I like summer way more than winter. I wish I liked winter more, since I had the chance to go two years ago. I had to get up at 5 though...so yeah. I suck.

yeah we suck cause we don't put enough money towards the athletes. i mean look at the US. it's crazy how much money they get towards the training. winter olympics is really our thing though. and also, my friend pointed this out. we may not get a lot of medals, but we make history...w/ simon whitfield and a few others who won the first gold medal in a new sport

a much better qualifier is medal/gold medal per capita.

And until the last Olympics, who was getting dominated in hockey? Canada was!

Just because you win one gold medal in the past 16 years that doesn't make you a powerhouse. The United States aren't a powerhouse in gymnastics now that the men's team finally medaled in the Olympics, but with your logic, they are.

Quiet your pretty little face or else you might sound dumb. :mrgreen:
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.
