Once a white trash whore, always a white trash whore?


What is wrong with Britney Spears?? I was all for a comeback but seriously, is hanging out with the likes of Paris and Lindsay going to help? Probably not. And where the heck are her kids while she's out partying every night?

The Swiss Nemesis

I don't know many people from Switzerland. But the one person I do know that is from there, I don't like. Roger Federer. Do I even have a good reason not to like him? No. But I can't help it. I just don't like him. Being an Andy Roddick fan, I obviously can't stand how he wins everything. But what makes his winning even worse is the way he acts. Are we actually supposed to believe that he is really that shocked to be winning yet ANOTHER grand slam? For example, when he won the US Open this year he fell to the ground like his life had just been spared and he was just grateful to be alive. Save it, Rog. Don't pretend like you weren't expecting to win the whole tournament from day one. Seriously. We don't want to see it. It's just as boring for us to watch you win again as it is for you to go throughout the tournament slaughtering everyone you play. Am I the only one who thinks that competition in sports is what makes them exciting and fun? Well, with Roger Federer dominating everyone he played, tennis lost that level of competition for a while and it really wasn't all that fun to watch. This is why I couldn't be more happy to say-
PEOPLE, ANDY IS BACK!!!

I even say this on the wake of Andy losing another match to Federer at the Masters Cup in Shanghai. And by wake, I mean sleep because the match was on at 4 o'clock in the morning. As much as I love Andy, I might even love my sleep more, so I didn't wake up to watch it. I did, however, use the restroom at about 4:30 and, while I was up, turned on the tv to see what the score was. I was pleasantly suprised to see that Andy was up a break in the first set, 4-2. I watched until the end of that set, which Andy won 6-4, and then went back to bed. I then had about 3 different dreams about the match. In one of them Andy sprained his ankle again and had to forfeit the rest of the match, giving Federer the win. In another one, Andy won in a tie break. I can't remember the other. Finally, when I woke up for good, I got on the computer to see what had actually happened. Both fortunately and unfortunately, none of my dreams came true. Andy didn't win but luckily he hadn't sprained his ankle either. Andy probably should have won the match. He had 3 freaking match points in the 2nd set! But Roger Federer is still Roger Federer and of course had to come back to win. I didn't watch the match so I'm not really sure if Federer was having a bad day or what, but I'm going to assume that he was not, since that rarely ever happens with him. From what I saw and what I read about the match, Andy played really well. This makes me so happy because it means that he really is back, that his little stint in the US Open final this year was not a fluke, like some people thought. He really has improved that much since hiring Jimmy Conners as a coach. It means that there is finally competition back in the game of tennis which is very exciting. It means that it no longer sucks to be an Andy fan. It almost has me wishing I was this tennis racket.
