(int) Factor Films presents THEY CAME FROM… from factor films on Vimeo.

Do not eat junk food. Avoid aliments with too much fat, sugar or salt. Have regular exercices and sports. Do not smoke. Do not drink too much. Put your seatbelt on. Go to bed early. Wake up early. Do not procrastinate your work. Do not listen to music too loudly…

What is that? Did we all become so stupid that we need someone to remind us how to live healthily? I thank my parents for teaching me those things, but who the hell decided I needed to hear that crap everyday (radio, tv, adds in the streets)? The state will always find a way to justify this very paternalist behaviour (medicine costs, work productivity, happiness pursuit). But is it genuinely its job?

Most of all, is it an efficient tactic? Do you know anyone that lives like this? Honestly I hope not! First because it would be boring as hell, but also because it would not be a very human attitude. I do not want to be perfect. I do not want to spend my life saving it for later. Seriously, how ironic would that be to get hit by a truck after years of extremely restrictive healthy habits? I think we globally know what is right for us, and why we do not do it. Watch out, helping people to live in a “right way” is a hazardous business and giving advices is also a delicate matter.

I do not think that this crap is going to help anyone. It can only make us feel guilty about our unability to reach absurd perfect standards. Let me be the only judge of what is good to me.

ENJOY!

“Beer is the world’s oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic beverage and the third most popular drink overall after water and tea” (Wikipédia).

Some might be struck by this piece of information, but after a semester in Cardiff I can tell you that in some areas beer is far more popular than water, tea, cola or any other beverages!
