Thanks to =Psy-XX for suggesting, and to ^WilderWein77 for the feature.
And thanks to all of you, long time supporters. I really appreciate this.

(Do not pay attention to the "emotional" icon at the end of this post, for some reason I can't change it.)

I'm moving to Quebec in 2 weeks, and I have a huge amount of boxes to do, won't be online too much within the next days. See you soon, guys ! Thank you for all your support, you're all awesome.

Ça y'est, j'ai finalement quitté ma foutue job, et il me reste deux petites semaines pour terminer de faire mes boites en vue du futur déménagement, je ne serai donc pas très souvent en ligne, mais je vous retrouverez bientôt ! Merci à tous pour vos bons mots et votre support, ça fait toujours chaud au coeur.
Bonne St-Jean Baptiste aux Québécois, abusez pas trop des bonnes choses.

Some random french rent here, don't pay attention.

Et voilà, à peine deux semaines après avoir appris le décès d'une tante, j'apprends la mort tragique d'un ami que j'ai connu à l'école secondaire. Non mais y'en a marre. David avait 24 ans. Par un après-midi très chaud, une baignade s'impose, mais tout se passe de travers...
Et quelques heures plus tard, l'entourage tout entier de David a été foudroyé par sa mort brutale et... grotesque. Non mais si c'est pas dégueulasse ?? Voulant sauter d'un arbre pour faire un meilleur plongeon, la branche s'est cassée sous son poids, il s'est fracassé le crâne sur un rocher, et a sombré dans la rivière... pour que l'équipe de secours le ressorte bleu. BLEU. Vous imaginez ses amis qui se trouvaient avec lui à ce moment là ? Vous imaginez l'attente infernale qu'ils ont subi, en espèrant voir la tête de David surgir hors de l'eau et dire "ça va, y'a pas trop de mal", et qu'ils espereront toujours ce moment ? Vous imaginez l'impact qu'a eu sa mort sur tous les gens qu'il connaissait, proches ou non ?
Il avait sa vie devant lui, la plupart des gens l'appréciaient, c'était le genre de personne sur laquelle on pouvait compter si on en avait besoin. Un amour, un nounours des calins. Si ça n'avait pas été de son petit côté téméraire, il assisterait au bal de finissants de sa blonde dans environ une semaine, aurait poursuivit ses études, et aurait continué d'apporter de beaux moments à ceux qu'il aimait. Au lieu de cela, on se retrouve tous à pleurer sa mort en se demandant pourquoi, mais POURQUOI il a fallu que sa se termine ainsi... un accident si bête, qui nous marquera tous à jamais.

R.I.P David. We'll fuckin miss you.
Vous m'excuserez si je me fais plutôt discrète, je n'ai pas trop le moral ces jours-ci.

Okay folks, short story; a great underground metal band asked me to create a CD cover for their next album. And I need sh*tloads of pictures to create what I have in mind.

Problem is : I cannot use stock pictures / pics found on the internet - restricted by copyrights, and it would be way too long to search.

And then, I thought of you guys.

Would you like to become some evil zombie and be on a CD cover of a great band that might become one of the biggest band in the world, and then show this to your kids and say : "See that weird guy looking drunk in the background ? THAT'S ME !!"
hehe.

So, what I need is :

* clear/non-cropped/full body shots of yourself.
* NO stolen pics. This will avoid a bunch of issues.
* Keep thinking "zombie" in your poses (no cheezy-"arms-up" poses), more like you'd be frozen.
* avoid smiling.
* wet hair is a plus, but it is not required.
* DAY light please (or artificial light), I cannot use dark pictures, otherwise it will look crappy.
* you can stare or look deranged. I need both.

I CANNOT guarantee all the pictures I'll receive will be used, I'll choose those I think fits best in the whole piece. But I need a lot of ressources, be it men or women.

To the stock providers that might be interested :
I would be glad to use any pics you want me to use, but remember, this will be on a CD COVER. So make sure you have full permission
before sending it. If you have only a few specific pictures, please send a link to the stock images, contact me, or note me.

If you have any questions, ask me.
This will be a great project, I would be glad if some of you would be interested to be part of it.

DAMN you, !

Here we go then...

"Here are the rules:

1. post these rules
2. each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves.
3. tags should write a journal of these facts
4. at the end post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named
5. go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged" bla bla bla.


8 random facts

1. Most people think I act like a wild animal in real life ; it is difficult to approach me, and it takes time to get to know me. And it's even more difficult since I have severe mood swings. Most people don't have enough patience to get along with me.
2. I love, LOVE chocolate. I'm addicted to it (as well as Monster's energy drinks)
3. The "hardest" drug I've ever tried were mushrooms. What a trip.
4. I never had a cellphone, and not even planning on buying one. Maybe in 20 years.
5. I've had every hair color that you can think of. EVERY color.
6. I have a weird sense of humour. Most people get used to it, some people never will.
7. My brother and I were really close as kids, but things went wrong at 12 y/o. We use to consider each other as strangers until last summer. I'm 23 now.
8. I realise now my english sucks more than I used to think.
