SHALLOW GIRL ALERT! Let's open this with something pretty - yes, I even like the goatee. But OMG TATTOOS ON HIS HIPS/PELVIS.
More on Michael later.
First bit of real thoughts is this - I LOVE BOB COSTAS. Just, you know, cuz. He is awesome. And I am constantly surprised by how cool he is.
Womens Diving!!
-Nancilea is choking.It's so hard to watch her. But really do you blame her? She broke her face on the board. I cant believe shes at the olympics period. My god. I'm just not that ballsy. I've had jaw surgery. That shit's scarring - emotionally.
- They're beautiful to watch. I miss the days when they graded the gymnastics the way they grade the diving. :( Emo face tiem nao
Women's Track and Feild
-I love Track. I just dont like LONG races. I like short races so.
-10,000M? OMG. It's insane and long. I got bored. That said? GO ETHIOPIA! That's awesome. I love Shalane. Thats a crazy name. I dont even know if I spelled it right but YAY! Her mom crying over her is just....ugh. I love the Olympics. THATS RIGHT GIRL. You wear that fucking flag.
Men's Track and Field
-Shot put is already over. A Pole won, kicking some serious ass and I missed most of it. But still. One of the first golds for Poland since before ze war. Crazy awesome for him.
-Usien is pretty nuts. Both the Jamacian boys are actually. I am really actually looking forwarad to the finals.
-Something I noticed -in men's running? Almost all black guys, almost no white guys. But with womens? Almost all white chicks, almost no black chicks. I wonder why that is.
- I am routing hard and fast for Walter Dix. He's a fellow seminole and I've actually seen him around campus a couple times, like, a year ago. *is so proud we gots a Nole representin'*
Women's Swimming!
-Still rooting for Kristy Coventry in the backstroke. The girl's win brought PEACE to her entire COUNTRY. COME ON! How can you not root for that? Plus, her accent is awesome and I wanna hear their anthem. So yeah, so glad she kicked ass and won. She has won 7 of the 8 medals her country has earned EVER. EVER. That to me is strangely more impressive than Michael Phelps.
-800m is just...ick. I was on swim team for a year and for a long time my mom wanted me to actually "do it" in terms of swimming. I started FAR too late and was in a shit program plus, I was bookish, lazy, and bitchy. Seriously, unmotivated. And when I was there I hated long races. Hated them. I was a sprinter. Give me the 50/100m free any day. So I'm actually quite impressed with it. I dont know who won though because NBC ate it hard. Like, seriously, not even kidding. It's the only channel that ISNT working. So enraging.
-Men's Swimming
- Last thing's first. The interview with Bob, Michael, and Mark Spitz was one of teh cutest things I have ever seen. When Michael screwing up and talking over Mark is so freaking cute. Seriously. He was adorkable. And he seemed more excited that Spitz thought so highly of him as he did by the gold.
-SHALLOW GIRL ALERT! Michael Phelps>Ian Crocker. Crocker is all flabby looking. Where as Mike is a golden god from the neck down. (his face looked so much better back when he had hair. Grow it out kid. It'll balance out your ears)
-*comments as she watches* 100m fly. Michael.... Oh baby, the whole world is rooting for you. Well, the whole country anyway. Cavic, I have been watching. He makes me a little skitish. He's the biggest threat. Ready? GO! - go go gog go gogogogogogogogogogo oh my god gogo gogogogogogogogogo!1/100th of a SECOND. I cant even conceptualize that time. I just cant.
-Rowdy is fucking hilarious.
-Andrea Kramer is fucking atrocious. I dont like her. I just dont. Her questions irritate me. "Did you ever think you could do it?" Yes. Of course he did. Fun fact- if you dont believe, somewhere, that you can do something insurmountable? You WONT.
-SHALLOW GIRL ALERT! Micha Cavic>Michael Phelps. He is a caramel god and i want to lick hm all over. And he's got the face to back it up. Fuck, I'm weak for tall dark and gorgeous.
-The Cavic dispute makes me lol. Fuck you Serbia. Our boy earned that. Not our fault you were too lax.
-AHAHAHA, Bernard, got his ass kicked again. *snickers* its seriously only funny because he was so damn smug. Ah, Wildman-Tobriner. I still want to fuck you. Anywho. Go Filho! :D Kick his ass.
Commericals that moved me tonight?
The United Airlines commerical, where the girl takes out her heart and hands it to the man and goes and does her professional thing and he's there, with her heart, when she gets back. Yeah. LOVE.
