Around Ireland - Desproges

Around Ireland
I've done a bot of travel around Ireland these days, and finally git a chance to take a look at the Hill of Tara (or Hill of King).

And going further in Irish history, I visited other sites (older than the Egyptian pyramids). First Newgrange:

The site is protected by the OPW and the UNESCO.


DESPROGES
Re-discover some mp3 of Desproges on my hard drive. Fabulous, even if I've become a too optimistic person to fully appreciate it now :-P (Official website in French: http://www.desproges.fr/ ).

Quotations of the day:
  • Tout dans la vie est une affaire de choix. Ca commence par la tétine ou le téton, ça se termine par le chêne ou le sapin.

*Everything in life is a matter of choice. It starts with "pacifier or breasts ?", it ends with "Oak or pine ?"

  • Le but de l’homme moderne sur cette terre est à l’évidence de s’agiter sans réfléchir dans tous les sens, afin de pouvoir dire fièrement, à l’heure de sa mort : « Je n’ai pas perdu mon temps. »

*The goal of modern man on Earth is obviously to run around aimlessly and without a thought, just so he can proudly say, on his death bed : "I did not waste my time".


At the end of the day

At the end of the day things stay even, in France one death (some member of the family) today and last week one birth (some friend)....
