I've watched more World Cup this year than in past years. Although that's not really saying much since I've only watched a total of about 5 minutes before this year. This year I've watched a total of 35 minutes.
I'm starting to understand the game a little more and I'm starting to see the appeal of the game. HOWEVER, I don't believe that this will be the year we all embrace soccer and it becomes a popular sport here.
Every four years I hear about how we Americans will finally grab a hold of the sport that the rest of the world loves.
We don't.
So what?
Why do we have to love it? I can like it, but it's not going to become an obsession here. Think about it. We're always stubborn when it comes to the rest of the world. When are we joining the rest of the world by using the metric system? I remember them teaching it to me in elementary school.
Although there is one thing from this year's World Cup that I hope we do embrace...those awesome vuvuzelas!

One small detail I like about Bonnaroo ... the security people's shirts say "Safety" and "Here to help". They seem well-trained and they do the things security folk do ... but I like the emphasis on safety and that they're doing these things...
The Jack Johnson show last night was terrific. He'd been coming just to hang out with other musicians, maybe do a late night jam with friends in ALO. Very low-pro, as Jack said. That changed when Mumford had their medical emergency...
Still no mag. This is as close as my phone zoom can get. The dancers are sparkly. Bjork has a dress that looks like duct work from a dryer vent. The hat face thing looks like a cross between bubble wrap and pinhead from Hellraiser. Which could all be...
We waited at the main gate for over a half hour. A dozen safety full were poised to open the fences. Three on horseback provided back up. When they opened them up, it was a speed walk at first. Upon seeing that another, distant gate had...
