About Me

Intro

Alright… You’re here, so let’s get into it. No filters, no fluff.


This blog is a front-row ticket to my life; a mash-up of everything I love, everything I question, and all the things I’m still trying to make sense of. Call it therapy maybe, or just the ramblings of a guy who’s been around, done a few things, got himself in trouble way too often because of his reckless behavior, his sarcasm and his dark humor… and yet still doing the same shit.

I am the kind of guy who avoids conventions the way most people avoid public restrooms. My life is messy, unpredictable, and a little bit hilarious… Just like me.

Who Am I?


Senegal-born, Paris-based, World-citizen and unapologetically single; I get my kicks from traveling, observing, and occasionally indulging in questionable decisions, like writing this blog. If you came here expecting a motivational life coach, backpedal now. I’m here for the real stuff… the raw, unedited scenes from life as I see it.To me, relationships are like Parisian rain: inevitable, fleeting, and never quite enough to stop me from wandering out at night. Successful with women since I was fairly young, sorry m; There seems to be “something about me” as I’ve heard a thousand times. The odd and unpredictable crossover between a Gentleman, a Bad Boy and a Man Child seems to be the perfect combination; and as much as they hate to admit it… They love it !

What I Love


Photography, videography, cinema, literature… anything that lets me capture, twist, or tell a story. I’m obsessed with images that speak louder than the best dialogue, books that punch you in the gut, and films that mess with your head. I also love me some cocktails; and I don’t just drink them, I make them. I eat clean but never safe; and I experiment as much in the kitchen as I do in other areas of life… even the ones I shouldn’t. I’ll try anything at least once; It keeps life spicy, keeps me moving, keeps me from getting too comfortable.

The Quiet Stuff


You might think a guy like me craves the limelight; not quite. I’m a firm believer in the art of being alone. I’m at my best when it’s just me, my camera, and the world at 3 a.m., when she city is half-awake, and I’m on my fifth drink… or my third bad idea of the night. I don’t sleep much, it’s overrated. Life is out there happening, and I’m out there with it.



.   .   .




So, stick around… or don’t. Either way… I’ll keep writing, keep wandering, keep experimenting and mixing all that into a cocktail of messy stories that make sense in some weird, offbeat way. Maybe you’ll find something worth hanging onto here, maybe not. But hey, it’s worth a shot.

Look around… The streets are filled with wannabe supermodels. Heads buried in their phones, polishing their Insta personas. Every corner is a photo op, every meal a post, every thought an opportunity for a status update. It’s like we’re all extras in some digital Truman Show, where the real world is just a backdrop to the main event… Themselves. .   .   . I’ll give it to them though, this generation has nailed the art of branding their “content” so on point, it makes old-school advertising executives look like Neanderthals playing with charcoal. You’ve got these kids airbrushing their own personalities until they’re smoother than a tequila shot in Tulum. Every “like,” every little heart or comment is another hit of dopamine; one more validation that yes, you’re fabulous. Well you know what ? You’re not just fabulous… You’re iconic! .   .   . Don’t get me wrong, I’m not here to torch the whole idea of wanting to look good. Go ahead, put on some decent threads and work...

  Christmas night… The family circus is in full swing! Laughter echoes through the house, plastering fake cheer over a night of forced togetherness; and I’m here, sitting among them, pretending to bask in the glow of it all, when in reality, I couldn’t care less. Not about Christmas itself, I mean, lights and mulled wine are fine, but I’m talking about the façade we all put on. .   .   . The charade starts with the usual suspects: polite smiles, generic compliments, and way too enthusiastic exclamations over gifts that no one actually wanted. “Oh wow, another sweater! You shouldn’t have!”… Yeah, they really shouldn’t. By the time the first bottle of wine is half-empty, the conversations begin to fray; laughter grows sharper, words become weapons, and everyone forgets that this night was supposed to be merry. .   .   . Let’s not ignore the irony. People throw money at Christmas like it’s a slot machine that’ll spit out happiness; decorations, lavish meals, overpr...
