Getcha Open On




It's U.S. Open time.

Game on, dudes.

The U.S. Open is my favorite grand slam in tennis because of one main reason. Two of my favorite things combined into one awesome event: sports and celebrities. This tournament is sort of like the greatest sporting event ever meets Us Weekly. Because the U.S. Open is played in New York, it's sort of like a mecca of who's who in celebrity sports fanaticism (I don't know if "fanaticism" is a word,in fact, I am pretty sure it's not, but just go with it)the U.S. Open is a tournament with all the makings of a great issue of Us weekly. Already I've read that Gwen Stefani and that odd-named baby of hers have made an appearance, Paris Hilton stopped by the Opening Party and rumors have been swirling over the "are they or aren't they" relationship of Andy Roddick and Maria Sharapova. This hook-up excitement reminds me of that horrible movie, Wimbledon, with Kirsten Dunst, who I hate, but was forced to watch on a plane from London as to not go totally insane with boredom. In the movie, Kirsten is this up and coming tennis star who hooks up with veteran British cutie, Paul Bettany. They fall in love and improve each other's backhands all at the same time. It really is a ridiculous movie. Kirsten Dunst makes for a HORRIBLE tennis player. I mean really. It's comical. Go rent it just to see how bad she is.

What was the point of talking about Kirsten Dunst?....

Oh yeah. Andy and Maria. Anyways, these rumors remind me of that movie because I wonder if Andy sneaks over to Maria's hotel room at night or if Maria watches his matches from a private box. That's what I'd do If I were them.

But I'm not...and if you saw me play last night, you'd realize how far from tennis domination I am.

Me and Heather FINALLY got to play last night at Liberty Park. Heather is better than me, I mean, I'm not even going to front about that. But last night was so frustrating. I could not keep the ball in the court. I was beating myself. I feel that if I could just control my shot better, I would be able to beat Heather. She would probably beg to differ, but I am confident I'd be able to better compete. I need a new racquet too, that might help.

School started for the peeps up in L-town. Not going to lie, still not used to this whole "graduated" thing. I still miss Logan a lot.

It's P.R. night. This is it. Vincent is gone. I CAN FEEL IT.

Bri my night did not go as I had hoped. We spent most of it at the bingo event on campus (not my style) and then finally went to village inn, where a million and one of those guys friends showed up and I felt like a serious odd man out. I knew a total of five people in a crowd of about twenty. And throughout all of this no sign of the reason I went....

Sorry the night was a let down. Bingo Night is fun I think...well I always thought so. Michelle take it from someone who knows, embrace the nerdy college activities cause once it's over IT'S OVER and you will no longer have stuff like that to spend your wednesday nights. Suck it up, lose the attitude and have a little fun!! :) (I sound like my mother)

Bri...as an English teacher, I feel it imperative that I remind you it's, "Heather and I" not "Me and Heather." Just a reminder.

PR is the bomb. I also love Michael, but I love Laura too. I'm torn.

Did you see Maria's outfit on Saturday night? She looked hot! I love that she wore black sparkles on the court. You should look into getting that outfit.

Jennifer, people think you are an English teaching snob. Like people come up to me and say, "That Jen person on your blog needs to get a life and stop correcting your grammar" Really.

I'm just saying.
