Hey all!
No, I'm not dead, as you can see. The reason I haven't been posting lately is this: I've been in a bad mood, and this blog is not about getting everyone going: 'Oooh, look at poor Nico over there...'.
A freaking long time to be in a bad mood I hear you say. So, OK, I haven't been depressed everyday, no. But the whole immigration affair with Natalie is starting to take its toll on me, and for all that I need to be strong for her and appear confident, stupid bureaucracy is starting to get the better of ol' Bourgui. It's even worse as it does not affect me, but her... It's always the way huh? When you try to get to someone tough, you target the people they care for.
Anyway, enough of this self-pitying crap. It's funny actually, because I honestly believe that, were it not for this small administrative detail, my life would be fabulous. Sure I'm not rich and I could always use more holidays :o) but I got a job I like (most days), I live with Nat and I've got time and money enough to do the things I like (sports, games and movies galore in these parts!). I also get to semi-regularly spend time with Marcel (now if we could just get the Arab to stop pretending he's busy all the time and join us from time to time... Hint hint Karim! :op )
Life is really quite enjoyable here. So here's to hoping we can sort it all out quickly, so we can bask in all its comforts and pleasures. And then there'll be plenty of blog updates from me, for sure :o)
You all take care now!
El Nico
PS: You're right Tao, these pix are overdue. Tell you what, I'm gonna compile a 'best of' for the year so far, just to make up for it!
