Crazy

Nine days have gone by since I last posted. And I didn't even notice.

This week will be even crazier, as I've got so many things to attend to, all the way until next Wednesday.

Anyhow, I didn't get a chance to say how touching those tears of Federer were. Those tears were much more than your regular, "oh-dang-I-lost-this-is-tough" kind of tears. No, these tears represented lost opportunity for Federer. It represented a pain never felt before by the Swiss Maestro. He didn't even cry in London last year. So why now? Well, because everybody expected him to win, and he himself probably never believed he would lose in Melbourne. It was an amazing match, there are no words to describe it other than that.

Just how GREAT can this rivalry get?

Also, my friend raised an interesting point after the AO final. We know that Nadal will most likely get his 5th straight title at Roland Garros. Wimbledon will be a stretch for Federer, which makes the US Open very interesting to watch. Assuming the next two Grand Slams both go to Rafa, that means Nadal will have the chance to complete a prestigious Calendar Slam. And since Federer has won in Flushing Meadows for 5 straight years, his chances of winning his 14th (assuming he doesn't get it in Paris or London) will never be higher.

Oh, I can hardly wait until September, but don't get me wrong, Roland Garros and Wimbledon will both be really fabulous to watch just because of the Federer-Nadal rivalry.

What can I say about the Raptors? At the beginning of the season, I thought that they would make the play offs no problem. But now, they're one spot away from being cellar dwellers. Oh man, it's been a weird year for the Raptors. The inconsistency has proven to be a poison pill for us. But hey, I'll be looking forward to going to the Cavaliers game on the 18th!

Gotta go colour some maps for history. My teacher's Australian! Cool guy.
