Where'd My Arm Go?

I woke up this morning and couldn't find my arm for a second. I had been sleeping on it for so long that it became numb and I couldn't feel it. When I started moving around it eventually flopped down next to me. Whew, thank goodness!

What I Deserve I Earn

It's a great saying that is tattooed on the back of Great Britain's gymnast Louis Smith. Nothing in life is guaranteed or handed to you. If you want something you have to work for it to make sure you've done everything with in your power to earn it.

Great Day for Team USA!

Today, Michael Phelps won his 19th Olympic medal, making him the most decorated Olympian of all time. His career has spanned the course of four Olympic Games. He still has two chances left in London to become only one of three swimmers to win the same individual event at three different Olympic Games. He will arguably go down in history as one of the greatest Olympians and swimmers of all time.

Also at the Olympics today, USA's Women's Gymnastics Team won gold. The first team gold for the USA since the 1996 Olympic Games were Kerri Strug famously stuck the landing (with a broken ankle) on her vault routine. The Americans beat silver medalist Romania by 5 points. A huge feat when you think about how many 1/10th of a point deductions there are.

Go USA!

Olympic Thoughts

The Olympics are just getting underway. I've been watching live and perusing the NBC Olympics website to get more background on the athletes competing in London. Couple of thoughts, now bear with me. 


Why are gymnasts still wearing scrunchies? Can't they get a cute bow or ribbon that won't fly out of their hair? Do they have to get them specially made? I don't know of any store that still sells them?


How did Ryan Seacrest get the Olympics gig? He is the man responsible for Keeping Up With the Kardashians and now he is fit to interview the world's greatest athletes (Phelps, Lochte, Wambach, May-Treanor, Wieber, Eaton, etc.) on a global stage and during the biggest moments in their lives. Yep, doesn't sound quite right to me either. Is Ryan Seacrest really one of the best journalists America has to offer? I'm not buying it. He's the same size as the Women's Gymnastics team. (Just a FYI, he's in dress shoes and they're in sandals. Pre-pubescent girls are taller than he is.)

I don't care for Lolo Jones. I'm tired of seeing her face everywhere and hearing about her. She's the female version of Tim Tebow. She's been constantly thrown in my face. Don't ask me why I don't like her. I don't have any rational explanation for it. Something about her just bothers me. I end up yelling at my television and wanting to kick her in the shins.


Men's Road Cycling is the Nascar of the Olympics. A lot of laps, a lot of people who don't have a chance of winning, and only maybe 3 real minutes of action. It's a multi-hour event that could be highlighted in less then a minute.


Don't get me wrong I want to watch the popular events like Gymnastics, Track and Field, and Swimming but I'm more geared up to watch the ones you may not have realized were a sport. For example; handball, table tennis (AKA Ping Pong), rhythmic gymnastics, or the growing of Anthony Davis' unibrow. 


The 2012 Summer Olympic Games have just begun. I can't wait to see what will happen over the next 15 days of competition. 

Today's Accomplishments

1. Took the trash out.
2. Finished season 2 of Oz.

I don't want to toot my own horn but I must say that's a pretty awesome day off. Toot toot!

Me So Special

Last night, I scared myself when I took the TV off mute. Mind you, I actively made the decision to do this. Also, while I was asleep I had some crazy dreams. For example, getting cussed out in Spanish by some large lady. Oh, and I don't speak Spanish.

Me Being So Special

Slutty Pride

Please read the article attached to the link below. It would be amazing what us women could accomplish, control, create, establish if we worked and banded together instead of constantly cutting each other down. The possibilities are endless. Seriously, we could rule the world. I'm  drunk with power just thinking about it.
