For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them. - Psalms 75:8
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. - Matthew 26:39, 42
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord . - Psalms 116:13
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. - 1 Corinthians 11:25-26

Want in des Heren hand is een beker en de wijn bruist daarin, overvloedig gemengd; Hij schenkt daaruit tot de droesem toe, alle goddelozen op aarde moeten hem slorpende drinken. – Psalm 75:9
En Hij (Jezus) ging een weinig verder en Hij wierp Zich met het aangezicht ter aarde en bad, zeggende: Mijn Vader, indien het mogelijk is, laat deze beker Mij voorbijgaan; doch niet gelijk Ik wil, maar gelijk Gij wilt. Wederom, ten tweeden male, ging Hij heen en bad, zeggende: Mijn Vader, indien deze beker niet kan voorbijgaan, tenzij dan dat Ik die drinke, uw wil geschiede! – Mattheus 26:39, 42
De beker der verlossing zal ik opheffen, ik zal de naam des Heren aanroepen. – Psalm 116:13
Evenzo ook de beker, nadat de maaltijd afgelopen was, en Hij (Jezus) zeide: Deze beker is het nieuwe verbond in mijn bloed, doet dit, zo dikwijls gij die drinkt, tot mijn gedachtenis. Want zo dikwijls gij dit brood eet en de beker drinkt, verkondigt gij de dood des Heren, totdat Hij komt. – 1 Korinthe 11:25-26
The Cannabis Cup is a festival that was started in 1987 by High Times editor Steven Hager, who came to The Netherlands for an interview with the founder of the first Dutch cannabis-seed company. The Australian owner, Nevil, lived in a mansion filled with growrooms that Hager dubbed "The Cannabis Castle". The festival, held annually in Amsterdam, The Netherlands is one of the most famous cannabis events among cannabis smokers and cannabis-oriented businesses. The public is exposed to a large variety of marijuana strains which they then help to judge. A team of VIP judges decide which seed company brought the best marijuana, while the judges-at-large decide the Cannabis Cup, best new product, best booth, best glass, best hash and best Nederhash.
Highest recorded participation was in 2008 with 2,300 judges. In 2008, the 21st Cannabis Cup featured the induction of Peter Tosh into the Counterculture Hall of Fame, with performances by Andrew Tosh, Ky-mani Marley, CenC Love, Bushman, Rocker T, and Leon, as well as lectures by Roger Steffens. In 2007, the 20th Cannabis Cup featured Tommy Chong and Redman. A film of the anniversary event was released in the summer of 2008.
Marijuana use is decriminalized in most parts of The Netherlands. Much of the marijuana present is from the different coffee shops around Amsterdam. Usually the Cannabis Cup has a surprise weed, a strain of marijuana that is new to the culture and will be tested by the judges. Many tourists go to Amsterdam to attend the festival. Due to the decriminalization of marijuana, the Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) contents can be quite high. Therefore, it is recommended for judges to have a high tolerance to THC. Some of the stronger marijuana which comes in 'hash' form can have strengths of up to 75% THC.
This Airstream trailer is a newish landmark in Austin. It lives on South Congress, a recently-trendified area 7 or 8 blocks south of downtown, and sells nothing but cup cakes. Whenever I've been there, there has always been a queue of people waiting to buy.

Seen on the glass shelf above the ice cream toppings at Pink Spot. I love this shot. It's been a while since I caught something bokehlicious like this. Wee!

Spain wins their first World Cup title after defeating The Netherlands. Team Spain scored at the added extra game time in the four or so remaining minutes before, what would have been, a penalty shootout (not the best way to win a match). Neither Spain nor The Netherlands could score during the game's regulation time.
It was both restless and thrilling. While Spain played what they normally play – they played well, while the Dutch failed to attack and gain possession of the ball for the most part. The Dutch had many wide open opportunities and close calls for a goal (such as that one where the ball merely bumps the goal's post like golf - where are the other Dutch men to kick that in?!). It felt like an awful teaser to the Dutch fans.
The game overall was thrilling, but lacked a balanced spectacular game play showcase I was hoping to see (such as Germany playing against their victims). Not headbutting action here.
A good thing.
Though, there were vicious moments.
Pushing, shoving each other, penalty cards flying all over players' face for both sides, and a few simulation (flopping around on the field and acting) on Spain's part.
The bar I witnessed the final match was packed with supporters to both Spain and the Dutch. Good. That means I can go along with the waves of "Aaaaahs!!!!" screams any time the Dutch were close to making a goal. Yes, I felt partial to the Dutch team on this match while I never had before. Perhaps they are the least favored. I never felt much about Spain throughout the World Cup. It's too easy to root for the most likeliest teams to win.
In comparison to the last game I had witnessed at a pub, that being the USA v Ghana, I was not hoping for anything (except to see if an octopus can be proven wrong). I was rooting for nations that I didn't "feel" for, but enjoyed the entertainment they brought on. There was no high emotion I felt for this as I had with the USA v Ghana or Uruguay v Ghana while I was equally excited.
As the last few seconds trickled away, waiting for the inevitable final whistle to end the World Cup and crown the Spanish the title, I only had those last few seconds to savor what the last 30 days was about: very sporty and somewhat enlightening.
I got to know South Africa more than I would have before. They were united for the games. Would they be as united as soon as the arenas shut down? I feel doubtful, but at least, I hope, that the experience will leave them with a grand impression. Having FIFA host the games at their nation was really a grand blessing while a curse (or a bad thing) for those that had to be swift away just for the games to be hosted.
Africans yearned for the outside world to see the new them. That they're not a hostile state. That they are all right. While some, can say otherwise. Nothing has changed.
In the last 30 days, I got to see many underdogs take over half of the games with unexpected surprises and shutting critics up. Myself included when the USA advanced past their group matches. I commend them still.
In the last 30 days, I broke my own record of watching and following (to some extent) a single sporting event with some kind of effort. That includes simply tracking scores.
In the last 30 days, I was entertained by the world's unison on a single sport. While I felt alone, I didn't at the same time. This was the best distraction I had when I needed the meaningless distraction in my life. I was distracted by something that will never change my life. I was distracted by a bunch of guys kicking a ball around.
The whistle finally blows. The Spanish collapsed in bliss and joy. Fatigue and overwhelmed. The teams wins. The Dutch are now reconsidering their summer vacation hot spot to Germany.
I came out of the bar feeling ambivalent. A bit strangely melancholic. It wasn't about the final match's results, but rather that this whole series of fiasco is over. I was watching most of these teams rise and fall. Feels a bit like saying goodbye to a friend that I just started to get to know better. If they cared.
Final scores:
The Netherlands v Spain (00 - 01)
That octopus is right again. (You can imagine the death threats the little critter's been receiving.)

Apollo Cup
c. 480-470 BCE
Delphi Museum, Greece
White-ground kylix (two-handled wide drinking cup) with a beautiful image of the god Apollo holding his turtle-shell lyre and pouring out a libation (offering), probably wine. I'm not sure whether the bird is a crow or a raven, although my hunch is it's a raven, since that bird is usually known for its intelligence.

Probably I should have cropped the photo so that the bowls with the blue dots become the main focus. However, I just wasn't in the mood for doing it ... mid-month crisis. ; )
