Where or where do I begin...
I shouldn't have left you without a dope beat to step to. It has been a minute since I have sat and reflected on all that is going on right now. So much so little at the same time. Let this be my stream of consciousness - I've got to start with the French, and the rest of the World Cup madness. Being employed by Nike, World Cup 06' was shoved down our throat as Nike launched one of its largest initiatives ever. Low and behold not one Nike team was in the final, and only one in the quarter final. The hallowed Brasil was knocked out by the French in the semi's in an amazing upset on the pitch and in the business arena. Adidas is not suppose to beat Nike, with its marketing savy and world class players. However Nike's attempt to dominate at this years World Cup fell short by a goal. Even Portugal and there run was stopped short by the Germans in an amazing overtime game that called for late heroics for the Adidas powerhouse to move on. And the Italians, God bless the italians with their swagger and heart behind all of the controversy that surrounded them they stayed focus and true finishing with amazing spirit. Yet back to where we started, the French - Zidane Zinadane possibly one of the best players in the world throughout his career was amazing throught this years cup. Leading his team as a great veteran should, calming them, steadying them, placing the ball so effortlessly into the box to assist the French in to the World Cup final. A player who is revered throughout the soccer community, one would think he would have world class spirit on the pitch, yet even the best lose their cool. His head but to Italian player Materazzi in the chest will be question for the rest of his career. It quite possibly cost his team the chance to hoist the trophy after their galant run through this cup, I guess we will never know what will have happend had Zidane not left the pitch. To all the French players, especially Henry, Vieara, and Zidane cheers!
Now to other matters...
The world and context of having and ex boyfriend or girlfriend can be quite interesting. Afterall you both have shared your time, space and selves with one another for any given amount of time. You both have triumphed and defeated you both have won each other over and at times lost each other in the midst. Love is a fickle emotion, and it has no rules, cares nothing about color creed or circumstance. It just is, it effects you over runs you and causes you to do things most normal conscious human beings would not do. More specifically I have recently broken up with a girlfriend. After two years of love, pushing and pulling us around in its uncontrolable twist we finally let go. Or did we? We still talk, if we see each other still argue as if so much from our past still remains uncrossed, unfullfilled. How does closure come, when one seeks it or when one is ready for it? And does time heal all wounds or does it just allow for space to bandage and cover such incescions? These are all questions I am still trying to answer as we head down the fickle path of a love once shared. My only hope is that somehow we get back to the eye of the storm. While all the turmoil surrounds us, hopefully we will be able to share one peaceful moment again with no weight attached. Faith tells me to believe in such a moment, however my present reality doesn't call for such favor. She brings gas to my fire and together we explode. Someone bring water, we have been burnt...hurt and are still trying to heal our wounds. In due time friend. Peace...In due time
On still we must go...
This past couple of weeks has also led to a couple of good oppurtunities. Sometimes God just places certain things in your life for you to grasp a hold of. All is a matter if you are ready or not for these oppurtunities. God willing I can take these gifts and fly - literally. I need a change of schemes a change of plans a change of heart. I think this gift could direct more towards those things, hopefully faith will come through and I will find the path I search for. This world is so fickle ( my new favorite word). An adjustment here, a flick here and everything can change. Its really upon you to be ready for that change, accept it and move on. Something inside of me seeks this change with endless reserve. I just hope I find where I suppose to be, and possibly I am already here.
All in all, everybody loves the sunshine and summeritme is in full bloom. I must say I'm enjoying it to the fullest. Chicago is great this time of year. To all my friends and fam, peace and love. I hope to see all of you soon, you are missed. & that's real.
Peace
...Im leaving on a jet plane I don't know when I'll be back again
