6 a.m

..should be sleeping but my mind is racing to a destination unknown.
Yet, I know that my subconscious should be on the track to the intended destination of 6 a.m.

Numerous threads to my thoughts - my mother - siblings - partner - water for my thirst - tomorrow - my future - my hopes - my dreams.

But not A Dream, which at this time of night should be the carriage taking my subconscious to the intended destination of 6 a.m...

A trouncing.

Nadal trounced Federer today at Roland Garros. But you know, it wasn't the fact that Nadal beat Federer that pissed me off. It was the fact that Federer has come to be known as a Champion of Champions. One who's ability on the court starts where everybody elses finishes. He virtually handed that championship away this afternoon. I guess it's just a reflection of real life. If you come with a defeatist attitude, you'll quite simply be defeated. It's about fighting even when you don't feel like it. Diggin deep within yourself to know what you are really made of. The success can only be achieved through the graft.
