Olympics are the Shit

I love the Olympics. There are super woot! I usually find myself watching them a ridiculous amount and never sleeping for two full weeks. The opening was neat. Fortunately we missed the first two hours being at the coach's but we did see the lighting of the torch, which is always the best, and it was cool! All those fire works in a circle and led right up to the torch, wow. I also enjoyed the indy car plug, nice donuts duder! The luge is amazing, but I particularly love Curling. It looks so hard and smart.

I'm impressed that all the guys on the American Curling team are crazy in shape, they are all hoties! Infact, as I watch on, every team has strapping men, wow. How do I get into curling?

They have really cool names, like "Skip". That's the captain essentially, guy on left. The game looks so intriguing to me. I am watching it right now actually and am really glad it's on during the evening hours. Last time they broadcasted it, it was from 3am-8am...BULL! We are currently tied with Finland going into the tenth doohickey (frame?). SOMEONE IN THE CROWD HAS WONDER WOOT CURLING HATS!!! The hat is actually a stone, but made out of fabric...holly cow awesome face! Here is a basics sheet for how to learn curling.

The U.S. won silver and gold in the half pipe last night. The guy that won is so funny looking. They call him the "Flying Tomato". The guy on the left won the silver. We are awesome at half piping.

I can't get that into curling - it just takes so long. I am quite partial to luge, it's crazy how they just lay there and they go SO FAST! I can't so much say that I have a favorite event in the winter. In the summer diving is my favorite - the really high platform kind - but I think it's harder to pick in the winter. I love the sking where they have go around all the posts, and I love to watch the snowboarding! The Flying Tomato is so cool! But then there's speed skating, which is also very impressive...how can you pick?!
I just have to watch all the time!

Curling and luge is all about brains, not braun. I like that the most. It's so intense those two sports. 90 mph on that sled is outrageous!! Figure skating though, should be outlawed...how freaking borring!!!

Hey man,

Thanks for the invite to NC, I'd love to come visit this summer. I agree with the figure skating though, I can't watch it, nothing happens! I have to say I've never watched curling though, I'll have to check it out. Turns out I get the Olympics in High Def now so I'll prob be watching that whenever I can (although it's usually one when I'm at work)
