Choices

Helllooooo....

Sitting in the train this morning... I chose to take the train because it is a bit more comfortable to work, the landscape around the tracks are more interesting than Champlain bridge and there is always room in the parking lot (as opposed to to the bus terminal where I got a warning last week because I was double parked and they don't seem to like that for some reason). Yesterday, I chose not to talk about the choice most Canadian citizen of a certain age and above had the right to make. I didn't even check what that choice was for the majority, do you know? Or is it a minority again? Anyway... I'm not sure it will make that much a difference... Ho well... At least that's how I see it, and I at least have the right to have an opinion...

But those are not the choices I want to talk about this morning... Almost a week ago, I made the choice to try and see if I could talk to you on a regular basis (so far so good, a little more than a post a day on average). In my French blog (MADeries), I talk about the usage of our time, and I describe it as the only actual choice we make (if you can't read French, try out the little translation gadget on the side, you might not understand it much more than French, but you could get a good laugh :-0).

A friend of mine was telling me yesterday that instead of investing my precious time in writing a blog, I should complete the edits I started doing to my novel after the publisher rejection (4-5 years ago already :-O), and finally get it published. I could also start doing short films for Kino again, make more photography or go back to music (I have been offered the bass player position in the "Turn it on again" Genesis tribute lately, and I turned it down, not enough time).It is true that those other interests of mine are a little harder to do on a train or bus ride. But writing... Whether it is this blog, short stories, short film or my novel... Yeah, I have the choice...

Ho, and work... Yeah, I shouldn't forget work... I told you about that a few posts ago... I have the luxury of having a job that I can take with me almost anywhere (as long as the MacBook battery last long enough and that I have access to Wifi once in a while)... I actually got a little behind my usual productivity lately because of some choices I made... So now, I will choose to stop babling here, save the text and get working... We are about half way between my train stop and the downtown terminus, so this should be fair (I'm addicted to fairness, did you know that?)...

So I hope you have a very good day, night or whatever moment you choose to read this stuff I push through the keyboard... And I wish you will make the right choices, today, tomorrow and for the rest of your life... We are allowed to make the wrong choices once in a while, but we must learn from it and move on (OK, there might be some fixing, cleaning up and appologies needed too, but that's another story, maybe ina future post?)... There is one choice I made a long time ago that I have been trying to share with as many people as I can, and I take every opportunity I have to remind the people around me about it... Choose to HAVE FUN!!!!

Ho, we are crossing the train bridge besides Mercier bridge, it is always an interesting sight when the sun is shining. This morning is a little shady, but there is enough sunligth reflected on the river below the bridge to make me stop writing...
