C'est l'histoire d'un gars qui voulait en finir mais se donna une dernière chance.
C'est l'histoire d'une mission suicide qui se transforma en reconstruction.
C'est l'histoire d'une chute qui devint rebond
C'est l'histoire d'un sursaut d'orgueil face a la mort intérieure
C'est une histoire toute simple, l'histoire d'une mise en orbite d'un gamin qui rêvait de voler

This is my last post on this blog. Almost two years after my arrival in Darfur and the creation of this blog, I feel it's time to stop posting here. When I started, my aim was to give some news to my friends and family. Later, it became a good way to motivate myself to share pictures. But today, I want to be able to show my pictures without being anonymous and anyway have serious doubt about the interest of my posts. From a description of my situation and a few thoughts about my surroundings, I finally ended up speaking only about myself, my vacation, my money and girls (or their absence).
But while some might consider my living condition as not particularly attractive and others envy my freedom or travel opportunities, the truth is that despite 224 posts, I have never really explained what was my real life, the genuine me and I am not sure I really tried.. I played with words and reality, provoked sometimes and just enjoyed writing with my mind in orbit.
When I left for Darfur two years ago, I had never imagined that I would be traveling so much, have the job and responsibilities I have and certainly not that I would stay here so long. I projected a change and I got a revolution. Some hard battles have been won and new ones will certainly come but sometimes, I think it is important to stop, to look at the view and to smile. Just smile.
This blog is dedicated to the dreamers who believe that everything can be changed. Everything.
Edit on 03 October: I started a new blog. If you want the address, please write me an email to my gmail.com account: butwhoisit

Somehow, the end of summer is always the time of the year when people suddenly start thinking about what they have done and what they can change, and try to sort out their lives. No surprise, then, that this is the third blog I have been following in a row which has come to its last post during the last seven days ...
Anyway, thanks for taking your time to blog. Whenever your posts were not meant to be funny, they have been a great source of deep thoughts.
From now on, I will certainly have to take the time to fill your mail folder instead of posting silly comments on your blog.
And you stopping blogging has a good side, too: The next time we miss each other by 10 meters 10000km away from home, well, at least we won't know :)
J'espère que tu me donneras quand même des nouvelles… Au cas où : je pars demain à Curaçao, après demain au Vénézuela, je reviens le 17 à St Barth, je repars le 19 en France, le 26 en Italie, le 1 à Paris, le 5 de retour sur le caillou.
Dommage que t'entendes pas les commentaires qu'on pense intérieurement mais qu'on n'écrit pas... tu douterais plus que tes photos et tes textes nous
touchent et nous nourrissent...
même si on (je !) pige pas tout...
Sniff alors. Dernier vol de ton blog... Ainsi va la vie et les besoins de changements qu'on ressent et qu'il faut vivre mais dommage pour nous... Bons sourires!
Thanks. I will send you a message as soon as I have an official blog (not anonymous) and with pictures only.
If someone else is interested, please contact me or leave me your email address.
Cheers
J'attends d'autres photos avec impatience (et des vidéos aussi ? Avec un 5D Mark II, y a de quoi ^^). N'abandonne pas les petits commentaires ! Tschüssi.
I finally have a new blog under my own name. If you want to follow it, please send me an email to the following gmail.com address: butwhoisit
