MARTIN AND HIS BIKE |
This is my sweetie Martin, and he is the love of my life! I have never met anyone who I enjoy being with more. He NEVER gets angry and he treats me better then anyone ever has. I am very lucky to have him in my life. He never askes me to change and he loves me just the way I am. His hobbies include: Bicycling, swimming, computers, reading (especially sci-fi books) roll playing games and spending time with me and the boys. He especially likes to make me happy! Martin was born and raised in Quebec Canada and is a native French speaker. Both his parents are bi-lingual but they spoke French in the home. Martin was exposed to some English while growing up, but did not become fluent until he got on the internet in April 1996. I first met him in August 1996 while he was getting the hang of English really well. The first time he was ever really immersed in English was on his first trip to California to visit me in Feb. 1999. I can say now that he speaks English very well.....except he still confuses the words "backward" and "backyard" But I find it very cute. Martin graduated high school and attended college. He took computer science and computer programming. He also took fencing classes and was in the fencing club for four years and he would very much like to get back into it. The picture below shows Martin fencing, he is the one on the left, up in the air. Did I mention that I love him very much? |

Martin's favorite animal is the wolf. Maybe it is because he can relate to their ways. Martin used to be somewhat of a loner..a lone wolf of sorts. He had always said that like the wolf, he would be with one mate for life. He will never be with anyone else, I am his one and only mate for life, always and forever. I am very lucky to be his! |
Je l'aime à mourir by Francis Cabrel |
The song playing is our official song |
Moi, je n'étais rien et voilà qu'aujourd'hui Me, I was nothing and suddenly today Je suis le gardien du sommeil de ses nuits I am the gardian of the sleep of her nights Je l'aime à mourir I love her to death Vous pouvez détruire tout ce qui vous plaira You can destroy all you want Elle n'a qu'à ouvrir l'espace de ses bras She have but to open the space of her arms Pour tout reconstruire, pour tout reconstruire To rebuild everything, to rebuild everything Je l'aime à mourir I love her to death Elle a gommé les chiffre des horloges du quartier She erased the digits of the clocks of the neighborhood Elle a fait de ma vie des cocottes en papier She turned my life into a child's paper game Des éclats de rires Laughing out loud Elle a bâtit des ponts entre nous et le ciel She built bridges between us and the sky Et nous les traversons chaque fois qu'elle And we crosses them each time that she Ne veut pas dormir, Ne veut pas dormir Doesn't want to sleep, Doesn't want to sleep Je l'aime à mourir I love her to death Elle a du faire toutes les guerres She must have fought all wars Pour être aussi forte aujourd'hui To be so strong today Elle a du faire toutes les guerres de la vie She must have fought all the wars of life Et l'amour aussi. And of love too. Elle vit de son mieux son rêve d'opaline She tries her best to live her dream of opaline Elle danse au milieu des forêts qu'elle dessine She dances in the middle of the forests she draws. Je l'aime à mourir I love her to death Elle porte des rubans qu'elle laisse s'envoler She wears ribbons that she lets fly Elle me chante souvent que j'ai tort d'essayer She often sings to me that I'm wrong to try De les retenir, De les retenir To hold them back, To hold them back Je l'aime à mourir I love her to death Pour monter dans sa grotte, cachée sous les toits To climb up in her cave, hidden under the roofs Je dois clouer de notes dans des sabots de bois I must nail musical notes in shoes of wood Je l'aime à mourir I love her to death Je dois juste m'asseoir, je ne dois pas parler I must just sit, I must not talk Je ne dois rien vouloir, je dois juste essayer I must not want anything, I must just try De lui appartenir, De lui appartenir To be owned by her, to be owned by her Je l'aime à mourir I love her to death Elle a du faire toutes les guerres She must have fought all wars Pour être aussi forte aujourd'hui To be so strong today Elle a du faire toutes les guerres de la vie She must have fought all the wars of life Et l'amour aussi. And of love too. Moi, je n'étais rien et voilà qu'aujourd'hui Me, I was nothing and suddenly today Je suis le gardien du sommeil de ses nuits I am the gardian of the sleep of her nights Je l'aime à mourir I love her to death Vous pouvez détruire tout ce qui vous plaira You can destroy all you want Elle n'a qu'à ouvrir l'espace de ses bras She have but to open the space of her arms Pour tout reconstruire, pour tout reconstruire To rebuild everything, to rebuild everything Je l'aime à mourir I love her to death |
