Something went wrong...

What is it that went so wrong?!!

How could such a classy and respected player as Zineddine Zidane fall so low and lose his poise the way he did?...

Or rather the way he didn't, that is shut his mouth and stifle his honor and integrity so as to remain a "cool" football player at the eyes of a mere billion people...

For the last finals of the last World Cup of his late career...

Or for his dignity...

When Corneille would have most likely called for a momentary truce, Zizou chose without a blink not to sacrifice his integrity... Again.

...

But this ain't right! This just can't be right!

Not that way, this went too far...

Something big got lost on the way.

And it's not just a World Cup...

... It's sad.

But if my doubts are confirmed -and I sincerely believe that this is the only explanation to what could have plausibly happened today -then Materazzi largely deserved what happened to him, and much more.

One's origins are not to be messed with... Especially if and when history aches.

So, when light is shed on this story and curtains fall down, our respect and admiration for Zou shall only grow deeper.

Shame on you Materazzi!!!

Courage Zizou... Un milliard de gens ou pas, Coupe du Monde ou pas, fin de carrière ou pas, tu as gagné mon admiration et soutien. Mon seul remords est de savoir que je n'aurais probablement pas été capable de faire idem.

Respect Zizou. Tu es le champion.

HHHHH

With a little help from my friends

I finally left. Thanks to them.
And I will miss them, that's certain.

Flexible you say?!

So here I am, stuck in Wilmington, not being able to decide when to leave for France. It's not that I can't, it's just that I don't WANT to leave... I could actually leave whenever I want thanks to an airline company called Airtech.com. But Wilmington is such a calm and peaceful town, that I just apprehend the re-immersion into the jungle.

Indeed people here share their dreams and live faithfully to what they believe in. Realizing that in such a small town, there are so many different people with so many interests is really depressing when I think about leaving!

But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. And my mission at this time is to create a chapter of the Full Belly Project in France. If for that, I need to leave Wilmington for a while, then so be it! For at least I know that thanks to Airtech, I can come back whenever I want...

Airtech.com is definitely an amazing concept. It enables "flexible" people -or hippie drunk college kids, or failed artists, slackers or whatever you would rather call them- to take a little trip to Europe for next to nothing. And here is how it works:

When a major airline company didn't fill all its seats before departure, it usually doesn't make any money on them because nobody wants to pay the outrageous amount they ask for what they call "last minute" flights. It's not everyday that some upbeat business guy takes out his shiny black suit and willingly throws away a couple thousand bucks to be at a VERY important meeting the next morning.

No, usually, people like me -again- who would rather be flexible -and it's a quality!- are the ones who need those flights. And when they're young -hey, like me again!- and broke -sounds familiar- and flexible, well, because of a lack of flexible funds, they just remain stuck in the geographic location where they initially decided to become "flexible". (which for me would be Wilmington)

But this doesn't need to happen again. No no no, not this time my friend, because Airtech.com has partnerships with those last-minute-rip-you-off-cause-we-can-do-it airline companies and can actually fly me over to Paris, for as litte as $219 one-way, with a reservation made 24h before and the soul-quenching satisfaction that I could not be more flexible than that. Once in New York I only have to shoot an e-mail to mailto:mMike@airtech.com and he'll have me flying over to Paris in less time than is needed to find a decently priced flight on Expedia, Orbitz and the likes.

So hey, now that I have found my ideal flexible-airline-service-all-included company and I have raised enough money selling FBP T-shirts and I have obtained my BS in BA (BTW BS qualifies faithfully the teachings of my 4-year business education), and I am still alive, I guess all I have left to do is to leave!

So why is it so d*mn hard to leave ILM?!!!

HHHHH
