10 days
-16, but blue sky.
10 minutes standing near the snow, trying to get a sun tan.
10 days without sport.
I realized two things in the past years.
The first thing is that I am really a choco-addict. Oh, no, do not laugh. This is serious. Few years ago, I spent some time in a country where it's hard to find chocolate, far away from cities. After 1 month, all my stocks of chocolate were empty. I did not pay attention to it, but after 3 weeks, one month without eating chocolate, I was not feeling as usual. I missed someting. That was not physical activity, because I was outside everyday, in beautiful landscapes, with sunny sky, like on the picture (hello to Americans by the way), and beautiful mountains. And, suddenly, I realized that may be the problem was chocolate. And I finally received a big Nutella pot, and believe me, that was one of the best moment in my life. This day I realized that my body, my brain, needed chocolate.
Another story about chocolate. A friend of mine bought me a Nutella pot (yes, I LOVE nutella, despite all the bad things inside of it, if I believe someone close to me, who is a little bit extemist for bio food :-))), just before leaving for a raid in the jungle. I was ready to carry this 750 g pot in my bag during one week, to get a spoon of Nutella every day, after the hard walks in the jungle. But, just before leaving for the raid, the pot falled down and broke !! I was totally depressed ! Believe me, all the snakes could bite me or eat me, I did not care :-)
The second thing is that I am sport addicted. How, I see you smiling, thinking that it's a good thing and why should I complain (in fact I do not complain :-)). Well, you see, of course it's good for health, but only if you can practise sports. Because, when you cannot, when you have not been sweating since days, when your muscles have not been working hard to run fast, or climb hard ... well, then, believe me, you do not feel well. You sleep bad, you are upset with silly details you wouldn't pay attention to it usually. And finally you are sad, not funny, and people are wondering what's happenning. Of course, if you just tell them that it's because you have not been practising sports since 10 days, people look at you as a foolish, crazy guy !
And that's reality. I am a junkie, with chocolate and sports, and believe me, every addiction has its dark side.
I do not include surfing in these addictions, because, as it 's already been mentionned on this blog :
"surfing is life, rest is detail".
So surfing is not an addiction, this is the real life.
