What a day!

We´d been in the inferior island, gracies to my uncle leaving us his car. As a little thx we brought him a bottle of "Hierbas Ibiciensas", a yummy liqueur of rural herbs. Oops! He told us that he is a dry alcoholic for 10 yrs. now! If I had only known...Anyway, no big deal, we have it now, and we are even allowed to smoke,if we want to, in his presence. Gosh, he has changed so much thru the yrs. but still he keeps his way juvenile looks from what I remember in my youth. Only his hair recedes more than my Dad´s. And his bartender is an australian born girl, if they all look like her, Australia will have a new brain reaseach Sc.D. in no time! :-D ...Daniel was of course right, that all the places to go are closed now, but we can visit Barrio Alto by Night, a spectale sponsored by my uncle on behalf of the still ongoing celebrations of the 20th anniversary of his restaurant. Hastas luegos! Pilgrim...P.S., I have a lousy wifi, so times of my post will vary.

Ibiza again

Early this morning we(me and Gf.) arrived at Ibiza airport for a nice out of season holiday, no germs, no dutch, no brits so long. Only change, no hotel but my uncles house. Great! Maybe I send you some pics. And after a lengthy nap we were at his restaurant for a nice lunch, Now we  wait for dinner. Tadah Pilgrim...P.S., please comment an my Ittifadah- post!

...and the results

Intifadah

Weird day

So, last morning I got to the Instute, did my expeted research on our brain, we named it Émile, after asong from Jaques Bél, a compatriote, who lived in Paris like me. Lunch, more studies, then off to training. So far so good! When I returned home, there was a huge bouquet of fleur de Lys of the expensive kind in front of our appartments door. I looked for a dedication card for Fabrice, and found one for me! It´s been from Val. Now, how gay is that, sending flowers to another boy?! I would like to put up a new poll on this subject. That´s all for now. And please, some more comments as on my last post, it´s not that difficult! Laters Pilgrim

Fab´s. b-day

I took a day off for his birthday, we had another brunch of  the better kind.  We had some clams and cheese, baguette uux ailes etc. Then we did a little comp. which he won(I couldn´t let him loose)! ;-) For dinner we wemt w/my Gf and a girl he likes to Hélene Darrroze, my fave cook and restaurant ealier this eve,., it was a great day for him(as he said). Tadah Pilgrim

Nice day

It was a bright day, and we, Fab., my Gf. and me had an outdoor brunch. Then Fab. and I went a bit rolling, trying some new tricks or altered older ones. I mean, one has to be good because the SlammJamm will be a first qualifier for next years WRC in Tehachapi, Ca. and it´s the last big european contest this year. What comes later is all in skatehalls, where events are necessarily smaller, but you should see the afterparties!:-D                            So long for now, we let the day end watching Lord of the Rings, some chips and redwine. Tadah Pilgrim                      

Winners and an apology

Yep, so we´ve beaten St. Etienne 23 to 17. I had five goals. For me it was the first match of the season for me, after all. We had a little party in our locker room, baguette sandwiches and beer.

This brings me to the apology for the awful typos in my last post. Never have 3 Long Island Ice Teas at happy hour, if you didn´t eat s/thing before.:-) Thus this morning I wondered that I actually received two comments on that crap!Thx!
Well, Torchy tagged me for this game Tyler brought up, but I consider not to take part in it. Sorry peepz, no private info about me in such a condensed form, let alone that I still don´t know how to put txt over a pic or between pics. Laters Pilgrim

Rugby et Val

Val watched my training this afternoon, thuogh I didn´t see him. I was plyaxing rugby! When we finished he waited at the door. We went for a drink and then wen home, So easy, Merchrche! :Es nada de todo a fare!....and for my peepz, we can mae it, being gay, bi like me or whatever,Short one for you, I gotta skate...p.p.ps., Jamsey, if you read me, you might grt me! If noz, oct.16-17 is Rampworx contest at Liverpool! Won´t you come over, m< sweetie? Tadah Pilgrim

A last training

We have a last training for the game tomorrow. A hard gun. We play St. Etienne, who were last years champion. Uummpf!!! Elsehow I had a job to help to develop pics of our brain from last week, but in slices. So, next time, you have pineapple slices, think of me! :-D Bbl. Pilgrim...Anon. from Yugoslavia, thx1 I do not have a MSN nor Skype! Doswidanje!

Don´t congratulate too early

Thx to all who congtratulated me on my lover, but hey! Read, what I had to say about Val before. I´m still thinking about his sort´a proposal. ...Then, there is an interesting discussion on Jason Carwin´s blog, go, read it too. ...I have not much to say tonite, I am tired from a day of work at the institute, and in the skateshop. Laters Pilgrim

A late post - for me

I latelely read so many angry or sad post in our community, that I start to ask me, what the heck is going on. Blake in sheer rage, Torchy disappointed, Rapha gone. What else must happen to make us all, be we bi, gay or whatever, happy or at least calm on current situations, Of cours, I named only a few, but it´s more widespread as I thought. Level down, you w/the minor probs, keep cool you w/the harder probs! I presume you all deserve better, but one can´t have all, we know that, but what does it help? And if anyone who follows me and really reads my blog, may find out, where this rather erratic quote comes from! :-) ...on a much brighter note, I met Val after training, and we went over to him, which seemed quite a drag to me, again half across the city, from 17th Arr. to 8th, then home to 5th. But it was worth it. Now I have officially a lover! Wooah! Tadah Pilgrim...p.s., more tomorrow.

So much help & offers, thx!

It´s true, on behalf of this I want to thank Torchy, Baz and Wkboy! So, I will pm you, Baz a.s.a.p., Wkboy, Hotel was already booked yesterday, sorry, and last but not least Torchy, thx for the map, if you know how to enlarge it to print, I´d be grateful to know. Well, that´s it atm., gotta go to rugby training like every tuesday. Bbl. Pilgrim... oops, thx to Seth for the encouragement. :-)

Slammjamm XI 2009

That´s the name of the first big contest after my injury. It takes place at Rampworx skatepark in Liverpool, Oct. 16/17th. Can you give me some input about the city, because I usually stay a day or so longer to do a bit of sightseeing and as far as I know, there will be nobody from the Posse, exept my Bro., who in this case is only few help. And I need to know how far is it from John-Lennon-Airport to Aintree, wher my hotel is?! Thx in advance. Laters Pilgrim

An advice to Torchy and our part of the Blogosphere

Regarding the comment Torchy left me on "Eid al Fitr"(the only one), I have to admit, that I once read the qur´an for the purpose to gain arguments in religious disscussions. Since, there are peepz who regard me as a muslim. I´m far from it, but explaining a muslim where he goes wrong in his sight of Islam is always fun. :-) ...Torchy, you please never go w/your co-worker to the friday prayers, because there are some rather simple phrases and - bang - you are a muslim. It´s so simple and has nothing so prestigious as a baptism of even adults. On the other hand, if one cares a bit and avoids to go into a mosque, one is safe. But never ignore the others faith as it will only stir interreligious relations. Bbl. Pilgrim...P.S., this doesn´t mean to have muslim friends!

Eid al fitr - Ramadan´s end

On this occasion I have an invitation to this islamic feast for lunch and dinner. Ok, lunch is done, dinner at 8pm CET by Rafiq´s family. It´s the first day after Ramadan, when you can eat again in plain daylight and do what you want to do, smoking publicly again, sex, candy bars, and what not. One of Islam´s highest feasts, like our Christmas. Children get presents from family 3 days in a row. But due to our western culture the big day is mostly Eid al Fitr., since kids have to go to school, parents to work or occupation. And I feel really honored to be invited as a christian. :-) Tadah Pilgrim...tell me your experiences w/moslems since 9.11., will you?!

On frequent request, me skating 2008

Hope to fill your need w/this nightly shoot from a promo of BE-MAG in 2008 and deffo bye till tomorow!

Only winners are popular

As I txted the other day, today was a local streetcontest in various places. Like run the city!*lol* In 4 of 6 places Iwon and therefore became a total winner w/95.3 against Stephane Alfano! YAY! ...I want to thank you all for your comments on my last post, probs. never had so many comments. That doesn´t mean you shouldn´t comment anymore,:-) of course! ...and many thx to my new fan Merche for her(to me) absolute adoration. I´m just a normal human guy! My knowledge comes mostly from my Dad. ...To my german readers, do you like this saxonian language? I find it just bleah! My reason for this? One of the participants was from Dresden and though I can understand german, I couldn´t understand him. ...Well, I´m off to a last bbq. and the afterparty! Tadah Pilgrim

Ewww, real human brain

Today we had to dismember a human brain from a head we got from La Salpétriere for reseach on Alzheimers. It was awful to hear a saw cutting off the headplate to open. I mean it was my first encouter w/a body part, that might play a key role in my future scientific life. Anyway, I didn´t vomit, another girl(whoelse) fainted briefly, but asked for what had been up w/this brain of approximately 80 yrs. old, I remembered what I was told on brain plaques. And this was a severe case. Turned out, it was an unannounced first test and I got like 98%. Looks, I can make my settings in time that way. :-) ...on a lighter note; thx you all who commented on my last post. Be sure, I´ll take care! Tadah Pilgrim

Short update

The doc declared my leg offically as sound and in good shape. So no more driving across the city for physio, rugby training next week will be to the full extent and on Saturday I do a local street contest, where I will wear an elastic manchette for safety reasons. Tadah Pilgrim
