Strange

He's a freak of nature
but we love him so
He's a freak of nature
but we let him go
-Red Hot Chili Peppers

Time both slouches and sprints. Yesterday recedes yet gains an ever larger share of our consciousness. The future is tomorrow yet always out of arm's reach. Willingly, i shift into unconsciousness.

When Atleti draws in a game they should have won, it always brings out the philosopher in me.
They are not in good shape heading to Portugal in two weeks.

But i did get to see my friend Alastair from Dublin (one of the Martian's friends). He was in town for the Champions League game. We had beers on the terrace and then went to the game.

My student, Julio, said "You like soccer? You are very strange."

i've heard it all before.
