Olympic Expectations

Do you ever find yourself watching Michael Phelps swim, and then watch ANY other Olympic event and just assume that person should win as well? He makes it look soooo easy. Last night he swam for 2 more gold medals, 2 more world records, became the most decorated Olympian....ever, and so on and so forth. Then they cut to ladies gymnastics, and my mind just expected them to win easily, and they didn't. They had balance issues, and unfortunately they occurred on the balance beam. Oops. Maybe Michael Phelps should have competed, he probably would have won gold. Just think of it, he's got those size 14 flippers he calls feet...he could miss the beam by a foot to either side and still grab hold with those babies. They also made it a point to say that he was double jointed in his knees, that's got to help out in gymnastic flexibility!

While I'm talking Olympics, I don't understand what the fuss is over China using a stand in for a 7 year old girl who sang in the opening ceremonies. Apparently the people that decide this sort of stuff deemed she was unfit for tv viewing. The way I see it pretty much everybody I know, myself included, is unfit for tv. Have you looked at people on tv lately? They are all so fake looking! From news anchors, to sitcom stars, reality tv people, movie stars, musicians, the whole lot of 'em. I don't think I know anybody that is tv worthy, I know I wouldn't enjoy seeing myself on tv...all I know is that I look like a giant dork when I see myself on home videos. Maybe we should just clone Michael Phelps, he seems to be everywhere and on every commercial anyway. Think about it, Live with Michael and Kelly.....Good Morning America with Michael Phelps, your local evening news with Michael Phelps. Michael Phelps stars as Indiana Jones and the Slime Creatures From Outer Space. Survivor Beijing with Michael Phelps versus himself 16 times over. Biggest Loser Michael Phelps edition, he would have to lose the remaining 1/2 an ounce of body fat that he currently has or be subject to elimination. Ahhh, I could rant all day...but I think I'm done now. I feel better. Phelps as a Blogger, another way he is WAY better than me.
