I love Futbol

I don't care what you call it, futbol, football or Soccer, it's all the same to me. A marvelous display of skill, teamwork and strategy propelled by determination while maintaining a decorum of sportsmanship and respect. This mesmerizing sport captivates people from all walks of life around the world like no other.

I personally look forward to watching the World cup every 4 years. Seeing these players at the top of their game giving their all for their respective countries is inspiring. This year I was pleasantly surprised to see how well matched most of these teams were in their opening matches. By my stats, of the 24 opening matches played there were 9 draws, 4 with a GD of 1, 6 with a GD of 2, 3 with a GD of 3, 1 with a GD of 4 and 1 with a GD of 6. If you exclude the 5 matches with GDs of 3 or more, there were 19 matches that could have gone either way, isn't that amazing? 

Good luck to every team, I look forward to seeing you all at your best.

What a Match - USA vs Paraguay

 I cannot go to bed until I say it, GOOOOOAL!

Nice job y'all, as they say in the south. You played well most of the 1st half and got your rhythm back towards the end of the 2nd. Truthfully that last goal had me screaming. But more than that USA, you played as a team and that made this old soccer fan proud! 

Game on World.

Unspoken

Words don't always match the heart, 

they're strong when heart is torn apart.

They overflow in angry tone, 

when heart is bleeding all alone.

They're building blocks to shield the rain, 

as heart stands in the thick of pain.

No, words don't always match the heart, 

in-fact they're sometimes worlds apart.

Silly rhyme

Are you a willow or a pine? 

Doesn't matter, cause you're mine.

I will watch you as you grow, 

and in time you'll let me know.

Too Much?

Is it too much to dream

like the twinkling stars.

To reach beyond the hurdles

that surround who you are. 

To kindle the sparks 

in hope of a flame. 

To blaze through the moments 

that all seem the same. 

Is it too much to seek courage 

when crippled by doubt. 

To whisper in the echoes 

of cold endless shouts. 

To press on determined

as tears cradle skin.

Refusing to let darkness win, 

to decide where they end...

you begin!

A thought (in a stack of old papers).

Shadows are mute observers of a life in the light.
