live your dreams: May 2009

http://bonster-for-peace.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Friday, 15 May 2009. Bertinchen chronicles – season 2, episode umpteen. Him: il y a probleme avec le volant-moteur; il faut le remplacer. Me : c’est quoi le volant-moteur? Him : vous ne connaissez-pas le volant-moteur? With an incredulous undertone). Never mind, tomorrow at 3 pm your car will be ready I was told. sweet – all in time for the holidays! I never claimed to be a socialist – but does that mean that I don’t care what happens to people with lesser capacities? I guess the one thing that I have le...

live your dreams: March 2010

http://bonster-for-peace.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Monday, 22 March 2010. Something. well, there is little to do. And yet I can't say I have been bored in the last 2 years. maybe because adventure always finds me. take any story you want - as boring as can be - add a car meltdown and you get the idea of what my life is like :-). The party was great fun - dancing on the beach, whilst the waves roll onto the shore in the background. in the dark it felt like we were actually by the sea. and I miss the sea. He put it on speaker and told the caller that he wa...

live your dreams: you can't.make.this.shit.up.

http://bonster-for-peace.blogspot.com/2010/04/you-cantmakethisshitup.html

Monday, 19 April 2010. You can't.make.this.shit.up. There are people who pay a lot of money to go through adventures like the ones we seem to attract. and you are most probably not going to believe this story; but seriously: you can't make this shit up. There are a lot of tse tse flies in the park and we have been stung badly by them before, so I got out the mosquito net fabric which we promptly taped to the windows so we wouldn't need to drive up the hill in a sauna box. and we were off. And just tape t...

live your dreams: November 2009

http://bonster-for-peace.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 24 November 2009. Never a dull moment. My housemate said to me last night that I had too much action in my life. what do you mean? I asked. 'well, you never do anything without bringing a story back; and not just a beautiful-butterfly-on-a-seldom-yellow-flower story, but stuff always happens to you'. Turns out the brand new timing belt was worn to shreds, again. urgh, again. The next morning the venue for the retreat was a technical school which includes a garage - jackpot. I drove the car s...

live your dreams: October 2009

http://bonster-for-peace.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Monday, 19 October 2009. Ever had a racing car for breakfast? We won't know the difference. Well, we were. I found the receipt two minutes later and believe it or not we'd purchased a jar of cheap honey at the price of a racing car. well - so much for wanting to save money. Not only the humans were having a blissful time! Posted by the bonster. Wednesday, 14 October 2009. 45 lessons of life. 1 Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 2 When in doubt, just take the next small step. 11 Make peace with your pa...

live your dreams: September 2010

http://bonster-for-peace.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Monday, 13 September 2010. Your real duty is to preserve your dream…. I bought a post card with this quote on it a long time ago. And it has been on display in all my rooms I have had since. I have, in fact, spent quite some time mulling that statement over: does it mean, you should always have a dream, any dream? Or does it mean you should always have at least one dream that just is your dream, but which you never actually realise? When do you decide it’s the right time? Ever since I got my car I have b...

live your dreams: chadventures

http://bonster-for-peace.blogspot.com/2010/05/chadventures.html

Saturday, 22 May 2010. This is possibly the first post in literally years that will not focus on a car melt-down - but everything else is pretty much melting down, or simply melting. After two and a half years in rwanda I have to admit I am getting ready to leave that country; have even been considering moving back to europe because I feel I have reached saturation point - for now. The closer we got to n'djamena the more yellow the landscape became; I started imagining the heat down there, the dryness, t...

live your dreams: July 2009

http://bonster-for-peace.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, 30 July 2009. Where are you from? And does it really matter? And so I have spent most of my time here speaking spanish for instance; totally adapting to the spanish spanish accent to the point where I like it - I used to think it was harsh and spanish people prentencious. the ones I've met here are neither. Well, certainly not me. but here we go - it's really just another excuse to have a party ;-). Posted by the bonster. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Where are you from? And does it really matter?
