Kelston Boys’ High School perform a massive haka in honour of the new Maori carving on campus

I live for this

This is the first recording of a Haka I’ve seen that manages to capture even a fraction of the true energy of it. And it’s because there’s so many of them that those boys would have been shaking the ground.

Seeing these boys in their modern uniforms and jackets and backpacks that say NIKE, participating in this ancient ritual, really just drives home what people mean when they say “I am not a costume.” The clothes here are not important. The energy and participation are important.

From now on I am only accepting sexts in Dr. Seuss rhyme form

“What’re you up to?” His simple text said.
“Just eating cereal and lying in bed.”
“What if I was with you?” he responded with ease,
“I guess I’d get more cereal if I please.”
And that’s when he said it, that simpering lad, that stupid response that makes all of us mad.
My mind filled with dread, with a twist in my gut,
I picked up my phone and read: “Haha, and then what ;)”

A funny, beautiful take on Andrés Iniesta by Isaiah Cambron: 

  • “His hair has been receded to the point where he might call Arjen Robben to find out how the Dutchman keeps such a luxurious mane. And yet, here’s a guy who in the World Cup final ran farther than any other player save his teammate and midfield partner-in-crime Xavi.”
  • “There’s a ghostly quality about auroras that makes you feel like you’re witnessing a secret of the universe. I sometimes feel like that when I watch Andres Iniesta play football.”
  • “Iniesta is the quiet, undefinable brilliance you find in the darkness.”
  • “Like auroras, there’s no true lack of understanding about Iniesta, yet he still turns opponents into startled spectators as he floats by.”
  • “You notice him in bursts, available to receive a pass, side-stepping a challenge, and then he’s gone again.”
  • “Iniesta’s career has been an arc of brilliance, each moment overshadowing the prior one, but you would never guess it just looking at him. [Iniesta] looks like the guy at the gym you think is aging pretty well.”
  • “It wouldn’t surprise me if Iniesta takes showers and imagines the perfect side salad. Four precisely placed croutons garnished with just the thinnest slices of Parmesan you’ll ever see. They’re truffle thin.”
  • “But mostly he is here and then he is gone. He is here and then you are staring at the dark night sky, his lights turned down and all you have left is a fleeting memory that what you saw was more beautiful than your words can describe, no matter how much you add to your vocabulary.”
