As anyone who reads my blog on a regular basis might have noticed--I haven't written for over a week--but it's all good--cause now I'm back!
First of all the best of all congratulations to Roger Federer who finally pulled off a huge win against his arch-rival Rafa Nadal--in the New Madrid Open!
It's kind of ironic that Roger won at the first final of the first tournament in Spain --held at this brand new stadium- -for their own champion Rafa - and stop the march of history from advancing against him. He is now tied with Rafa at 15 Master's won--placing them both only two spots behind the all-time winner-Andre Agassi with his 17!
What a happy and unexpected surprise to see Roger play like he used to play--only even better if that was possible--and win in only two sets--6-4,6-4. It was his first Master's win since 2007--which was also the last time he beat Nadal--on clay.
While the announcers were blaming Rafa's loss on his exhaustion after his four hour long battle against Djokovic--yesterday--I --as a long time fan of Rog--have noticed that he seemed to be playing much better during the last week and attribute his win to that!
No matter what the reason--he did win and put the up-coming French Open into a different light. I can look forward to it now--and not bite my nails in anticipation.
Not that I expect Rog to win that slam this year--but his win today --most certainly raised all of our hopes.
On the basketball front--I was very sad to see my team the Houston Rockets lose so badly against the LA Lakers today--it wasn't really avoidable.
They managed to pull off a seventh game in the second round--without the aid of 3 of the main players on their team--due to career stopping injuries--in the case of Tracy McGrady and Dikembe Mutambo--not to mention their main attraction Yao Ming--who will hopefully be back later this year.
So thanks Rockets--for doing all you did--you were impressive --against all odds!
http://.www.savethefrogs.comOn the political front--I refuse to participate in the daily battle to hold our president responsible for every shitty thing that's happened in the last ten years--cause obviously that's all bulshit.
I really cannot compare him or his people to the last administration--no matter what.
Do I wish he were more liberal in his attitude towards them and more outspoken against all the atrocities that took place in the name of "making this country safe"- the answer is YES --but he is doing --(I believe) his best--to change the world for the better--after everything was done to ruin our country and our planet--by ignoring science and the best advice of our best and brightest.
We were taken into two unnecessary wars, ignored global warming and climate change, setting us and the world back in ways that are probably too horrific to reverse.
So I'm focusing on the fact that I still sleep a lot better since President Obama came into office.
And I still have hope that he will eventually succeed in leading us into a better future!
