Getting Strong Now! (video) + Serena Williams (pics)
Wow, my brother actually listened to me. Well, kinda. Watch the video below to see what I mean:
My brother made and edited that video while at work with me at 6:30am. Eh, at least he’s keeping busy.
P.S. He added a special nod to my last “ability” video towards the end. Catch it?
*****************************************************************************************************************
Serena Williams!Last night, I went to Washington D.C. to watch the Washington Kastles play, featuring Serena Williams! Billie Jean King (famous tennis player and creator of WTT tennis) was there too. I was suppose to go see it with my ex actually (she won tickets from her office), but she fell ill beforehand so she couldn’t make it. Instead, she left me some front roll tickets at will call for me to go with a friend. Thank you!
Here’s some other shots from the night (click on thumbnail to enlarge):

nice:D
that vid is hillarious! hehehe can’t believe he drank the overflow water:P yucky:P hehehe
that video was so funny! i loved your brother’s facial expressions throughout the whole vid!! lol future actor/filmmaker in the making? and awesome that you got to serena play!!
Alex, your little brother is so cute. He must keep you entertained all the time haha.
hmp. xanga won’t let me look at the video. it just says, “this a place holder for the video”
i think IE is being a dick to me tho.
looks like you had fun!
xo
Oh man, your little bro is epic. I started laughing when he started moon-pedaling. hahaha
Great pics too. Those seats are awesome.
haha, I’m SURE you guys have too much free time (=. You seem like a fun family.
Ehh to me, it’d be nice to see Serena Williams live but I’m nowhere near a fan of hers to be honest
But I loved it when she told the chair umpire to kick out the racist fan and she was like”I’m American! I will not take this!” or something like that :p
@sabbygurl - Notice how the camera pans away when he “drinks” it? Haha smart boy
@enigmatic_refuge - Oh he’s definitely an actor for sure. I always tell him he’s gonna be the boy that cries wolf in the future. No one is gonna believe him when he’s really in trouble!
@buiptammy - ”Entertained”…well, I suppose that’s one word you could use =P
@JessxMaxine - Aw really? Well figure out a way to see it because it’s pretty cool
@fLiPgUy31O - I’m not sure if he knew he was doing it wrong haha. Silly boy. Yes, those seats were quite good. I would have gotten box seats had my ex gone! Ah well, those seats weren’t bad at all.
haha, he looked like he had a lot of fun. Not sure if you did though, working on those rackets and such. Hope the game was good, never ever been to a real tennis match before
Hahaha, love the faces he makes XD.
Except he disappears this time!
I wonder if I can get my little brother to do anything like this 0:D! I kind of doubt it though
.
@mycontinuity - Can you watch youtube videos? If so, here’s a link for the YouTube version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVT0whFjtDk&feature=channel_page
@loves_mud - My brothers going on a video making craze right now, so I’m sure you’ll be seeing a lot more
@AzureRecollections - Our D.C. team won =D . Trust me, professional tennis live is such a different experience than on tv. You should go to one of those upcoming tournaments like the one in Montreal. How far’s that from you?
@Dylan_Disast3r - She’s neutral for me, but seeing her live is better than seeing some random player live for sure!
@JessxMaxine - Here’s the YouTube link for the video.
@Roadlesstaken - gotta say.. Montreal is roughly 6 hours off from me. I might as well come visit you in Maryland (: I’d be halfway there in 6 hours i think.
@Roadlesstaken - Maybe I’ll see it if I go to a PC room.
@AzureRecollections - Ah oh I see…how about Toronto? There’s a tournament held there as well.
@mycontinuity - alrighty. Hope it works out
Lol, 20minutes
wouldn’t mind checking it out if i’m done school by then!
@AzureRecollections - ah see there we go! There are some good players that go to that one.
you’re a bad manager for letting a little child running around in the gym. JK.
awww little brothers are so cute!
@iso_whiteSnow - he’s almost 14 actually, although he still looks like he’s 8 haha
@wonderland7386 - I suppose =P . You have some yourself?
lol
Your brother is adorable! The old guy was also funny. He was one of my favorite characters ^_^…You look tall on camera. just wanted to add that in. I’ve never been to a tennis match…ever. I’m kinda jealous you go to see them ^_^
@Roadlesstaken - WTF. DANG. no wonder … I was curious about his age because I remember you talked about his last-minute essay, work cited/sources problem, and procrastination. I thought that “there’s no way a 7 years old child learning to write an essay! Does his little brother attenda hardcore private school or something?”
Your kid bro should be an actor. He has a chance because in the entertainment/acting industry, it’s prefer that the entertainer’s age is younger than they look.
Your bro is hilarious!
Is that Kenny? He looks different…
And I’ve noticed you haven’t commented on my last couple of posts
lol ur brother is so funny!
I find your brother to be freakin’ hilarious!! He needs to take up acting lessons or something. Love these effin’ vids. Serena is one buff woman. Dang, wish you got a vid of her hitting bc she is sooooo intense. But, guess there is always the tv for that!
she’s a monster!
@Roadlesstaken - yes haha a 15 yold.
oi alex, I always feel like I miss a lot when I miss more than one post. but I’m glad you had a good time at the tennis thing.
and hahahaha @ that video. you and your brother kill me XD
@Roadlesstaken - hahahah. he is totally my favorite. i love the fact that the old white guy had to turn the machine on for him. lol.
xo
@strawberries_and_honey - yup yup, that’s Kenny.
WTF? For some reason, your posts haven’t been popping up in my inbox. Your pulses do apparently, but I didn’t know you updated the last two times. I shall check it out after work!
@CaKaLusa - she intimidated the other team badly; they had sooo many double faults playing her.
@HelloKitty0809 - My camera was running out of batteries, otherwise I would have made more videos for sure
@wonderland7386 - Cool, my brothers is becoming 14 next week so they’re pretty close in age, although I’m sure your brother looks a lot older than mines haha.
@indiechaos - It’s all good, as long as you’re checking them out now
@JessxMaxine - Haha exactly. That old guy is a regular in the mornings and very cool man. Hmm I should show him this video to let him know he’s on YouTube
@mypetiteness - ahhh I guess he’s a little funny
@iso_whiteSnow - He’s definitely an actor alright. Who knows, maybe a talent scout might see this video. I could be his manager!
@randaness - glad you liked it!
@RaquelHiggins005 - Yeah that old guy is one of my favorite members. Hey you should go to the Legg Mason Tennis Classic in D.C.! It starts the first week of August. I’m going at least 2 of those days.
Wow, he is like the original Rocky! Your brother and that man are awesome, just for giving him some obstacles.
If you really want to burn him out, make him do circuit training.
lol very entertaining and funny video!
@theRyeCatcher - Yeah, the wimpy version of Rocky =P . Nah he did good.
@Agent_Eric - I already told the pros teaching him at tennis camp to make sure he runs. He’s so lazy! He always figure out loopholes to get out of real work.
@n1colee - Thanks, glad you digged it
@Roadlesstaken - AWESOME! (: wonder what he’ll think of them years from now
. nothing like the freedoms of our young imaginative minds! i kind of feel like the older people get the more caged they become.
I love your brother’s videos! The first time I saw your xanga, i watched the one where u could disappear. He has a creative young mind!! How old is he? looks so young. I think usually gyms require u to be 16 yrs old lol
@i_Nutrition - Yup, our combine creative mind shall come up with some interesting videos in the near future! Haha yeah at our gym you just have to be at least 12 or older to use it.
sounds awesome
your lil bro’s so cute haha
kudos! =)
Oh man, that must have been one exciting game =O.
Haha, your brother is so animated =].
@JetaimeMing - Ah I suppose
@Mistykalady - thanks!
@xxthatsmexx - He is isn’t he? He always overexaggerates everything
I’ll have to watch the video when I’m not at work.
You had some awesome seats! I’m not a big fan of tennis, but I can totally appreciate the game and the caliber of athletes.
Cheers,
Taylor
awww…how cute hahah
Why does your friend look oddly familiar?
Haha anyway, your little bro is hilarious. “Moar than you’ll ever know!!” hahaha, pretty awesome how he knows how to edit vids at such a young age.
*thumbs up*
By the way, do they make a lot of grunting sounds when they play?
=o.
It’s what I’ve been told…
@skylar_rose - Yeah, the seats weren’t bad at all. Almost had box seats though! Ah well. Yeah, I hope you like the video when you get a chance to watch it.
@bluedreamer85 - You think Serena is cute? j/k
@sincerely_winnie - Funny how that was my old phone and I didn’t even know I had to option to edit videos like that. My friend looks oddly familiar? Hmm perhaps you saw him in my San Diego trip post (he came with me). Is that it?
@Vitamin_D - Occasionally. Certain players (aka Maria Sharapova) do it a lot more often. Serena did it more towards the end, when she was getting frustrated haha.
@Roadlesstaken - Okay, the video was awesome! Definitely a good way to start the day
Thanks for sharing it.
ahhh nice pictures
and video 
I actually JUST learned how to string a racket (out of necessity since dad moved to california haha) and I’m still having problems, my last string from the cross is always loose! whyyyyyyyyyy?!! ugh have to figure it out, but good thing I’m leaving soon so no more racket stringing for a few months hehe
@missedout_onlife - what type of stringer do you use? Is it drop weight, crank, or electric? Hmm are you making sure you clamp that last string properly?
Oh where are you going this time around?
Hahahahaha!! your brother is so cute!! i love how the old man is just laughing at him hahahhaha
SO CUTE
@noree_n - That old man is great. He comes in every morning and definitely makes the morning smoother.
hahaha your brother is such a crack-up. . . so doesn’t act like a 13 year old? is he still 13 or is he a year older now?
lmao lmao. lmao. wowwwww. yeah and i did catch that bit!
ahh sweet pics.
Your brother is cute.
@cokaholic - he’s turning 14 this week!
@ladyofthesilk - I guess…
@PiscesPhishie - thanks!
wow.. i’m so jealous. i have never been to an actual tennis game before.. (well with famous players playing lol)
and your bro is adorable! =D
@xkthily - you should try it sometimes; it’s a whole lot different in person than on tv. Man that ball moves a whole lot faster in person!
Your brother is quite the ham.
Wow – those look like great seats.
Ｉ ｗａｓ ｆｉｎａｌｌｙ ａｂｌｅ ｔｏ ｗａｔｃｈ ｙｏｕｒ ｖｉｄｅｏ！
good lord, what time is it there?!
@ElusiveWords - I had to look up the definition of ham just to double check what it means as an adjective. Yup, that pretty much sums him up perfectly haha
@mycontinuity - So, whacha think?
@PiscesPhishie - well now it’s 6:25am…why you up so late?
@Roadlesstaken - well it was 3 or 4 something when i was on, but that makes sense for me because im a night crawler. i stay up a lot. doing who knows what. anything.
@PiscesPhishie - 4am was about what time I woke up this morning haha
lol. wow. why do you wake up so early?!
i usually sleep around 5 or 6 in the summer. :/
since well, i have no life.
@PiscesPhishie - work -_- . Gotta open up the club at 6am
@Roadlesstaken - damn. you have to wake up at 4 to get up and open the club at 6??
@PiscesPhishie - haha well closer to 4:30am. I get ready, eat breakfast, and take the 15 minute commute to make it to the club by 5:45am (have to open up early to get everything ready).
@Roadlesstaken - that sounds suicidal. when do you usually get off work then?
@PiscesPhishie - usually around noon, so it’s not too long hours. Just early. I kinda like it that way.
Your bro is funny.
@leadheavy - Funny looking right? haha j/k
@Roadlesstaken - You guys look alike. haha j/k ??
@leadheavy - oh burn! Ah nah I deserve that
@Roadlesstaken - only in good fun. Thanks for the add. I take it Roadlesstaken is an allusion to R.F. poem?
@leadheavy - You would guess right! I read that poem in high school and loved it, so I’ve had this screenname ever since then.
@Roadlesstaken - simple and meaningful.
Your brother’s awesome. He’ll be a YouTube star in no time!
@wherethefishlives - Haha oh man that sure would be perfect for him.
Man, your brother is a STAR. Anytime he wants to come to Hollywood, let me know. I’ll introduce him to all the right people. He’ll take this town by storm!
@CareyGLY - haha alright I’ll hold you to that in the future!
one of my deepest sexual fantasies involves Serena Williams…I think it could be like a South park episode and I would be cartman, climbing up inside, keeping warm with a fire, roasting marshmallows and strumming the guitar…for many people it might seem like a sick fantasy overall, but to me, it is my fantasy..it would involve the hardest kiss I could throw on her, I might have to use a step ladder…but there is something about Serena Williams that just makes my junk get all tingly…yeah, what shit to share with someone randomly…you say you like psychology, consider the sexual sides of a man-woman version of David and Goliath, I got my two stones in a bag ready to throw down with my giant(that would be Serena)….I could go on, but you get the idea…for that matter, Grace Jones has the similar effect on me…but, I would take her more in her 1980′s version than presently, if she is still alive…crap it is late, I am giddy…good night dudes, people and so forth!
@JOUKKO - Haha well, I gotta say that has to be one of my more interesting comments. Thanks for sharing
Your friend is cute. Sorry I’m too tired to read through the whole thing. I browsed. Saw a cute guy. And cute guy’s friend lol. Serena Williams!!!! yay!
LOL HAHAHAHA Your brother is hilarious. Ewww I can’t believe he drank the water! hahahaha
@Got_Takoyaki - Don’t worry, he didn’t. Movei magic!
