Well its been a while. Where do I start??

Toyota Recall: Everyone knows now about the recall and possibly other one. Its been huge and kept me busy. A lot of people have asked my opinion. Here is my opinion to be very frank.

Toyota is a good company. Maybe one of the best. But like all good companies who put too much focus on growth, they forget the things that made them great. Toyota has cut corners. Their quality has gone down and they are NOT the safest car on the road. I don`t think Toyota is any better than the top 3 or 4 automakers out there now. Out of the top 4 I would think they are 4 on safety. I am not bashing the company. I am just giving my opinion. I drive a Toyota here in Japan. But if I was in America, I would not. There are many other companies that offer more car for less money with the same quality and better safety ratings. Toyota is now over rated. I don`t see them as the golden company they used to be. The companies culture needs to change along with the boring cars they make. Thats my opinion.

Now to tennis..... wow.. I was dissapointed in the Aussie open. I didn`t want Serina or Federer to win. But they did. I was really hoping Andy Roddick would win. I felt so bad for him last year at Wimbledon. I really wanted him. As for the women... I really wanted Henin to win. I like her and she is so strong. But she had a terrible game. Still she is just coming back so I hope she continues to get stronger. I want some new champions.

Last is football. Today in America was the Superbowl. The biggest sporting event in the United States. The game is good and the TV commercials are too. Because its such a big event, companies spend a lot of money on commercials. The TV commercials become part of the whole game. Many people watch the game just for the commercials. There were a lot of good commercials this year but one of my favorites was a simple one from Google.

I attached it at the right. Check it out.

Well thats it for now. My job is so busy right now I can`t believe it. But I guess its better than having no job. I have had no time for tennis. Last week I was traveling everyday. This week I still have a hangover from last week. So maybe by this weekend I will be back to normal. Whats normal anyway?????
