Bright Lights



This is one of my favorite songs from Placebo. Their new drummer is great I think, better than the old one. The bassist of the band, Stefan Olsdal, is really like my idol.

The Chamber of Desires



On this picture we can see (from the left to the right) the scientist, the writer, and the stalker in the Chamber of Desires. This is a bit before the physics teacher and the stalker fight.

The Writer



This is the most famous picture of the Writer, who wears a crown of thorns like the Christ, because he thinks that he's going to sacrifice himself for the happiness of the human kind.

The stalker



This is a picture of the stalker in the film of Andreï Tarkovski. We can also see the mysterious dog living in the Zone which will follow him everywhere.

Stalker - The Movie



"Stalker" is a movie from Andreï Tarkovski, who realized it in 1979. It's based on the book of Arkadi and Boris Strougatsky, "Piknik na obochine" or "Stalker" too, and tells the story of a man, a stalker, who is a guide for people who want to discover the Zone. The Zone is a very strange place, where veeeery bizarre events have taken place a few years ago. Maybe an extra-terrestrian visit, or a nuclear catastrophe... People don't know, but one only thing is sure about the Zone : nobody lives there, but a mysterious dog which will be adopted by the stalker, and it is so dangerous that a lot of people die every day while trying to reach the Chamber of Desires.
The Chamber of Desires is a place which is hidden somewhere in the Zone and that you can't reach using the same way everytime, if you can find it (and if you stay alive, of course) and which allows people to make one only wish that will be accomplished.
In the movie, we follow the stalker, who escorts through the Zone a physics teacher, who secretely wants to reach the Chamber of Desires to destroy it because he doesn't want it to fall into wrong hands, and a writer who wants to recover his passed glory and the truth in his capacities. But the stalker never wants to make a wish, because the only thing that makes him happy is to roam the Zone and to help people to find themselves and to get a better life, and so he's going to fight and argue with the physics teacher to dissuade him to negate the Chamber.

"Stalker" is one of my favorite films, because everytime I watch it I can't help thinking about the meaning of life and the different comportements of human kind. And it's thanks to this movie that I decided to do everything that I can to try to help people to feel better and to stop looking back at what happened in the last years, to focus on my present life and go ahead.

Running to the Edge of the World



"Running to the Edge of the World" is a song from the last album of Marilyn Manson, The High End of Low, released in May 2009 in North America.
Marilyn Manson, originally called Brian Hugh Warner, is a rock and metal singer. He was born on the fifth of May 1969 in Canton, in Ohio. He is very controversial for using blaspheme and provocation in his songs, so he had a lot of problems whith religious and political autorities.
I began listening to this singer when I was 11, with his most famous song "Sweet Dreams" and I think that he's really expressive and talentious. I went to one of his concerts two years ago and I was very impressed, and now I can truly say : This man is fabulous.

Romy



This is a picture of Romy, who was more than my best friend when she was still "alive". We met when I was 12 and she 14, at our riding school, and "severed" nine months ago, after many tensions. She made me discover the band Placebo and my passion for the writing comes from her.
She had a sort of "accident", and later thought that I was responsible of it, whereas she never remembered who I was, because now, she is more like an empty shell than like a human, and it seems like she were dead.
I think she was and still is the most important person in my life (although she wants me to disappear, in fact.)
