happening london

apart from today being the birthday of my best buddy in high school (happy happy to you bee bear!), london has got to be the place to be if you're a sports addict like me. check these out:
tour de france: kicks off this year in the millenium wheel city.

british grand prix: with lewis hamilton, the local wunderkind of formula 1 racing circa 2007 in pole position, it will either be the day he stamps with authority his commanding lead in the driver's championship standings, further boost mclaren's constructor points, and rub it hard in alonso's face that perhaps HE (hamilton) should be the first driver OR kimi raikkonen and felipe massa of ferrari do a tag team act and steal the thunder from lewis in his home grand prix to make the ferrari-mclaren rivalry even more exciting. you all know i'm rooting for kimi, no? yes! but if lewis gets this one, well-deserved and simply capital.

wimbledon: save the best for last. The greatest tennis player of all time will be gunning for his fifth consecutive wimbledon singles title in the presence of the august bjorn borg (who is back at wimbledon after sooo many years of not being around) OR the king of clay for the past three years will attempt to become the first man since the august bjorn borg to win the french open and wimbledon titles back to back. either way, today is going to be a historic day, and i am about to pee in my pants at the prospect. come on my rafa boy, give it to roger and make a dang go of the title! can you smell it? i would love to see you at that champion's ball, dancing with venus. just this one time around! then come 2008, you have just got to give the french open to roger, then we'll all be happy, no?

i'm faint with excitement... nike has scored another coup in the finals! :)
