Hi everybody !
- Last update : Novembre, 10th 1998 -I apology if I don’t speak English well enough to do a home page all in English. But I’m a French boy, and it is my parents’ fault !
In this page, I’m trying to present myself and to present what I like. My goal is to make you curious enough that you’ll try to read a page in French.
| Me : |
My name is Marc Legrain, I’m born in January, the 9th of 1971 in Paris. I lived in Saint-Mandé, a small town of the near suburb of Paris.
After a great work, I studied in the university "Marne-la-Vallée". This university don’t have any contact with Disneyland, although the fact that they are very close, that is a good way for student to find a job (I didn’t work there, but a friend of I did it, that was very nice because he could make me enter free !).
But, what is important, is that after 5 years of hard (and nice) working, I succeed to my final exam. So, I could enter in the terrible world of working !!
First, I work in a company specialised in the development of solution for national offices of patents and trademarks (PTO). I worked 2 years in this company. And I went to Alicante (in Spain) for 8 months in the OHIM (OHMI in French, OAMI in Spanish), the European office for trademarks.
The life in Spain was very great : the beach all the nights, the sun, the "fiestas" and the kindness of all the people there.
So, when I came back to Paris, with pollution, grey sky,
tube… it was very difficult. So I changed my job, I changed my sport (I
did foot-ball (soccer) and now I do badminton), I changed my car, I changed
my home… I am ready to start a new life !
| I like... |
I’m like I am and I like to play with words. So I wrote some texts playing with the sounds, the words, the ideas… And in this case, it is very difficult to translate. That’s why I don’t translate them… and not because my English is too poor…
If I’m writing, it’s because it is funny. But the real reason, it is because writing is the best way to make sadness to go out of myself.
In this site, there is no private texts : my problems are mine and I don’t want to make a show with them. So, most the texts are not depressive : I play with words, I deal about sport, I give my feelings about the paradox of the time or the sea color… and sometimes I try to make some fun.
