French Open women’s final zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Women’s tennis is more boring then ever. Justine Henin destroyed Ana Ivanovic so quickly it was all zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.  The WTA desperately needs the Williams Sisters back on top. Serena has fulfilled her part but Venus continues to languish in the background. Sport needs exciting personalities and right now the WTA has just Serena but she can’t do it all alone. Serena’s rival Justine Henin is about as exciting as burnt toast. Henin is very talented but she’s also comes across as very unfriendly like Maria Sharapova the ice queen of the WTA.  The grand slam finals for women’s tennis for the last couple of years have been very boring and very one sided affairs. I clicked off the match once I realized the final was going to be one way traffic.

I didn’t think Serbian teen Ana Ivanovic was going to beat world no.1 Justine Henin in the French Open women’s final. However, I did think she could of at least won a set. However, Ivanovic let nerves overwhelm her and she imploded. Henin won the match 6-1 6-2. Henin won the entire event in straight sets in only 65 minutes. However, I felt empty after the match. Henin became only the  second woman in the modern Open era after Monica Seles to have won the French Open three years in a row. Henin is simply a boring person with no personality and no it isn’t because of the language barrier. Ivanovic I hope she develops and becomes a champion she has a very easy going kind of personality and women’s tennis needs new stars.   The WTA needs Indian tennis star Sania Mirza to get her ranking up. I am so sick and tired of these zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz finals.

“Shades Of Blackface” published in New Zealand Herald today

My article “Shades Of Blackface” was published in the New Zealand Herald today.  I am pleased the article got published because I believe it is a very important piece. I hope people in New Zealand were able to read the article on the internet and in print. I pitched the article to North American publications and of course they all flat rejected the article. I wondered why? And now I don’t even have to wonder. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are the ” golden” white couple of Hollywood. The hypocrisy and silence of the North American media on this very important issue is not surprising.  White Hollywood doesn’t give a crap if talented black actors don’t get quality work.
