Random Thoughts on the Olympics

I love the Olympics like a fat kids loves cake.  Here are my random thought after hours of watching the actual games and commentaries...

• My absolute favorite sport is women's gymnastics which should really be called Girl's Gymnastics.  Very few of them are women.
• The new rule that the two top scores only per team advance to the Women's All-Around is ridiculous.  Let the best compete, not the best from each team.  This is the Olympics.  Watching Jordan Wieber cry was heart-wrenching.  She is a better than gymnasts than the other teams sending their two.  It just so happens two of her teammates are just as great.
• I cry with the athletes as they win.  All that passion displayed with the realization that their hard work and sacrifice paid off.
• I cry with the athletes that lose.  
• I am an all around hot mess while watching these games.
• Listening to all the personal stories is just as exciting as the actual events.  I guess I'm nosy, because I want to know it all!
• Being a parent has me watching the parents of the the athletes.  
• I want an Olympic Rings tattoo.
• I don't understand why archery and shooting are apart of the Olympics.  Those are skilled activities not sports.  
• Divers in skimpy speedos is just wrong.
• If I were to enter in the Olympics, I would do gymnastics...or the high dive...or swimming...
• I would not do water polo. I don't like to tread water.
• I have many more thoughts, but the Olympics are on.
