world traveller in summer years, artist, munky, rebel, embodying life's extremes of water - fire - air - earth - space, a spiritual being having a (very) human experience, juggling probs and projects, solving life's equation - for just those 2 cubic-metres of sensual experience, striving for the same destiny as you - merely on a different road... hug

Sometimes controversial, rebelling, polarizing shrug



Got initiated to firedancing in Byron '96, firestaff... didn't touch Poi for 3 years after hitting my balls with heavy firepoi, dared another try in 1999 and proceeded, got my kix in Koh Pha'Ngan 2002, then started a professional career shows in Germany, Brazil, India, held workshops worldwide...



...not the greatest spinner at all, ceased training two years, but am back into it...



sometimes pretty clumsy... rolleyes English is only my second lingo! Please take this into account... as a German I would often say "can you" instead of "could you please"... not engaging much in popularity contests and definitely not too much into Social Games and Chat. Idle talk is really something I consider not worth the precious air.



But definitely Nutella................................ on creamcheese toast or Belgium Waffles!!!



ubbrollsmile bounce



Registered 03 to HoP after promoting it since my first day spinning - never made the time to look or post rolleyes ... that's why the number is low, the errrr's are high... wink



Looking for where the home is for the heart - can't really decide so far as the planet is so genuinely beautiful...



ubblove and ubbidea to all of you

ubblol not quite poetic but I like both suggestions... smile

maybe adding in fine print: "if you can read this - it's to late" wink

The last days in Goa were spent with intense packing... gosh I forgot how much stuff fits in a house. All wrapped up and made monsoon-proof (I hope and will only find out next season)... put my bike on the train to Delhi and me myself had to take the plane [sic] yes, I planted four trees and 6 bushes... no, I'm not joking. Why 'had to'? The previous days were 18hrs and in the last night I only slept 3 hours... if then 36hrs on the train - I would have lost my mind. Maybe not to much to loose... thanks wink

Anjuna had some very dodgy things going on lately, maybe you heard of the Scarlet murder? I was s h o c k e d and that's not so easy to accomplish... The shack she went to that last of her nights? Well This has been the shack that I used to play chess almost every other day for two seasons.... I know almost everybody involved, except for the witness and the victim... close call. Lots of thoughts running through my head since... maybe another time.

Last night I arrived in Delhi, chose Main Bazaar/ Pahar Ganj for my accommodation but couldn't stand it more than one night... the breakfast has been at my table so fast - I couldn't even finish the funnies page in the papers... xcuse ME? I'm just arriving from Goa. Breakfast is supposed to take at least half an hour... Wow, the pace of the city is incredible.

So I got the advice of a special person and changed to the Tibetan colony... Gosh that's a different planet here... shanti, clean, no hussling and bussling... I like it smile

In three days the Olympic torch will pass through Delhi and certainly I will join peaceful protests. I'm kind of 'proud' that the Indian government is not prohibiting demonstrations, despite being called by the Chinese regime. Democracy? Way to go.

So much for now. Take care smile

and it looks as if you had as much luggage to carry (proportional to the bikes capacity)...

Imagine - the cow was seriously asking for a lift... :eeks:

I am so fortunate to already have (a much lighter) passenger. Dunno how I earned that, maybe at some time I tossed a coin in the right hat? rolleyes I feel blessed.

Note that bag with the staff on the other side of the bike? It's a ultra-bendable bamboo walking stick that I use for some biref practice... Gosh I haven't been able to practice in such a long time! My spare time seems to get sucked up by drama...

Got to run.

Lady: thank you so much for the support you have shown in the past days since. At some stage I felt we were not on best terms for explainable reasons. You have shown great personality and I don't quite know how to show my gratitude in return. It's funny - I got the impression that a few of the people who know me in real life seem to like me, but - most of the ppl who just know me from the internet or by sight alone, have (great) resentments...

I shall work on that (my way of expressing myself and my views online)...

Dunno whether that one is the right way: footinmouth

However - if you like to see more pictures

great photos firetom!

don't worry about your online articulation so much mate, it's what's in your heart that shines through, a desire to engage with people, chat about the big issues and increase your understanding of what makes people tick...I appreciate your contributions - I don't always agree with them, but then I didn't agree with a certain Mr Phule from this board long ago, but still miss him not being here

so thanks

hug

And Roguie - where on the Gods green earth were you riding to - I hoe not just down to the local shops ubblolThat's one big handbag! ubblol

Hello Mr. Tom,

how are you? On the last pictures of you I saw, you were always standing close to a girl and smiling. Is there maybe something you want to tell us?

ThIs girl(is my)friend from Moscow...
She's there and I'm in Munich... as my life currently is undergoing turmoil - we will see how this will progress.

How I am? ... breathing.

How are you, Ma'm?
Will I see you in Karlsruhe (EJC)?

Why are you in Munich? I thought you were in India. Oh wow, you've totally got my confuzzled now. ubbloco
Well' I hope you enjoy it wherever you are.
I won't be in Karlsruhe, as I still am in the US until the end of August shrug Missing out on another nice thing. *sigh* happens. But at least I surround myself with loads of hippies here. That evens it out, somehow, doesn't it?

You mean you're missing EJC and Burning Man in one go? umm ubblol that's a good score!

No serious, I reckon it's a brilliant idea to visit the US as long as we (Europeans) can, before they introduce whacko controls and sample our DNS...

I'm here in Munich on visit for family and friends sunny

Had a pretty rough, mind-rocking start - but am back on track. It's only one week that I'm in Europe (after 9 months abroad)... it already feels like eternity rolleyes kind of parallel universes unfolding...

Where in the US are you, Missy? Having Hippies round you? Humm - that sounds lovely smile It certainly evens out a lot of Bushes and Chaneys wink

Where are you going to be this Christmas? I thought about going somewhere where it's nice and warm then. Still not sure which country that is going to be.

Looks like I missed the cake day - sorry FT - hope twas a good one.

But I venture to suggest your statement "2 years I kept in the shade" to be inaccurate - in your own thread maybe but over in SD I venture to suggest you've been hogging the limelight!! grin hug
