A Bon Vivant Lifestyle

A bon vivant lyfestyle of the Bohemians de Paris, has always saddened and deluded me... by seeing it in someone's happy smile. Mademoiselles and jeunne hommes, exchanging artistic and poetical ideas at the Cafe' de Flore, or at the Les Deux Magots... with coffee aroma on their breaths. Living in legendary and vibrant Hollywood is an honor to be seen with the admired and respected wealthy; and whoever struggles, can't keep up with any of them... whose only desire is the glitter of money. And steadily dreaming of a bon vivant lifestyle with an aloft imagination, I let this want often disrupt my peaceful sleep... not being able to accumulate, quickly enough, fortunes and stand on that pedestal of greed. So snap out of fantasy and don't peruse into La Dolce Vita of Hollywood! Stay away from those extravagant fashion shows! And at the Cannes, Capri or Venice Film Festival, avoid contact with movie stars, stare at them from far...they are as contagious as influenza. Copyright 2009 by Andrew Crisci
