Andy Murray Stunned: Rafael Nadal Regains No. 2
09/08/2009
Researcher in Post-ontological Epistemology, 2nd Order Cybernetics, Post-Marxist Politics, and Post-humanist literature.
------------------------
Equally, I am a tennis enthusiast. My favorite players are usually aggressive, flat hard hitters, and fast pace, long rhythmic baseliners.
-------------------------------
I coined my pen name Xeno-philous to reflect my character.
Xenophilous is opposite of xenophobe. It is one who likes everything foreign, one that is not native, peoples, manners, cultures, foods, music, etc. In the context of sports, I try to like players that I do not like or did not like in the past. One of my every day goals in life is to try to find a way to like something I don’t/ didn’t like.
The hyphenation in the name is used as precaution that I may not be able to always live up to the promise that the name suggests.
------------------------------
I am excited about Sports and STEM (=Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), a recently initiated section of Bleacher Report , where scientists, scholars, and philosophers can reflect on sports.
------------------------
My goal at the Bleacher Report is not to rise in the ranking or to Analyst, Columnist, etc. So, don't get scared, fellow tennis writers. And B/R, you can exclude me from all ranking systems, please.
I have a moderate goal of maintaining Average Reads of 2,000+ (my current average stands at 2,100, excluding my Babe article's 38, 000+ Reads), and eventually I hope to reach 3,000 Reads per article. Including the Babe article, the average read has been 4400.
I have received 75 comments per article in average, but in the last six articles, the average has been 129. I have averaged 9 Likes per article, and in the last 6 six articles, the average is 16+.
These numbers inspire me to do better.
Currently, I've been focusing more on content than on ornamenting my prose style. Hopefully, one day, I will learn to achieve the balance.

~~Something came up suddenly and I will be on a long leave (2-3 months) after US Open final, starting 14th of Sept. Promise to return to B/R in full swing. Last month was wonderful with my 1/2 time.
Imagine my full time?

My Special Thank You to everyone Who voted for my first AOTD, those who commented on, read, also those who read only the title, and those who entirely missed it: "Drawing Roger Federer's Blood."
Thanks again for your support. It was special to me.

BIG congratulations, Xeno, on AOTD! That's pretty rare to do, on your second day of publication, especially when you had so many pick voets the day before! You certainly had a worthy article, my man.
