Olympics, here we go...

     I have always been a fan of what the Olympics stands for. Competition on the global stage is great for society. It builds patriotism for your country and you get to know a little bit about other countries. Even people that don't generally care for or watch sports tend to gather with family and friends in front of their TV's to cheer on their favorite countries.

     For some reason this year, I'm not as excited. In the 2008 Beijing games, the story lines seemed to be much more compelling. The ReDeem Team, Michael Phelps quest for 8 gold, or Usain's rise were all my personal favorites. I just don't see the excitement this year. I wish I could get into it but as of right now it's just not happening. Also I'd like to see London top Beijing's opening ceremony. Either way, I hope it's a huge success and we use it as a stress reliever from the many problems facing our world today.   

An outlet for my rants

     I have never considered myself an accomplished writer or speaker. But what I do know is sports. It has been the major determining factor in more than 70% of my life's decisions. Every now and then I hear a sports story that urks me. I end up just yelling at the TV or computer and it does my opinions no justice. I'm pretty much going to use this blog as a way of expressing my thoughts about a lot of different sport stories, with a few movie reviews here and there. If you find any grammatical errors, feel free to suck my balls. Hahaha! But seriously, I don't care. Hopefully I can get some feedback on the topics at hand and maybe get into some friendly bickering. I'll try my best not to disrespect you and if I do, I usually will recognize it and apologize.
