Serenity Quest

I cracked the other night, decided that enough is enough and spent the night on a park bench. I couldn't see myself going home and it was so lovely outside. Yes, it probably was foolish and dangerous but I didn't see any other way to completely clear my mind of all the pressures being placed on me and ingratitude of others.

There I met total strangers that were willing to listen to me, of course the guys came flocking...whatever their intentions I was relieved to express myself without them having preconceived notions about me, the situation or others involved.

It's the first time I've done that and I do not intend to make a habit of it, still it's amazing how you and only the elements of nature, well I was dressed, without the phones, TV, computer, etc. takes you to another level. I wasn't meditating if that's what you're wondering absorbing the colors and smells surrounding me.

Zinedine Zidane comments on his world-famous headbutt:

I apologize to the children that saw that and their educators who have to teach what should and shouldn't be done. I am not proud of heat-butting Materazzi however I don't regret having done so. (TF1 20:00 News)

If you absolutely must watch the video...

You're guaranteed a good laugh at This is Broken on which customers can grumble with visuals, you'll understand once you visit!

Winning unites people. Losing isolates them. That's what happened last night after the Italian victory over the French team.

What the hell was Zizou thinking with that head-butt to Materazzi's chest!? Some way to end a career, with violence. Trezeguet misses the penalty shot. Thuram crying. Buffon ecstatic. Italy wins the World Cup after 24 years, beat Germany in 1982. Domenech isolates himself, very pensive, out of a job.

All in all an excellent final match!

Back in the real world, my sister pulls another disappearing act. She packed up everything and moved without even telling any of us, strange behavior. What made her do such a thing? My lovely nephew and nieces must feel isolated. She only thinks of herself.
