incredible.
This could be
addictive. Like... if it weren't for all that was
waiting for me at home? I would find a way to get paid
to travel the world and share it with people. 'Cause
it's like I'm living a different life every week. For
example, in my decade in LA I have never once visited
a dance club of any kind. Not that I can't dance, it's
just that my best shot at picking up a woman is
talking to her, not dancing. Oh and I've been married
90% of the time I've been in LA.
So me getting into
Athens at 1am early this morning, then proceeding to
go to a dance club (with my couchsurfing.com host) and
then dancing for 2 hours (thank GOD I have some "G" in
me) was culture shock to say the least. The funny part
is? A black dude came up to me and said he liked
my moves... and THAT made me happier than hooking up
EVER would have. LOL. Random hookups bore me -
but a brotha thinks I can dance?
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit. Straight, PIMPIN.
Then today while
lookin' for a silver ring in a flea market in Athens
this little greek girl running a store says in english
"hello" to which I respond: "is it that
obvious?". I mean come on - if I can't fit
in in Greece, where the hell can I? Is it like some
enlgish-speaking stench we tourists have? I think it's
'cause the locals don't shop at these places. Either
way - we talked for a bit and she offered to show me
around Athens when she closed. Enter Cameron's
confused look for my reaction:
Will it always
shock me? Like I had to fight the feeling to look
behind me 'cause clearly that's the guy she was
talking to. Will I ever have more "Live
Adam" swagger in me? I so wish I did.
I think that's why the dynamic of Cameron and
Adam works. Cam is jealous as hell of Adam, even if
he's far smarter and more interesting... and vice
versa. So every line those two speak to each other are
like two sides of my brain battling. I feel
like Cameron no matter how I may look.
Anyway - she took
me up to the Acropolis (I wonder if that's a euphamism
in Greece - LOL - I assure you, this was not) and the
view... Wow.
Please click the picture for
the super-massive version, shit took me quite awhile to put
together...
I have no
words. Just breathtaking. I will return here for my
running video before I leave. What a whirlwind 24
hours in Athens. Tomorrow I'm going to a greek island,
and for the first time in a looooooooooong time, I'm
going to have some time alone. I can't
wait.
