De Marc à Marie

| | Comments (0)

Ça fait quatre ans que j'observe le gars de nuit qui travaille chez le Couche-Tard près de chez moi. Il était grand, genre six pieds deux, et fait fort. Je pense qu'il pesait 240 livres s'il en pesait une. Il avait des yeux grands et bruns. Il avait des bosses de rasage sur la peau de son visage, juste assez pour l'empêcher d'être "beau". Le gars, qui s'appelle Marc, était remarquablement gentil. Je me suis dit, "Yé ben fin, lui." Plus tard, je l'ai vu encore, et je me suis dit la même chose, mais en plus, j'ai remarqué comment il a une manière douce et calme, surtout sa voix, comme il essayait à calmer le monde juste avec sa voix. Après quelques mois, j'ai déduit qu'il est probablement gai.

Les années passaient, pas beaucoup a changé, sauf la couleur et la longueur de ses cheveux de temps en temps. Après chaque année j'étais étonné qu'il y travaille encore, les nuits. Mais jusquà jeudi soir, ça faisait longtemps que je ne l'ai pas vu. Cette fois, il y avait des différences assez impressionnantes. Premièrement, sa voix était même plus douce qu'avant, mais dans une façon que j'ignore, plus naturelle. Deuxièmement, il s'est maquillé les yeux. Troisièmement, je pensais que j'ai vu des seins en-dessous de sa chemise! (Il était assez gros pour avoir des seins d'hommes, donc j'étais pas certain.) Et la dernière chose, son nametag lisait "Marie".

Crisse.

J'y suis allé le lendemain pour acheter du root beer, et Christine la jeune rousse fine et drôle était là. Elle me confirmait que les seins étaient le résultat de la chirurgie, qu'il prend des hormones, et qu'au fur et à mesure qu'il va aller "all the way". Je crois que ça va prendre des années avant que la transformation soit complète, mais j'aimerais voir Marie à ce moment-là. Je pourrais dire que j'ai vu une telle transformation du début à la fin.

Why do we do it?

From Vanessa, why do we blog? I suggest you take the survey, just to see. Among the more interesting questions:

Has blogging changed your relationships with friends and family? If so, how?

Most of the members of my family don't know what blogs are. And the ones that do don't care. They wouldn't ask if I had a blog, and I wouldn't tell them anyway. So that hasn't changed. The only friendship that could have changed is my relationship with zura, and I can't see how that has actually changed at all, except that we now have a different way to share things such as this. (Niaiseux. What a great word.) Of course, you would have to ask her how she feels. Not even my relationship with Rose has actually changed, as I was blogging when I met her, and am blogging now. Nothing that has happened in our relationship has been affected one way or another because of blogging as far as I can see. But I haven't asked her yet. If I'm wrong, I'll let you know.

GRRM going to the small screen!!!

WOOOO! George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire is moving to the small screen as a series. I simply can't believe this. This could potentially be unbelievable. It will also give GRRM more incentive to finish the series on time, unlike another well-known fantasy hack author.

The perils of soda pop

| | Comments (2)

There's this fat guy that just started a blog. He's sick of being 300 pounds and wants to lose 100 pounds, ideally 120. He recently made an entry about the perils of soft drinks. I just realized: this is probably what is keeping me at or over 200 pounds. I get it now.

Currently my thing is sucking back root beer. I love me some root beer. For some reason, I can never really get enough. If I am walking past the fridge, my body says, "Did you get your root beer?" And I get thirsty. If I am sitting at my desk (probably another reason why I am still at two bills), I might suddenly think "You need some root beer." And I get up (exercise!) to drink some. Luckily, this happens nowhere else, but still. It's the sensation of the carbonated party happening that I really enjoy, as well as the sugar, I suppose (although I can't relate to the term "sugar rush").

I consume most of my meals and beverages at night unless I am working. Then it is more evenly distributed. I shouldn't be eating and drinking that way at night, but it's as though I get so bored that I can't help it. And this from the guy that can wake up at 7 and not eat until 10:30.

I would like to say that this week (I'll take it week by week) I will cut down on the soft drink consumption. Just to see what happens.
