Mighty Mighty Timbers

I did not venture into the beer garden and only made it into the army for a few short moments as I had a had a full lot of kids tonight...We were treated well tonight as season ticket holder so we got wings and a pitch side seat for the game.

Despite that, what a crazy awesome night at PGE Park....15,833 involved people and the Army side of the field was completely packed and The Timbers Army was loud as hell and the electricity in the stadium was unreal....

And the Mighty Mighty Timbers won, (1-0) and seriously the place went crazy when Justin Thompson scored his first goal of the season to give the Portland Timbers a 1-0 win over the Charleston Battery.

What a night...one of the best sporting events I have ever been to. The playoffs are next .....

This win going on the road will definitely lift the spirits of the boys," said Gavin Wilkinson, Portland's first-year head coach.

We need to get the entire city out for the next game.....Beer, Singing and good sport...

Nothing Day

Spent the morning watching the Phillies game..they lost.....and trying to burn music for friends.
Little simple things that are not so simple.....

Yoga tonight was so full of people and I was one of the masses
and struggled in the standing poses given my long run of yesterday.

Its funnu when your mind is all over the place and all the sudden it drifts back to where it should be.

Its raining...and quiet and beautiful.

Daofdoing Nothing (sic)

Marina called and her Mom is doing her usual gyrations and the young kitten we used to have returns as a full grown whale.....

I woke up in a good mood today and this is really cool. Its been a grind lately and there is a sudden little sliver of grandiose hope. My back being the conundrum that it is went for a run with me in forest park....I took my mind also and it was wonderful to see the lush green of the park.. And my back was good...

11 or 12 miles.

I was a bum the rest of the day doing stupid little stuff that had to be done; things like doing all the wash, getting the yoga towels off the porch, fixing the fridge, watering the garden...and just sitting back and enjoying the day .......

and sitting and listening.....to a special person I have just met.. Flabbergasted ....hating technology when it might work..happy for what I have....

and a gentle rain.....Falls in Oregon......The sound of it is sweet.....

The growth it offers......Insatiable....

Wow A Normal Day

Where I am six weeks from leaving my job, and I have been living with that for two weeks and finally I am feeling the inertia of moving forward....
A positive thrust forward....
Back to my favourite little theory Maslow and his hierarchy of needs.

Basic Needs (Physiological)
On the low level -everything is getting take care of as for some an occupation is higher in the hierarchy and lately for me it has not been. Sometimes I think my hierarchy is different than most people on the planet...

Safety Needs
Just trying not to get pummelled by some dumb ass in a Muscle Car on 26.....

Social Needs
I had the most spectacular day on the planet. In my own little world today was a day where the crescent moon sunk in the western sky and that being the phase of the moon where Maxie was born brings a tug to my heart and actually having a weird quirk in the cosmos I was able to share that tonight. What Maslow fails to recognize in any of his little theories (as great as they are) that the Universal them in this stage is the idea of hope. Hope for the future....This allows one to progress up the hierarchy; and today I am abundantly hopeful. Liking Sports is not a bad thing, I have liked it all my life.

Esteem Needs
This here lies withs ones vision of ones self....I think physical fitness falls in this place and tonight against my nature Yoga connected and hit me to the core....I am about 15 classes in and something I used to hate, I truly like, not that I am the best at it but I certainly give it my best.

Self Actualization

I think I accomplished it today by combining all the levels above....I probably missed something and I only decided to write this blog today because, i want to write this blog today as I am abundantly hopeful.

Little Things

The Phillies

Behind the sweet
Summer fade
You'll knock me down
Like a tidal wave
