Wimbledon and Jason Mraz

I completely and totally forgot how much I love tennis. For 5 years, I lived and breathed tennis. It's how I lost all the weight. I would wake up at 7 am and play tennis for 2 hours with my dad. There were some weeks where we played every single day. It would never fail, I would watch the Grand Slams and feel the sudden urge to play. I miss my dad. He's such a great man. He has to be the humblest, funniest, kindest guy I know. He sacrificed about 1000 hours teaching me how to play tennis. He still plays to this day. My dad is over 60 and he still beats guys half his age. My dad has always been in great shape, I don't know how his genes skipped out on me.

I don't know what happened but all of a sudden I just stopped playing and stopped watching all the pros. I guess I got to busy? I moved, I graduated, I married... I guess my life moved on.

Thank goodness for Wimbledon. I've spent the whole week watching Wimbledon from 8 til 5. I haven't sat down and watched a game in ages. This week, I really sat and watched the strokes and the strategy. It rekindled a love that has been long buried and forgotten. Now all the players that I used to love like Guga, Ferrero, Safin and Ivanisevic, are now obsolete and have been replaced by new tennis stars. So, thank you to Wimbledon and Janko Tipsarevic for renewing my love of tennis.



Also, I literally stumbled upon the new Jason Mraz cd... That kid is love. I'll always remember my friend Yessie for introducing him to me in college. We used to read his blog during breaks during class and squee about his genius. His new album is so great for the summer, especially on a nice relaxing afternoon sipping a cool glass of lemonade.



I'm watching Wanted tonight. I'm super excited.
