(no subject)
I am so very very sad the Olympics are almost over. They have been wonderful this time around. The only thing I want more of is Marion Jones. But tonight is gonna be a big night for her, with the relay and long jump finals. I get to see her 3000-watt smile all night. :-D I'm gonna go over to Dee's and watch it. She has hardwood floors, so when I start to drool it'll be easy to clean up.
Watched the gold medal soccer game yesterday. Goddamn that was great. Two years ago, Jezzie and I went to see them play at Safeco Field. They are the shiznit, and it was so very great to see Chastain, Foudy, Hamm, Lily and Fawcett go out on a high note. Wambach said in an interview that the younger players felt great about helping to send the older ones off in glory. Can you imagine playing with the same women for half your life? The thought gets me verklempt. As did the medal ceremony where they were all singing the national anthem off key and smiling. Ah, more for my Olympic memory book.....
I had on NBC and at 10, Dr. Phil's show came on instead of the Olympics. When the hell did that stupid fucker get a show? This country is so sad sometimes.
There's a situation right now where I'd love y'all's opinion if ya have time. Lemme break it down: this girl and I (she is a lil younger) have had an attraction to each other for months. We went out once in May, and after that, we were gonna go out again two or three more times, but she'd cancel on me. Whatevah. She was seeing some other girl then for a minute, and I was off doin my own thing. They break up. I see said girl at the gym earlier this month. She is friendly. Wants to go to a Storm game. It's obvious there's still an attraction there. And in fact, I think it was the strength of the attraction that kept her away in the first place, as opposed to not being turned on by me, etc. So I visit her at work, I call her a couple times. She is not real responsive.
I remember being younger and being scared at intense attractions, and then going into the push-away mode. This girl and I are much alike, and I think that's what she's doing. Here's my question: should I let her go or keep pursuing it? There are pros and cons to both, so I wanna know other people's opinions. Right now I'm coolin and not doin a thing. I'm in a space where I'm great if it does happen but not devastated if it doesn't. (My Zen is coming along well). So drop a thought on me if you can.
I watch TV every four years during the Olympics, so this has been the first time I've seen the "I'm ____ and I approve of this message" political commercials. What is that all about, anyway. The thing that gets me is that they are saying jack shit in the ads. You see the ad and when it's over you're scratchin your head goin, what the fuck was the point? What are they saying? It's such bullshit. Thank god the TV is going off again for another four years after Sunday's closing ceremonies. Election season looms, though. Ugh.
Was reading my "Walking in This World" book the other day and she had a great exercise to do. Number a paper 1-50 and name 50 things that piss you off. (she used the word anger, but you know.....) She said "be as petty as possible." :) I wasn't in an angry space at the time, so didn't do much with it, but now I think I'm in the mood.
