CAMELOT FANTASIES

Hey herc, look what I did with one of Andy's pictures just now. Can you see it? If you click on it then you will be able to see the bigger version of it.

most excellent emma.

cool stuff indeed.



speaking of andy, I continue to meet a lot of andy fans on twitter. now I have 143 followers.

my goal is 1000+ and then I will shoot for 2000 followers.

we are going to ride the social media for Camelot. once they get to know me a little better, I can start asking them to take a look at Camelot.

Did you know, ever since I left Murray's World (after the 1st week of Wimbledon), Andy has yet to win a title. On top of that, he had a surgery and was out of play for nearly 4 months.

The main reason I joined MW back in November 2011 was because, I wasn't feeling comfortable at T4U as I was forced to talk about only Federer and Nadal most of the time as they had only fans of those two. And to some extent Nole as he was doing very well in that timeframe, so I wasn't able to connect to Andy or talk about him as other fans wouldn't be interested in that discussion. I needed to stay highly focused on Andy and Andy alone. That's when I decided to join MW and it paid off as Andy went to win USO, the Olympics and then Wimbledon within a year and half since I joined MW.

But then I had to leave as a few posters had nothing better to do all day and would just chitchat and go after people they didn't agree or didn't want to agree with. For the most part, purely out of jealousy and hatred.

Anyway, long story short (or is it?), I wasn't able to concentrate on Andy since then on once again. Part of me feels a bit reluctant because of what happened at MW and part of me is not as engaged since Andy doesn't have anyone here other than myself. Besides, a fan forum is very different than, say, a general forum. The former cuts down at least 90% of the negativity that one would encounter on general forums when it comes to marches. For example, when Andy was supposed to play Federer in the qtr at the AO, both masterclass and britbox very proudly announced a thorough beating of Andy by Federer. If I were at MW, then that would have never happened as most Andy fans focus on a win rather than a thorough beating. Whether he's injured or not; whether he has recovered or not is totally irrelevant. I like that kind of positivity because I believe we are all connected and on a  higher conscious level, we are able to relay that positive message to the player we like and that can override all odds. The fact is, Andy had a back problem for more than two years, and yet despite all that, he was able to win 3 big titles. So that, IMO, is a complete downside of being on a forum that's not a fan forum. It is especially bad when you consider how both Federer and Nadal fans tend to rule any general forum and that does not allow you to talk about your player as much, since it's all about them anyway. If there's any Murray related thread, they tend to be mostly negative. 

So that doesn't give me much hope when it comes to Andy because I have to put up with some negative thoughts about Andy - even if they are only being 'realistic'. All probable outcomes can be changed if one stays focus and stays in a more positive environment is what I know.
