Burlesque show in a rock bar

Saturday night was interesting. We went into a rock- punk bar, had a drink, a talk and after that we had a surprise: a pretty blond girl started to dance (half naked); it was a 10 minutes burlesque show. ( if interested: http://www.myspace.com/biancadiamonds)
There will be another 'wanna see' show. A completely tattooed guy having his one man show. (Pascal Tourain is 'L'homme tatoe' Cantada in Paris).
I hope I'll go.

Raindrops will fall on my face

It is raining. I think Paris loves rain; but I surely don't.
Saturday dullness is ^sometimes^ my thing (well installed on the cozy couch, wearing cozy thick clothes), but not this time.
I will escape it, I will go have a quick drink or whatsoever. I will surely sit on the terrace, in order to observe people crossing the street, smoking, running in or from the rain and watch my friends smoke. Hum, maybe I'll take a smoke as well.
...I have to run...

University : Nomen Conference

this morning was a good morning.

NOMEN- mister Marcel Botton, talking about his enterprise.

10h30- mister Botton (he created Nomen) starts his speech about his firm and all the great things that they do
10h35- continues his discussion with the 'internationalization of Nomen'; they are basically everywhere: UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, the USA, the Baltic countries, Sweden, Japan, Finland. That's what I call a multinational company.
.....
after all that, I get soaked up and listen carefully to the 'recruitment process'. ( I was thinking 'oh, I need to do this, I need to!'-- not because I like interviews, but because I am so interested in the branding and marketing industry....)
.....
11h20- he talks about the actual creation of a 'name'-- linguistics, history, law, culture, so many aspects!
11h 40- next step: 'you give the name a visual identity' ( i mean, what would happen if coca cola would erase its tag/ logo? or mc'do?...)
.....
Now that the 2 hours are almost over I will have to 'be a man' in order to speak to mister Botton.
.....
ok, close....here I go....yey. It was not that difficult.

Merci beaucoup et au revoir.

(deep down, I hope: 'a la prochaine')

Stepping out of the shadow

Why? because some ideas and opinions are invading my brain, because I am reading all this blogs that make my day and me too I want to make your day (a big goal) ...because I am an internet freak and yes, of course, because I have around 30 minutes / day for doing that 'stepping out of the shadow' thing.
I will be waiting to see the light.
