I love the olympics...ok I know that seems like a pretty basic statement. But they seem really be a time when the world comes together, for once everyone seems to be on the same page. Like with hockey, I am convinced that every Canadian was watching it tonight.....or close to it. Proof of this being at work the resturant was dead, but in the bar where the tv was everything was bumping, beer was flowing and people werre cheering. Except for the people on the slots, then continued with thier usually routine, I doubt a visit for team canada dancing in front of them naked wearing only a tea cosy could have gotten them to look up.
It is just cool to think that at the same moment so many other people are doing the exact same thing as you are. Well I think it is cool anyway, probably because I have a hard time finding someone who even watches the same tv shows as me( I know lost has loads of fans but where are they all???)
So YAY a gold in hockey. I have never watched a big game like this in a bar or anything....yeah I was working....and yeah I only got to watch the final minutes of it but it was still a pretty exiciting atmostphere. High fives all around...not literally, who high fives anymore really? But I am pretty sure I saw a few grown men hug...or almost hug. I finally get the hype of watching games in bars. not I just have to wait till the next winter olympics and hopfully this time I will be on the other side of the bar.
And sid the kid got the winning goal........guess he is not going home alone tonight.
awesome,
canada,
win,
