An Ode to the Summer Olympics

I have been glued to my seat this entire weekend watching them. Although, I'm still in the prehistoric age with my rabbit eared antenna on my TV, NBC comes in kinda fuzzy, I still can't stop watching them.

These people have committed their life to their sport. Dedication, perseverance, extreme talent, and athleticism. Seeing their dreams become a reality is an amazing feeling.

I watched the medal ceremony in which Michael Phelps won the gold medal for swimming last night. You could see how proud of himself he was standing on the highest platform, with the national anthem playing. It was pure emotion. It was awesome!
So... here is to the Summer Olympics in Beijing! Go team USA!

Sidenote: These athletic men of our own swim team really makes the games more pleasurable to watch.


Ummm yeah....
Need I say more?
