The Olympics Are Over....

During last night's Olympics Closing Ceremony, David Beckham kicked some soccer ball into the crowd signifying....signifying...something. Seriously, what was that supposed to mean? Anyway, while I watched Becks kick the ball, I felt hours and hours of entertainment also being kicked away.

When the Olympics first started I told myself that I would not get sucked in. I've seen it happen many times before and I wasn't going to let it happen to me. Well, guess what happened? It fucking became my crack. I spent days, nights and weekends watching everything from bitches jumping on trampolines to whores hitting a ball around. Sometimes I didn't even know what sport I was watching, but I just couldn't look away.

Watching hobags win never excited me. I liked watching them lose. That's where the black heart came in. When people win, they usually just jump around and scream. But when people lose, they do all sorts of things. Some bawl like an ass virgin, some kick walls and some keep it all inside. You know the latter immediately fled into the streets, searching for a kitten to choke. That's sad. Beijing is now filled with a bunch of kittens with weepy necks.

So now that the Olympics are over, what are we going to do with all this free time? Do we actually have to speak to our loved ones now? Do we have to take daily showers? Does this mean that we have to eat a meal at the dinner table? Gross. I have a bunch of events in my Tivo, so I'll just watch those over and over again. I'll never let go. Once I'm finally over it (probably within the hour), I am going to make a promise to myself to not get sucked into London 2012! The world will probably end before then, so hopefully I don't have to worry about fighting temptation.

And here's the final medal count:

United States: 36 (gold) 38 (silver) 36 (bronze) Total: 110
China: 51 (gold) 21 (silver) 28 (bronze) Total: 100
Russia: 23 (gold) 21 (silver) 28 (bronze) Total: 72
Great Britain: 19 (gold) 13 (silver) 15 (bronze) Total: 47
Australia: 14 (gold) 15 (silver) 17 (bronze) Total: 46

P.S. - I think I'm already over it. I just switched my TV to Judge David Young and it feels so good. Thanks Cheesus for trashy court shows! They are helping me to pick up the pieces. Michael Phelps who?

THANK THE ALMIGHTY CHRIST, FATHER, SON & HOLY SPIRIT! AFUCKINGMEN!!

My only issue with the medal count (and I am from the US) is that it seemed like for the team sports, the US was counting every medal... meaning, for water polo, or basketball, or team gymnastics, or syncronized diving etc... they were counting the number of medals handed out.... Oh, look, we got 6 gold medals for the 4x100 freestyle swimming relay! No.... the gold medal should only count once for a team sport. If youare on the 8 woman rowing team, the count is one medal for one race, one sport.... not 8 medals.

I love the way the US will convolute the way of counting to make us appear to be number one in everything....[eyerolling icon]

You do realise everywhere else has China on top of the medal chart.

America is the only country that counts it's Olympic ranking in terms of total medals won rather than the weight of the medal win - ie total maximum number of gold medals puts you in first place, then silver etc.

I'm Australian so we jump a place using the US system but in our hearts we know we came 6th this time.

I thought the London part of the ceremony was the best part of the Closing Ceremonies. Love the Leona Lewis/ Jimmy Page performance. Two of my favorites. Could have done without Beckham, though.
Speaking of the Vancouver games, May have to check those out. Hear it's a great city and would love to go even though the only sport I would want to see is the hockey tournament. The tickets I'm sure will be pretty impossible to get.

Why doesn't anyone televise the Special Olympics? That'd be great TV!!
--------------------------------------------------

They do in Argentina. It's not like what you want to see. But it is good that they get an opportunity as well, just because you're a retard doesn't mean you can't win a marathon.

Either way I think the word retard is misused when directed to people with a mental disability.

I'm not mentally disabled, I'm just a bit nuts and I'm kinda slow, and I would call myself a retard over them any time.

As a Brit, I was utterly embarrassed by the British effort.

The annoying tweens from the National Youth Theatre (note how we picked black, white, asian, disabled..see how MULTI CULTURAL we are?!) then the stupid cyclists then a bus - a bus that turns into a float! I know we'll stick the X Factor winner in, because people around the world know and care about Leona Lewis, then for cheep cheers we'll just get that Man ho Beckham* to....kick a ball. Mortifying.

As if that's enough that idiot Boris Johnson turns up looking like a penguin crossed with a naughty school boy, couldn't wave a damn flag and has his jacket undone throughout the whole thing. Stuck out like a sore thumb.

*Beckham does not mean sport to anyone in Britan anymore. If he cared about football he would have stayed but he chose money and fame...which is not a bad thing, it means he takes his wife with him. But seeing has he doesn't even necessarily get picked for the first England team anymore, he can hardly represent British sport.

That's all.

I didn't get David Beckham randomly kicking a ball into the crowd ... he doesn't even play soccer for a British team anymore!

He still plays for England, that's pretty British.

Karen, depending on what the IOC finds, some golds might be pulled from the 10yo gymnasts. An AP reporter found some pretty damnning evidence that those girls were way underage. The chick that tied with Nastia (which was total bullshit)is one of them, and the team medal would be pulled as well. There was def. some messed up judging in gymnastics. How in the hell can someone fall on their fucking knees on their landing still win a medal on vault when others didn't fall like Alicia Sacramone?

Croatia is my adopted team, since Poland bit it hard in Eurocup. (Since I married a Croat, I figured it was better than not cheering for anyone in WC)I like Spain as well, but solely for how pretty their team is.

****************************************************
Spain is not bad at all, and Croatia is one hell of a team, I really like it. Funny I'm not cheering for Argentina (being I'm from the infamous country) but in all honesty, they do kick Croatia's ass sometimes. I still think some day Croatia will get the cup, they deserve it.

Since Olympics began on 8-8-08, I stopped hanging out with my friends (yeah I havent seen them in 17 days. When they called me up, I told them an excuse haha), watched PrimeTime Olympics til it's over for the night. I skipped the boring ones like rowing. Now that it's over (I'm sad it is), I'm not sure what I'll do now...probably finish Breaking Dawn and Harry Potter!

Damn it I dont wanna wait 4 years. By then, I'll probably have no time because of a job. DAMNIT why 4 years?

Im looking forward to Vancouver because this time it won't be 'Previously Recorded' because I live in the same timezone. WOO HOO Finally....oh man I was so excited for Men's Basketball Final because it was actually LIVE!

I´ve never found David Beckham particularly hot (and what hotness he has dies when he opens his mouth and that voice comes out), he´s just too much of a pretty boy for me. I´d take Roy Keane, David´s former teammate from Manchester United, over him anyday. Now there´s a smoking hot alpha male...

Look at how the ENTIRE crowd is staring at him in awe & reverence LOL If I would've been there... that's how my face would have looked as well!

:-) I luv me some him!

I don't know how much French you'll be using in Vancouver (I really have no clue).
Then they can start making fun of me as well, I love figure skating.

And yeah, haha Canada is not really that far, especially if you're going to BC, it's right there.

I'm pretty far away from Canadia Land (St. Louis here), but i'm making the trip because 1) i hear Vancouver is fun; 2) i'm really into figure skating (you are free to make fun of me); 3) Canada really isn't THAT far, we're on the same continent at least; 4) i have a good friend who lives in Victoria; and 5) i want to use my rusty French-speaking skills! I think those reasons can justify the expense :)

The only downside to going to BC for the Winter Olympics is the obliged stop in Malakwa to visit my mother in law.

Im sure London 2012 will find something to show the world. It may not be as good as Chinas but we will try. Its supposed to be about the hosts culture and history, The UK has a lot, lets face it the US had an Olympics and found something to show and the US has no culture of its own and is about 5 minutes old! The problem is much of UK history is military (we did have the worlds largest empire), but you are not allowed to show military force at the Olympics.

Becks tossed the ball out so that some lucky person could sell it on ebay for $10K. I was hoping two or three people would get into a bloody fight for it, like they do at baseball games.

If you thought the Olympics was a snoozefest, tune into the Democratic Coronation this week. It's all rigged. They're even making the delegates vote before the roll call so that they can arrange the states. Hillary cannot be ahead of the Precious at any time.

They choose not to heed, so let them get fuked in November. The electoral map will be solid red. Way to lose an impossible to lose election. Thanks go out to Dean, Brazille, Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, Kerry, Dodd and the rest of the mob. Those peens sure stick together.
