The Hermosa Open The AVP
This week has been a real turd in politics. There is simply nothing going on. I don't want even THINK about John Roberts.
SO WE ARE TAKING A BREAK!
This weekend is the GREATEST SPORTS WEEKEND of the YEAR!
It's the HERMOSA OPEN FOR THE AVP!!!!
A lot of so called intellectuals forget why they became intellectuals..
It was for the competition.
Will the crack upstarts of ELAINE YOUNGS AND RACHEL WACHOLDER once again steal the crown from Kerri Walsh and the Misty May? Kerri claims she played poorly in Ohio, or was it the EY and Rachel are just "that good?"
Will the Linquidst sisters finally get that final four bid they have always deserved?
Will Angie Ackers and Holly McPeak kick ass-tribution on Rachel and Elaine?
Perhaps Nancy Mason will get on a roll...
They all rule...
But I digress,
My deepest thought is that two people slugging is what inspires me and effects my everyday life. The AVP has always represented to me that one of the most important things at stake are bragging rights.
Like other Olympians, a few of the AVP star athletes make a living off of it. Most of them are teachers and cocktail waitresses (despite their USC, Stanford and CAL degress) during the week (note: I didn't say "the off season")
In the AVP I see tenacity,
I see spirit,
I see teammates slapping hands when they lose a point.
I see teammates encouraging each other.
I see teammates giving it a shot regardless that May/ Walsh dominate the sport.
I see handshakes after the game (ya'know, like in little league)
I see comrades; Uber Alles.
I see respect.
I see a team.
It's not that they look hot in their uniforms...(I mean.. they do.. all of them...but I can find something beautiful about any woman)
What is truly sexy is their spirit.
Spirit is sexy.
Believing is sexy.
Giving Someone a HI-Five and a slap on the butt after a messup... it's sexy.
I see everything that sports (and for that matter.. "life") is supposed to be about in the AVP.
I crave to be inspired.
The AVP can do that, the White House can’t.

You can watch the AVP on Saturday or Sunday at 1:00 on NBC.
Or better yet, just come down to Hermosa…
