Black Tennis Pros

I am always so happy to give people what they deserve, be it praise or a little nudge to let them know that their shoe belongs on their foot and not in their mouth. Today Justin Gimelstob decided that he would like to chew on a little leather.

Gimelstob was commentating along with Chanda Rubin and Barry Tompkins at the Pacific Life Open in Indian Wells, California. Each of the three was legitimately discussing the very poor play of American Ahsha Rolle and attempting to asses what could be wrong.

Well, Gimelstob wondered if her problem could be emotional because, as he assumes, that does occur in the women's game. Rubin stated that there are emotional issues with the men too.

The very Goofy Justin Gimelstob says , "are we talking about the men that you date?" (not an exact quote, but very close.) Rubin very professionally and succinctly said, "don't get personal."

*drum roll please* For bringing up a subject, and then attempting to take a nasty jab at Chanda Rubin who kept everything above board and did not tell Gimelstob to kiss her behind as I would have, Black Tennis Pro's awards Justin Gimelstob the Goofy Commentator award that he so richly deserves.

I've come to know some very kind people since I began blogging. But definitely among the top is Lisa C at Lisa C Writes. She is definitely someone who should have received this award. She chose to award it to me and it has truly made my day. Thank you Lisa C!

This award was originally created by Cristy over at Writer's Reviews. She created this award with these words in mind, The Thoughtful Blogger Award: "For those who answer blog comments, emails, and make their visitors feel at home on their blogs. For the people who take others feelings into consideration before speaking out and who are kind and courteous. Also for all of those bloggers who spend so much of their time helping others bloggers design, improve, and fix their sites. This award is for those generous bloggers who think of others".

I've recently met some very thoughtful bloggers, they are:

Renny at RennyBA's Terella
Manchild at When Least Expected
Parisukat at Parisukat.com
Celena at Strictly Fab Style
AJ at Over Analyze It - Let's Break This Down

Once again a fellow blogger has looked upon this blog, hence me, and deemed it worthy of praise. For that honour I am so very grateful. And I owe those thanks to Poetess, author of "A Day In The Life Of A Sista."

I personally enjoy visiting blogs of others who I consider to be like minded, those who like to look on the upside of things, even when it's hard to find. You know, "the flesh may be weak but the spirit is willing" type of blogger -- people who breathe the air of good will. Well Poetess is just such a blogger and that has always been enough for me. For her to honour me with this nomination is truly rewarding. Stop by her blog sometimes, you'll see what I mean.

Many blessings Poetess!

Wow, another award! Blog of The Day Awards has selected Black Tennis Pro's as Blog of the Day and I truly appreciate it. This award is bestowed based upon a nomination, so whomever it was that deemed Black Tennis Pro's worthy of the nomination, thank you too.
