Disorder

Berkeley, Monday, July 6 2026 8:40 PM

Time is passing. Not necessary fast, but is passing.

A few conversations flood my head, but all of them have a silver line.

I might understand the most important thing is to pray and to reflect, but need to create that silent quiet organized space.

Sleeping routine is wrong, and I have invested plenty of time on catching up with the world cup, and particularly wrong learning a few different opinions through youtube which then keeps me there for longer.

But I have also have discovered several great radio stations and valuable commentators from across the globe, including Spain, England, Mexico. W radio in Mexico is interesting. COPE in Spain is excellent, particularly the show with Juanma?, partidazo de COPE. Futbol de Primera, the radio founded by Andres Cantor (?) in the USA is also very good.

In England unfortunately one cannot access to the BBC 5, but there are others such as Talk Sports, or a podcast from the Guardian. After the whistle podcast from Rebecca Lowe and Coach Beard, or Brandon(?) can be interesting. They have a good chemistry. Fox One, have an interesting lay out. Donovan seems to have good opinions. I am sure that many others as well. All those things one should listen with a critical ear, and might see with a critical eye, understanding that in some shows folks might be conditioned to what they say. The interesting thing is that not saying make it worst for them, in terms of credibility to the audience. It is clear to see or listen when one is expressing what truly they thing, or when saying the right or expected comment (might be).

Receive several pieces of jewel words from an ex professional referee in an extended conversation after mass. The conversation included topics of addiction, life, wisdom.

One is responsible for actions, but also need to keep an eye on how the friend is thinking of the other. After some interactions weight have increased about 4 to 5 pounds in about 1 month. Still, within the normal BMI, but I cannot be irresponsible.

Particularly, I cannot be irresponsible with sugar levels and beer consumption. It will be good to keep an eye on that. That is why I think that wine is healthier than beer. It has less ingredients.

The east bay hills have plenty of similarities, despite being in at least 4-5 different cities. But starting north from Berkeley, streets have county names, I believe such as Alameda, Yuba, etc.

Following Colusa, passing Kensington, El Cerrito, and Richmond, all it is beautiful and peaceful. Although, access to public transit and markets would be complicated without a car.

I saw a creek nearby Roselind street, went to mass in Esmood. Passed Clinton street. There was Key street as well. Elm Street.

I went through Solano street. Crossed the intersection of Colusa and Vincente.

Passed through Pomona street. I also went through Sonoma Street. This time I did not take Arlington street. It might take me a while to remember the names of those streets. Some of those are parallel to the Ohlone way. There is Lincoln street as well.

El Cerrito in that way seems to be quite big. It is a suburb.

I arrived late to mass. Arriving late is definitely not caring. What to do when one has to wait to others, who even do not provide about the arriving time.

It is interesting though how there is a nose of the mountains in El Cerrito which completely cut the street direction. But it is also good and there might not be other way, that streets follow the contour lines. Beautiful houses, beautiful neighborhoods. Particularly, one new I haven’t seen at the border between El Cerrito and Richmond

I saw Baxter Creek, particularly I saw the Poinsett Branch, at Poinsett Park

I also passed by the Mira Vista Branch.

Merino, if I recall well his name scored the late goal for Spain today against Portugal.

It was interesting to listening to the Donovan comment’s that several crossing balls were given at the box, at least three in the second half, but no one was there to finalize them.

Might be Portugal nullified Mikal Orazintabal. Of course, I have not checked any name, or made an effort for corrected, except for the creeks above, which I did not name their name.

I am trying to recall thing. Spain played very well, the few minutes I saw in the replay. They particularly are a team. That make things strong. They can also tackle as Donovan was saying. Let’s see what happens against “France?” if they get there.

Predictions might not be the best thing to do, but could be part of an analysis or opinion.

It interesting to see and hear folks telling things about the future and what a score could be. It has become the sort of most common game, and many fall in that trap. I even did once, replying to a text about a question regarding a Ecuadorian match.

It is different feeling or thinking or hoping or supporting a win, than painting a picture including the match score or results, or even saying who will score. That is really nonsense.

Sleeping schedule has been terrible the last days. Need to get back on track. Diet is coming back to normal, after a few sort of non usual choices in the last four weeks or so. Although, few, but it helps to question the reasoning behind.

In general easy, unmeditated things are not the best. But not everything happens with a plan. The thing is to keep learning and to hold a ground?

I will check the last score of USA against Belgium. I checked, when it was 2-1. Particularly, I recall the two goals from the same player, but I do not recall the USA goal. I arrived very late to mass though. So, I have to stay focused.

I have listening time by time a so far interesting book from Tim Rich about Marcelo Bielsa. It was call something like the beauty of madness or the greatness of madness. Bielsa is call: el loco.

This might be it for now.

Need to not disconnect from transparency process which encompass the understanding of how things work. And if it is hard to understand. But time is limited to understand several things.

In general I do not like to delete things. Things happen. I now recall the time that I closed for a long time my facebook account, when I logged in after years, the content of ten years or so was gone. That could be learned lesson.
