SUPERBE bc, tu es une idole, une artiste, cela mérite amplement la chanson du vieux Léo :
Je suis arrivé à huit heures et quart
J'ai grillé une sèche en lisant le courrier
Dans cette loge d'artiste où s'arrête la gloire
Le temps de se refaire une petite beauté
Regarde-moi bien
J'suis une idole

J'ai passé mes joues au fil du rasoir
Quand on vend sa gueule sous des projecteurs
On peut pas se permettre d'avoir les cheveux noirs
Et une barbe toute blanche même pour trois quarts d'heure
J'ai mis mes souliers tantôt bottillons
Tantôt mocassins ça dépend des fois
Et quant à marcher entre deux chansons
J'irais bien pieds nus seulement ça se fait pas
Regarde-moi bien
J'suis une idole

Si j'ai fait mes yeux c'est pour agrandir
Les deux petits quinquets que maman m'a donnés
Je les voudrais bien verts d'ailleurs je le fais dire
Mais ils sont châtains en réalité
J'ai mis mon costume sorti du pressing
Ce vestiaire anglais où on lave même le spleen
Un chanteur qui chante la révolution
Ça planque sa cravate ça met le col Danton
Regarde-moi bien
J'suis une idole

J'ai bronzé ma gueule d'un vieux fond de soleil
Qu'on me refile en tube chez mon parfumeur
Et quand je fous mes codes sous l'arc des merveilles
On voit des canaux qu'on prend pour des pleurs
Quand tout est fini le rideau baissé
Et que j'entends mourir la rumeur complice
Et qu'il n'y a plus rien qu'un silence armé
Par tant de passants sous tant de coulisses
Regarde-moi bien
J'suis une idole

Et je retrouve mon corps celui que je rencontre
Les matins civils quand je me prends pour moi
Le même que l'on voit le même que l'on montre
A je ne sais plus qui pour je ne sais plus quoi
Et je m'en vais souper traqué dans un coin
Avec mes copains sur mon addition
En rasant les tables en me cachant des mains
En disant tout bas la fin de ma chanson
Regardez-moi bien
J'suis qu'un artiste

Bises, BRAVO, Thierry.

Gretel said at 8:46 a.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
here she is..my beautiful sistah! Annelies, this is so completely perfectly Bobo. Let me go dry my eyes and I'll be back to comment!

ViqiFrench said at 9:29 a.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Absolutely AWESOME!! You're quite blessed to have seen so much of the world. My favorite, though, is you as tiny, newborn baby, with your mommie looking loving down at you. ;-P There's so much love there!

Lichief said at 9:31 a.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Through your travels and photos, we get to know you more and more...Thank you for the walk.

John98 said at 10:05 a.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
What a beautiful recording of personal history and of your impressive travels. Much nicer than looking at passport stamps.

Leeuwjan said at 10:14 a.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Annalies, wees er van overtuigd dat het mij een genoegen is je op deze wijze nader kennis met je te mogen maken. Een prachtig tabblo!! Ik dank je vriendelijk voor dit "inkijkje" en kijk uit naar eenvervolg.

Leeuwjan said at 10:15 a.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Aan de kromme zin merk je wel dat ik erg onder de indruk ben.

Fredzee said at 10:18 a.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Excellent !! j'allais dire qu'on ne te voyais pas beaucoup dans tes tabblos ! Mon Chat égocentrique préféré me disait "Il m'arrive de me parler à moi-même pour être certain que quelqu'un m'écoute". Amusant de te voir assise au jardin du Luxembourg !! et flatté que tu es choisi une de mes oeuvres sur sable !... bref, c'est vendredi ! alors une seconde citation (le Chat commence à m'agacer) : "people are as wines : in time, good ones improve (and bad ones turn sour)" said Ciceron, drinking a good Bordeau. You are a good "millésime" ! :)

Pkeener said at 11:14 a.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Bobo, ma belle! This is so amazing. A life wel lived! I love every single photo. I can see so much love hapiness and joy in each one. This tabblo is a work of art. The B&W, the sketches and paintings intertwined with the little Bobo., the woman child and the mother and forever young woman. I agree with Fred. You are a fine Bordeau, improving with age..a Château Lafite Rothschild. You are indeed, BOBOLISCIOUS!!! thank you for this. PS love your guitar soulfull artiest shot, the one of you and the car, al the baby pics, the LUCY..so perfect, and all those gorgeous eyes!

Nina1960 said at 11:25 a.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Heel in het kort Superbe Tabblo, Annelies.Dankjewel~

Pkeener said at 11:27 a.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
PS I forgot a very important detail: the LAST pic..priceless. Hey Fred! United in pink! Now that is what I call looking at the world through rose colored glasses!!

Jerii said at 11:47 a.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Thanks for lets us travel with you through time! This is a fun tabblo.

Bxrgirl27 said at 1:05 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
so cool - love the use of black and white throughout!

Leftofcenter said at 1:54 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Thx everyone for dropping by MY TABBLO inspired by Eduardo's EGO TRIP- you should all try it, it's a good excercise in HUMILITY!! (not!)
VIQI: the "mommy" is ME looking at MY baby David Jan, firstborn... He HAD to be in this retrospective, JJ (son #2 also makes an appearance: the MOM drawing is his..)
JAN: :)))
MARIAN waarom zo kort? (grapje)
Merci THIERRY pour Léo j'm ça quand tu prends toute la place sur la page comm :) je dis RABAT pour la photo au Maroc (tu vois laquelle?) mais je n'en suis pas sûre finalement, ça ressemble plutôt à Casa? bises à toi
Merci FANNY (allez tous voir les tabblos de NOBODYSPERFECT! they ARE perfect!)
Merci FRED je n'aurais pas pu terminer ce tabblo sans LEFTIE in the sand, c'est son tabblo, bobo elle n'aurait jamais osé. Encore merci pour ce dessin dans le sable de tes vacances flip flop mania!!
evil sistah PAMMIE: you are NEXT!!!
PLS CHECK THE GSPOT w/ Gretel, Pammie is the GUEST OF HONOR!!!!

AliDar said at 2:12 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Beautiful Tabblo, Annelies! I love the photo of you looking over the cityscape! And you play guitar, cool! I'd love to hear a sound clip, too bad Tabblo didn't have that ability. Love the old car your standing beside; was it yours? Thank you for sharing all these wonderful photos of you; I don't think it's too egotistical, <grin> mostly I see it as you putting yourself out there so we can get to know you better! :)

Decoy said at 3:29 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
You are a beautiful woman with many faces! :) Lovely pictures!

Umauma said at 4:17 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Very sweet and personal...thanks for sharing yourself with us!

EMA said at 4:53 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Very beautiful personal photos! You are a pretty girl!

Thanks for sharing!

Eduardo.affonso said at 5:22 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
I wonder how many passports you have filled during these years, ANNELIES. You are the most perfect translation of the word "globe trotter": Acapulco, Beijing, Paris, Rabat, Jakarta, Kingston, Hydra...

I read (don't remember where) that we never visit the same place twice - because not only the places change but we are not the same person for two consecutive days. What I see in these pics is a bunch of lovely girls, all of them having the same curious, expressive eyes. Try to keep in touch with these little girls, these charming teenagers, these young ladies: they are the best company you can ever have.

Lifequest22 said at 5:27 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
A beautiful life all in this page. I really have enjoyed your tabblo. Great ego trip to share.

Pkeener said at 6:39 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Lovely comment Eduardo..he always says it so well..I agree with him, Annelies.

Leftofcenter said at 7:10 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Thx ANNA UMA LINDA EMA (all a's!) DAR yes played the guitar a lot as a kid (late 60s & 70s) remember MELANIE SAFKA i've got a brand new pair of rollerskates you've got a brand new key???
here's the youtube clip

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd7MVwET0QY

EDUARDO (yes my inspiration for this tabblo) you make an interesting point, I did go back to a couple of places (in Europe) and everything "seemed" different but it was more MOI that had changed than the cities, perspectives & circumstances change, every season has its merit though (now I sound like the Dalai Lama!)

PAMMIE: see you on DA GSPOT grr smiley here ;)

AliDar said at 7:29 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Hey thanks for the clip! I've forgotten how much I like her voice! The song fits with the travel theme of your tabblo too! :)

AliDar said at 7:31 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Oh I was meaning to say also, Edwardo I agree with what you said, but I couldn't have said it as poetic as you!

Peggysuew said at 8:43 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
thank you so much for sharing a part of your life with us :) looks like you had a lot of fun growing up ) very creative layout :) :)

Leftofcenter said at 8:50 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Hey Peggy thx, i had a "normal" childhood except for the moving around maybe, sometimes life was cool other times everything sucked, like all teenagers!! lol

TeresaAnn said at 9:26 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
Beautiful tabblo. I moved around a lot when I was growing up too as my dad was in the Coast Guard. We had some great experiences even though it was not always fun changing schools :O)

Leftofcenter said at 9:29 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
thx Teresa, that was the hardest part, changing schools and friends..

Leftofcenter said at 9:30 p.m. on Aug 31, 2007:
my dad was a diplomat.

Ritz1386257 said at 12:49 a.m. on Sep 1, 2007:
Superbe Tabblo yaja !! À mes yeux le meilleur !! puisqu'il touche à tous les coins du monde dans lequel tu as vécu..Tu es superbe sur toutes les photos en plus.. Y en a qui vont se lécher les babines..

Je trouve que ton tableau mérite plutôt cette merveilleuse chanson sur laquelle nous avons pas mal braillé toutes les deux...que j'aimerais faire connaitre à tes fans...

JE REVIENDRAI À MONTRÉAL de Robert Charlebois

Je reviendrai à Montréal
Dans un grand Boeing bleu de mer
J'ai besoin de revoir l'hiver
Et ses aurores boréales
J'ai besoin de cette lumière
Descendue droit du Labrador
Et qui fait neiger sur l'hiver
Des roses bleues, des roses d'or
Dans le silence de l'hiver
Je veux revoir ce lac étrange
Entre le cristal et le verre
Où viennent se poser des anges

Je reviendrai à Montréal
Écouter le vent de la mer
Se briser comme un grand cheval
Sur les remparts blancs de l'hiver
Je veux revoir le long désert
Des rues qui n'en finissent pas
Qui vont jusqu'au bout de l'hiver
Sans qu'il y ait trace de pas
J'ai besoin de sentir le froid
Mourir au fond de chaque pierre
Et rejaillir au bord des toits
Comme des glaçons de bonbon clair

Je reviendrai à Montréal
Dans un grand Boeing bleu de mer
Je reviendrai à Montréal
Me marier avec l'hiver

SterlingGray said at 1:28 a.m. on Sep 1, 2007:
Some great "not so new" (didn't want to say older and imply anything) photos. And your art work blended in really made this a very special Tabblo - Very nice!!!

Shenresi said at 9:51 a.m. on Sep 1, 2007:

Love2laugh said at 11:12 a.m. on Sep 1, 2007:
Beautifully done, Annelies. I love to look back and see the changes. I loved Eduardo's and equally LOVE YOURS TOO....!

JuDeck said at 11:22 a.m. on Sep 1, 2007:

Loes said at 6:50 p.m. on Sep 1, 2007:
Prachtige levensreis terug in de tijd!!

Leftofcenter said at 7:18 p.m. on Sep 1, 2007:
Thx SHEILA, JUDE, ZIP & LOES, you should try it, it was fun just picking out the not-too-geeky pictures out of the bunch!! (RIGHT SHEILA? check out Love2laugh THE GOOD YEARS tabblo!)

Marcif said at 9:30 p.m. on Sep 1, 2007:

Xtine said at 6:51 a.m. on Sep 2, 2007:
this is classic!

Kath said at 9:18 a.m. on Sep 2, 2007:
This tabblo is so wonderful.
Thanks for sharing your life trip with us.
A little girl, a beautiful young lady, and a mom.

Mdespot said at 12:29 p.m. on Sep 2, 2007:
WOW!! You must think your just beautiful, well let me tell you, you are so so right. Your very very beautiful from a young pretty girl to a very attractive woman. This tabblo was very enjoyable to view, thanks for the good time.

Leftofcenter said at 12:41 p.m. on Sep 2, 2007:
Thx for dropping by MIKE: I do NOT think I'm beautiful, NOT AT ALL, this tabblo was about looking back, realizing how time flies and, in my case, being thankful. It's been a fun ride so far...

Karmaplace said at 8:26 p.m. on Sep 2, 2007:
Very beautiful...your tabblo, your story, and you. You're very fortunate to have all those beautiful memories on paper. But from your layout, one can see they are also in your heart. Egotistical? I don't see it.

Leftofcenter said at 7:44 p.m. on Sep 3, 2007:
thx "karmaplace", each of these photographs represent a moment in time never to be taken for granted... :)

Pkeener said at 8:48 p.m. on Sep 3, 2007:
moments are all we have...

Siagian said at 11:01 p.m. on Sep 6, 2007:
i like. =)

Leftofcenter said at 9:56 a.m. on Sep 7, 2007:
hey Woody!!

TavarES said at 5:47 p.m. on Sep 9, 2007:
It does not have garden nor spring without flowers! This tabblo is pretty because it's in B&W and(chiloe) the "artist" was a beautiful young.

Pussycat said at 9:02 p.m. on Sep 19, 2007:
A*M*A*Z*I*N*G!!

YOUR SO PRETTY!!!

Leftofcenter said at 9:36 a.m. on Sep 20, 2007:
