It is catchy and it is nice to watch, it reminds me of the kid I was! According to Sis’, I am still a kid! I think it is good because the day I stop being a big crazy kid, I would be a sad, old and bitter man! Rather be crazy kid!

Internet: 16 Euros / month (-21)
Mobile: 2 Euros / month (-18)
Auto Insurance: 75 Euros / month (-28)
Total Saving: -67 Euros / month
I think I will even save more with internet but I will wait for another month since I just switched.

I always enjoy smoked ham cooked on a grill however it is quite expensive 18 Euros/kg.
With a little shy smile, I told the woman in the store that I would like to buy the bone because it was sold half the price in another store and if she can do the same deal that would be great. The woman cut out the bone with a huge piece of meat for me. She wrapped it up and called her colleague and she asked her to set a price on the machine for “bones”.
We both smiled when we saw the price of the huge piece of bone with meat: 0.95 euros! She did not tell her colleague what she really did for me. She gave me a whole lot of meat almost for free.

I successfully changed the back tire of my bicycle. It had a hole. I thought it would be harder to put everything back but I managed. I am sore from the exercise.
It cost me 18.90 Euros!

I received a bonus for Summer vacation from my job: 583 Euros (after tax).
Since I bought the studio, I was careful and I wanted to save enough to be able buy a car and a laptop when the time comes. I almost saved enough to buy both now and it is tempting to buy a nice new gadget: an Ultra High Definition flat screen (4K) or an IPhone or a Samsung or a kick ass Asus desktop.

On Thursday 12 June 2014, date of my last mental crisis, I unleashed my negative feelings towards the property developer of my building regarding few things that were imperfect:
1. The elevator: not working
2. The garage door: it can be opened manually
3. The front gate: it remains open without a proper rotatory mechanism.
4. The firewall doors: They make noise and when they close they are blocked.
I wrote emails to everyone and to all companies involved, I created a blog and a Facebook account. I threatened them to index my blog to Google, to post my blog and my Facebook account to every public forum and to bring down their names and their reputation. I also requested that each company involved will see their contract terminated at the next General Assembly of the owners of the building.
I received 2 phone calls, 1 email on Friday and 1 on Monday. They all tried to solve the problem without proposing anything (no date proposed). I intensified my threats by requesting the intervention of the Mayor on security issues and 2 public organisations.
On Monday at 12 pm, 5 people were waiting in front of the gate:
1. The project manager
2. An electrician
3. A cleaner
4. 2 technicians for the garage and the front gate.
They all fixed the problems and they tried to demonstrate they could not do more than that. The project manager had to stand and wait in front of the gate for the whole day.
I wrote an email saying I suspended all my actions until the full resolution of the list of problems. The property developer had to send an email and set a date for each of the problem I listed.
I am proud of myself. These problems can stay unresolved for a whole year and I managed to solve most of them in 4 days! They actually did not concern me much except for the front gate. Some squatters started to enter and it could give others ideas.

I had a reflection about kids. When I look at the fat kid on my floor and his parents…Geez … All I wanna say is what a waste of lives. They look sad, they look dumb and they look lost in this world.
I hope that my sister will have a nice, pretty and charming daughter. Some kids have this power: you would do anything to make them smile.

Today, I felt bad but I had to be clear. The stupid fat kid came and asked if he can borrow my Xbox 360. I told him that I am sorry but the Xbox 360 costs 600 euros when I bought it and I cannot let him borrow it. I hurt me to say it to the kid but he is really pushing the button too far and it should be clear.
I really do not want to have to deal with these people: I am very crual, I do not help stupid ugly people and I will never do it.
What I meant by “stupid” is that the kid has no education, the first time we met he entered my studio without even asking. He checked around, touched everything without permission. The kind of fat stupid characters you get to see in movies but here I got a live version!

I can feel a mental crisis coming so to kill it in da egg, I ran today. I probably ran for an hour and half at a decent speed. I did not stop. I ran the length I usually did with my bike. Then I used my bike 4 times for the same length.
My whole body is sore. I am getting old but the training has taught me to control my breathing and the pain.
I am feeling good now. It is the only remedy that works on my brain: run run run!
