NLBC Boxes

NLBC, love, me, life

Frequently used by the active NLBs, the NLBC Boxes come in different size, shapes and colour. They can be use in many occasions like when you decide to take the big step in the NLBC world. Once your a member, you may use it to get out of the darkness and find a new place where you can breathe and evolve. And when you face life with a new energy, things happen and you may need the NLBC boxes to share your new found happiness. As confidence grows, you become more and more enthusiastic and you can take those boxes to build your own nest with the people you love. But be careful running with these boxes in your arms can be hazardous. If you move to fast, you can trip and hit a wall. And when it happens, when your body and mind tell you to stop, you will need those boxes to take a break, move back and analyse where you find yourself and why you have hit that wall.

And after your break, where these boxes will carry you? Will you follow the same direction that your were heading before you stopped or will you take another road? To soon to tell, you better take the time to unpack them before trying to fill them again..

love, me, fatigue, Project 52

Don't ask.

A week full in emotions, many things happening at the same time, many problems at work, many difficult moments in my personal life, many introspection...Oops my project 52 photo!

Bah, the old fridge in my camp lodge...

love, me, blathering, work ...

I know I have neglected you in the past weeks, or should I say months? But I won't try to find excuses why I did it because I have simply occupied myself to other things. I have realized that this blog has been really a way to exteriorize my feelings while I was stuck in my thoughts but now that everything move fast around me, I have problems sitting down and write. Maybe it's because that everything is new, new job, new relationship, new living environment, etc.. and maybe in a few months I will find back again the need to write about my everyday life and thoughts, maybe...

But for now, either I'm too tired or I don't have the time. But I have to say that I often miss the pleasure of exchanging with all of you and I often take a look on what's going on the OC.

Ok Since I have already named this post News News News, I should give you some eh?

First big news, Dalexia and I have rent a house and we will move together on the 1st of July. We were both paying our separate rents but we were already living together. At her place most of the time and at my place on the weekends when we didn't have her children with us. So it will be a nice way to save money. And it will also give us the chance to see how it is living together for real, sharing the bills, take common decisions, etc. And it will also give us the chance to see if we can both bare each other for one year!

So if everything work fine, we may buy a small house. Until that, here is a photo of our new rented house:

And about my new job, well, it's ok but I have a lot and a lot of work to do. I don't complain because I like it but I'm looking forward to have worked a complete year and know all there is to know. It's always more difficult to learn and start everything when you begin a job and that is exactly what I'm living right now. For example these days, I have to find a dozen of new employees, complete my 2009 budget previsions, fill two big subvention demands and many other things. So maybe I should stop writing and go back to work

Another reason why I don't blog as much as I use to do is that I shoot less photos. But that will change as soon as the camp will open because I will have the greatest environment for photographing nature. Speaking of that, I have begun to look for a zooming lens for my Sony. Beware loons, minks, moose and other creatures because Volkuro is coming!

NLBC, me, opera community, life

Last month I have written a last post before suspending my blog for an undetermined period of time until, I quote myself, “my scars will be healed and my new life will already be in motion.” Well today I think I can proudly say that I have achieved this goal almost perfectly.

The first big news:

No, it's not that new blog design, it's really bigger than this, I'm starting a new job next Monday!

And it's not any job because it fits exactly what I wanted to do after I have quit my job at the park which mean that I have found a job where I can help less fortunate people and have the feeling that I will do something useful with my life.

So starting from next week I will be the new chief executive of a charity organism which provide to low incomes families, immigrants and mentally challenged persons the possibility to spend an outdoor vacation out of their daily problems and realities. The organism owns a 400 acres camp with a private lake which could accommodate hundreds of vacationers and give them the opportunity to do outdoor activities like swimming, canoeing, hiking, archery, etc. I'm very happy to have been chosen for this job because it combines my love for nature and social implication. Although, it's a little bit strange for a non-ambitious guy like me to get a higher management post but with time, I have discovered that I kind of like to have the latitude to do the things the way I would like them to be and in my past experiences, the employees don't seem to hate my way of managing.

This new job also means a brand new outdoor environment for Volkuro, the amateur photograph and that could be good news for those who miss the usual nature portion of this blog. But you will have to wait until May, when the camp will open because until then, I will work from my home doing mostly paper work in preparation of the summer season.

Second big news:

Most of you know or have guessed that my recent emotional down period was due to my complicated past year's love life. Well in this case, the actors are the same but the state of minds have changed. Two weeks ago, a new Dalexia has written to me after having passed through an eye-opening period of her life and she has succeed to show me that there was a possibility for us to start a new relationship but this time with a different approach. Since we now both know exactly what we don't want, we only have to concentrate our minds on what we want and hope that the mix between our two life's realities can work out and we could be happy as two balanced individuals sharing a part of their lives together. So it's one step at the time but so far, so good...

Third news:

As the proud President of the New life Beginner's Club, I had to emphasize this hopeful new beginning in a brilliant way so I thought about giving myself a gift that I have always wanted, a tattoo.

Since I'm not an impulsive type of person, I have taken the time to consider what kind of design I would like to have and after finding the main idea, I have asked myself who could create in a satisfying way what I had in mind. They I thought “why restrain myself to the regional artists? I'm an Opera member after all, I have access to some of the greatest artists of this planet!” So I have decided to contact a well-known Irish visual artist who does miracles with his camera as well with his pencil or computer and since he is also a gentleman, he has kindly accepted to present me consecutive sketches until I was satisfy with the final result.(I'm sure you have already guessed who he is

).

This painful first experience has taken place yesterday, the following day of my 41th Birthday. It has lasted 40 minutes and the result is excellent.

So 2009 has started on a really nice note for me and you won't hear me complain about it. With all the things I've been through since I have began my new life and this blog back in April 2006, I believe that I deserve this second new life start and that from now on, life will be good for me
