As a way to catch up, I'm instead going to give you a reader's digest version of what I would have posted had I taken the time to do so.
1. OLYMPICS: Honestly, I got a little sick of Michael Phelps and his dangerously low swimsuit. People started calling him "the greatest athlete of all time" just because he has the most medals. However, you must remember that swimming is one of a handful of sports where you can even win that many medals. I don't think that those weightlifters who only do 1 or 2 events are any less of athletes just because they're only going for one medal.
Also, props to USA gymnastics. Shawn was always my favorite and I was so happy when she finally won her gold. Nastia is the most beautiful gymnast I've ever seen, but both of her parents are gymnasts and she trains at a gymnastics academy. They both have uniquely American stories, so at least I can enjoy that much. Go USA!
2. JOE BIDEN: Boring. Only one word can describe it. I was almost certain it would be Hillary, my homegirl. What's worse, the Obama campaign has done a good job of dropping out of the spotlight since the announcement. It's getting a little scary, actually. McCain-in-the-ass has a change of becoming a president these days. No good.3. SARAH PALIN: Great candidate, horrible possibility for a vice president. Not only does she stand for just about everything I am against, she pretends to understand the needs of everyday Americans, even though she supports Alaska conceding from these Americans. She makes me nervous and queasy. Although, her Tina fey style really works for her.
4. SCHOOL: I'm so over this.
Alright, these are the major things for now. Look for not as jumbled entries soon. I'm trying to do one a week. Cheers!
