yay! beijing olympics!
beijing is hosting the 2008 summer olympic games, and if you didn't know that you need to wake up, crawl out from under your rock and tune in! team usa has some great players over there representing. team china dominated men's gymnastics and i, for one, am happy for them. they worked hard and they got what they worked for. in a lovely turn of unfortunate event team usa let the world know that down DOES NOT mean out as the held on tight to the bronze metal. solid and sometimes surprising performances by the team of complete new comers were awe inspiring. perhaps the v.i.p. player and the real fairy tale this year is jonathan horton (below, third from the front.) all of the guys rocked it, but horton seemed to really embody the spirit and the drive, he was there every time he took the stage and he stuck each performance with a perfection that only the chinese seemed capable of! his was not the only break out performance, as truly this was a
metal the entire team won, but his was the most amazingly consistent! (not to mention that little houston hottie is the cutest thing, huh?)
there isn't much to say about the usa and swimming other than michael phelps and DID YOU SEE THAT RELAY RACE? okay, i don't even want to blog about this, it's been blogged by people far better and more informed than me. also, the usa girls picked up gold, silver and bronze in fencing and while i don't know much about fencing that seems pretty cool. while we are talking about severe domination lets talk volleyball. that's right i am bringing it: misty may-treanor (below, brunette) and kerri walsh (below, blond.) they are AMAZING and if you are not currently following the, check the effin' schedule and tune it! DO IT!
finally i leave you with this statement: we have some great people over there doing great things, tune in and take pride!
(oh, you better believe me, i am in love! i ADORE them. i am buying a key chain as we speak! i am buying two in fact, so i can make one into a necklace. i want the plush dolls also!) kisses!
