Old Goldenballs
I'm not a big sports fan. Anyone that knows me can attest to that. But I do enjoy soccer, or football as it is more appropriately called. And I must say that I enjoy the media frenzy surrounding David Beckham. In fact, this morning when I couldn't sleep I watched a Sky News report regarding his recent trip to Madrid for a fitness exam. The exam was televised, for chrissakes. Ok, so I stayed up to watch the clip.
Victor sends me articles all the time on Becks, since he is amused by his fame and glory as well. Just today he sent me a thoroughly enjoyable Salon article (accompanied by a thoroughly enjoyable sans-shirt pic of Beckham). There were some key points that I hadn't heard yet, that Beckham has been portrayed as Buddha in Thailand and he and his family as Shiva, Parvati, and Ganesh by Indian painters in England.

Beckham, the virus
