You can't beat watching a bit of tennis!! Was very proud to watch a British player (yay to Murray) win Wimbledon this year. I also watch surfing and BMX competitions. I play tennis and surf! And watching it can inspire you to be better! Each to their own and all that :D

It was incredible!! He believes in himself so much more, you could see how positive he was! Looking forward to the US open!
Omg i go to sleep and wake up with a new conversations on here! (feel so left out) Ok...I'm reading Torrent. The 3rd book in The River of Times Series by Lisa T Bergren :)
oh and Good Morning everyone! :D
I have a guy friend who plays tennis and i've never missed a single game of his! I HATED it at first!! He lives, breaths and eats Tennis! I go over to his house and he's watching Tennis. We go outside to play he brings his tennis racquet and tennis balls. Most of our conversations are.about Tennis!
So after a long time of being around it i've grown to love it! I even catch myself sometimes watching it on TV ;P
And then of course i go and practice with him!!
Ok i,LOVE sports!!! Basketball (play rather than watch) Football (both) Tennis (watch rather than play) Volleyball (Play) and any other sport! <3

cool! do u play instruments?
I would love to learn how to play the guitar
neat, I'm learning how to play the clarinet and piano.
I don't play any sports and I only watch my kids play sports, nothing on t.v. I'm not a very athletic person.
I can play the flute but its been a few months since I've played on it.
Heather wrote: "I can play the flute but its been a few months since I've played on it."oh nice! I wanted to play flute in the band, but i got clarinet:) its still really fun!!
Hah. I was the opposite. I wanted to play clarinet until I realized how good I was at the flute.
I've been writing a LOT here on Goodreads lately. I'm writing several stories and they're turning out pretty good so far!! C:
I think the fanatical behavior displayed by some sports fans is ludicrous. I mean, remember the film, the Bronx Tale? When the guy said "Does Mickey Mantle pay your rent?!
Mariangela wrote: "I think the fanatical behavior displayed by some sports fans is ludicrous. I mean, remember the film, the Bronx Tale? When the guy said "Does Mickey Mantle pay your rent?!"I agree with that :) When things turn violent or mean it's too much and not fun anymore!
I play piano and guitar adn flute and sing! I love music! and I can pick up stuff really easily. :)GO MUSIC!! WHOOP WHOOP!
But then it's like: okay Renee, sport.
And I'm like: o.O? sport? oh right that thing...
tee hee! But I do like swimming, I just don't watch sports.

I understand why people watch and follow sports. They test human physical and spiritual abilities to the limit. However, some fans are just too into it.
The groups is quite...... Seems like ghost town is here ^^
ghost town?Yes, that's true Anton. Playing and watching sports has its merits.
It's been really quiet on here today :)
I heard Europe is having the heatwave we had here last week.
Yes were having a heatwave Unfortunately I'm at work today :( When I finish work I'm coming back to read the last of my book
I went on a nice hiking trip today with my dog, the weather has been superb here in East U.S. Unlike last week...ughhh.... I then spent the night working on a novel, and I might cap off my night by watching a Star Trek episode or two.
Mountains...*nods* I haven't had an ice-cream in almost 5 years, or anything with sugar in it. And yeah, I try to eat carbs early in the day only. I make sure I run 2 miles a day and hit the gym, or I won't sleep at night.
It's 50 degrees in the PNW so decided to go to the open market and oh god do i regret it! almost died! But got to spend sometime quality time with the mother : )

OMG! no ice cream? in 5 fivers? NO! How can you not? I dont get people like you! haha sorry lost it a bit
I eat ice cream everyday! summer and winter we never run out of it because ill give my daddy hell about it xP
Anton wrote: "I can't have sugar unfortunately."Aww. I'm sorry :"(
I get the feeling one of those days i'll get there too, but for now? Im going to enjoy my sugar xP

Haha nothing better to have for breakfast than ice cream believe me!! **Chocolate cookie dough with crunchy cookies and whipped cream!**
I still eat sugar, but only in natural forms. Have a banana and oatmeal instead! With cinnammon and raisins. Yum!
Anton wrote: "I still eat sugar, but only in natural forms. Have a banana and oatmeal instead! With cinnammon and raisins. Yum!"Seems like mother is home! haha jk
but i eat healthy other than ice cream! im not like som food junkie! hahaha i eat home made food (mother's dream was to be a chef) and home made organic juice!! i think i earned my one ice cream a day! :P
Amelia wrote: "Is there a reason for your not eating any (unnatural) sugar, Anton? I normally take care of my diet, but when it comes to candy, I just... It's so yum! I don't want to stop eating candy, hah. Unles..."I only started my love for ice cream when i discovered my love for books. ice cream shops are the best place to read a book at! haha
and yea your right, the more reason to love the man! he bikes everyday, runs 12 miles a week, watches his diet and mine, takes me to the soccer park every weekend and Monday, and supplies me with books and ice cream! haha I couldnt have asked for a better daddy :)
and the good thing about sports is when u start them you enjoy them then you wouldnt stop : )
Amelia wrote: "I wish I had a father :P I mean I do have one, but I haven't seen the dude in about 5 years now? Yeah that's about right.I just do my awesome solo sports like running. But it's too hot for that too."
Awwwwww!!! I am so sorry! that sucks!
i can never understand how a girl can live without her dad. im just grateful i have got him. and one thing i know is that every dad is at his best when he's around his baby girls : )
Not all dads Haven't seen my dad in 9 years I was only 16 Last time I saw him

Well have a good work day!! better get whatever it is done ! : )
talk to u later
@Natalie. I'm so sorry. I understand that not all dads are the same and that some are worse than others.
Amelia wrote: "Oh yes! We're totally in a heat wave. It gets up to 40° C at the moment. That's 104° in F. It's really really hot and annoying; and while I am pretty adaptable, my friend almost died playing tennis..."That's wild! The Earth is so bipolar ...literally.
And as for cakes...no refined sugar for me. Because of health reasons. The holidays are a pain when I see all the pastries on the table...

I get that some dads are just stupid though
If I don't get 7 hours, I'm a madman! haha. Although, there are times when I get little sleep and find myself getting more work done. Perhaps, it's the increased adrenaline from the lack of sleep that helps put a spring in my step.
All this talking of working got me thinking of my online courses. Blah :/While some people (Amelia) on the other side are getting up, little ole' me is not even ready to sleep yet xP
Anton, a quick q. i know u live in NY but do u always have a have a view of the ocean? cuz a sunrise is best seen close to waters

Go for it! It's always a good idea to write when you feel like it :) Writing can't be forced!
Hi guys! I know I haven't been around much, but anyway... My blog had been no tied for an award and I'd really appreciate it if you could vote for me because voting closes in a few hours and I'm a tiny bit behind. Thank you so much! Here is the link if you'd like to vote: http://thebloggyawards.blogspot.ie/20...
Yes Asma I'm surrounded by water on all sides which hasn't been a good thing for these past 3 years. NYC has been a magnet for hurricanes lately.
Oh well I guess there will always be a down side to everything. I haven't lived by water in like 3 years!
