Damn straight money can buy happiness. It isn't always about materialistic possessions. I'm grateful every day that I have a roof over my head. Me and my family were homeless and living in a shelter for 2 months about 7 or 8 years ago and I never want to go through that crap again.

Tough loss for Mattek. She lost a real close first set amd after being up 5-3 in the tiebreak, she basically gave it away with two unforced errors and then a double fault. After that she looked deflated. Blake advanced after his opponent (Forgot his name) retired due to a back injury I believe. Blake will now face Mardy Fish (Who just won) in the 3rd round. Ivanovic coming up next.

Wow, yesterday was boring. Night matches were lame, no big upset, no really exciting matches. It was great to see Tsonga back in action though. And sucks that Tipsarevic got injured. Mens: Seeded players advancing: Novak Djokovic(3), Nikolay Davydenko(5), Andy Roddick(8), Nicolas Almagro(18), Jo-Wilfried Tsonga(19), Dmitry Tursunov(26), Radek Stepanek(28), Marin Cilic(30) Seeded played eliminated: None Womens: Seeded players advancing: Jelena Jankovic(2), Svetlana Kuznetsova(3), Elena Dementieva(5), Marion Bartoli(12), Victoria Azarenka(14), Patty Schnyder(15), Caroline Wozniacki(21), Lindsay Davenport(23), Katarina Srebotnik(28), Sybille Bammer(29) Seeded played eliminated: Vera Zvonareva(8), Francesca Schiavone(25), Anabel Medina Garrigues(26) I'm looking forward to today though. Wanna see how Blake and Ivanovic rebound after some tough matches a few days ago. Hoping Mattek can make it to the next round too. It'd be nice to see an American woman not named "Williams" do well. She did all right during Wimbledon. As for the night matches, I haven't got a chance to see Vesnina play in a while either so that'll be fun. Too bad it's against Serena. XD. And finally, Ryler De Heart takes on Rafael Nadal in the second night match so a lot of people will be watching that one. I'm hoping for an upset or at least a good showing from the American.

To anyone that hasn't seen the commercial yet: And after yesterday... Mens: Seeded players advancing: Roger Federer(2), Fernando Gonzalez(11), Fernando Verdasco(13), Ivo Karlovic(14), Tommy Robredo(15), Igor Andreev(23), Paul-Henri Mathieu(24), Andreas Seppi(31) Seeded played eliminated: Richard Gasquet(12), Nicolas Kiefer(20), Tomas Berdych(22) Womens: Seeded players advancing: Ana Ivanovic(1), Serena Williams (4), Dinara Safina(6), Venus Williams(7), Agnieszka Radwanska(9), Agnes Szavay(13), Flavia Pennetta(16), Alize Cornet(17), Nadia Petrova(19), Nicole Vaidisova(20), Alona Bondarenko(27), Ai Sugiyama(30) Seeded played eliminated: Daniela Hantuchova(11), Virginie Razzano(31)

Lol @ Michael Wilbon. During the big finish they asked "Ivanovic was taken to a 3rd set by the 57th ranked player, surprised?" Wilbon: "No, she played in the Olympics. All those girls are tired." Except she didn't.

What's with all the hate on the WS all the time? Is it because they aren't "OMFG HAWT HAWT HAWT"? I swear to God sometimes people don't even care about their actual skills. Plus, gotta root for the US whenever possible. They're ALL we have when it comes to tennis. Roddick is garbage, LOL Blake, Davenport is done soon, we got some young people too but they aren't winning anything any time soon, and everyone else isn't worth mentioning. People need to stop hating on the WS for no reason. Anyway, Daniela Hantuchova went down so another hottie is eliminated. Ivanovic struggled to get by that Russian girl whose name I forgot too. Spadea almost upset Safin and Gasquet DID get upset by Tommy Haas. I actually called that one but didn't type it anywhere. Sam Querrey won in straight sets. Pretty fun day so far.

Ok, I was tired as hell last night so I didn't do this but now I will. Mens: Seeded players advancing: Rafael Nadal(1), David Ferrer(4), Andy Murray(6), David Nalbandian(7), James Blake(9), Stanislas Wawrinka(10), Gilles Simon(16), Juan Martin Del Potro(17), Philipp Kohlschreiber(25), Gael Monfils(32) Seeded played eliminated: Feliciano Lopez(27), Juan Monaco(29) Womens: Seeded players advancing: Jelena Jankovic(2), Svetlana Kuznetsova(3), Elena Dementieva(5), Vera Zvonareva(8), Marion Bartoli(12), Victoria Azarenka(14), Patty Schnyder(15), Caroline Wozniacki(21), Lindsay Davenport(23), Francesca Schiavone(25), Anabel Medina Garrigues(26), Katarina Srebotnik(28), Sybille Bammer(29) Seeded played eliminated: Anna Chakvetadze(10), Maria Kirilenko(22), Shahar Peer(24)

Blake wins a freaking awesome match. Can't wait for tomorrow night.

5th set! 5th set! Epic match on opening night!

Donald Young and James Blake are playing a hell of a fourth set right now. It's freaking awesome. I hope Young puts it all together soon because he's looking really good out there.

Happened last Monday. Coco Vs Jankovic about to happen on USA! Also, Kirilenko was knocked out in a close third set. Bad day to be a Russian hottie.

Wow, Chakvetadze out already. Once she loses a couple of tough points she just completely breaks down. I really feel sorry for her.

Nadal will take over the number 1 spot after this tourny. who would have thought that would actually happen He already is number 1.

Lmao that's supposed to say "damn good match". Terrible typo. And damn things don't look good for Anna Chakvetadze or Maria Kirirlenko right now.

I saw that, it was a damn good match. I don't know much about Phau but he played his ass off today and could've come away with a win if he didn't make so many errors.

Starts soon. All 3 or 4 of us tennis fans can discuss it here. Here's my quick predictions... Men's semis: Nadal over Murray Federer over Roddick Finals: Federer over Nadal (Yup, Fed is back) Women's semis: Ivanovic over S. Williams Wozniacki over Dementieva Finals: Wozniacki over Ivanovic (EDIT: I know I had it as Ivanovic over Wozniacki at first but that was a mistake.) I think Wozniacki upsets Jankovic in her quarter. Should be nice.

May, Burke, Kardashian. Must be the nice ass version of DWTS. Don't forget Sapp.

Demo sucked. The developer is all over the net trying to convince people his game doesn't suck because it's been getting low scores everywhere. That's kind of pathetic. It looks all right but I don't think people want to pay 65 bucks for it. I'll probably pick it up in early next year because I'm sure it'll drop in price quickly. Fable 2 looks all right but is supposed to be extremely short. All these games with their short single player campaigns that only care about co-op piss me off. I have XBox Live and all, but I'm not wasting 65 bucks so I can go online and play with others just to make a game longer. Maybe I worry too much about length and all that but 65 dollars is A LOT of money. Game better give me more than some 10 hours. I didn't like GTA4 that much but that game was perfectly done.

Well I'm in Homestead and my dad wanted to put shutters up just in case. In the cold, hard rain. Yay.

Who cares? Spain sucks. And it seems they can wear whatever the hell they want on the back of their jerseys. I saw last names, first names, and last names with the first letter of the first name.

That was bad ass.

It's pretty funny how even ESPN personalities are always pissed that they have to talk about Favre so much.

BRING UP RVH NOW.

Clippers don't look all that bad all of a sudden. B-Diddy, Camby, Kaman, Eric Gordan, Brevin Knight, Cuttino Mobley, Tim Thomas. At least it looks like they're actually trying.
