So I know it has been FOREVER since I last updated this and I had all sorts of ideas of what to write about and now the Olympics are here and that is really distracting.
I could complain about the Olympics and the frustrations I have about the way they broadcast them but I think it would be better to just focus on the things that I am loving about these games.
1. The athletes without a country marching in the Parade of Nations actually looked like they were enjoying themselves. They were dancing and just generally having fun unlike a lot of the other athletes who looked too serious to enjoy themselves. Yes, it's an international competition but sports are also supposed to be fun.
2. The pictures I get from the stands of some of the events from my British friends who are actually there. It's cool, but I am jealous.
3. We get to hear about athletes from around the world that might go unheard of by the general population otherwise.
4. I record the events I want to see so I can skip all the silly commercials and commentary.
5. When John Orozco got off the floor, you heard Horton comment to him that he was now done with his first day at the Olympics as if he was trying to make it seem like it was no big deal. If I could work with an Olympic team, it would be a tie between swimming and men's gymnastics since both are very entertaining. Have you seen the video of the swim team?
I am almost ready for bed since I just want to watch a few more events and then go to bed since I have to be in the pool for a long time tomorrow!
