le pourquoi du comment / copper covered golden state - i deleted instagram.

an email to an online friend – you can read it in gmail but i would prefer if you went to my blog. à Giselle, To think that two weeks ago I emailed you saying how I wouldn’t change my profile pic because of something you said, and then i went ahead and did lol. maybe i’ve made a liar out of myself. who knows, I have a tendency of making mountains out of mole hills; I think every detail can…

spaghetti swamps

Hier soir encore, j’étais sur les quais de la Seine. J’ai posé pied dans le triangle de Bermude, Bastille – Saint-Louis – République. Ce matin encore, je me suis réveillé pour éteindre mes alarmes à sept heures avant de me rendormir. le pastis, le tabac, les amis chômeurs. Je me perds dans un refus éternel de penser au lendemain. À quoi ça sert. Cette question encore. Cette semaine encore, j’ai…

a young man's plight

written the 24th of october 2023. but recent events and evolutions in the geopolitical landscape makes this text more pertinent. And since those days in ’23, I have met and made friends with peers who have had to serve. My little brother just signed up for the draft, like I had to that year. Wishing the best to Joji, Joon, Tuval, Alexander & Norgay. “all my male friends are handsome in a way…

concerto di primavera - impromptu impressions

21:19 – chez Christian, Paris – Fri 4.4.25 – paexa Finding myself at l’Area as always after work, Abdess & Alfa invited me to Christian’s concert night, beginning a mere 45 minutes later. Christian Lawson, a tremendous piano player who blows me away with his compositions, was taking advantage of the spring’s return to host his piano nights again. I have already had the privilege of finding…

l'hypocrisie des crétins

17:42 – l’Area – Thu 15.01.25 – paexa – 1/B First one here. Edouard invited me in but I declined, preferring to stay in the blissful cold, guarding the door, smoke in hand. Lucie starts back here next wednesday. Monsieur Georges et Monsieur Paul walk in. Edouard ressort acheter le pain. J’ai fini mes partiels un peu trop tôt ; peut-être que j’aurais dû rentrer à la maison. Eliott m’a dit qu’en…

Pub Crawl Burnouts in Ljubljana

a story about a traveler, by a traveler, for a traveler. What I remember the most about my three days with Sam was her departure. The fun & witty girl I had met at the end of May was quiet and tired. Much like you, she was traveling through southern Europe alone, with no clue when her next paychecks would land, locked out of her bank account, homesick & harassed, and still no return ticket…

Deutsche Nächte sind die kältesten

07:37 – train from Koblenz to Trier – Sondag, 3.11.24 – eqecb – 2/B A near empty train station at 5 am. There are some transient places that are welcoming in the middle of the night. Whether because of the lights and heating still being on like in airports, or the close proximity with other weary travelers that fosters a sense of camaraderie like in bus stations. But Koblenz Haufbahnhof did not…

Carnet n°24 : Un homme Moderne est un homme qui se donne le Temps.

(11.10.24/16.11.24) Autumn.The cold air & nights still hit like a train after 15 years. In Halloween fashion, I see ghosts everywhere. My body a flesh prison, my insatiable ambitious will unfortunately beholden to the needs of this biological machine: I need to rest. I feel haunted. Perhaps I have been too nostalgic, my psyche drains itself, flushing down memories systematically every night…

Le premier café des spépés - le contrat social

Un moment d’échange entre scientifiques, philosophes, économistes, & politiciens européens. Initially called Le café des économistes, I held two meetings this past year with Leonardo & Vincent, who were beginning their Masters at La Sorbonne. It was a moment to confront their impressive knowledge of economic theory to my more practical experiences as a student in business school. Our meetings…

🌲The Recycling Party🌲

“Recycling emojis GO HARD ♻️♻️♻️🔛🔝” – Beerwind 2024 the idea of Man vs Nature is worth nothing in the face of Man within Nature. Nature operates in ecosystems, but humanity has fundamentally upset that balance. Equally capable of bringing in material life/objects into reality, we are tremendous producers.But whereas the worm digests soil & vultures pick at carrion, humans have nowhere near…

WEEST WAAKZAAM!

These two gentlemen, Tjelling & Charlie, protest here every Wednesday. Their organisation, founded by an older woman who unfortunately couldn’t attend that day, are fighting the rising prevalence of the far-right by standing in public and engaging passerbys. Their signs read:“THE RADICAL RIGHT IS A DANGER TO DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS! BE VIGILANT!” “Every Wednesday demonstrate against the…

Winesburg, Ohio

19:43 – Gare de l’Est – Wed 18.09.24 – 5/B – akepp – Joe Mihlson was on the road again. Eastbound, headed towards Strasbourg. His train was at 19:42, his seat number 42, wagon 18. He liked the number 42, some rumored it to be the answer to all the universe’s questions. That wasn’t why he was fond of it however. Four summers prior, when he was only just 19, he & two other misanthropic lonely…

Aesthetics of the Capitalocene

14:49 – La Défense – Wed 28.08.24 – 2/C – akepp Seven young men huddled around a dying beetle. Lovely green & shiny yellow. One kid couldn’t even recognize it as a beetle, insisting « Mais les gars, c’est une punaise ! ». I was shocked he couldn’t recognize something as standard as ein Käfer, the most abundant creature on Earth. (40% of all insects, and 25% of all known animal species are…

FAPHAV et ses 22 ans

Juillet – mois d’AKTION éCRASANTE & éPUISANTE : c’est la moisson. Par le plus gros des hasards bâtards qu’on ne livre qu’aux étudiants et surtout nous les connards en école de commerce, l’été dernier j’avais 4 ans de vacances. On ne les méritaient pas. La dernière fois que j’eu tant de temps libre, j’étais en couches ; la prochaine fois je serais retraité. Cette année, je suis sur-occupé.…

Für mich, for Michael

00:18 – La Fourmi, Eliott au bar, Paris – Sun 01.09.24 – 4/A – eqecb Augusts have always been my father’s. Until the pandemic, I had spent eighteen summers back home with him. A myriad of Kuglers, their birthdays all falling in line behind the matriarch’s. The 14th, the 23rd, the 25th & 27th. The only other summer celebrations belonged to two scorned eldests, at either end of the season, June…

Paris fêtes les jeux

La dernière fois que j’étais ici, j’ai jugé fort Paris et ses jeux. Mais maintenant ce soir, je dois exprimer mes excuses et regrets. Les enfants aux barres asymétriques, les collegiens au terrain de basket. Deux lycéennes s’entraînent au badminton, des étudiants flânants sur la pelouse ensoleillée. Un quatuor d’hommes vers la trentaine jouent à la petanque (comme d’hab). Les agents de la…
