Big Ass!

Well, first of all, I’ll try to write only in (awful) English. Sorry about the errors/mistakes, but I don’t really give a shit to it :) My goal is to let more friends know how is going my life, and since I saw in my blog stats a couple “google translator“‘s links, I decide to make your life easier, it would be in a bad English…, but it will be understandable (I hope).

Starting from the Genesis, one friend of mine (Natalie) told me that Greek people has one expression when someone has too much luck, as we (Portuguese people) say “You have born with your ass pointed to the moon” (or something like that, it’s hard to translate expressions), Greek people take things easier, just say “You have a Big Ass“, what for some people could be a compliment…, but whatever…

I could tell you some situations where proves how big is my ass, but this one is, definitely, the best one!

I, Gil Sousa, hereby declare that I have the biggest ass in the whole world! Quote this, please!

Friday night I went to a party with some friends, a great party on a terrace (yeah, yeah, it’s already hot in Greece :P ), and…, I’ve got drunk…, no comments about this, please… The problem here, is, that I already had bought the tickets to Syros for the next DAWN (7:35 is not yet morning for me)…

I ‘ve got at home at 3:00, I saw the watch when I was changing my alarm settings to 6am. Usually, 30 minutes is enough to get to the boats, but on weekends the metro line that goes to Piraeus has some interruptions in some parts of the path for works, so I thought that 1:30 before should be safer…, if I didn’t get drunk on that night…

At 6am I woke up with the alarm (is so sad that I remember so many details…), and I changed the alarm to 6:15…, but…, I don’t remember to wake up with the new alarm schedule…

At 7:05 I woke up, again…, I looked at my phone and I saw the time! I only had 30 minutes to get to the boats!!! I was SO FUCKED UP!!! I don’t know how fast I dressed up and I got to the street! Thankfully I already had everything packed (sometimes it’s nice to be psychotic :P )!

Usually, I don’t see taxis in my street, but in that day I saw 2, the first one was booked, the second one was my (crazy) driver! And with that precise moment, I realized that I need some diet…, my ass is growing day after day…, I told the guy that I only had 20 minutes to get in Pireaeus, apparently, he thought he had enough time to stop and try to get an extra passenger into the taxi. I don’t know…, but I barely manage myself not to kill him in that precise moment! Him and Nikos, who cursed me about the weekend :P Jealous is such a bad feeling :P

At 7:35, I was inside the boat :P After this…, I think I already spent all my lucky credits at once! For whom that doesn’t know Athens, this doesn’t sound “amazing”, but believe me, it was! Nobody has so many luck! I am agnostic, but after this it isn’t hard to believe in something powerful “up there”…

Now…, my trip :D The “I want to make you jealous” part :D First things first, what I really needed there? A BIKE!!! I rent one amazing bike which has the speed control panel broken :D The island is not big, but big enough to take a couple baths at different beaches :D I have photos :D I don’t want to describe everything, it’s boring for you to read how amazing was my weekend, so let’s make it shorter :P

I bought a camping tend for the islands, it’s cheaper and I love to camp! But it was even more cheaper than I was counting on (and with this, my ass grew a little bit more…). When I’ve got to the camping park, the reception was closed…, I just thought I had to do free camping, and I did…, inside the camping park! :D And with authorization, one old man was there and told me that I could camp by free inside of the park :D I could tell you about the detail that I tried to mount my tend on a bees’ nest, but it is too boring to do this without Ouso :P That story is really juicy with Ouso’s inspiration :P I tell you later :)

Despite what I initially though, I wasn’t alone in that park. We were 2, but I was the only one with a camping tend, the woman was sleeping inside of a camping-”dorm” or something like that. Strange “room” :x We spoke a lot after dinner, then I had to go sleep…, there were no lights on the park…

The other day, yesterday, I woke up at 7:30, I packed all my things and I went to another beach :D (Am I close to getting you upset with this? :D ) Then…, Ermoupoli, the Cyclades‘ capital! It is awful when you see from the boat…, it is amazing when you walk into the inner city! Ahh, and I spent a couple hours on another beach until I went to the port :D

Ok, this is the short version of my weekend :P Pretty amusing, no? :D

PS: Stephen, now you understand why I use to say that I really need to take classes to improve my English? :( At least, I don’t “cut” the end of the words here :P

    Curious, why do I think that when I arrive to Portugal everybody is going to tell me how lucky am I, as well?;)

  2. Gil, this pretty much captures the experience. I CANNOT BELIEVE that you made it to the ferry after the evening on the roof. You DO have a big ass!

    Hello Gil Sousa

    Sounds like a great adventure.
    Keep enjoying the beautiful Greece in a nice mood. Don’t sleep, don’t eat, just party and travel all night long!

    Bye
