Today had FREESTYLE DRESSAGE and as much as I appreciate the rtaining it takes to get horses to do those things in time to music. It's kinda lost on me.
Team and Individual ladies Rhythmic Dancing stuff is going on the TV and I really do wonder if it is anything more than pretty girls playing with balls and hoops and looking pretty.
Decathlon continues. My kind of Track and Field. I want to look like that one guy form the SA who is 6'6" and 210 lbs and no fat.
In Track, a runner just did a nerd-like spaz-out and fell over another runner so there will be 9 lanes in the 4x100 relay to include Oscar Pistorius. What a strange occurrence.
Women's Greco Roman wrestling doesn't thrill me. Likewise Women's boxing.
I will cheer for the USA Women's Soccer Team, and the Women's B-Ball team.
YAY for Title 9.
I guess this weekend will bring this all to an end.

The PENTATHLON is a competition with a sport for everyone to enjoy.
Lots of schizophrenic fun...

It's all over today. I won't watch the LIVE, online streaming of the closing. I have more respect for my eyes and ears. I'll watch the tape delay tonight...
USA Men's team won the gold in B-Ball.
USA Women's team won a gold in B-Ball.
Last night Bodia won a gold in the platform diving. First since Louganis.
And some pretty girls did pretty things with hoops, ribbons, and balls (not mine)...

Watching the closing show now, kinda cool very Brit.
For the first time we sent more women to the Olympics then men, and they won more gold metals.
Go Girls.

He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security.
Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays instead of serving you if he sacrifices it to your opinion.

FATBOY SLIM is definitely for the young ones there.
Why was he standing on an octopus?
There's lots and lots of music history that comes out of Britain.

You know the opening and closing were so British, I loved every minute of it.
Best show on TV in months.

Thank God it's over.
Fun fact: Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb, the anus forms before any other opening. Which basically means at one point you were nothing but an asshole. Some people never develop beyond this stage!
And just in time too, now its POLITICAL SEASON, then Halloween where the winners of the election will ware face masks of the looser's carry bags out for some shit candy that is later throw in the trash followed by Thanksgiving where we are thankful for the meager meal we can no longer afford, followed by stupid season er Christmas season where we go into debt to buy shit we will give away to family and friends shit they don't want and would have much preferred to just call the whole damn thing off.
Finally we sit around thankful that we made it through another year getting drunk in celebration and in inebriation making promises we wont keep and start the madness again.
WE ARE SHEEP.
