Ironic Hyundai evangelist, lover of books, laugher at life.

I follow the Portland Timbers and #MLS, generally, just not in long form. #rctid

Pretty excited for the end of 2025, honestly. Not our best year, globally.
My wife got me an advent calendar as an early Christmas present.

One little (knockoff) LEGO per day till Xmas.

The pieces weren’t in order and the instructions didn’t always match the supplies.

Having a blast. Absolutely fantastic.

Guys. I think Spotify just made me an honorary Millennial.

Genres:

Indie Rock
Alternative Hip Hop
Classic Rock (The Kinks were my #1)
PUNK ROCK (why all caps)
Power Pop

Well, that closes the chapter nicely.

And now I delete Spotify.

When the player they choose to represent your team is the ‘keeper…. #MLS

Quoting Han Solo, and far too many characters from the Star Wars universe…I got a bad feeling about this.

The price of a loss will be high, not just #FCCincy losing but Miami moving on to the crown that a just universe would deny them…

…a bit overwrought, but I’m in the moment. #MLS

Gotta step it up, downtown #HillsboroOR. These aren’t even the best bits of Beaverton.

Autumn, y’all.

Good morning.

I just made my first competent vindaloo (puree the spice paste and tomatoes, time be damned!!), and I’m going to take that as an omen for great things.

It doesn’t matter how Portland lines up if they don’t execute.

90+ minutes to triumph or failure. Get to kickin’! #SDvPOR #rctid

Tuning in with only one expectation: I want to see the Timbers playing like their season is on the line.

I’ll accept mistakes before I accept phoning it in.

Moreover, no one expects Portland to win and I’d like to think that would be freeing.

Either 90+ or 180+ ahead. #PORvSD #rctid

Relatable. My last Halloween costume I bought for work, probably 10 years ago.

re the lineup: Phil never quite landed on a steady set of players this season, just a rotating collection of dudes he trusted/had available at the time.

Here for a Kamal redemption story.

I hope Portland plays like a team no one expects to win.

Steal some shit, y’all. #rctid #SDvPOR

AT THE HALF:

Felt like a decent half, with the Timbers more in control and comfort than not, but Glad’s late swing at the jaw reminds of how fragile all that work can be.

Thrilled for Mora, so here’s to hoping the team pulls it it together and sees it out.

Another half to go… #PORvRSL #rctid

If this game goes South, this thread might get wordy and morph into an obituary.

RSL has sucked on the road, but I’m worried about RSL’s “big name” attackers: Olatunji, Luna, and Gozo.

Approaching this as “happy to be here, one game at a time,” and so on.

Entertainment, plz. #PORvRSL #rctid

Did some suburban protesting today. Turnout was better than my color scheme. And spacing.

I like Paredes starting, the request for wingers was answered in concept, and, as indicated by the standings, Seattle hasn’t been that much better over 2025.

We’re getting up to go-time, people. Time to play the cards you drew.

Reading this currently, thought about pulling quotes here and there, but it’s all the same story:

Trump was *incredibly* shitty at real estate. The book is a parade of scams and, more significant to the present, fucking dumb own-goals.

Unfortunately, he’s a world-class con artist, so…

Stakes have arrived, people.

This is go, score, win as it gets. Lose tonight and things actually get hairy.

Worried about Musa, should be worried about Farrington from what I hear. Worried about…what are a lot of unknowns (who are those people?).

Anyhoo, go, score, win. #PORvFCD #rctid

Spent the afternoon on the Willamette Shore Trolley, which, fun fact(!), ends right next to the ICE facility.

What the graffiti says, etc.

At any rate, back in the nick time, settling in, don’t even know who started.

Git ‘er, pa!

Without downloading a new image, where are you mentally?
August 27, 2025 at 1:05 AM
Don’t know about you, but I’m counting any points the Timbers get tonight as unexpected, therefore free.

Excited to see the new guys.

That’s all I got.

Here’s to hoping I get inspiration from the game. Allons y!

“In Goldwater’s time, people claiming to be embattled holdouts defenfing American liberty called themselves ‘Movement Conservatives.’ A century before, their predecessors had called themselves ‘Confederates.’”

Buckling up for an opponent I don’t know, in a competition that seems designed to baffle expectations.

Absent jaw-dropping moments, a blowout for one team or the other (go, Timbers!), this will not be a thread.

It is merely an acknowledgment of the journey we will soon share. #rctid #PORvQUE

Calling back the classic in the hopes of reviving that old magic from…2022 and 2023.

Ready to fall in love all over again. Just looking forward to meeting that special team that makes me swoon again.

(Call me!)

Will add as inspiration hits. Go, Timbers! Dammit! #LAFCvPOR #rctid
