SUMMER 2024 - 

By Bernard Bujold -

Even in the summer, I love the gym because, unlike cycling or jogging outside, it's inviting all year round, rain or shine! And even on vacation, I like to say there's always a gym somewhere... 

Have a great summer 2024!

MY BIRTH ANNIVERSARY 2024

MY BIRTH ANNIVERSARY 2024 - 
By Bernard Bujold -
I love my birth anniversary. I use it every year to review my life, past, present, and time to come. I was born on June 28, the same date as Elon Musk… 
On my birthday, I like to be surrounded by my passions, some in reality, others through the imagination and dreams. In the end, life is a journey, and the boundary between reality and fantasy is a fine line, whether it's for achievements or failures; joys and sorrows; daring and fears; or hopes and regrets. Moreover, my life experiences have taught me that the journey of life never unfolds as planned... I estimate that 90% of life's choices will end up as mere memories and anecdotes forgotten over time. That leaves 10% that will become important after the passage of time. 
Happy summer 2024, and thank you for your birthday wishes to me... 
NOTE: I received a wonderful gift from Donald Trump who gave me a historic and memorable debate on CNN. I'm a happy man!

THE 2024 DEBATE - DONALD TRUMP AND JOE BIDEN -

 

THE 2024 DEBATE - DONALD TRUMP AND JOE BIDEN -
By Bernard Bujold- 

Joe Biden collapsed in his first confrontation with Donald Trump! 
I was convinced before the Thursday, June 27 debate that an external element was needed for Trump to win. For example, announcing a strong vice-presidential candidate a few hours before the debate would have captured all the media attention in his favor. 
But Donald Trump didn't need such an event, and Joe Biden's display of his profound physical aging completely handed victory to his opponent. You could say that Biden fell to the mat and never got up again... 
Observers say that Democratic Party leaders are now in high panic mode and that their first act of survival will be to try to replace Joe Biden with 129 days to go before the November 5 presidential election.

THE DEBATE OF JUNE 27, 2024 -

THE DEBATE OF JUNE 27, 2024- 
By Bernard Bujold - 
The only way for one candidate to win tonight's debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden is by a big announcement before the event. The more the announcement is out of the expectations, the more will be the win. If I were Donald Trump, I would announce my vice president candidate and choose Nikki Haley! Doing it just before the debate would take all the attention and nothing said during the debate would capture the news on Friday morning and the days after. But, I am not Donald Trump and will only be one watcher with some of my friends among the well over 70 million TV viewers…

JUNE 27, 2024

JUNE 27, 2024 - 
By Bernard Bujold -
Thursday, June 27 could be the most important date of the summer of 2024! All observers agree that the debate between Joe Biden (81 years) and Donald Trump (78 years) could determine the vote on November 5. Both opponents are at risk! On the one hand, the incumbent president will have to demonstrate his vital energy, while the ex-president defeated in 2020 will have to rein in his angry energy... 
The June 27 debate will be a battle revenge for the 2020 match.

POPE FRANCIS AND TRUE LOVE

POPE FRANCIS AND TRUE LOVE... 
By Bernard Bujold - 
The good Pope Francis is at loggerheads with the homosexual community, while in his private conversations, he allegedly uses popular and insulting terms (street language) to identify their community. Pope Francis also says, with regard to homosexuals, that you have to know how to distinguish between true love and false love. Then always choose the true one... 
The Pope did not explain the meaning of his comment...

DONALD SUTHERLAND (1935-2024)

DONALD SUTHERLAND (1935-2024) -

By Bernard Bujold - 

I've always confused actor Donald Sutherland with Christopher Plummer (1929-2021)... 

I'm a big fan of his son Kiefer Sutherland, but I've never really taken to his father's films, even though he's unequivocally a great actor! 

Photographically, to my eye, Donald Sutherland physically resembles Quebec actor Mars Labrèche...

Anyway, I hate it when the great people of my time leave!

The 2024 summer season arrives at 4:50 p.m. EDT on Thursday, June 20. In reality, summer has already chased spring since the start of the week, with a heatwave that is aggressive, to say the least! 
Happy summer and long live the sea and palm trees...

I AM: CELINE DION

I AM: CELINE DION-
By Bernard Bujold -  I didn't go to see the documentary film I AM: CÉLINE DION at Montreal Place des Art because I hate crowds... 
It must be my aging! 
I'll probably see it on June 25 on PRIME, Amazon's video service. 
Critics are divided: many are deeply touched by Céline's courage to reveal herself, but others are embarrassed that the artist would display her illness in this way. 
As much as I deeply admired René Angélil and his Céline, my passions today are elsewhere. 
Enjoy the documentary, Céline fans!
