ok, rmac and others, you're all spared a long post...too many other things to talk about...some more important than others...
...on saturday, the original team that met so long ago in the johnson's living room in salinas got together to mark our first year in durango...it was a really cool time of remembering what's happened and seeing how far we've come in this first year...i think the overall theme was: "i can't say anything has gone as i've expected, but i love that and i wouldn't trade this year for anything."
...last week i got sicker then i've been in a long time and so my run this saturday is somewhat in jeopardy...i'm still leaning towards running, but last week was a major setback...
...fantasy baseball update...this league has turned into a two team race between myself (aka rmps59) and the Enraged Echidnas (if anyone knows what "echidnas" means, i'd love to know)...as of today i'm at 95 points, Echidnas is at 91.5, but we constantly flip flop between first and second...
...soccer update: arsenal's best player, thiery henry, jumped to the spanish league this week, which means arsenal is in trouble and not likely to improve on last years third place finish...also the US beat Mexico yesterday 2-1 to win the Gold Cup...the US is now 9-2-1 against Mexico in this millenium...the average US citizen probably has no idea that this is the case.
...i just got the new Project 86 album "Rival Factions"...it makes me feel so good to hear Andew Schwab's voice again, so full of energy and rage, with fresh material...i'm not normally too into the "hard" music scene, but i love this band...it's been too long Project...
...finally, after much urging, i saw the movie "Freedom Writers"...it got me...i'll admit it...very inspiring..
...finishing "The Book of Lost Things," and starting "The Blogging Church," and "A Thousand Splendid Suns" the new novel by Khaled Hosseini (author of the Kite Runner)
...i guess that was kind of long...oh well...hope everyone is enjoying a summer as beautiful as the one we are having in Durango...peace!

the funny thing about the soccer game.....there was a big festival/event at the sports complex...they televised the game etc....the crowd there was bummed with the result....oh well, in the end they fired up the mariachi band and partied on anyway!
Why did you have to be convinced to watch "Freedom Writers"? I was inspired too - who wouldn't want to be a teacher like that? But...she was not NOT a hero in her marriage (neither was he) and that just taints the whole thing to me. anywhoo...Peace! yourself!
Echidnas, [ɪ'kɪdnə], sometimes also referred to as "spiny anteaters". Check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echidna very cool....I'm not sure I would want to be in a battle with one...be careful, man. :-)
thanks bruce! you are the man. not only are the spiny anteaters, they are enraged...not good.
What are you thoughts on Transformers? THAT'S what I want to read about in your blog.
OPTIMUS PRIME, baby.
i was once in a band that serious considering Optimus Prime as our name...i loved transformers.
Here's what I want: a Transformer that turns into the iPhone baby.
Communication and a robotic creature to do my bidding.
Man, at the premiere I'm wearing my Optimus Prime pajamas AND pillow. And my pickup line?
"I'm more than meets eye, baby."
rmac...that might have been the greatest comment ever in the history of this blog
Or any other blog on the face of the internet.
Let's ride!! BIYAH!!
i'm jealous that you saw freedom writers. for some strange reason they're not showing it here.
i hope you approve me. and i hope you're doing well :)
oh, yesterday i met a girl named sarah beth (this actually isn't a very interesting story, but you're one of hte only people I can tell it to) and she was very very unimpressed that i'm related to a sarah beth. i think she even rolled her eyes at me when i told her.
