It's the journey that matters

7

Nothing ever stays the same. In 2012-13, making friends at SG was a joy -easy, fun. I took a year off and met many SG's in person which was interesting - young and fun, even if a bit narcissistic. When I rejoined in 2015-16, it was less easy, and less fun. Maybe it was the new site format, maybe it was me, maybe it was...

Wise words and nice poem! These verses are applicable far beyond SG. Hope many will read your blog and grow by reflecting on their journey.

Blogging in the SG World

11

Some time ago, SG HQ asked its SG's to get more active in blogging. Not everyone loved that, but imho has dramatically improved the (non-pic) quality of the site. Also, by choosing the same theme for all, it's fun to compare what some very different people write about the same topic. Thumbs up!

With that said, there is something unnatural about every blog starting with...

Crazy travels

Five days back from four months in Greece, I got on a plane and didn't stop for weeks. Very productive. Now back ten days, and I'm off for a 16 day roadtrip of Uruguay and Bueno Aires with a friend of mine from this site. I'm nervous but stoked. Hola!

btflday777:
Have an awesome travel, be safe and have lots of fun! PS: Don't be nervous, it's going to be all fine!
arroia:
Only when it comes to soft and fluffy things. ;)

How was the trip?

What are the Chances by Dusk is a nice easy song. I couldn't find any tabs for it either, but I bumped onto this, which I find quite nice, it's similar to Guitar Pro in some ways, just only with chords.

I am caught in an extreme cycle of partying in Athens. Extensive group of fun (all male) friends, we get together at midnight, grab a quick bite and we go off to clubs or bars. Lately we've been going from clubs at 5am to homes till 9am. It's a great group - we light up every place we go, everyone wants to sit with us....

A tough decision to take Alex! Take it on with a pro's and con's table for the two options, add a "weighting" column, that's a multiplier, sum it all up and see what comes out. If you don't like the result, you know exactly that you want the opposite even better, so feel free to tweak your responses and weightings accordingly wink In every case, both choices are awesome!

I humbly admit that I have just learned from you about "Burning Man". Wow, very interesting! I keep reading up on the event, survival guide, principles and all the projects. I should get out more from my high tech and musical world, I live in a bubble! blush
I would say that I likely won't participate this year, but I will put some serious effort to learn more and maybe next year.

Happy guy !

Exhausted but giddy, we boarded the ferry back to Athens. Plan was simple hang out at the deck for a beer, then off to sleep in the cabin. Panagiotis and Mihalis both had to work at 8am that morning, so they had to get some rest. I even left my guitar and amp in the car, not thinking there was any reason to play. I...

Well I like the monster that was created. I find you refreshing. smile

Probably more like cliff notes. I should do that sometime. ha ha. Loads got deleted because the company reads blogs. Likely not this one, but no chances taken. I need to cull through them all and make sure I have information wiped out. I have not fully finished yet. One project after another. smile

OK, I don't feel bad for you at all now! biggrin
Ferrari, Lana Del Rey, ...
Looking forward for more adventure stories wink

Epic trip Alex! Now I know why you were growing the beard, so you can blend better with those 58k Hippies! wink
Sorry about the car, hope it's all resolved!
Awesome pictures, I can tell you guys had a lot of fun! biggrin (well, and glad you are alive, after that Cretan was drawing his Beretta!)
Waiting for the exclamation mark!... now what can that be!?

My best friend George has a serious motor fetish. A collectible Rolls, a Mercedes ML SUV, several Harleys and Ducatis, and a 997 Porsche C4. So when he said, we'll go out in the Porsche to meet some friends with Porsche's, honestly I thought nothing of it, other than we'll be drinking at some new watering hole tonight. What should have tipped me off was...

Very cool that you enjoyed my blog music playlist, I just didn't update it for ages wink
Yep, got a YouTube channel, but I have not posted anything yet. You are welcome to subscribe (I'll send you a note on YouTube, so you can find me). I subscribed to yours a few days ago, great song performances!
btflday777:
You are correct, responding to comments from your blog is done on the other person's blog. But no worries, I'll find your comments in any case, wherever you post them wink
Can't wait for the continuation of your story, especially the concert on the ferry deck part and the nice Bulgarian lady eeekbiggrin

So, now we are in Greece. Athens, specifically. Here I was born and raised, in the heart of the red light district, before leaving for Berkeley at seventeen with my guitar, two hundred bucks and a tuition check. That's a longer story I'm way too lazy to tell. I've since moved away from the brothels to the Northern suburbs, where the better areas in Athens...

Thanks Rudi! Here's an earlier pic of the house. I lost all three of my beautiful palm trees this year, due to a disease pandemic introduced from Africa in 2004 Olympics. It was so sad. When I get a job next, I'll be adding trees, wooden pergolas, and a jacuzzi. Best part of the renovation - a large granite kitchen instead of the shitty little ones they have here, and 110v plugs throughout, in addition to 220's

Great picture Alex! Awesome vegetation around the house! Hmm, sorry about the palms, that's very sad, I can tell from the picture it looked perfect! Wish you the best on your upcoming additions, enjoy seeing the progress!
You are going to start a trend when all your friends and neighbors will see your awesome large granite kitchen! They all will want one just like that!
