Just Embarrassing
I'm not exactly sure what to do.
I'm actually slightly giddy about the new season.
Of all the things I've embarrassed myself about on this blog.
This is the worst.
I'm kind of hoping somebody will show up and shot me.

You ask
..... You keep talking about Americans... and you never talk about the Williams sisters??is it a Racial thing?... I imagine that you ask...
Certainly not, and yes the Williams sisters can play. The problem is this.... I had to sit through 5 years of Dominance in the sport that had me not watching Tennis the entire time... Sure I saw the sisters come to dominance... Problem was... I just wasn't interested in watching them play each other in every slam.
I only started watching tennis again, when they started losing. As Serina would blame it on injury or whatever, and show almost no class, disrespecting the game.
For some reason I figured I needed to defend myself... Yes they are Americans, and have a great chance to win.... But I'm more excited for Bethany Mattek, who has made it to the second week for the first time in her career.
So now it's mostly about other stories.
Will Safina continue her momentum from the french....
Will Safin keep stepping it up, to keep up with little sis.
Will Murray keep English hope alive
will Jancovich ever be anything but a brides maid.
Could Venus show up her sister in a Final?
Will Kudnesova take it all the way, with all that hunger in her Gut... and I'm not talking about Cheeseburgers.
Speaking of which... I saw some talk in the British press talking about all the "Heffalumps" in the Woman's draw..... I thought that was worth a little chuckle...

Sigh.....
Well, Ivonovic lost.... It's hard to talk about...
Matteck... took a whooping to Bartolli
I'm just going to suck my thumb and hide under the covers all day......
I'm thinking Ivan Drago or maybe it's Jancovic's time.... Seems like Drago is hungrier... wonder if that will offset that jancovich is probably the better player

I just checked the widget
and apparently Roddick lost..... Realize the remaining Americans are nearly Unknowns... to be fair the wind did mess with many of the high level players, who don't realize they have to scale it back in the wind.... making it much easier to be someone who doesn't play with such accuracy.
And I'd like to thank ESPN who messed up the Coverage of what is the "Championships of Tennis" and cutting the Roddick match off half way through.... I think Lawn bowling was on somewhere, and they just don't have enough stations to cover the Championships of tennis... I tell you, these days as they have started doing split coverage of tennis, with 3 different stations covering the event..... It is a Real disservice to the event.... but I understand Dog Walking, or Caber Tossing, monster truck racing... definitely worth dumping something as stupid as the Tennis Championships....
So to replace the Americans.... I threw up a few other people including the brother sister safin- safina... Ya, I don't get it either.
Umn.... Crack Pipe... Just figured I'd throw that in...
How about this. I'm watching Stranger than fiction, I think ... I am Harold Crick, I'd like to think I'm Harold Crick. I'm like Harold Crick, only less organized, I'm not really Harold Crick.
Oh... Just to Cheer you folks up.... Oil hit another new high $140, it's 2x as expensive as it was last summer.... It reflects 5-6 dollar gas, it reflects 25% inflation.... did you get a 25% raise last year?... That must suck....

well.....
James Blake just went down.
Davenport went down...
Levine went down
the Americans are dwindling.
bobby Reynolds is still in....
Matteck
and at this writing Roddick is still in....
Those are some slim American pickings....
I dig James... but seriously... when you realize someone is topped out, and seems to just stagnate.... you just have to let them go.... As with Roddick... Though Roddick over the past year has been trying to get his head out of his ass.... Maybe when he gets rid of that fucked up serve.
This is only the second round.. I understand Clay is hard to play on.... but WTF this is grass, and with no rain it's been fast...
GO Roddick, maybe you can make it to the third round Yippee... It's like we are British or something... or the French in Le Tour
Oh.... and sharapova went down..... That girl needs to have a little come to jesus, about her tennis focus....... that is a girl with her eye off the ball.

Levine went down

Reality TV
.... I'm not a fan... Here I am... My day is done... I get up at 3am... so at 4pm I'm fairly tired and exhausted, and all I really am trying to do is decompress....
Here I sit, watching "Denise Richards...I like to date Psyco's " or what ever the name of her reality TV show is....
After I saw Gene Simmons... Now that is a good Show, I figured I'd give it a shot... She is Hot...
Damn... Now I forgot what I was going to Whine about....
Oh... Now I remember... so you watch some of these, and seriously their lives are 2x as boring as anyone else's life... and there is this huge build up for nothing.... So I spend 30 minutes on the build up to nothing happening...
I give you 2 examples.
Ice Road Truckers... Hugh is driving down the ice road, and a light goes on in
his truck...... that is minute 30.... Minute 45 he decides to Call Someone on
the Radio.... Minute 55 Nobody answers, and he keeps on driving..... Minute
58... he reaches his destination....
Seriously, lights go on in my car, and I keep driving(unless it's oil, or temp).. but nobody makes a show about my life.....
Deadliest Catch... They are pulling up crab... Minute 40... Someone is
going to get hurt... Minute 45 Still Pulling up pots..... Minute 50... Edger
gets hit in the head with "something".... Minute 55 He was hit in the head with
a hook.... Minute 57... He has a bump on his head.
Seriously, A cabinet hit me in the back of the head once, I got 7 stitches. I also once got poked in the arm with a knife while working.. 5 stitches out of that.... I even tried to convince the Doctor to stitch it without Anesthetic... just for fun
3 hours long
Ivonovich match today, best match yet....
second round everyone is realizing they have to bring out their A games
second round everyone is realizing they have to bring out their A games
Wind
The wind lets loose Havoc on Djocovich's game, and he is Crushed in straight sets, as Marat Saffin, decides to keep up with his sisters tennis success.
"if she can do it, so can I"... he was said to have commented as he left the court...
(I made up everything but that Saffin beat djocovich... and the wind oh and straight sets.. so I guess it was 70% true)

ESPN
Jesse Levine, is a young american that made it thrugh qualifires.
So ESPN has 6 stations running Wimbledon.
4 courts telivised
1 Roaming court Televised
1 espn2... with what they think is the best...
6 channels...
here is the catch.... several times, they are running say... Nadal on court station 2, then they run him on the Roaming Coverage, and on the regular ESPN... 6 stations, same thing on 3 of them..... What a waist of technology.....

Lindsey!!!!
Mrs Davenport just eeked out a win... well eeked isn't quite the word.. She won, but not decisively. or as decisively as a 25 should defeat an unranked player....
it doesn't bode well for her run here.... But unlike the commentators, this isn't IMO a retirement Tour.... She loves to play, and wants to give it a go.... I will be tough on the 32 year old mother, she will hurt, there will be pain... but she loves the game... and I have some hope for some better results... Maybe not now... but in the future...
GO Lindsey!!
and Roddick may just make it through the first round(do I sound bitter). Blake is about to start, and Andy murry is on court... Which sucks because I can't watch 3 matches.

She will Crush You!!!!
I'm not talking about Serina.....
I'm talking about Kuznetsova....
Who is the Ivan Drago of Women's Singles. Let me do away with tact for a moment, She isn't much to look at... I know tennis is about more than that.
What I do like..... and maybe this reflects a lot about me.... I'm starting to enjoy watching her "Crush, and dismantle" all the little Tennis ingenues .... The age of the Petite Tennis champion are over..... Good thing Ivanovic can chew nails
Umn...
What is it about when I run, I want to steal my neighbors lawn chachkis and newspapers... I keep hoping someone will get the NYTimes.
I added the Wimbledon Widget. I'm not sure who I want to track with it.....
figure it out later.
Currently we have some unknowns, or hardly knowns

Summer Vacation
"Remember when we were kids and it always seemed like summer vacation went by so fast...Life goes by faster than any old summer vacation"
Well As always Thanks for reading.... Wimbledon is on, and I have to convince myself to go run this morning or something.

The 2 Correys or is it coreys
I only watched the last 2 episodes... and as a regular reader knows, my love hate relationship with TV.... It's always volatile.
Sometimes the thing with ... Blogs and Reality T.V. , Well sometimes you are just watching a Car Wreck.
I caught a few episodes of Gene Simmons Family Jewels, now that is great, it's a total put on. And makes me realize what a Genius Gene is.. Regardless of his poor performance in "RunAway"... But I will Grant a decent performance in "Wanted: dead or alive", a very unappreciated action movie.
But I digress... I figured 2 Correys was a put on too, but it's been escalated this season... Understand I grew up with them, Even had some respect for Haim back in the lucas days.. maybe even Murphy's romance, I was even learning to drive when "Licence to drive" came out(with Roller Girl BTW)... Sorry I don't want to go off on too many tangents.
Well 1990 hit as did my graduation from HighSchool, and effectively they both self destructed... and here I am Nearly 20 years later, watching the same car Wreck...
One can hope that Haim can get his shit back together, but sometimes you realize that someone was so fucked up for longer than they can remember anything else, there may not be another choice....
I guess that is the thing I hope, I hope I'm watching it to hope that the guy gets his shit together, as opposed to watching another disaster.... The guy does seem to have a desire to bang his head against the things that are holding him back..... That Is the thing about personal Daemons, You sort of have to Bang your head against them, or face them until they become manageable... worst thing is to run from them.... Cause they will get you for sure, if you run.
What a stupid thing to blog about..... And As distracted with other things, as I am... I know... it's fairly incoherent....
I guess my point is...... I hope I have the Strength to not waist my time watching this Crap.... Oh, and my liberal use of Capitalization... WTF is up with that... Hey, sorry it's all I have..
Tennis starts in 20 minutes.

Tomatoes
so, explain to me how salmonella got on tomatoes. Unless they were being eaten by reptiles.... This is just crazy.
If they aren't Bruised, or have a bite out of them, wash them with a little bleach, or alcohol... and unless some crazy field hand is injecting them(you should be able to see needle damage), They should be fine.
