Roger Federer lucky 15

With the way Federer is going Nike is going to have to make a LOT more of these in the future *LOL*.

I'm also going to take this opportunity to vent. Why is it that I always miss the epics? *sigh*.

Last year I missed the marathon Wimbledon final between Federer and Nadal. And this year it's Federer vs. Roddick.

I picked the worse time to go on vacation *lol*.

Hopefully I'll be able to find the matches on the net. I have so much to catch up on (when I get home), I think a tennis marathon will be in order :D.

In all seroiusness I want to say congratulations to Roger Federer on his 15th Grand Slam title.

Now he truly is one the GOATs (Greatest of All Time).

Song of the Moment: Pink- Funhouse

I was hoping this would be her next music video. It's my fave track on the album.

To all fellow Canucks....

I may be out of the country but I haven't forgotten (well I almost did but my dad was kind enough to remind me;).

Hope all of you have a good one!.

Btw. thank you Google for the wonderful graphic of the Mountie on Google.ca =).

R.I.P. Michael Jackson :(

I've always been a huge Michael Jackson fan. To me his music will always be timeless.

Like the rest of the world at this very moment I am still in total and utter shock at his death.

Love him, or hate him there's no denying the man was a legend in the music industry.

And I choose to remember him that way.

R.I.P Michael to say you'll be sorely missed is an understatement.

Heading overseas

In mid-March of this year I had mentioned that I was getting ready for a trip back home to visit my family.

Well that day has finally arrived, and my mom and I are heading out to the airport today for a night flight (my first) back to Poland.

It's going to be an interesting experience since it has been twelve years that I last stepped on a plane.

I'm dreading the take-off and landing (once we're in the air I'm hoping to just relax and sleep for most of it).

I'm nervous but I'm also excited and happy to be going on the first real vacation in many years.

I hope I can keep my mom from stressing too much about not being able to smoke for at least 10 hours *lol*. Wish me luck.

I don't know how frequently I'll be able to blog, if at all (since I'll be gone till mid July). It may be very sporadic.

But hopefully I'll be able to write a small update now and then. I should have plenty of things to talk about when I return.

Till then....
