National Championships

My fiance, Amy Nanson (shown left, smacking the crap out of the ball), is currently playing in the NAIA national championship tournament (and kicking massive amounts of butt) along with the rest of the Point Loma Sea Lions. I am very proud of her. If you're interested you can follow the results here or even watch a live online play-by-play here (just click on the scores to the right of the game you are interested in - no video, sorry).

I Love This Man

Chomsky may be right, professional sports may be the biggest single distraction that keeps people (especially Americans) from educating themselves and forming opinions about more important matters...but still, especially after last night, I love Raja Bell. And I will watch as many more 3 1/2 hour playoff games as the suns want to throw at me.

And just for good measure...



Peace.

A Credo On Pain

I believe in Beauty and Grace,
So I believe in Pain(1).
Because I believe these can be Painful(1),

Because I also believe in pain(0).
And this is hideous and graceless.

Though I have lived them both,

The distinction comes not from
how I experienced or interpreted,
But from the source and the end.
Whether I acted alone, was acted upon,
Was shaped, or further malformed.
