Balls and More Balls

What a title for this section? Intrigued? Me too. What will it be about?

Well lets start with decadence in the form of the White Tie Ball from Sir Elton John. Now here's a man who gets a lot of bad press fro being a grumpy bad tempered diva. So what if he is, he has worked hard throughout his life and if he wants to be like that so be it. But I think there must be another side to Sir Elton for if there wasn't how would he have found his true love. And that's the thing to remember. We all wear masks but when we are alone in the dark, as Shakespeare once said, "To thine own self be true". Remember the only person who has power in your life is you. You decide who you love, you decide how you life goes and you have the power to change things, no one else, just you!

And that brings me to the second set of balls, or should I say new balls please.

Now I will admit that when I first saw Andy Murray I was not his biggest fan. Why? well he wasn't Timbo was he? However as I have watched him grow he has shown his true nature a steely determination and a strength of character that few people have. The challenge is he is up against a mammoth of a task today when he takes on Rafa, the man every father would like their daughter to marry. But in reality the truth is that both these two young men are good decent people who have triumphed to reach the top of their chosen profession. If Andy wins today the whole nation will get a boost, if Rafa wins today then people will not jeer nor curse because we love him too. Today tennis will win, and that is what sport is about, for tomorrow Andy and Rafa will play play station together again for they are friends that have rivalry in a thing that they love. Yet they know at the end of the day it is just a game.

It's all about the balls!
