Shawn

Shawn Pilgrim,

my most deeply moving meeting.
One huge thing opposes us: religion, but everything else gathers us.
Spending time with him is such a pleasure, a peace, a joy.
He is sociable, smart, funny, cultured, interesting, musician, dancer...
I don't know how it happens but progressively he became necessary for me, to have good times,
without him it's different, i can't explain how he makes me feeling so good.

Despite of THE difference, we got closer, learning from each other, a lot.
We see Life from 2 opposite worlds, 2 philosophies, 2 different lots of rules, 2 definitions of Good and Bad.
I like to sum it up like:
he believes in God, i believe in Love; he is guided by Him, i am guided by myself.

I had never met some one (of my age) following this religious life way before.
To me he was an Alien, a drone, brain washed, close minded.
To him i was a free spirit, faithless, Truth ignorant, without limits, without goals.
We were probably right, but now we know each other,
opened ourselves to this difference, understand each other,
love each other without conditions.
I would have NEVER believed I could be friend with someone like that.

Rally

A rally..... a rally is..... driving through the country side in trucks....

finding a good spot....

watching cars passing faaaaaaast..... and screaming sometimes... ( i don't know why)

We can also try to see the cars brands, like Mary-jean. (hummmmmm very interesting )

Basically, the rally is drinking, eating, chating with friends, and looking this way, waiting for cars.....

But it is a very big event in Barbados, i wouldn't criticize !! i'm glad i went, now i know.

Masquerade, Mc Brides, St Lawrence Gap,
(she is on the left for those of you who are still not familiar with her pretty face )

Melissa Porto...
We met this girl at Mc Brides thursday 10th March 2011.
It was so easy to speak with her, smiling, dancing, friendly, open....


Bresilian diplomate's daughter, she used to live in Taiwan, in the US, and she is now in Barbados.
Rich of such a far away life experience from mine, she looks like my sister.
And now i love her like my sister from Bresil.


She is a sun, a breath of happiness, as pretty as smart,
as positive as realistic,as in parties as feet on the earth, one of the best advice giver i have ever met, she understands me,
she was there for me for everything.


THANK YOU MY MEL
