Paris

 James Blunt is celebrating 20 years of "You're Beautiful." People magazine did an article on him and this song. You can check it out here: https://people.com/james-blunt-reveals-youre-beautiful-is-actually-about-stalking-someone-elses-girlfriend-as-inescapable-hit-turns-20-11745455

I love this video. I love this song. 

I love these lyrics:

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you

 

Life is full of choices and coulda moments. I suspect that most people have encountered a situation which could, if embraced, alter your path as I did many years ago while traveling.

 

I was in Paris alone. Can't even remember where in Paris I was. I was walking either in the direction of a museum or a funky shop my usual go-to's. Whatever avenue I was on was crowded and full of vendors.  As I walking up the street toward a stall the vendor - very handsome - and I made eye contact. I was in my late 30s, he appeared to be early 30s. We exchanged smiles and as I passed he asked me (in French none the less) to come back later.  But I didn't . . .

 

Every time I hear this song or see the video (on MTV at the gym) I'm transported back to that moment and that brief exchange. Even after all these years . . .

Dear Mr. President,

 

I'm still waiting for you to behave like a "president". 

 

Even child psychologists are concerned about your behavior. So why don't you stay off of your social media platform, shut the f*ck up, follow the constitution, and try to act like you are the President of the United States of America even if you have to fake it.

 

If you need help, contact me. I will tell you the truth and set you straight.

 

I'm watching you,
