whale song as food for thought
I'm reading this book that I happened to come across at the $1 book sale at the SF Public Library - "The Moon By Whale Light," by Diane Ackerman. It's an incredible book of non-fiction. I'm realizing that I can learn more about human nature's good intentions by studying the way animals communicate with each other - the echolocation of bats, the dance of a crocodile and especially the singing of the Humpback whales. Here's an thought-provoking passage that I feel worth revisiting again and again:
"... mind is such an odd predicament for matter to get into. I often marvel how something like hydrogen, the simplest atom, forged in some early chaos of the universe, could lead to us and the gorgeous fever we call consciousness. If a mind is just a few pounds of blood, dream, and electric, how does it manage to contemplate itself, worry about its soul, do time-and-motion studies, admire the shy hooves of a goat, know that it will die, enjoy all the grand and lesser mayhems of the heart? What is mind, that one can be out of one's? How can a neuron feel compassion? What is a self? Why did automatic hand-me-down mammals like our ancestors somehow evolve brains with the ability to consider, imagine, project, compare, abstract, think of the future? If our experience of mind is really just the simmering of an easily alterable chemical stew, then what does it mean to know something, to want something, to be? How do you begin with hydrogen and end up with prom dresses, jealousy, chamber music? What is music that it can satisfy a mind, and even perhaps function as language?"

A Giant Parade!
On November 1, 2010, the San Francisco Giants became the World Champions for the first time in history! It was one of the greatest times I can remember being here in The City, and I also experienced the greatest connection to my birthplace that I ever remember.
Two days later, SF exploded into a sea of Orange & Black as 1.5 million fans descended upon the downtown area to welcome our champs home. It was an amazing outpour of support and love for our team! I am blessed to have shared that beautiful moment with such amazing friends, so now, I share my memories with you!
Music: Wide Eyes, Local Natives
(I'm going to make another one where I bleep out the expletives, but I like the raw feeling to it right now. Not too many expletives. Plus we got Timmy Lincecum who made "F*ck Yeah!" the Giants slogan for 2010. It was on the tip of everyone's tongue.)

on baseball, dreaming and loving
A few weeks ago, one of my girlfriends asked me what was it about baseball specifically that created such die-hard fans. Why was it that when nine players take the field, people from all walks of life cast aside their differences in the ballpark or in a sports bar and form a camaraderie under the colors of their team's uniform?
It's the dream, I told her. Baseball is not just our national pastime, but it's also the American Dream. Our heroes on the field pull us out of our daily routine once a year from late spring to early fall, and with them we must hope and we must believe that our dream of winning it all against the odds becomes a reality.
We step on the roller coaster ride with them in April and we live their drama, sometimes with all the twists and turns of a Hollywood screenplay - though when we buy our tickets, we don't know if we're off to see a comedy or tragedy, if our team will give us the feel-good movie of the year, or if it will end in bloodbath and we must close our eyes because it's too painful to watch. Or maybe, just maybe, the final scene will leave you crying tears of joy.
When my favorite player steps up to the plate, I can imagine it's me. I visualize smacking that ball far into the outfield. I hear the crack of the bat. I watch the ball soar past the outfielders' reach... long, far and uncatchable. I am running the bases. I am sliding home. I am listening to the cheers and applause. I am hi-fiving my team mates.
Baseball is such an American icon that its significance goes beyond the sport itself. Baseball is inherent in the American psyche. In budding relationships, holding hands brings us to first base. Kissing brings us to second. Then there's the joke about how men fantasize about hitting a home run while having sex. We refer to our boyfriends and girlfriends as a good catch.
We make pitches in business meetings. We expect people of integrity to step up to the plate. When we're in a sticky situation, we're in a pickle. We strike out if a guy that we fancy doesn't call back. Life throws us curve balls almost daily! Something unexpected in life is out of left field. We hit it outta the ballpark when we've done a great job. We can even order a grand slam breakfast at Denny's if you choose to visit that establishment. We live baseball at home, in bed and at the office. In America, the baseball analogy touches our lives whether we're fans or not.
And so I go to the ballpark already speaking the language of baseball. It's a metaphor that my heart and mind are already pumping through my bloodstream and nervous system. So when I watch a game live, my emotional and physical reaction naturally is extreme. The cheering doesn't stop. The adrenaline surges. My stomach gets tied up. And in the ninth inning of Game Five of this World Series, I got choked up. When Wilson threw the last pitch, and the dugout ran onto the mound to smother him in hugs, my friends and I followed their lead.
It's at that very moment that baseball becomes love itself. My girlfriends and I all picked our Giant boyfriend early in the season. But late in the season, after I had gone yard with the Giants, I was caught repeating over and over how much I loved this entire team. I took to wearing Orange and Black even on non-game days - always wanting to show my unconditional support and send my good vibes, showing them that I was thinking of them always, especially when they were away. And I was not alone. San Francisco loves this team. I talked Giants with everyone I encountered - the cashier at Trader Joe's, my shoe repairman, my bike mechanic, the farmer at the Ferry Plaza market, the gal at the pet store, the barista who made my cappuccino. San Franciscans embraced these players as a team and as individuals as much as they embraced us as their fans and their City. The love was reciprocal, as if we had the right chemistry.
Love makes you do crazy things for your lover. Aubrey Huff reached into his pants and pulled out his thong for his fans.
Love makes you steadfast and true. Buster Posey committed himself to doing it all over again for San Francisco next year.
Love makes you come to your senses. Freddie Sanchez publicly severed his allegiance to the hometeam of his youth - the Los Angeles Dodgers - and forever devoted himself to their rival San Francisco. 1.5 million euphoric fans can have that effect on you.
Euphoria feels like falling in love. Brian Wilson, while marching to City Hall to receive the keys to The City, described the energy as electric.
I rode away from City Hall filled with this powerful sense of love and passion for where I'm from. I owe that feeling to The Giants. I owe that feeling to baseball.
From the pit of my heart, Giants, THANK YOU for making me dream and love again!

list no. 8 or 9? I have lost track - bathing in Orange and Black
1. hugging strangers
2. hearing "Don't Stop Believin'" on some random person's car radio for the hundredth time and not being tired of it
3. falling in love with The City... again, and The City loving me back
4. the knowledge that a few more cultural icons have emerged from San Francisco
5. Torture has become Euphoria
As a friend of mine says, "This feeling is eternal for as long as it lasts." It will last a long while. Perhaps my lifetime.

KT's World Cup Roundup
David James - England - Not the greatest goalkeeper, which is why he is called Calamity James. Among all the hotties of the World Cup, KT loves him primarily for his passion for collecting vintage bikes, living a green lifestyle and maintaining artistic and literary hobbies. A true Renaissance Man. His next career move is to accept my invitation to come ride bikes in SF.
Bastian Schweinsteiger - Germany - Not exactly KT's physical type (though I have no complaints). My love for him is based solely on his football skillz alone. I liked him better during Euro 2008 when he had platinum blond hair. Der Schweiniiiiiiii!!!!
Didier Drogba - Ivory Coast - He's a goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations, credited with playing a vital role in bringing peace to his country and was voted one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people. KT loves him not just for his abs, but that smile and those bedroom eyes. In addition, he has donated every dollar from commercial endorsements to build a hospital in his hometown (He gets two photos - that's how much I like him).
Diego Forlan - Uruguay - That tan, those abs, those pecks, those blond curls! And he's unstoppable on the pitch!
Florent Malouda - France - So sad he went home early. How can you not appreciate those chiseled features?! South African newspapers have suggested he pursue a modeling career and I concur. He also scored France's only goal during the Cup. Thank God.
Kevin Prince Boateng - Ghana - A great goal scorer. In addition to collecting tattoos, apparently he also has a shopping addiction and more pairs of shoes than Imelda Marcos.

no matter if we win or lose, this is Cape Town
I've been following my friend Renata Falzoni's experience covering the Cup in South Africa. This short woman-on-the-street video captures the spirit that we are really missing in this country.
I've been trying to do my part, but one Lone WC Nut alone does not make a party. Despite SF ranking as one of the top WC viewing cities, I still don't feel the fever here like we would in any other country in the world... yet! ;-)

Allez l'Equipe de France!
L’équipe de France je t’aime, je t’apprécie.
Couplet 1
Tout le monde dit qu'on passera pas le premier tour
Qu'en France on est des tricheurs - c’est mal
C’est pas grave moi j’ai eu notre message d’amour
ça vient tout droit de nos cœurs
Car on s’en fout que vous vous tapiez des putes
Le plus important c’est que vous marquiez des buts !
Refrain
Allez l’équipe de France
On y croit , on vous fait confiance
Foncez, rien n’est perdu
Mais... Sortez vous les doigts du cul !
Couplet 2
Faites des petits-ponts, des pichenettes, des talonades
Vos matches sont trop chiants, on veut des Papinades
Faites pas les cons chez les Sud africains
C’est pas pour rien cette main contre les rouquins !
Refrain
Allez l’équipe de France (Allez l’équipe de france)
on y croit, on vous fait confiance (on vous fait confiance)
Foncez rien n’est perdu (rien n’est perdu)
Mais Sortez vous les doigts du cul (les doigts du cuuuul)

Allez l’équipe de France
On y croit , on vous fait confiance
Foncez rien n’est perdu (rien n’est perduuuuuuuu)
Mais sortez vous les doigts du cul (les doigts, du, les doigts du cul)

Settle for your amazing, powerful self!
A couple friends have stumbled upon this book for women and settling on what is referred to as Mr. Good Enough. This makes me frustrated.
Men have the same problems when seeking a mate. Men are picky. They want her to look like a model, be younger than him, not be too aggressive. They sometimes think they can push her around or win her over with charm. And then they want her to let them be slobs or chums or whatever. They also want to make more money than she does, and are usually not ok if she has more success in her career than he does.
BUT, are there self-help books on the market for men to debunk their dating myths? No. There aren't. This whole market is a scam to make money off of women's insecurities.
AND what's more is that the title of this book is assuming that men are just good enough, and that an amazing, wonderful, cool person that inspires you isn't out there. That you should settle. Why settle? (This reminds me of the 30 Rock episode when Liz Lemon almost settles for Wesley Snipes, the annoying insurance salesman, when all of a sudden Matt Damon the pilot strolls into her life.)
If inspiration is what you seek, ask and you shall receive. (I'm going back to the Trifecta here.) Or as Ghandi put it, Be the Change.
We are amazing women. We are amazing human beings. Powerful. We have achieved so much, faced many obstacles with health, money, love and family. We are doing nothing wrong. We have done everything right!
Be yourself, and nothing else. Your beautiful, multifaceted and profound self!
And that goes for men as well as women! In a relationship or out!

Ofertório - A Vélo Vogue Film
So if other bloggers get to write about their kids and spouses, I think it's fair game for me to write about my break-ups, and how a bike ride helped me deal with the latest.
This was filmed entirely with my Panasonic DMC-LX2 on the day that I broke up with my ex-boyfriend. I rode my bike to the Labyrinth at Land's End to make an offering and decided to film the whole thing.
The music is Ofertório by Brazilian artist Milton Nascimento. The title means "Offertory." I love the music, but don't understand the lyrics. When I first heard it, I knew it matched the visuals of this film.

A Photo Show
I'm going to participate in this group amateur photo show. I was assigned the Upper Haight. Because I've had to deal with so many extraneous things, and then with Bike to Work Month upon us, I've found myself kinda too busy for photo taking, but I managed to snap some nice shots, and I'm sure there will be a wealth of other good ones in the mix!

my favorite movie of all time
If you don't have it in your Queue, put it there now and move it to the top of your list. I just watched it again last night, and am thinking that I'll keep it for the rest of the week and watch it over and over again.
saudade
As defined by Wikipedia: Saudade has been described as a "vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist ... a turning towards the past or towards the future." A stronger form of saudade may be felt towards people and things whose whereabouts are unknown, such as a lost lover, or a family member who has gone missing. It may also be translated as a deep longing or yearning for something which does not exist or is unattainable.

i was just feeling so happy to be a virgo, when i read this
I like calling upon reason and logic to help through the rough spots. I can always count on rational thought. That's what we Virgos do best! So now, according to Mr. Brezsny, must I really subject myself to further (irrational) scrutiny?
Virgo Horoscope for week of March 18, 2010
The storm is your friend right now, Virgo. So are the deep, dark night and the last place you'd ever think of visiting and the most important thing you've forgotten about. So be more willing than usual to marinate in the mysteries -- not with logical ferocity but with cagey curiosity. The areas of life that are most crucial for you to deal with can't be fully understood using the concepts your rational mind favors. The feelings that will be most useful for you to explore are unlike those you're familiar with.

my gmail theme
I selected "Ninja" as my Gmail background theme. What I like best about it is that every day, the cartoon ninja characters change their activities. Sometimes they're flying through the air in total sabotage, other times they're bowing in respect.
It gave me hope today to see the ninjas putting down their nunchucks and instead offering a bouquet of flowers.

"In the context of lifelong partnership, love is not an emotion. Love is a course, an utterly steadfast, stable path that deviates not in the face of hardship or challenge. It is an undeniably fixed and invariable promise that does not waver, even in the face of death. While we look for a mate who shares our hobbies, is sexually attractive, makes us laugh, and helps us to feel good, these things are not the substance of love. All of our criteria for finding a mate - the person has to look this way, have that kind of job, dress like this, be hip, have this much money, etc., are all things that will disappear with time. None of them will last. All that will last is the love that was given and the love received. True love must transcend our limited views of love, for true love stands in its own category. As such, it is not dependent upon the endless ebb and flow of our emotions and on the ever-changing agendas of our current likes and dislikes."

more on donations to Haiti
I found out today that the SF Fire Department is collecting donations until Friday February 12. I encourage all of you to find a firehouse near you and drop off any clothing and other useful items that you are not using. Follow this link so you can find an SFFD firehouse location.
Here's a list of items they accept:
* Clothing, including new or used underwear, for all ages. It would be incredibly helpful if these donations could be separated (babies, small children, large children, women & men’s clothes).
* Shoes, all sizes
* Medical Supplies: Gauze, Tape, Neosporin, Tylenol/Advil (Generics OK)
* Kotex and Cloth Diapers
* Towels and Sheets
* Plastic Storage Boxes (Large) for packing, shipping and giving Haitians something to store their personal effects in. If you can bring nothing else, bring these!
It makes me happy to know my shirts, shoes, skirts, pants, even my underwear, will be worn by someone who lost everything and really needs it.
Here's a list of items they accept:
* Clothing, including new or used underwear, for all ages. It would be incredibly helpful if these donations could be separated (babies, small children, large children, women & men’s clothes).
* Shoes, all sizes
* Medical Supplies: Gauze, Tape, Neosporin, Tylenol/Advil (Generics OK)
* Kotex and Cloth Diapers
* Towels and Sheets
* Plastic Storage Boxes (Large) for packing, shipping and giving Haitians something to store their personal effects in. If you can bring nothing else, bring these!

donating to Haiti
I have three large bags full of women's apparel and a few other useful trinkets which I will drop off on Monday or Tuesday.
Not much more to my post today but to say that I am happy to be able to give.
I hope my giving inspires you too.

here it is again... we need the eggs
Just a reminder. This should make all of us sigh in recognition of the richness of life.
Alvy Singer: [narrating] After that it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I... I realized what a terrific person she was, and... and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I... I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs.

Donating for Haiti in SF
Sirona Cares - a local organization working in Haiti's orphanages is collecting donations of clothing and supplies. Sirona Cares is run by Michelle Lacourciere and supports several orphanages in Haiti. Her blog with postings about how the orphanages have been affected is at http://www.sironacaresblog.com/
Items they accept:
Clothing, including new or used underwear, for all ages. It would be incredibly helpful if these donations could be separated (babies, small children, large children, women & men's clothes).
Shoes, all sizes
Medical Supplies: Gauze, Tape, Neosporin, Tylenol/Advil (Generics OK)
Kotex and Cloth Diapers
Towels and Sheets
Plastic Storage Boxes (Large) for packing, shipping and giving Haitians something to store their personal effects in. If you can bring nothing else, bring these!
They also need help sorting the donations. The following is from their blog - http://www.sironacaresblog.com/
"If you have more time than money, collect donations and bring them to 190 King Street in San Francisco. The owner of the property has donated the space for sorting, and we will be there receiving. We sort, fold, and box everything in plastic bins which will be used in Haiti for years. If you haven't been there, you don't know the many lifes of a plastic bin, but the goods a family collects will be kept dry, they will use it first as a suitcase to hold their entire life's belongings, then someday it will be a bathtub. Perhaps even a gas station. Haitians need these bins, as they need everything else.
If you are near San Francisco or itching for a reason to come: 190 King Street is our drop spot. Go to 188 King Street if we aren't there and Philip, the security guard, will let you in. Unload (park on the sidewalk) and then move your vehicle (south of the Giant's stadium is best) and then come back to sort. I'm serious, if you are sitting somewhere wishing you could do something like go to Haiti, come here. You will be busy, and feel the blessing of delivering good to Haiti" - Michelle Lacourciere
Times that space is available to sort are Monday through Friday 9am - 9pm. Saturday 9am - 8pm.
You can also drop off your donations at 2 other locations:
286 Fair Oaks Street [@24th] from Monday night onwards. Call ahead to arrange at 415 706 4453
OR
More Mojo Studios, 1347 Church Street (at Clipper). Collection times are Monday - Friday 9am-12pm and 3-6pm
