4 cops armed from head to toe with bulletproof jackets stopped a car yesterday during daytime at 16:50 just at the corner of my “boulervard”. I was riding my bike on my way to the park. They thoroughly checked the back of the car. I did not linger and watch like others. Violence is real in my city, I can see it everyday.
I am betting that someday, they will arrest the “Caid” in my building. He seems harmless and he does “soft business” but he does not seem normal. The sad thing is he has a very young kid. I do not like much this kid however his big brother looks kind and well educated so maybe the little thing will turn out as kind.

They should be moving in this weekend. Diep, the father is 58 years old. He will be with his daughter and his wife. Their son has moved out already. He told me that they are in the process of buying an apartment but they already sold their current house. They have to wait for 9 months before they could move in again to their new apartment if all goes as planned.
He only bought an apartment with his wife. They do not have enough money to buy a separate house and they are too old for a long term mortgage. He also mentioned about returning back to Vietnam or Laos and retire somewhere cheaper than France. When I told him about people renting in the building, he also confessed that his previous neighbors was an “Arab” but a bad “one” who worked 1 year in his life and who lived on the french welfare with his 4 kids. Life was not easy with people like that he said.
I do share his view and my goal is to stay few years in my studio then move out to another place. I really would love to work at home with my current job. I really have no reason to be in an office at all. All I need is a decent internet connection.

What do I expect from life, what do I want to do from here?
My Answer: I do not know and I do not care! Horrible answer but so true!

I really hate these type of dreams. I usually end up in some kind of a maze and I have to get out. The mind always offers an explanation to get out and I have the impression that it was logical or somehow that I was in control. However, at the end of the road I cannot find my way back somehow I was in the same room. Then I would wake up, being very upset and frustrated.

Good results this week:
1. The stolen bike is back and the Arab couple is happy. The Arab couple lives together but the man and the woman do not have the same name. it is a bit weird since she wears the burqa (not full face hidden, just the hair).
2. The Vietnamese father seems happy, he finally got the heater fixed and he admitted that I was right saying that his apparatus was probably out of order due to inactivity the last 6 months. His internet should work in a week also.
3. Finally, the front door is fixed after 44 days.
I am trying to request a locker for the room reserved for bikes. The descriptions mentioned one and there is a just a hole there at the moment. My chances to get one is tiny but I still asked for it :).
I really do not know why but I do not like the fat kid at all: stupid ugly fat ass that is all that I see in him. I hope that he will stop stealing in the building.

I helped this viet family the other day. The father had enough wits to ask questions and he asked the right person in the building. He called me today to explain all the trouble he had to follow my advices because they are shortcuts to the regular bullshit people get when they try to connect internet to our building.
The father’s name is PHAM Quang-Diep. He is a programmer and he is making good money. I think he is about 45ish years old. I tend to dislike asian people because I know what they have in mind but somehow he seems more french than most viet I know.
I am still very biasied when it comes to judge people but I started to change a bit my vision: some arabs, blacks and viets around here are quite nice. The majority still falls under my biaised vision though. I really cannot help it!

So today the couple whose bike was stolen and the Adams family without the fat boy stopped by. The Adams parents wanted to see the videos with their own eyes.
Saturday it was the fat boy
Tuesday it was the cops
What next?
These webcams are recording days and nights and so many strange things will happen on this boulevard. This town is full of surprises. What worries me is that six people in the building know that I have these videos.

At 22:32, three policemen stopped a car in front of my building and they did a regular routine check, probably to scare the dealer in the car. Something funny happened then. One of them noticed my wall with my 4 big screens. They checked my wall for few sec. Of course, they did not khow that they were recorded by my webcam.

Slowly but surely, I get to know people of good will in my building. Sometimes it is surprising to discover some of them and it is even a bigger surprise to discover that one of them is not.
The “Adams” family is a mixed case scenario. Indeed, a couple living in the building came to ask me for help. Their bike was stolen. The video recording confirmed that on Saturday (11/10/2014) at 11:32 am, the fat boy came in with his bike and at 11:37 am the fat boy left on another bike. They already knew who it was because the fat boy came to ask them several times about that bike and he even made the mistake to throw away the security on the bike and he was caught.
My simple advice to the couple: “The fat boy is only 11 years old, please discuss with his parents”. I do not mind confirming with the videos if required but I asked the couple to take their time to discuss with the parents first.
In the whole story, I discovered their own struggle with the current building and they did not know about my fight. I gave them the link to my blog and asked them to join me. It would make things simpler.
