olympic edition

I really need for my doctor to stop prescribing me the crazy pills I clearly keep taking. And here’s why… These Olympics have been really good. What is really driving me bonkers right now is the silver and bronze medal. Everyone who is there is an Olympian. Just to make the team, whatever team, is a feat in and of itself. Most people let alone athletes can’t even say they are or were an Olympian. So why in the heck are we tripping… or I should say the commentators tripping when someone comes in second or third. SERIOUSLY?!?! Last night I watched the little girl on the vault. #2 is not what she wanted, but dammit #2 aint bad!! She fell and she was so GOOD that she STILL came in second. The little Dominican girl fell too, but she didn’t even place. And don’t even get me started on Michael Phelps coming in #2 and #4 that one time. And the dude on the men’s gymnastics team came in third. The USA men’s team did not do all that great, so they were a little more happy about his bronze medal.

I found myself watching fencing for longer than I care to admit and not really knowing what the hell was going on. I did catch on though, so if both players hit at the same time that is considered a ‘double tap’. And the USA was ahead so much that it was ok that the double tapped a few times. I felt bad for the Korean fencer who sat there while they reviewed the tape (I guess) and she was contesting the ruling. Basically if she left the court (or stage maybe?) she would have conceded. So she sat for like an hour and a half waiting. Now here again this was for the gold, but sweetie… SILVER aint bad!!

Onto track a field. Some random dude on FB said he didn’t really want to see the men’s ‘junk’ when they run and that they should have a better uniforms. I like the ‘JUNK’!! And all the muscles. Last night that little boy from Jamaica…WHEW LAWD!! Yohan what they call him! He was the cutiest patootiest!! Now he could stand to get some adult orthodontia but other that that ***THUMBS WAY UP***Even the dude from South Africa with no legs… who I didn’t even realize didn’t have any legs until they focused on them prosthetics, he was a cutie too!! They flashed the dude from USA, all smiles my way!!

I don’t know why, maybe in some parallel universe but I think I can be an Olympian. What sport I have NO GOOD CLUE!! For a while I though maybe softball, but those chicks are serious!! You don’t just walk off the street and start throwing a ball. It would have to be some off the wall event that no other American exceeds like…. HANDBALL!!! I am looking at my app for the Olympics and there is no American team. I have no idea what it is but I’ma start training for it!! Now see I could had said badminton or table tennis, but the Asian got that on LOCK!! Hole up… are those 2 things the same thing?!? Oh my bad the Canadians… wait a second their players have Asian names. OK as pc as I try to be… CLEARLY I am not doing a good job right now, so I’m gonna move on. (LOL). FYI… cause I just googled it, badmiton and table tennis are 2 separate sports!! Now I gotta go google handball… ok it’s kinda like soccer and basketball. Yep I’m starting me a team!! Oh wait, hole up THERE IS A Team USA handball team. I’m gonna go get on it!! Cause I’m sure it’s just that easy!! IJS
