Why am I so unexcited about the Olympics?

Oh yeah...because it's still sports...even though it is more of a cultural event than a sporting event it's still showing off how great you are physically...except this time it's for bragging rights on a nationwide level.  It's so masturbatory that it makes me sick.  I don't hate it but I can't help but constantly think, everything I catch a glimpse of it, about all the money being spent on just sports being rather silly.  I know I know...it's the only time the world shares itself so mutually...but NOTHING comes out of it politically or culturally.  If not nothing then it's so minimal that I don't think it's worth the expense.  People don't learn anything more about the "other" countries (excepting the country hosting the event) aside from gawking at "them" for how they display being different than "us".  It just happens, people shout, then it's over.

Say what you will (and I won't demean you if you enjoy that type of thing because too many people care too much about it) but I just do not care and you won't convince me otherwise.  Then again I'm utterly in love with film and music on an annoyingly (admit it) freaked-out obsessive level so I guess you could say that I have some nerve throwing this type of bag down.

With this entry I'm trying to break into a habit while also reacquainting myself into writing on this damn thing again.  For the most part I just miss being mentally stimulated since it takes a lot more effort to write on this than comment that "your soooo sexy and hottt" on some undeserving of such attention idiot on MySpace.  If you read my blog there after reading my entries you may be sorely disappointed that I'm merely copying and pasting my Livejournal entries.  I used to do something similar but it was the other way around.  Expect more of the same though because I'm still (mostly) the same.
