Maybe I'm being philosophical and spiritual, but I believe that if you put negative energy out there that that is what will come back.
I'm an underdog person, so I align myself with those who seem to be not considered valuable in polite society.
I like spending time at home. In Paris, people drop by and have a bite to eat, or they drop by and watch Friends on TV. I take my dog to the office there, and I walk to work sometimes.
