voulevous?

Awhile back I worked on a Flash project with a guy who lives in New Caledonia (which is a French colony in the South Pacific, in case you didn't know). So, his native language is French, but he can speak/write some broken English, so we were able to communicate.

After we finished up that project, we kept in touch saying hello on IM every once and awhile. He had started a blog, too, but because is it's written entirely in French, I couldn't understand any of it! So I happened to run it through Google's translator and then bookmarked it, thinking I'd try to pop in every once & awhile and get a glimpse into what he's up to over there.

Well, as you can imagine the automatic translator can only do so much, and so what comes out is sooo funny! Check it out:
Hop, the next morning, small dej. Ooops, I did not take small a dej. Could I take a little milk to you? Thank you. Some biscuits? Still thank you...
Once the swallowed last, us here is assembling the "ground of volleyball". Indeed a friend had bought a net of volleyball so that one can be made a "beach volleyball". But the bag of it contained but much more thing makes, as by exmple of the flags to mark the corners... In short!


And I love this one.. it's like some kind of alien wisdom:

Do it, take time. One calm moment, or time will not be counted to you in an environment favourable with relieving. Say me in comment if you succeeded in finding your goals and if they correspond to your current life. If so, you are lucky, if not like the majority of us, keep hope...
