Sunday evening thoughts (getting more personal)

[ENG] Confused and dazed (sic).
What a great ride I had last week on the TE 449!

I should get that WR125 project finally going.
How about wathcing that film? ... 
OmG, that's great!
Dinos' getting weird again with Terry's diary
I should keep an eye on that poor fellow :)
 And I've got this book to read.
By this writer.

On a lazy Sunday evening with no TV on (not working for the past few weeks).

Night

[ENG]
Hands shaking, still
 Adrenaline bits
The roughness of the sea 
Underneath
I'm here, still alive
In the dark
Street lights
Alone
With her
Tonight

[GRE]
Τα χέρια τρέμουν
Αδρεναλίνη
Κι η θάλασσα κάτω άγρια
Στο "ναό"*
Σκοτάδι
Οι προβολείς
Μόνος
Κι αυτή
Αυτή κι εγώ
Απόψε
* Πρώην καντίνα, Λιμανάκια

The Inside Story XXX (Long time no see)

[ENG] Long time no see. Riding the mighty Husaberg FE 570. With Giorgos Legakis shooting his ass off, once more. In several spots at mount Imitos, close to my house. What a beast that bike was! But it kept climbing through the stony paths like a bulldozer. I really enjoyed that shooting.
We got a little "arty" too
That's 3rd gear rolling with some serious km's per hour
Stones all over da place

Five years later

[ENG] Time flies like an arrow, they say. Same spot, exactly five years later. Same type of helmet, a Shoei V-Moto, but I guess similarities end there, or maybe they don't. Stay still, just for a split second. It’s been five years since then. Standing on top of the same hill, ready for a descent, from the past to my future. Like I did back then, like I do every day. And if the past is now that close to my present, and if those endless moments now seem no more than tiny fragments of time, I stand here anxiously waiting for tomorrow.
[GRE] Το πέρασμα του χρόνου. Κέρδισα, έχασα, έμαθα στο πέρασμα του χρόνου. Πέντε χρόνια μετά, στο ίδιο σημείο, σα να γιορτάζω κάτι. Κι αν άλλαξαν οι άλλοι γύρω μου, περισσότερο ίσως άλλαξα εγώ. Μόνος στέκω πάλι στην κορυφή του λόφου, έτοιμος για μια ακόμη κάθοδο, στο αύριό μου. Πώς ήμουν και πώς είμαι; Μα κυριότερα, πώς θα είμαι πέντε χρόνια μετά; Ελπίζω, τις βάσεις έφτιαξα, και ξανά ελπίζω, καλά να είμαι, να χαμογελώ, τους φίλους μου να έχω, τους δικούς μου. Ελπίζω και ανυπομονώ, ίσως και λίγο βιαστικά περιμένω, τις προκλήσεις, που θα με κάνουν πιο δυνατό. Για να δούμε…

The Inside Story XXIX

[ENG] Captured at the very first attempt. A stony uphill section, low-speed, first-gear rolling, the 4-stroke Gas Gas feeling light and nimble. I didn't even know Giorgos was ready to shoot. I just wanted to try this uphill and check my speed and style on the bike. But the photo looks great. We did several more clicks, but none was that good. Looks like dancing on top of the bike. At mount Imitos, Athens, back at the times when we've jurst started putting in some serious business with Giorgos.
