Returning Home

Then it says, ‘I will return to my home from which I came.’ But upon returning, it finds it empty, swept clean, and put in order. - Mt 12:44

Hello again. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing here. Even moreso, I'm not sure what you're doing here.

How did I get back here? Well I was cleaning up some programs on my computer, and I found an old bookmarks file from Firefox. So I clicked on it, and after 10 minutes of updates that needed to be processed, I found a time capsule from about 10 years ago of all the things I was into. This being one of them.

I clicked the link, but my domain had expired and died. I couldn't even see any of the old posts I had written. Diving deeper, because, I wanted to see how awful these old posts were, I fixed the issues of the domain, and layout which had broken as well.

So long story short, the blog is a functional being again. Will I ever use it? That's an interesting question. I have been helping a friend of mine with his short story that he's going to be coming out with soon and it makes me want to get back into this blog thing. We'll see...

USA Soccer's Logo

Image
There's been an interesting discussion going on over on The Shin Guardian regarding the USA's soccer logo. The one now is bad, real bad. I've been talking about that for a while now with friends. The colors are wrong. The use of "US" instead of "USA" is wrong. The clipart looking soccer ball is wrong. It's just bad. So, I decided to come up with some alternative ideas and using my limited graphics knowledge, put some of them together. So here it goes. Version 1: I made minor changes to this, using the correct colors and the correct nomenclature and eliminating the soccer ball. I like it, kinda plain though. Version 2: This version is based on Nike's Don't Tread campaign badge. It has a snake on it which I don't like so I took it off. I also corrected the colors and added "USA Soccer" to it. Version 3: For this I was looking at other USA symbols and came across this and loved it. I added the badge to it and gave it more of the h

On The Merger

You may have heard by now that the 3 (4 if you count the Colonials), are merging into one mega super duper awesome supporter group. #OneGroup There are many reasons that have been given for the merger and many that seem like this would be a great idea. However, I stand against this merger. You might be saying, wait, you're a contrarian to everything so why is this news? Well, here's why I think it's a bad idea. People are different. The people that represent the current Class VI and Pid Army and BSG are just different types of people. This is not to say that people can't put their differences aside and work together, but when it comes to identifying yourself and/or representing a group, there will be plenty of issues that arise from trying to blanket a diverse group of people within one. These conflicts will not bode well for the long term viability of this mega group. We don't have to all be the same. It's ok to be different. It's ok to have differe

2/3rd Season Grades

Image
This Rapids season feels just like the past few Rapids seasons. Off to a great start and then crawl to the finish. If you break it down into 3 ten game segments, the Rapids started off great with a 6-3-1 (W-L-T) record and 19 points. If you look at the second 10 game segment, it hasn't been very good. The Rapids were 1-3-6 (W-L-T) with 9 points in the last ten games they've played, including the 3-1 loss in Columbus over the weekend. Let's take a look at who's been on the field and how I grade them. (In order of minutes played) G - Matt Pickens (1800 mins) B+ He's been pretty good in goal, he's started every game thus far. He and the defense have had good communication. I would say has been one of the top keepers in MLS this year. D - Drew Moor (1800 mins) B+ I don't think that Rapids fans, myself included, knew just how good this guy was when the Rapids traded for him. He's been a rock in the back line, whether it be in central defense or on the wing,
