why philly rules

PHILADELPHIA - A 44-year-old man was arrested last night for running onto the field during the Eagles-Packers game, but he said it was worth it.

Fans and players alike watched as the man ran down the middle of the field while scattering his mother's ashes.

The woman died in January and the man was honoring her last wish. He said she was a lifelong Eagles fan.

After the man dumped the ashes, he laid down and did not resist arrest. He was charged with defiant trespass.

why dogs rule

Shibuya is known today as a popular gathering point for Tokyo' young people. But long before loose socks and sandals with three-inch soles, before Tower Records and 109, Shibuya had another claim to fame: Hachiko.

The year was 1925. Every morning, Professor Ueno Eizaburo walked to Shibuya station accompanied by his loyal dog, Hachi, nicknamed Hachiko. Hachiko didn't accompany his master to his teaching job at the Imperial University (now known as Tokyo University), but when Professor Ueno returned every day at 3pm, the dog was always at the station waiting for him. However, on May 21 of that year, Ueno died of a stroke while at the university. Hachiko went to Shibuya as always to meet his master, but 3 o'clock came and went, and the professor didn't arrive. So Hachiko waited. And waited.

The Akita must have known something was wrong, but nonetheless he returned to the station every day at 3 o'clock to meet the train. Soon people began to notice the loyal dog's trips made in vain to meet his master. Ueno's former gardener, the Shibuya stationmaster, and others began feeding Hachiko and giving him shelter. Word of his unaltered routine spread across the nation, and he was held up as a shining example of loyalty. People travelled to Shibuya simply to see Hachiko, feed him, and gently touch his head for luck.

The months turned to years, and still Hachiko returned to Shibuya station daily at 3pm, even as arthritis and aging took their toll. Finally, on March 7, 1934 - nearly ten years after last seeing Professor Ueno - the 12-year-old Akita was found dead on the same spot outside the station where he had spent so many hours waiting for his master.

Hachiko's death made the front pages of major Japanese newspapers. A day of mourning was declared. Contributions poured in from all over the country to memorialize the dog that had won the hearts of the nation. Sculptor Ando Teru was hired, with the money that had been contributed, to create a bronze statue of Hachiko. In April 1934 it was placed on the exact spot where Hachiko had waited for so long.

Within a few years, however, Japan was at war, and any available metal was melted down to make weapons. Not even Hachiko's statue was spared. After the war, in 1948, Ando's son Takeshi sculpted a new Hachiko - the statue that stands outside Shibuya station to this day.

This is not the only monument to chuken ("loyal dog") Hachiko to be found in Tokyo, however. Aoyama Cemetery contains a memorial to Hachiko on the site of Professor Ueno's grave. Some of Hachiko's bones are reportedly buried there, but in fact, Hachiko can still be seen, stuffed, in the National Science Museum northwest of Ueno station.

Back in Shibuya, Hachiko's statue sits in a noble pose, forever waiting for his master. His statue, appropriately, is the best-known landmark and meeting place in Shibuya, where hundreds of people every day sit and wait for their friends.

the desert

the one plus of tonight in the desert is that the I saw Mars and it was bright. It has come and gone all night long as the clouds over head moved. I made a wish with all the other stars and wondered if one of them will come true.  I still believe in wishes and in stars no matter how much science says it wont work.  Sometimes you have to have faith in the things we were raised in thinking, and yes I know it sounds foolish but it gives me hope. So go out tonight and make wish make it happen be young again, find your star... and as you read this I am going bike riding now under my desert stars and desert sky......

desert nights

theres no place like this place at 330 am when the moon is full and shinnig over the city. I didnt even need my headlights on the car it was that bright. I could see all the huge saguaros on the montains with their huge arms pointing to the skies.  If you have never been in the desert when the moon is full and everyones asleep and the temp is 85 with a cool breeze  and your wondering the roads on your bike or in your car, well then you are missing something in your life that you should expirence. If you are enchanted by the sea then you will fall in love the Arizona desert for one reason or another.
