From here on in I shoot without a script.

See if anything comes of it
Instead of my old shit

He was me when I was 14; he is still me now that I am 28. (I just have cooler glasses now.)

From my 2006 thesis on Sarkozy:

“What to make of Sarkozy’s ambitious and noble goals in a political culture unequipped to handle such openness and sympathy to religion? Here is the problem of the French Catholic. Is belief in the appealing rhetoric of a charming politician the right path back from what some would deem a nation’s lost faith? Does Sarkozy’s promise for a tamer laïcité force a French Catholic to compromise one of his two sacred religions? If the French revolution and even the twentieth century demonstrate anything, it is that although the French identity can be double-croyant, there is little hope for it to practice both faiths fully – secularism and Catholicism. Sarkozy’s formule for a different future appears sumptuous, but will it leave an even worse aftertaste?”

What an idiot I was. “Ambitious,” yes. “Noble”? Ha.

Also, “Catholicism.”
