2008 Olympics

It's that time again. The Olympics are here. I tell you, I don't know how anyone cannot love the Olympics. It's just such a beautiful event when all that matters is peace, unity, winning, countries coming together, strangers becoming friends and well winning!

What I really love is that its the time when we get to see all those obscure sports that no one ever talks about except on an Olympic year. I love the talk that has been going on about this year's men's basketball team. All the talk about how they are going to win it all this year. No embarrassments like last time. You know what I have to say about that? WHO CARES!!!

Why would anyone give a damn about basketball when we have sports like swimming, gymnastics, track and field, volleyball and water polo. That's right Kobe I said gymnastics is more important than your sport. I mean come on people, this is when it really matters. This is a representation to the whole world. Who didn't cry in 96' when Kerri Strug landed that vault. I know I did.

I personally can't wait to watch gymnastics. I think we have a good chance this year. I can't wait to see Michael Phelps destroy every record again. I can't wait to watch Tyson Gay sprint to victory. Hell, I even watched a Cuba vs Norway volleyball match today just because it was on.

I love the Olympics!!!!! More to come!
