WatchTwo soccer players take off around the globe exploring the other less glorified side of soccer: pick up games, impromptu contests that happen anywhere and between anyone.
I wish I could do something like this one day.
I would just like to say that the song "Maps"...
thebalaclava:
I’m sorry if I’m alienating anyone, but everytime something related to that song pops up on the dashboard, I die a little bit inside.

A new fan-made video for Death Cab for Cutie’s sad ballad “Grapevine Fires” is a surreal tear-jerker about California’s 2007 wildfires.
Like the song, which appeared on the band’s 2008 album, Narrow Stairs, the animated reel captures the up-close experience that lead singer Ben Gibbard had with the conflagration. Southern Californians flee the coming flames...

We are expert historians, but only armchair astrologers; we leave predictions of the future to the gods or the insane. And well enough: if we could look forward as well as we look back, it would be as crippling as a break to the spine.
This one section reminded me of the plight of Dr.Manhattan; constantly...

Great little peice about the mechanics and method behind reading. I never heard of “saccades” before, but it makes a lot of sense.
Our eyes travel along the lines in a series of jumps called “saccades.” Between saccades they stop for a moment (called a fixation) so that we absorb text in chunks varying in length from a few characters to up to about eighteen.
