heh.
If I'm not interested in watching 6 or 7 months from now, I won't be interested it watching over the course of the next 3-4 or however many weeks.


Maybe the track stuff I'll watch if it's on.
But the only things I'll look out for are the basketball and football competitions.

I love the opening ceremony stuff, but I'm so scared for what they'll do when it's here.

It'll all be Indian dancing, Indian this, Indian that. That's fine and dandy, but there's a lot more to Vancouver than the fact natives used to live here. The logo for the Canucks is a Native-art styled Orca. When we had the Grizzlies, the edges of the jerseys were covered in Native art rabble.


I mean, I'm sure what they do in Vancouver will undoubtedly be cool, but I think it will be ultimately super tacky to everyone not in Vancouver.

You know what, I would love to see 500 people dressed as Quakers give 500 indians HBC blankets covered with diseases and have cool, perforated, red lighting go over the Indians and shit.

Hahaha.
That would be pretty hilarious actually.
I just know it'll be bombarded with people dressed up as Ravens and Orcas running around a stage doing some fake pseudo-symbolic gesture of the meaning of life and how we all have a little Raven and Orca inside of us all.

PS. I am back.
PPS. I have nothing but free time.

The opening was the best of the olympics ever. Might have been even bether if Spielberg accepted to direct it, but I guess his reasons were right to refuse.
It set e new bar that now the next hosts will have to guide buy, and there is a problem. I don't know if they'll trow so much money and man power as a comunist country can.

Anyways, 1st day over, and Romania got 1st Gold medal
Too many channels to watch though to keep on the interesting stuff.

I feel sorry for the enduro athletes who have to fuck their lungs up.
Phelps already has a gold....8 would be cool. Canada's supposed to have a revamped swim program that is supposed to produce atleast a few medals. would be nice I guess
What are they going to do with all those nice blokes on Hastings once 2010 rolls around? same thing they did with kelowna's? move them a few streets over...

I watched a great badminton match between Anna Rice (Canada’s top female badminton player) and Eva Green (some US player). And it was great. They were neck-in-neck the entire time but in the end, Anna came through and defeated Eva. I was cheering for Anna the entire time.

And then the next day I watched the beach volleyball match between the U.S. and Latvia. The U.S. team with Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser were the world champions and ranked #1. Then Latvia, rank at 21 of 24, defeated them. It was pretty amazing. But the U.S. guys were very angry.

“The Americans? We’re going to smash them. That’s what we came here for,” Bernard said.

Oh Bernard, you silly Frenchman. Don't you realize America always wins?

LOL in your face.

Hearing about Phelps depresses me... he's only 23 and he's already a world renown sport superstar. Not to mention all the endorsements and stuff. Kind of hard to compete with that...

I think I'll go freshen up my cat's litter box now... you know, while Phelps continues amazing the world...

If Phelps was an amazing start, then I don't know what to call Lezak. Absolutely mind-blowing.

I like how the people in back (TV) were probably thinking "Everyone wants to see this again from many angles in slow-mo" and the announcers are just saying I think at least twice "We don't need to see this again" and it just keeps going!

On a serious note, damn that hurt hard
