OMG, I've found Craig David!

Craig at some hotshot Miami club, I think its called 'SET' or 'BED' or 'TWIST TIE' or something.


On facebook (we are all familar with facebook, right?), they have a "interests" section, and I sooo totally put "finding out where the hell Craig David disappeared to after pretty much falling off after that "Fill Me In" song"

but folks, I find a picture. Apparently he walked away (does anyone get that reference?) to the nearest Miami hotspot...I guess London is somehow wack now?

He looks quite different with a) no twisty braids, b) a hat covering those twisty braids or c) no hair at all.

I really liked Craig because he had a nice voice and he carried on the Terrence Trent D'arby legacy that is British male vocalists crossing the pond.

After his second album (I think he may have released a third), which had a hit called "What's Your Flavor", which is currently on a subway commercial...or hmmm maybe its an ice cream commercial...he kind dropped off of the radar, I can't imagine he was dropped, so hopefully he'll come back out with something soon.

Earth-shattering his vocals, melodies and song lyrics and subject matter were not, but it was he music is good times all the same.

Stuff I don't understand about Venus Williams

So, Venus Eboni Starr Williams is a legendary tennis player, right? There is no doubt she will make it into the US and International Halls of Fame. She's won titles from Wimbledon, the US Open, countless Tier I, II, and III events, etc.

She's phenomenal.

But.

She's been sucking often lately.

I know she's got other interests, and frankly I think they makes a more well rounded invidual and sportswoman, when they have other things than the main goal to focus on, as it creates perspective when they do finally get to focus on the goal at hand.

But.

Something has to be done. She was recently knocked out of the Miami event when some thought she might go all the way (those "some" were like 4 people, but thats still a good amount, right?). and very recently, she was knocked out of the Amelia Island in straight sets to Tatiana Golovin, 6-2, 6-3.

Here's the thing, Venus is not getting any younger (she's 26 now) and while there are some great athletes playing at a high level even though they are well over the average age of a successful player, I don't know if Venus can have the same type of success she once did.

I'm hoping she does though. She's always been my favorite, I even made a website AGES ago back when they first started. See:

Anyway, I want to see Venus claim her rightful trophies eventually, it's not a coincidence that Wimbledon trophy, the tournament she envisioned winning when she was a kid, is named the Venus Rosewater dish.

I want to see her looking back like this:
