So, the Olympics were just here, and I didn't really get to catch much of it. Luckily, I have begun to discover the greater things in life, and I am not spending as much time on my ass in front of the television. I am not really much of a Winter Olympics person anyways. I like Gymnastics and Diving, not Curling and Luging! The Luge.... what a disastrous year for that event! I feel for the guy and everything, but seriously, that's a risk that you take when you agree to fly down an ice tube going 100 mph. Shit happens. No one ever said that luging was any sort of a good idea, regardless of the dangers. Who just walked outside one day and said, "I think I wanna build a large water slide made of ice, then have a box car race down, and eventually one day have one of the greatest movies EVER made about this new sport?" It's retarded. I also saw a bi-athlon event, where the competitors had to shoot a rifle at some targets, and then cross-country ski. Why is that a combination, and why the F is that an Olympic Sport? I won't even get into Curling...

The Olympics are for SPORTS. A sport is where people exert energy and use strength combined with training and strategy to kick ass. Sitting in a sled and trying really hard to be aerodynamic is not a sport. Polishing ice is not a sport, and "Ice Dancing" is a hobby. How about they add Football to the Winter Olympics, huh?
