me tooo!!!

At the closing ceremonies thing though, when they let Vancouver do their presentation, it was totally whack. Ok. You CANT icefish in vancouver. But you can SAIL, In vancouver, in February. Vancouver isn't a winter city by any stretch of the imagination, almost ALL the events will be in whistler, which is about 3 hours up the mountains. Seriously though, that presentation had nothing to do with Vancouver i'm sorta embarassed. Me along with All of B.C., they did segments on the news tonight: seems every paper in the province has been inundated with editorials about how humiliated they are by it.

they were selling the entire country
hence pics in the background from the east coast, praries, etc

it was still a huge stereotypical look at Canada. And it had nothing at all do with the host city, it was completely unrelated.

I liked the bit where the kiddies on the sled started off on the east coast and went across the whole country and ended up in Vancouver.

Okay these have been over for a little while, but was there any talk about that Austrian guy who was banned from the Olympics because he'd perform blood transfusions on his athletes to help increase the oxygen in their blood (red blood cells?) to help the athletes perform better. Anyway he was hunted down in a high speed chase and crashed his car. It was crazy!

crazy! that's not really that uncommon, though, is it? i'm not sure about blood doping, but lots of athletes train at high altitudes to increase their hemoglobin's oxygen carrying capacity, which really is the same thing as blood doping.

Yeah, but blood doping is illegal or not allowed in the Olympics. He was banned because of it, but was actually discovered staying next door to the Austrian athletes at the current Olympics. Olympic police actually raided the entire Austrian's living quarters in a surprise raid in the middle of the night just because of this guy. Then he tried to run from the cops and tried to get out of Italy, but ended up crashing his car while being chased, lol.

apparently he said when he saw the police barricade he was suicidal and decided to ram his car into it. After his arrest they put him in the psych ward on suicide watch. I haven't heard anything since

I like how the actual Austrian police chased him too and not the Italian police.

i dunno.

but i love that curling now.

there i was sitting at a sports bar.....watching curling. everything was alright till i was like......c'mon cmon cmon cmon cmon cmon *rocks clink* YEAH!!!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!

it was like the whole bar was looking at me cheering like a mad man at a sport that i know nothing about. needless to say, a few frat boys joined in and every time a rock hit another one, we were all like YEAH!!!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!! *high 5's a plenty.*\

honestly, it looks like fun.

It is fun.


Its a quite challenging game to play as well.

Apparently the guys who won are getting streets named after them.

People are really happy they won.

On march 10th you all must watch the paraolympics which are the olympics for the physically disabled. My friend, Christopher Williamson, is an Alpin skiier who only has 6% of his vision, he won a gold medal in Salt Lake and he has won 4 world cups this year alone. Support Canada!
