Same difference

Filed Under Funnies, Goss

The television is usually my second past time. Whenever I have the chance to relax and unwind, the tv is my best friend. So, yesterday afternoon, as usual I was on the tube, channel surfing as usual, I finally settled for Britney Spears. I know its kind of stale news but it’s always interesting to witness the harsh realities of life - that no one is perfect.

I am sure during her heydays, every girl wanted to be just like her or trade lives with her. She was so immaculately perfect in every way. Beautiful, great voice, all the men, all the cash…just about everything. Not even a pimple in sight. People would purposely get the top mp3 players so they could listen to her music. Girls would dress up like her. Boys would have pre-mature ejaculation just listening to her voice. She is that hot!

But you know, at the end of the day, its all on the surface. She wasn’t allowed to be unhappy. She was probably even coached to smile irregardless of her emotions on any given day. To look happy even when she was having pms. To go on stage even though her pet dog is sick. Day in and day out, she had to portray that perfect picture or perfect-ness. The kind of happiness you’d see on someone’s face when getting a sony mp3 player as a birthday gift from their loved ones.

Still, humans are mortal creatures. They will eventually succumb to the harsh realities of life. No amount of money or fame could save you from the evil that lurks. You will fall towards the dark side. And for Britney, the dark side was her ex-husband, Mr. “leech” and “loser” and “good for nothing” Federline. I mean, she fell hook, line and sinker for that bozo. Bought him plenty of material gifts to enhance his already bloated ego. And that well probably also included an apple ipod. That jerk!

You know, she may never be the same again. I mean, your body will never be the same after 2 pregnancies. That is the ultimate fact. But she’s young, she got rid of Mr. K-should’ve-amputated-his-weenie Fed. She needs to be strong for her kids and re-build her life. Most importantly, she needs to have that self-belief and self-confidence back. I, for one, would hope she does bounce back and prove everyone wrong. Even if its just for the heck of it!

It’s over

Filed Under Thoughts

What everyone had anticipated came true. What they didn’t want happen, happened. There is only one word to describe the feeling - “disappointing”. But its not the first time that we all sympathize with (Roger) Federer whenever he loses to (Rafael) Nadal. Most of the time, Federer’s unforced errors are uncannily a high number whenever he plays Nadal. I know its not only him but the rest of the pack as well but you know, this shouldn’t even happen to the guy whom people has claimed to be one of the best in history. With his myriad of shot selection, you would think he know which one to use against Nadal by now.

But I guess not. I believe he knows how to play Nadal and to beat him too. The one thing that is preventing him from doing so is the inner confidence. He gets unusually pressured and tight whenever Nadal is over at the other side of the net. Now, that is something no one can help him but himself. He has to find a way to bury that ghost and move beyond that. To me, this is the key and Nadal knows it.

Oh well, I think I’ve said enough. Everyone has said enough. It’s the same thing - Federer has to somehow get that confidence back against Nadal. Otherwise, it’s no different than hanging up and throwing in the towel now cos Nadal will continue to exploit this weakness of Federer and whack the balls out of him (pun intended).

What have we learn for the day? Fed needs more confidence and I just need more computer memory.
