Hey Everyone!
Soooo, I continue my saga from yesterday in a rather rapid manner as I have to meet my dear friend for lunch very soon. No internet connection in my apartment here so I am frequenting the local cafe which has an internet connection and a hefty coffee price of 5.50 euros…OUCH! Makes Starbucks prices in California look good! I’m becoming quite the local here. Everyone recognizes me now and greets me…and of course, they are all men. I never see girls in here…oh maybe it’s a gay cafe!!! No, I’m sure not…They are definitely straight with a gleam in their eyes when they see me!
Last month I considered making my diary available to members only…Hey, I need members!!! But then, I reconsidered….I don’t know why I reconsidered. I just did. But, if you are not a member, maybe you’ll consider joining!!!
So, here we go with my saga…I really wanted to set up a sponsored match with Nadege while I’m in Paris. I love coming here, but it’s expensive. I can’t afford to be on holiday. So I need to be creative and make videos while I’m here. Well that’s not happening this time. Why? Because I contacted Nadege and made her an offer which she agreed to. She was happy to come to Paris and we would have a great competitive match and shoot another video together and then have dinner and spend some time catching up. But the guy who I rent the mats from (I refrain from mentioning his name because he is friends with Steve of Steve’s Wrestling Adventures, with whom I have a close working relationship. So I don’t want to cause trouble between them). well, this guy has decided that I was out of line in contacting Nadege myself and that the offer I made her was insulting to her. That was not the case. Nadege and I will work together soon. She is anxious to wrestle with me and me with her! It will happen and will be well worth the wait. More on that later…
Needless to say I was very upset to not have wrestling mats here and I lashed out at Steve on the phone regarding his friend. I think I need to think about things. Rethink!!! I am learning over and over that there are very few people that I can rely on in life. In fact, I can count them out on a few fingers. At least I need more than one hand to count them….so perhaps I’m lucky!!! I’m sure others can count their friends on one hand. So at this point in time, I don’t know if I’ll be shooting any videos here in Paris. I need to phone Steve and have a chat. But I need another couple of days to think things through before I do that…
Yesterday, I went running in the park. It was a cloudy day but I wanted to clear some of the jetlag out of my systerm. Uggg…first lap around, I tripped on a rock and did a slow motion fly through the air…one of those falls where you can’t recover but it seems to be going so slowly. Well, I landed hard but rolled so it wasn’t bad. Just a bit humiliating. Got up. Brushed myself off. I don’t know if anyone even saw me. The park was pretty empty. Then I finished my run, doing about 4 miles and then went off to the Marais for a yoga class…
Today it’s sunny. Cold and sunny! But I love the sun! It cheers me up. So on a positive note, I’m off to join my chum for lunch.
Guess what? I may write more tomorrow.
Peace and Love,
