hehe yeah i forgot: i live in quebec, canada. where snow is almost a tradition.
last year was especially great to me
quebec city received like 5 meters of snow in a winter.

i was damn happy with all that snow. i love watching snow coming down.
just speaking about this little thing makes me feel happy, thinking about it coming soon.

i find it soooooo beautiful.

and you might have heard of the quebec *crise du verglas/ice storm*on year 1998, where our province was completely blackout for a whole month.

i honestly gotta say it was the best time in my life.
some people heard that people died from co2 while trying to make a fire in their house... those didn't try to get help from others. we were about 20 in my little house here, everyone doing it's part. the sad part is that many trees got broken under the ice weight, but it was really a very beautiful time. of course i was happy not having school for a month, but still. a whole month with my family, having fun, eating on the fireplace, and just by our body heat we kept the house quite hot, but my grand father was the one, at 5am, putting wood in the fireplace. this reminds me sooo many good moments. most people say this winter was a disaster, but it was to me, a lot more like an event that had to happen to *create solidarity* among humans, but i see now that it worked for about a month. now we are back to me myself and i state.

it explains some things about it, yes montreal was out only for 5 days, but i was from january 5-6 to february 5-6 too.
the end of the video is to me, big fear mongering, but this explains a little in english how it was here. though the 30 dead people were all from montreal, trying to light fires in their small homes, instead of looking for someone who could safely heat themselves. that is a good way to show you how solidarity can do good things.

seeing ice on the trees, which didn't break, was soo beautiful. i adds something magic in the physical dimension. it's just water, but to me, gives another beauty to the eye.

anyway, if some people don't like winter, and there are a lot in quebec, then why can't they go away and leave where they want? i do love winter, and i will live where i feel good, and i feel very good at home, with my snow.

and yes, mother nature puts a beautiful surrounding where plants can sleep, as well as grass is covered by a layer of white snow. nature is just perfectly arranged. it may be in a physical dimension, but once again, it is so beautiful physically, that i can really believe it has a special meaning. i have never seen the desert but i do believe it is pretty beautiful to see too. and honestly, i hate watching tall buildings and many artificial stuff. big cities do not attract me at all. i'd rather live in the woods like shaun ellis.
