Observations on France:

Some covers of songs just shouldn't be made...

    By Jack Grant

Yesterday while driving to my language lesson, the radio station that I listen to here played a version of "We Will Rock You" that I had never heard before. It was being sung by a child with an English accent (eerily similar to that of Freddy Mercury of Queen) with children backup singers.

Think about it, an 8 year old singing "We Will Rock You".

That was one of the creepiest things I've ever heard. It was just wrong...

We don't handle randomness well.

Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Wahabism must be destroyed.
