry!". But she was so scared that she ran away! lol. And when she told her little experience I remember I laughed A LOT!

Above you can see a picture of the eclipse I'm watching...

We count on you!

Tonight I've watched "Les Restos Du Coeur" (The restaurants of the heart). It's an association which help people in the need.

All began on September, 26th 1985. Coluche, a french humorist, one day on radio he cast a call to the french. He said that he couldn't stand the fact that people can't eat and have a shelter. So he said, "I thought we could open a free restaurant for those who can't buy food and everything. So, at first, we could open one in Paris, and then in all the big cities." So he asked a friend of him, Jean-Jacques Goldman, to write a song and with all the profits they opened the restaurant and the first meal had been served on december 1985. And now it's a real institution, and every year a concert is organized with about 30 celebrities, singers, actors, ex-models, humorists (sometimes bad singers! but I'm happy since there doing an effort!)... so they're all volunteers and once again all the profits is for Les Restos. They also sell DVD and CD of the concert and each one represents 17 meals!... sadly Coluche died in June 1986, and much more sad "Les Restos Du Coeur" still exist, so it means that poverty didn't disappeared.

Few numbers: in 1985, volunteers served 8.000.000 meals. Today volunteers serve more than 70.000.000.

And if today "Les Restos Du Coeur" exist it's only because the governement is unable to help people... no! I should say: the governement don't really want to help people! But they prefer big luxurious parties... with a lot of champagne, a lot of food... they "need" business car... They have to travel a lot... In the meantime, people are living in the street, and I want insist on the fact that today 1 french worker on 3 is homeless, that's something, no? and what is the governement doing meanwhile? Absolutely Nothing!!! IT'S A REAL SHAME!!!

Well, now I'm going to translate you a part of the song which financed the first resto!

Today, we musn't be hungry and be cold

Overtake of ourself

I spare a thought for you, and I spare a thought for me

I don't promise you a great care,

But just a meal and a drink

A piece of bread and warmth

In the Restos, the Restos du Coeur...

We count on you!!!

Apocalypse in 2036?

I'm sorry but you have to know... there's a chance that in 2036 we're going to die because of an asteroide... and it's not a joke. But the probablity is 1/45.000 so we should be so worried by it, except scientist in astronomy, they should find a way to avoid it.

Edith's Biography

Edith Piaf
Birth nameEdith Giovanna Gassion
Height4' 8" (1.42 m)
Mini biography
When one thinks of the legendary Edith Piaf, one thinks of love, music and despair. One did not breathe without the others when it came to this French singing icon. Born in Paris practically on the streets on December 19, 1915, she struggled from day one, the daughter of street performers. The mother, a singer, eventually abandoned both Edith and her father for a solo career. When she was a baby, she was given red wine in a baby's bottle and not milk. Piaf spent her youth entertaining passers-by, receiving little formal education in the process. She often accompanied her father's acrobat street act with her singing and at various times was forced to live with various relatives, in alleys or in cheap hotels. An aborted love affair left her with a baby girl at age 17, but little Marcelle died of meningitis at 2 years old. Devastated, Piaf returned to the streets she knew, now performing solo. Her fortunes finally changed when an impresario, Louis Leplee, mesmerized by what he heard, offered the starving but talented urchin a contract. He alone was responsible for changing her name from Edith Gassion to "La Mome Piaf" (or "Kid Sparrow"). Piaf began entertaining in elegant cafes and cabarets and became a singing sensation amid the chic French society with her throbbing vocals and raw, emotional power. From 1936 Piaf recorded many albums and eventually became one of the highest paid stars in the world. She was first embroiled in scandal when her mentor, Leplee, was murdered and she was held for questioning. She managed to survive the messy affair and carry on while her ever-growing society circle now began to include such elite members as writer/director Jean Cocteau. Piaf also took to writing and composing around this time; one of the over 80 songs she wrote included her signature standard, "La vie en rose." Piaf later toured the United States to branch out internationally. America was slow to accept the melodramatic Piaf but she persevered and eventually won legions of fans. She also continued a series of affairs with the likes of actor Paul Meurisse, composer Henry Contet and, most notably, boxing champion Marcel Cerdan. The latter's death in a 1949 plane crash left Piaf devastated and many claim this was the beginning of her downfall. The day of his death she sang for the first time "L'hymne à l'amour". Piaf had a life-long habit of involving herself heart and soul in launching the singing careers of her protegee/lovers. Over the years this would include Yves Montand, Charles Aznavour and Eddie Constantine. Two serious car accidents suffered in 1951 led to a morphine and alcohol addiction that left Piaf's life skidding out of control despite a potentially happy marriage in 1952 to actor Jacques Pills. A series of spectacular comebacks in concert and recordings would follow over the years but her health would slowly waste away. Her last appearance was at the Paris Olympia, racked with illness and barely able to stand. Her last recorded song was "L'homme de Berlin" in 1963, the year of her death. She died in poverty on the same day as her friend Jean Cocteau and at the age of 47, the same age as her equally tortured American counterpart, Judy Garland. Piaf left many debts for her second husband (and protege) Theo Sarapo, who was twenty years younger (he died in 1970 at age 34). Piaf's funeral was massive yet, because of her lifestyle, was forbidden a Mass. It was the only time since WWII that Parisian traffic was completely stopped. A museum was dedicated in her honor. Piaf remains the epitome of the French singer in style and passion; for many Piaf IS France.IMDb mini-biography by: http://hungarian.imdb.com/SearchBios?Gary%20Brumburgh%20/%20gr-home@pacbell.net

Personal quotes
"You never know a guy till you've tried him in bed. You know more about a guy in one night in bed than you do in months of conversation. In the sack, they can't cheat!"
"For me, singing is a way of escaping. It is another world. I'm no longer on earth."

WHAT A FILM!!!

I've just seen "La Môme" for the third time!! What a film! honestly it's really beautiful. It's midnight here in France but I take few minutes to tell you the impact of this film on people.

1st time:

In Lille, premiere with the director, Olivier Dahan, the producer, Alain Goldman, an actor, Pascal Greggory, and the main actress, Marion Cotillard. The End: nobody sit up of their chair, people applaused, nobody were speaking, it was a silence of death...

I cried 3 times.

2nd time:

In Calais, I've seen the people of the previous showing and a woman were crying, when the film began everybody stopped to talk. The End: nobdy sit up of their chair, some people were crying, including me, a perfect silence. In the toilets I saw 2 women applying make-up on their cheeks!

I cried 9 times!

3rd time:

In Boulogne sur Mer, when the film began everybody stopped to talk. The End: nobdy sit up of their chair, we applaused, some people were crying, including me, a perfect silence. In the car, with my 2 friends Aurore and Camille, we didn't speak and Camille were still crying, so about 20 minutes!

I cried 12 times!!

4th time:

In Desvres, well nobody was talking during the film (except my 2 aunts, sometimes it was a bit annoying), it was really hot in the room, the chairs weren't comfortable, the sound so so. The End: nobody talked, at first, but then after 2 minutes, the noise was come back. So it was the best time, I mean for the conditions, then the film remained fabulous and really moving...

I cried 13 times!!!!!!

Well, it was the last one. Now I have to wait for the DVD! so maybe it'll be sold around August... uhhhh, it'll be REALLY long to wait!

Zen afternoon?

Now I don't think it was so good that zen afternoon... with all that changes of temperature hot/cold/hot/cold... yesturday morning when I woke up I felt that something cracked inside me, and it wasn't a bone! I should have tear a muscle or have had a stiff neck... but it's really painful. So I spent a zen afternoon for several days of pain! What a chance!!! lol
And the worst is that tonight I'll have to drive to go to the movies... thanks God I'll have 3 co-pilots! I'll tell you tomorrow how was the drive!

Zen Afternoon!

Midday, my friend Ludivine sent me an sms, she asked me if I wanted a zen afternoon. Obviously I said YES! So, with another friend from our senior class, Serena, we went to the swimming pool but with the forfeiture Hammam, Sauna and Jaccuzzi... ahhhh, it was so good! And so hot! lol

Girls see you next time in the vapor!! lol, if I can see you

The Closet

I've just watched a film, "Le Placard" ("The Closet"). It's with Daniel Auteuil, Gérard Depardieu, Thierry Lhermitte... It's about how gay people are seen in the society of nowadays. It's really good.

Synopsis:

Forty-something Francois Pignon, who has worked for years as an accountant for the same contraceptive manufacturer, becomes suicidal when he learns that his company is downsizing and he is about to lose his job. Work means everything to this gloomy and boring little man since both his ex-wife, who left him after two years of marriage, and their 16-year-old son avoid him. But things are about to change when Pignon's psychologist neighbor persuades him that he can save his job by coming out to his employers as a gay man -- even though he isn't.

Apparently it exists in english, so if one day you can watch it, don't hesitate

I work sometimes...

Despite I'm in holiday, I worked this morning. I baby-sit for a 2 year-old-little boy named Timothé. His mother is one of my mom's colleague, she had nobody to keep him so she asked me if I could, so I came back in Desvres (where I live since I'm 4-5 days old! lol) a little bit earlier. I had to give him a bath but he cried, his mom told me that usually he loves that, but today he wanted to put his sneackers on so he didn't wanted to take a bath. Anyway, with some difficulty I cleaned him and then I dressed him up and put his sneackers on, and then he was calm! Afterwards we played, I read him some short stories, he drew... It was tons of fun! Oh!!! we played with a tiny vacum and he fainted to aspirate my nose, and then he wanted me to do it to him but he hardly speaks so he put his forefinger on his nose and twitched it! it was so cut!! he remembered me Erin Murphy!

Balance: it was a fantastic morning...

Now what will I do with my pay? Any suggestions?...

Valentines day

Valentines Day= Lovers' day? Are you kidding me?? For me it's just storekeepers' day!! Do you really think if 2 people are in love they just love each other on 14 February? I don't think so if they really love each other it's all the year!
Do you agree with me when I say that Valentines day is only the day of consommation?!
Love is something beautiful we live everyday, you can receive it from everyone (husband, boyfriend, children, friends, parents...).
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! the most beautiful thing on earth with Life!

Clovis Cornillac

Well, I went to another premiere. This one was for "Scorpion", it's not really a film I'd like to watch but I went there to see the actor Clovis Cornillac. I've only seen one film with him, "A very long engagement", and he was quite good. So when he passed in front of me I said "please" and he turned back to sign me an autograph, he asked to whom it was for so I said my name. Then he looked straight at me about 10 seconds, so I said him "thank you" but I think he was waiting a little bit more but I really didn't know what to say!! Anyway, he's quite nice and he has so beautiful eyes!

La Môme: Edith Piaf, la vie en rose?

Ok, I'm going to tell you about the premiere I went to on thursday. It was "La môme" but I think for you it'll be "La vie en rose". The film tells Edith Piaf's life, it's so so so so beautiful! honnestly I9 cried 3 times and for me it's really rare for a french film! I'm just waiting the official coming out (is it like this? can we say that for a film?), I wanna see it again!!! Seriously if you have the occasion to see it... run to it!! I LOVE!!! Also I've seen Marion Cotillard (Big Fish, Good Year, A very long engagement...), and we talked about cells with camera!lol. I love her she's really talented and she didn't disappointed me in "La môme". She's so great in it, she becomes Edith Piaf! oh, and the make-up looks so real! It's an astonishing film! I give you the link to watch the trailer, it's in french but you don't have to understand my language to see how tough it is! When I watch the trailer I'm near to cry! so beautiful:

Mr or Mrs President?

On April 22nd, I'm gonna vote for the first time. These persons are the 2 mains Ségolène Royal et Nicolas Sarkozy.

Ségo: she's for the people, she has got good ideas for the France and if she's the president I wish she'll apply everything she said

Sarko: he's for bosses, he has got a lot of good ideas too, but there's a problem he wants too much! France doesn't have the money necessary for! "you may say he's a dreamer, but he's not the only one!"lol. I wish it won't be like in 2002, i.e the right (Chirac) and someone who could be a new Hitler! we were all afraid!!! I seriously wish that it'll be a battle between the left (Ségolène) and the right (Sarkozy)! we're gonna see!
