So, it's Olympics time again. It still doesn't seem like that long ago that the Beijing Olympics were being held. And it looks like they brought a metric s**tton of problems over to the Vancouver Olympics. First, I'll get the obvious one out of the way. The Georgian luger, Nodar Kumaritashvili, died today in a luging accident. Now, I have full respect for the dead. and I think Nodar deserves recognition, but it seems a bit far to call an athlete that many people had never heard of two days ago a "hero". Just saying. Second, I would like to get across that I never liked luge that much. Seemed pretty dangerous to me.
On a lighter note, doesn't it seem ironic that the city hosting the Winter Olympics is the only place north of Florida without any snow right now?
I'm gonna be getting to that make-up post tomorrow. I've been procrastinating too much lately, and I need to get back into the habit of writing posts after band camp.
