Memory is a record.
People only have substance within the memories of other people. And that’s why there were all kinds of myself. There weren’t a lot of myself per se, I was just inside all sorts of people, that’s all.

chitwoodandhobbs: A Sign Of The Times Is it me or does anyone else feel like soccer fandom in the United States is building towards a realistic tipping point? Are we that far away from a time when the casual sports fan will care about soccer when it isn’t World Cup related? Maybe the degree I surround myself with sports media has me even more separated from the casual fan than I realize. This photo, on the other hand, makes me think otherwise. Here’s a shot from Chicago’s Wrigley Field yesterday afternoon. While the Cubs were outside on the field there were large groups of fans inside catching the FIFA Women’s World Cup Final.

A Sign Of The Times

Is it me or does anyone else feel like soccer fandom in the United States is building towards a realistic tipping point? Are we that far away from a time when the casual sports fan will care about soccer when it isn’t World Cup related? Maybe the degree I surround myself with sports media has me even more separated from the casual fan than I realize. This photo, on the other hand, makes me think otherwise.

平泉町 (Hiraizumi-chō) – Temples, Gardens and Archaeological Sites Representing the Buddhist Pure Land, 西磐井郡 (Nishiiwai-gun), 岩手県 (Iwate-ken), Japan This newly inscribed World Heritage Convention mixed site comprises five sites, including the sacred Mount Kinkeisan. It features vestiges of government offices dating from the 11th and 12th centuries when Hiraizumi-chō was the administrative center of the northern realm of Japan and rivaled Kyoto. The realm was based on the cosmology of Pure Land Buddhism, which spread to Japan in the 8th century. It represented the pure land of Buddha that people aspire to after death, as well as peace of mind in this life. In combination with indigenous Japanese nature worship and Shintoism, Pure Land Buddhism developed a concept of planning and garden design that was unique to Japan.
