Hollywood

I followed Jon through Hollywood, the light and the shadows of Alfred Hitchcock, Laurel and Hardy, Clark Gable, Gloria Swanson, Mickey Mouse and Humphrey Bogart, falling all around us.

Un joyeux non-anniversaire #40

Aujourd'hui, on pense à Ornella Muti, un an de plus; à Bukowski bien sûr, mort un 9 mars; à d'autres clic-clic. A Ben Gazzara pardi, qu'importent les dates, lire Arnaud Le Guern clic-clac, les mots qu'il fallait.

A Very Merry Unbirthday #21

- I can't stand people. I hate them.

- Oh, yeah ?

- You hate them ?

- No, but I seem to feel better when they're not around.

Un chien de l'enfer

If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery – isolation.
Isolation is the gift.
