Precision

On 23 February 2008, in the Rákóczi street, downtown, Pécs, in the cold night (temperature: 3°C) at 23:12 pm in the middle of heavy drinking of various alcoholic liquors (beer, wine, whiskey) right after 2 hours 13 minutes and 56 seconds of skateboarding, 5 friends of mine (two at the age of 21, three at 18) and me (born at Pécs, 25. 07. 1986) got stopped by 3 bald persons (age: 16, 18, 19, weight: too heavy to mention, IQ: -20), governed by prejudice and racism. One of them (the biggest and most aggressive one) grabbed me by my coat, right above the last button, but below my neckerchief (Middle English nekkerchef, from nekke + kerchef kerchief. Date:14th century) and started to list my ancestors with non-pleasurable attributes (no example granted). After 43 minutes and 23 seconds of tutor-speech about why we shouldn’t get exterminated, we managed to be able to ”walk” away at 20 km/h speed, mostly on foot.

Surprises

Check this out! We’ve just started to drink after skating-hey! Just what a great spot we found! – when we –and you wouldn’t believe this! Bumped into 3 stupid skinheads! Three of them! Imagine how we felt then-and guess what: we didn’t even make up a fight! Hell no! Though we were 5! What we did was: we just walked away! Really we did! Crazy, isn’t it?

Hesitation

How it was? Well I’m trying to make up my mind here.. There were like .. 6 of us? No wait!.. Five! It was Five! And we were culling flowers I guess..or maybe.. getting drunk? But we were interrupted by some..some.. how do you call them..those Shaolin folks you know..but.. let me see. Oh they were no Shaolins but bald anyway.. I remember them having some problem with us..I dunno..I’m wondering if they did know?.. So one of them asked me the time..oh sorry, they actually insulted us..and..uuhhmm...we grabbed our skateboards and beat the living crap out of them?..No, I got it!.. we walked away...

Dream

I’ve had a nightmare.. Can’t really remember the whole of it.. It was dark.. pitch black it was. And freezing. First my friends were with me but after it felt like I’m all alone. Then they appeared! Those.. Monster-like creatures! They approached me! Wild and strong beasts. One of them even touched me! Man, I get the creeps just by thinking of it! Its hands - or whatever it had – were cold as ice, but its breath.. as it laid close to me for a few seconds.. breathing fiery and stifling in my face.. Then all of a sudden.. it was gone!

Notation

Saturday night. The time for our usual going out. Skateboards and booze in the hand. Five of us going down on Rákóczi Street. Three skins coming upwards. They pick at us. Of course they do. We’re not in for a fight. We tell them. They don’t care and grab me anyway. We’re telling them some hodgepodge about us all standing on the same side. It works. They are easily controlled. We move along.
