A strange langage ?

"Oh yeah ! What's up guy ?!" - "Hey hey ! Qu'est-ce tu racontes mec ? Bien ou bien ?"

Today teenagers speak like this... It's a very "zarbi" langage ! Bad boys, tecktonik killer... Fashion is everywhere and everybody are dressed alike, listen the same music, speak the same langage.

Personnaly, I am not a **FASHION STAR**... I don't want to be like another, I don't want to have the same clothes, the same expressions. And specially, I don't want to dance tecktonik or listen rap because it's the fashion.

Of course I'm a teenager, not an adult so my parents and I don't really have the same expressions... For exemple I always say : "Styyyyyle" or "Geeeeenre" when I don't believe somebody or something and my parents hate that (it's very funny to see that...)

"Bon allez grooos, j'te leave, faut que j'aille ranger ma piaule mec !" (It's just ridiculous to speak like this... Seriously, when you hear a boy who says that, you just want to laugh at him ! ^^)

Just some expressions employed by the teens :

-Waaah mais t'es relou ! (Mais t'es lourd !)

-Mais qu'est-ce tu baves ? (Tu penses à quoi ?)

-Allez prends ta bauge. (Allez prends ton sac/cartable)

-J'en ai marre de ce bahut ! Laisse béton quoi ! (J'en ai marre de ce lycée/collège ! Laisse tombé)

-Comment t'es en mode badage ! (Et beh dis donc, t'es pensif toi. A quoi tu penses ?)

The good time...

Ah ah ! When I see this photo, it makes me smile ! I was sweety with my smile without teeth !

It was the good period of my life... No school, or just some drawings at the nursery school. I could sleep until 10 a.m. and I didn't wake up at 6 a.m. like today.

I think this photo was taken at a photographer because the blue bottom is typical of a photographer's studio. It's an old photo. I was nearly 3 so it was maybe taken in 1997.

It's amazing, I wore old clothes of the 90's and I had curly hair, like today in fact. I don't have really change. Like before, I have brown and curly hair and brown eyes. There is just one difference : Now, I have teeth !

I like this photo. It reminds me the good time !

The fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square

The Fourth Plinth is in the north-west of Trafalgar Square, in central London. Built in 1841, it was originally intended for an equestrian statue but was empty for many years. It is now the location for specially commissioned artworks.

What can I do on this place ? It can be very fun to go there and do what you want. I think this place is very interesting. It's a giant place for imagination, creativity and fun !

If one day I would go there I think I will speak about a lot of things about life, personnality of people, their comportments and their feelings. You know like a big picture of a strange animal, a strange person. A picture where you can have different point of view, a picture which is very mysterious !

I like hearing the different point of view of people. It's very interesting to hear why a person can love something and why another person can't bear this same thing.
