The Olympics

     We're in the middle of the 2012 London Olympics and so far Michael Phelps is the greatest Olympian to exist, USA won gold in gymnastics, I have questioned my geography skills, and North Korea has been told that they have won all of the events that have already been played. All in all, I seem to have mixed feelings about this year's games, so I have compiled two small lists...

Here are three things that made me cry in tears of sadness due to its inability to entertain me:


     1. Opening ceremonies: I'm sorry, but what in the world was that supposed to be? Does London really want to be remembered as the city that had ADHD kids and a blowup Voldemort? Unless there is another summer Olympics being held in China soon, I don't think you can beat Beijing's opening. Sorry.

Showing off his B-E-A-Utiful nails!

     2. Commentary: Specifically, during the opening ceremonies. Everyone is saying this and I'm going to too! Shut up Matt Lauer! I don't want to know your opinion about the lighting nor do I want commentary about something that I'm obviously looking at.
   

     3. Sports that no one cares about: My apologies to water polo, badminton, and equestrian. No one really watches you guys. Even the commentators don't have much to say about you.

And here are three things that are worth my five hours of watching:

     1. Table Tennis: Yep! That game you play at your friends house, but end up running for the ball more than playing is probably the most fun to watch. It's even better when you have your friendly neighborhood Asians dominating the game.

     2. The Independent Olympic Athletes: These are people who are competing in the Olympics, but don't belong to a country. The awesome thing about being part of this group is when you win, you are the only winner. No one else but you gets the credit for what you have accomplished. It also helps that it looked like they were actually having fun walking in the opening ceremony and weren't just waving to people thinking that they were super important.

Look at them dancing!

     3. The Queen: Enough said.

If you look closely, you can see that she is unimpressed.
