Autopromo du mois de décembre

Et voilà, après Glamour, c'est Paris Match qui m'a demandé de témoigner. Le résultat: cette photo assassine (interdiction de sourire, m'a dit le photographe), et surtout ce texte sur le site du journal: j'y parle d'« une génération endurante qui s’adapte, se débrouille, se réinvente et trouve ses propres solutions. Vous verrez, un jour nous allons vous épater. »

En vrai, c'était aussi ça que je voulais dire plutôt, mais bon, David Forster Wallace l'a déjà bien exprimé:

[T]he real value of a real education [has] almost nothing to do with knowledge, and everything to do with simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over:

‘This is water.’

It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out. Which means yet another grand cliché turns out to be true: your education really IS the job of a lifetime.”

(dans This is Water).

Voilà, bonne journée à tous!

And I felt pretty sorry. So this is how I picture you reading this terrible wasteblog, so I wish I had used moderation and critical thought more wisely. But I didn't and wrote pretty inflamed things. I'm sorry because I do have more interesting things to talk about. I just finished an internship in an old people's house, believe me, there's a lot to say :). I also had the opportunity to have a direct feedback f...

* Health *

Alright folks, today's topic: health. What is it? After 3 years giving massages in Paris, I have to come out of the closet: massages are not the Graal to health. Yep sorry. Actually, some people are consuming massages the way they would consume anything - without paying attention, having the misconception that something branded "healthy" that they pay (and believe me, they pay :)) for should provide them with a certain quality of being. I actually heard of someone who got sued from one of her regular attendee because she had cancer. In a gesture of anger, and refusal, she preferred to sue her massage therapist in order to have someone to blame for it. That's unfortunate, not to mention pointless and wasteful. But indeed, it illustrates some of the rather poor ideas some of us have on health. So let me randomly banter on that topic. 1. Health is the absence of disease. In a society (the French society) famous for its disdain for the body, and its high medicati...
