... Says Tommy in Goodfellas."As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster.""As far back as I can remember (or at least, up to 10 months ago), I've always wanted to be a weblog designer."

the dissident frogman, Somewhere in, France 2003.
I know, thank to my precious friend Carine that some among my most esteemed and not less precious American audience were alarmed by the tone of my recent posts and worried about the morale in the dacha behind enemy lines.
This goes straight to my heart and I shall never thank you enough for caring, for your friendship and continuous support since the birth of this site.
I want to set your minds at rest though: the morale is as high as it can be when you're stuck in a so-called Western liberal democracy where a violent minority of leftist thugs alongside illegitimate trotskyist trade-unions take the street, obstruct the country's progression, attempt to people's freedom of circulation and right to work, riot in the street to impose inconsistent arguments and opinions and where the Communist congressmen sing the Internationale probably waiting to bag the Assemblée Nationale to the "peace" activists who demonstrated on its parvis, a bit more than two months ago, so they can offer their expertise in gulag, laogai and other death camps planned management for the bearded totalitarianism.
All right, not sure I set your mind at rest, but oddly enough, mine is.
To identify the problem accurately, is also to fix it partly, right?
Well, sort of.
D-Day is coming. That's D for "Dramatics".
As you may remember, I have a role in a play.
The premiere is Saturday.
I also created the soundtrack, the music and the setting so Saturday will be a tough day, assembling the set early in the morning, adjusting the lightning, testing the sound with the director, messing around with a photographer genuinely enthusiastic but a bit... "dispersed" sometimes, who also happen to be my younger brother, a general rehearsal in the mid afternoon... And then the show.
In other news, I just had my passport sent to the local Soviet for renewal. I may tell you more about that later since, as usual when the dissident frogman is set on a collision course with the French Administration, that was truly epic.
And it's not exactly over yet so I'll wait to live the end of the story before telling you.
I needed a valid passport to be able to accept a terrific invitation from several famous bloggers. They'll be launching a new weblog collective that's already being created from the flesh and blood (Yeah, literally) of your devoted dissident frogman.
I hope you'll enjoy the logotype as much as I enjoyed the haemorrhage to design it anyway.
I was told that there were other projects they would like to discuss as well - And we're talking about business here, for which I'm always open.
But don't ask. I can't tell.
One of them owns a fearsomely sharp mediaeval blade and wouldn't hesitate to use it - or so I believe.
