I haven't watched the Grammy's in a long time but I decided to check it out this year. Nice way to start the show with the reunited Sting (who still is a total hottie) and the Police and the classic "Roxanne".
I think the one thing that watching the Grammy's made me realize is that I really don't listen to a lot of main stream music anymore. I don't really care about Mary J. Blige, Christina Agulera Shakira, Black Eyed Peas, Red Hot Chili Peppers or Justin Timberlake, but that goes without saying lol.
I've really become a fan of indie artists, artists that are unknown and not overplayed on the radio. That's where all the undiscovered talent is in my opinion.
I did enjoy the James Blunt, John Legend, John Mayer, and Gnarls Barkley performances .
And I was very happy that John Mayer won the best pop vocal album although I have to say I was kinda hoping James Blunt would take it.
The best moment of the night goes to the Dixie Chicks for once again sticking it to the critics with a Simpson's quote no less! lol. Priceless!.
Oh, and it looks like aside from Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood seems to be having the most success out of all the previous idols. She won the best new artist award.
Next on the award circuit? The Oscars! only a couple of more weeks I can't wait!. It's gonna be good this year.

Wonder Woman parody
A hilarious look at why being a super hero is not such a glamorous job.
And just another reason why Xena is so much better:)

BLOG ARCHIVING 101
I was debating on whether to say anything about this but my frustrations on this issue won out. Before I get to what this is all about I just wanna say this is only a friendly reminder though it's delivery may not sound as such blame it on the type of mood I'm in.
Ok, so on with the topic, I think a lot of people from my visitors, to my friends, to my family members are under the impression that my blog is only focused on Tennis. And I admit it may seem that way at first since the main reason I started it was to share my passion for the sport with other people. But I must point out that the reason people have that impression is because a lot of them don't check the little feature on the blog called an archive.
Let me explain how it works, first off any topic that I write on any given day will be at the very top, that's because an archive sorts the posts in accordance to it's date so the most recent post will always be at the top and the days proceeding it will be at the bottom.
I also have to point out that when clicking on an archive (located right underneath previous posts on the right side of the blog) you are looking at the total posts from the entire month not just one day (for example the month of March). So that means the month may contain anywhere from 1 to 31 posts.
Oh, and I cannot stress this point enough when visiting my blog be sure to scroll down and read the entire page (keep going down till you see the page counter) because as I've mentioned above the month contains more then one topic. I know it may seem time consuming to some but that's just the way the blog is set up, one month is one long page.
Is anyone detecting frustration at this point? lol
Oh, and one more thing I did start the blog last year which means it now contains topics from 2006 and 2007 so be sure to click on them that's what they're there for.
Again please remember to scroll down, I'm sick of being accused of covering only one topic, when in fact I cover many.
Hope this helps and happy reading to all.

Martina Hingis Pan Pacific Open Champion!!
Such a lovely photo, really shows how much winning the title meant to her
Awwww
hingis.orgIt's revenge week in Tokyo for Martina Hingis, she beat Ana Ivanovic in just over an hour 6-4 6-2 and took the title. Making this win her record fifth Pan Pacific Open title (she previously won it in 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2002). I guess she is right playing on carpet does suit her game.
This win makes it her first title this year (her 3rd one since her come back last year) and 43rd overall in her career. I am thrilled for her:), now I just can't wait to see her finally holding that elusive French Open trophy. I have a good feeling about it, and I think this is the year when it finally happens.
Great early start to the year I wish her luck in all of her other tournaments, hope that total title number keeps going up;). Congrats to Martina for another great win and another title!!

Hingis storms past Dementieva in Tokyo
hingis.orgLooks like Martina got her revenge (I love writing that), she beat Elena Dementieva in straight sets 6-4 6-3 booking her place in the final with Ana Ivanovic (Sharapova retired with a hamstring injury).
This will mark their second meeting the last time these two played each other was last year in the finals of Montreal where Ivanovic was the victor. Here is hoping Hingis gets her revenge again and takes the title. Good luck Martina and congrats on the huge win! :).

Martina Hingis in the semis of Tokyo Pan Pacific Open
It was an easy victory for Martina today she steam rolled passed Australian Samantha Stosur 6-0 6-1 to reach the semis in Tokyo. Now she'll once again face Elena Dementiava, the two played each other last year in the finals of the same tournament.
This will mark their 7th meeting (they're 3-3 in head to head), something tells me that Martina really wants to win this one, looking for a little revenge. Though the final won't be any easier then the semis she'll either have to face Sharapova or Ivanovic (she did beat Sharapova last year in Tokyo so I'm hoping for another meeting with those two). And I'm crossing my fingers and wishing her lots of luck tomorrow in her meeting with Dementieva.
