I have cheek dimples

I'm a bit sleepy already but I'm afraid when I close my notebook and lay my head on the pillow I'll start thinking about the things I don't want to think about, so I keep myself busy reading stuff.

Unfortunately, that championship would have no value if not approved by CBF. Ultimately there can only be legit national championships that way. Otherwise I could organize some local championship at my neighbourhood and call the victors "brazilian champions". At first that championship was organized by the teams taking part in the tournament, but it needed to be approved by CBF or it wouldn't "count". In addition, it wouldn't be fair to arbitrarily not cross both yellow and green groups champions and runner-ups. Some claim the other group was "second division" but that can't be right because both 2nd and 4th place of the previous brazilian championship were in that group. Were they relegated for no reason at all? All in all, that championship was a mess and I don't really care who won it.

What I think about it is that it was a fucking mess. Formally, it should be Sport. But I very much doubt they would beat Flamengo, had they played each other. Still, how can you claim to be the champion of some tournament you have not abided by the rules?

It weirder because - ok, let's say she's a girl and she's a football fan. That is unusual. However, if she was to support some football team, it would be safer to assume she would do so for a local one. But no, not only she's a football fan, she's brazilian, she supports Chelsea and she has taken the trouble to look for some forum to discuss about the team. Now that doesn't feel ordinary at all for me. And I say this as a compliment. Also no offense taken, I'm used to the bambi thing already.

I meant this isn't the surprising facts thread I don't know, something just seemed off. I mean, a female football fan is a bit unusual. But if she's brazilian and she's a Chelsea fan it's even more odd. Also your english was way too good. But I've been convinced a long while ago. The rainy website? I've used it once or twice, my brother is the who would use it regularly to sleep.

I don't have anything to do therefore I can afford to sleep late. I know this isn't the surprising facts but did you know I thought you were some fake profile at the beginning? HAHAHA.

Are you really going? If so, good night! On the bright side, at least your suffering was brief

To be honest I had not noticed I was hungry until I saw you speaking of pork ribs I guess there's more than one pic there. I know there's one I had my eyes closed, but I know for sure Rmpr has shown the one I'm with some random fat guy leaving the Irish Pub where we were as well.

HAHAHAHA. Well I kinda am all that. But I don't usually let it show. And I do a lot of unintentional shit as well. I always try to do things right, I'm just not good at it. And yeah, I think I kinda look like Oscar, and there's a friend of mine who always tells me I look like a teddy bear or panda bear, because I have white skin and really dark eyes and hair. I'm sleepless for reasons I'd not like to discuss right now. However what you said just made me hungry Now I'm going to suffer for sure.

Well, like I said, matter of taste. But trying to further explain my point - what I disagreed about the Barcelona comparison is that I just feel tiki-taka is more about how every player interacts with each other (the passing, movement and pressing to recover possession), while comparing two tennis players is more about who is the most skilled or most complete player in a general sense (not only one against another). The other point - peak ages can vary between players for both physical and mental reasons, so it's really hard to assess that, I agree. But I believe tennis relies greatly on physicality, more so than in most other sports. And that's the reason why tennis players usually peak a lot younger than in other sports and that's why when they decline, they usually decline HARD. Also the peak age for muscular/physical purposes is usually around 24-25. But yes, it would be really hard to measure how much Nadal would lose in mentality due to being young vs. how much Federer would lose in muscles for being older, so agree to disagree

Sorry for going off-topic here, but where have you been, dude? I've missed you.

I wasn't arguing about taste. Your favourite player could be the worst tennis player in the world for all I care. It's just that I got the impression the three of you were saying Nadal was better than Federer. One said Nadal > Federer, which speaks by itself. I was under the impression blue-in-me-veins implied the same, even though he used favourite player somewhere. You said Nadal owns Federer, I have understood that as if he was the better player which I don't think it is true. If you were talking about their head-ons, when facing each other, then it is all right. It is objectively true. So, let's see. I think it is general consensus that a tennis player peak is around age 23-25. For Federer that was 2004-2006 or something like that. After that age most tennis players start getting slower and declining on performances. What I'm trying to say is that when Nadal started playing some top-notch tennis, Federer was already beginning to decline. And don't get me wrong, I think Nadal is a hell of a player - and when two players of this magnitude collide, even the smallest of details can destroy the balance. The fact that Nadal's playstyle is hard for Federer to cope with and that the latter was outclassed physically for pretty much their whole rivalry sure have had some influence in their matches. I guess if Nadal didn't have some knee injuries he would have destroyed Federer even more. I'll give it to Nadal that I thought he would have declined a whole lot more by now due to his reliance on the physical side of the game, however he has proved he's truly one of the greatest players ever. But overall I think Federer was better, he was amazing in pretty much every court and against pretty much everyone except Nadal. His stats are overall better. Euhm... I don't agree with the comparison to Spain/Barcelona, first because I think that is related more to tactics than skill. Second because comparing the playstyle of a whole team, a whole organism of people vs. a single person playing another sport is going a bit too far and what makes it boring is it deprives the opposing team from playing, which can't be replicated in any tennis match. The rest lays in matter of taste, I suppose. I, for one, had more jaw-dropping moments watching Federer playing than Nadal. I also feel Federer was somewhat more ambitious in his plays, he would try doing something different or unexpected more often than Nadal, and that's what I expect from a genius.

Nah but in all seriouness i don't get how people can say other wise (to the nadal v federer). Nadal is a monster when healthy, and when you make a guy cry in a grand slam final (like he made him at Wimbeldon), it goes to show he has owned federer not only skillfully but also mentally. That Wimbledon win made it 4 straight finals in Grand Slams/Tournaments he had beaten him in, ending his reign as tennis god. Will always love him for that, simply my favorite tennis player. The fact that Federer could still win or give Nadal a hard time when Nadal was at his physical peak and Federer declining on his physical peak speaks by itself. Also, there's something about Federer playstyle that just screams he is the better player. He just looks so naturally gifted while Nadal seems to rely a lot more on his physical attributes. It's kinda like if you compare CR7's tricks to Ronaldinho's. Ronaldinho looks like he doesn't even have to try, CR7, on the other hand, despite doing insane and amazing tricks, you can just tell it feels kinda mechanical, achieved with a lot of hard work and training. It's hard to explain but once I've seen a guy saying that Nadal was like an exceptionally trained pianist, that could play Chopin's toughest and hardest compositions even faster and more accurately than Chopin, but, well, Federer is Chopin himself so...

I like those kind of jackets

Pics or didn't happen. Anyways, how did you find out she only sees you as a friend? Tell us your story so we can analyze the odds of turning the tables on your favour.

@Stingray, I forgot to mention but Ghent University got beaten by mine on a competition promoted by Inter-American Court of Human Rights

I wouldn't call it meaningless and vain. It just needs more organization and focus. It grew too big and chaotic. Leaderships must appear and focal points must be demanded. Like those 5 points people are sharing on facebook (PEC 37 etc). Actually I am not sure what should be done right now. Sometimes I think we should just invade Brasilia and kill everybody.

An old "friend" of yours you say...

I wonder if that is the subconscious reason. I don't know, but I don't think so

What guy doesn't dream of owning his own pub?

WOW, now she's challenging you in your own field of expertise - gifs and memes

Women with ponytails are so sexy

I don't like one-night stands either. But I've been lucky I guess, most girls I've dated matched my description. What gets me is why the ponytail thing? I don't know why I love them. Another interesting fact: I HATE talking on the phone. It feels so unnatural and... I don't know, it just doesn't feel right and I don't like it.

I'm a bit leftist as well. We can't be friends anymore 1. I have a thing for light eyes, especially green eyes. I love green eyes. 2. I love girls with ponytails. 3. I love girls with light brown hair. 4. I usually fall for short girls. Never taller than 1,65m. 5. I usually fall for girls who look sweet but are really mean/evil underneath, hahaha. If a girl meets these criteria and is pretty I can guarantee I'll develop a crush on her if she's nice and playful with me.
