Becks!
Some very cool soccer news! David Beckham will be coming to America to play for MLS team L.A. Galaxy.
The move has been talked about for months now.
MLS adjusted its salary cap system to allow clubs some financial liberty to attract big dollar players.
The cost for Becks: 250 million over 5 years. I do not think that the price tag is just for his playing skill. He has huge marketing power ecspecially in a big market city. He should draw crowds to the stadiums. Not sure about tele ratings.
It will be interesting to see where he plays on the field. He would make a midfield that already has Landon Donovan and wily vet Cobi Jones dynamic. Lots of entertaining possibilities!
I hope that he has a positive impace on the sport in the states and that his name doesn't overshadow the sport. I hope that he can remain content and stay fit.
Late summer/early fall road trip to a Chicago Fire v. L.A. Galaxy match anyone?

First Day of School
LOOKINGFORAFACE: I am entering a period of rebirth. That is the way I am approaching each day anyhow. For the past 6 years I have been investing myself into preserving and prolonging other people's life. It was a very deep and consuming era. Parts of me were carved out and I gained insights into pain and patience and restoration and departure.
Today is a day to begin absorbing life. For more than the past decade I have lived two types of lives: a creative or a technical life. I hope that I have the capacity for the two types to merge. It has taken 28 years for my corpus callosum to unite the types. Creatively I feel a bit in the nether world but I hope my waking and imagining eyes can project enough to my hands so that my craft sharpens and connects with others. It is my desire to continue to invest life in others.

Mike
Yesterday, a long time friend arrived in Ghana, West Africa
Mike will be working for Mercy Ships and the people of West Africa as the mechanic for the Community Development fleet
This is an awesome adventure for Mike
Pray that God will guide his steps, give him insight and resource to solve mechanical problems and that his awesome variety of gifts will quicken his team and draw the lonely and sick to God - oh and for his parents - I hear moms tend to worry when their boys are off in beautfiul Africa.

Liverpool Football Making Up Ground
(CLCK ON IMAGE TO SEE ANIMATION IN ANOTHER WINDOW - ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO MAKE ANIMATED GIFS WORK WITHIN BLOG?)
Liverpool finished 2006 undefeated at home in the Premiership Standings. Despite being 14 points back of Man U. I have optimism going into 2007 as the club climbed into the top three in the Premiership. If the club can get points on the road (where they have grossly failed) and continue their "almost unbeatable Anfield" play they can gain on the leaders. It is a very tight race between the 3-12 teams. With 16 League matches left there is little room for mistake for Liverpool not only to have a real shot at the league but to finish in the top 4.
In Champions League, The Reds, won the group and advanced into the knock out stages. They face a mysterious Barca - first away and then make at Anfield. Eto is injured and there has been some turmoil on the Spainish side. It could be a classic matchup or one side might run away with it. I expect a fight as the Champions from 2005 face the Champions from 2006. If Liverpool doesn't lose any points in the away match they would enter Anfield very confident as historically they have an incredible home record in Champions League Play.
From what I have read the team has tightend defensive form and the attack has finally started getting rewarded for all the quality strikes.
Transfer season loams and there is always intrigue for the potential players and potential money moving around as managers look for solutions. This could be a unique transfer window for Liverpool as the team could be purchased and become one of the richest clubs in the world! Rafa has been resourceful what could he do with some extra currency?
Lastly, it is safe to say that if the players stay healthy and Rafa continues masterfully matching up with all the different clubs Liverpool Football Club can look forward to the possibilities of more significant hardware.
