Finally, no more Olympics…
So call me un-American, but once I heard that we, as a species, needed to do sex-checks/testing on athletes, age checks, etc… I decided that the Olympics were really beyond saving, and therefore not worth watching at all.
It’s a shame too, as I used to like watching some of the events. The running stuff, boring. Javelin was ok (spear throwing, what’s not to like), gymnastics was incredible… but I gave them all up. No more.
I tried to get excited for Phelps, but I couldn’t. Glad he did what he did, incredible performance, but I didn’t watch any of it.
Just another thing as I get older that is removed from my life, either by force or my choice.
Well, at least now that they are over, my late-night talk shows are back on. Robot Chicken reruns to fall asleep to were getting old…

While I might admit it is sad that we require the testing, I still enjoyed the Olympics.
Gymnastics are probably the most interesting event in the Summer Olympics.
The Winter Olympics, however, holds the most awesome event of all: Curling.
