Things To Do with a Futbol

…that don’t require a net.

 

PS. Baseball involves a lot of talking.

The Jumps, the Balancing, the Synchronization

One of the best dance sequences in all of Hollywood musical history.

What Would They Think of Us?

Humans observe animal behavior and come up with hypotheses that become theories that become facts (or not).  Some behaviors can only be described as a series of actions for their intents and goals cannot be discerned.  What would other self-aware, intelligent lifeforms out there say about human dance?  Would they go for the mating-ritual explanation or would they come up with self-expression (provided they had some form of dancing too)?

Of all the pondering and believing I do about ideas or truths, intelligent alien species is not something I fully accept or reject.  I’m undecided.

 

My Blue Summer

Chinese pop has been on the brain once again.  I find Chinese music to be the best way to dissipate relentless inner monologues that won’t shut up.

The singer’s name is Valen Hsu and the song is called My Blue Summer.

 

Translated by yours truly.

As long as you want to go home, no matter how late, I will wait for you.
The sorrow of your heart’s pain, no matter how far, I can sense it.

Don’t you cry, I will lament for you.
Don’t you think about it, wait for the heavens’ arrangement.

Happiness ceases a fiery night.
Love is said to be beautiful and simple, and can ask for anyone to like it.
Forever, I’ll always struggle and wait for you.
Your love always stays in that blue summer sky.

As long as you want to go home, no matter how late, I will wait for you.
The sorrow of your heart’s pain, no matter how far, I can sense it.
