No more Olympics…
Aug 25th, 2008 by dino-ray
…until the 2010 winter Olympics.
Still, I am kind of sad. What am I going to watch now? I mean, I actually watched the U.S.A. vs. Espana basketball game on Saturday night. And I NEVER watch basketball. I felt so butch and jockish.
There’s no more swimming, gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, track and field, diving….I was really getting into every sport no matter what it was. I even watched the marathon! I sat through the whole thing!
There is something so magical about the Olympics…it makes me actually like sports. I got really competitive (Did you see the women’s 4×400 relay?! That was insane!) and really excited, (remember when that Australian homeboy took the gold in platform diving?) but now that it’s over and we will no longer be drowned with the praise of Michael Phelps nor will we be subject to those fabulous Claritin clear Shannon Miller commercials…
I am still kicking myself for missing the opening ceremonies, but I did catch the closing ceremonies…but it didn’t seem as fabulous. The human torch thing was cool but then they went into this carnivale thing - that was just awkward. Plus the whole “ushering the summer Olympics into London” was kind of anti-climactic. But I do love me some Leona Lewis.
*sigh* I am sad that the Olympics are over…I’ll get over it. By the way, one of my friends said Phelps kind of looked like Screech from “Saved by the Bell” - all you need to do is put an white boy curly wig on him…I concur.
