In Which Balance on French History is Hard to Get Correctly

Good evening, my friend, dear reader of this present post! Happy Monday of a new week! The month of April 2026 reaches its final days, hopefully those will proceed nicely. How are you? Hopefully your werkend went well and with no incidents? Those can be disruptive and bothersome. My own set of days went okay overall. I did receive an important document this Friday, which was the results of my neuropsychological evaluation. As it turns out, I have an IQ above average! It caught me by surprise and I am so happy to see it! My own is at 110, and though this is not exactly what would be called "geniality" territory, that is quite functional and then some, therefore I am happy, on that end. The test flagged exactly what is going on in my head, the result is not entirely positive, and this is not that it can be fixed or cured, it is frustrating how that is not the case with brain issues and quirks, just mitigated and dealt with. I do not have ADHD, but I do have OCD, in a level high...

Music of the Week! In which the author talks about his favorite song by Nelo!

Hello and good morning people!! How are you all? Time for another song of the week in this hot Friday, way too hot to be on winter time! If you read my post on Reid, one of my faves of season 14 of The Voice, and just my fave in general, you will aknowledge that he's on a alternative-rock band called Nelo! Before June, I already knew that, but never searched for it, until the day I decided to do it, and this was one of my best decisions of last month! I'm not a rock person, but I loved the songs of the band! The lyrics are great, needless to say Reid's voice is just wonderful, and all the instruments are very well executed, I just love everything! I could talk a lot about the band, but I think I'm gonna have a separate post to do that, because this would be a too big post if I did that, so for today let's just focus on the song of the day! The first tune I listened of the group was Footsteps, and I just fell in love with it. That song opened the doors to the other ones that came after it, so it was also really impactful! This is the song we're having today here!

Footsteps (Spotify) - This version is from the Album Old Friends...  (2012)
The acoustic version of the song is also truly amazing! Here's the link to it:
Footsteps Acoustic (Spotify) - This is from the Album Roots (Live) (2017)
And, if you don't have Spotify, you can listen to it on Youtube Here!

I hope you guys might like the song, I really love it! And I totally recommend you all to look more by Nelo, I loved all the songs I listened so far! I'm still getting to know the band but everything sounds really promising! Let's close this post with the cover of the album Roots!


And that's it for today! Thanks for being here! I appreciate that so much! See you again next time, dear reader!
