woke up early today. been catching up on laundry and watching live soccer online. messi scored again yesterday in barcelona's win. if you're a fb friend of mine, you're probably sick of hearing me talk about him. I can't help it. he's as fun to watch as any footballer I can remember. makes it look so easy. the world cup is just around the corner. I support USA of course, with england being my 2nd favorite. these are the only two teams I can pull for against messi. I believe there's a good chance he and argentina could run away with this one, but I'm hoping we can make a respectable showing. USA will have a good squad out there. will they show up to play is the question.
life has been good since I last blogged. I'm enjoying it. got a new bike about a month ago from a kid I work with. it's an early 70's nishiki cruiser. paid more for lights than I did for the ride. louisville might be more bike friendly than milwaukee. the parks and trails are incredible here. this really is an interesting city. I've been soaking it all in. had a moment of clarity at the river the other day before work when I realized how unappreciative I have been at times. I still miss lake michigan, but the ohio river, especially here, is nothing to scoff at. skills on the longboard are rising. fresh pavement, parking garages, hills in old louisville and downtown. I can't explain the peace I get on the board. my mind is in a zen-like state of awareness when carving up the concrete. the weather is cooperating. been kicking the footbag around with friends. about to start playing in an indoor soccer league. played two games of chess yesterday, 1-1.
went to see sts9 in covington a few weeks ago and then pnuma trio came to town last week. still high from those shows. summer ahead and future travels to smile about. hulaween! borrowed zadie smith's "white teeth" from my brother and am about halfway through it. it's a beautiful story. excellent character development. I can tell I'm going to be a little sad when I finish it. I've been writing lately. some days it's good. some days it's shit. but it's the journey to the source. there's no destination. happy to be alive today. thankful for grace and mercy.
