FUZZY VOX - MAN OF SOLUTION

Just something I wanted to share, a video that can bring a smile to anyone's face just by simply watching it. It's a catchy song, stays in your head for a couple of hours and honestly makes you feel happy!

 

The reason why I actually posted this video is because the lead singer is a friend of mine. I only met him last year and what is more interesting for me is the fact that I correct his lyrics (you may have noticed that he doesn't sing in French but has gotten ridden of the accent!) This young group has already gone far, and is already on tour. Their song 1789 is being used for the Hollywood Chewing Gum advert at the moment and they are starting to play alongside big well-known groups in France. Their last album was mixed by a musician rom the group The Hives and I'm probably sure they will go far.

Go check them out!

Do a good deed

My Bucket List: Task #5

This task, I must say, made me feel a better person. I recommend strongly that each and every one of us do this. Either it be on a bucket list or not. This is THE thing to do and restores faith in humanity.

I spent a good amount of time thinking what for a good deed I could possibly do. At that time, there was this trend going about on Facebook, a challenge where one would have to jump into water and then choose three other people to do so. Those three people then had 48 hours to film themselves getting wet, otherwise they would have to pay for a lovely meal in a restaurant for the one who nominated them. A nice and friendly challenge. Yes, yes, I was one of those people who jumped into a lake in order to not pay for a meal (but it didn't really count, it was too hot that day, so that person did me a huge favour actually).

But then I saw this video on YouTube, of a man saying that his challenge was to help someone in need. He went up to a homeless person and asked if they would like to eat something. Just to mention, in France, in some jobs, you receive food vouchers which can pay for any food or meals. So he gives this homeless person a ticket per day for him to buy food and keep himself well nourished.

I thought of that to be a good idea and decided myself to do something similar. I took a blanket that I had, made two big baguette sandwiches and put 3 apples, a yoghurt with a plastic spoon  and a bottle of water in a plastic bag and went to give it to a homeless man whom I have walk by several times since I have been here in Graz. I gave him the bag and to be honest, I have never seen someone with so much gratitude! I felt awkward and happy at the same time. I felt good to have been able to help someone for the day. I knew I had done something for someone who was in need. I didn't film myself doing this, a sign of respect towards this man. But I strongly advise everybody to do the same.

If you can't help someone by sparing them a coin, give them at least a meal.

Vacuum the lawn.

My Busket List: Task #4

Now this task might seem stupid, but I guarantee you that it was the one that made me laugh the most. What I had to do was vacuum the lawn, because when people walk or drive by, they look at you in a strange manner.

I managed to fulfil this task beautifully because I live in a neighbourhood with lots of old folk who love to stare into other people's gardens. Especially my garden, bizarrely. So this task fitted the situation per-fect-ly!

I got vacuum cleaner out, an extension cable to make sure I could go up near the front of the garden where people could see me, and of course, it was one of those lovely days when people decide to go for a walk around where I live. Wouldn't it seem too tempting for you too?
So, I started hovering and that's when I started to get the looks. Oh those looks! Ooh how wonderful it was to get those weird looks! I laughed internally, but boy was it hard to stay serious!
The best remark as "Youth nowadays... They've completely lost their minds and now I'm seeing things!" I just smiled and continued with my duty. But someone must have complained to my neighbour, fore she came around quickly and unplugged my hoover and said that I have gone mad. That was until I explained to her what I was doing. She laughed and told me to write this down immediately. Not to forget, I've left my footprints in that neighbourhood, to the point that no one will forget "the girl who vacuumed the lawn".
