i'm back bitches
i guess i had what could only be called a summer vacation. although i didn't really go on vacation. life has gotten pretty nutty and i haven't been able to find the time to blog!
i've made the decision that for the next 2 months i will be focusing my opinions on the world of politics. this is such a crazy time for american politics that i have to talk about it! i hope you all enjoy it as much as i do. i will still be commenting on the wonderful world of pop culture; but politics will play a bigger role. and if you really think about it, politics and pop culture are more similar now then they have ever been.
xoxo

my olympic update
i just found out the men's gymnastic uniforms consist of socks and stirrup pants! how awesome is that?
i'm sorry but there's no way that all these girls are 16; most of them look about 10. i understand that all that jumping probably stunts your growth and that all that exercises can halt maturity but come on! it's total crap that we are supposed to "trust" a government that has questionable morals to provide truthful documents stating the age of the athletes.
despite having 2 of their 6 teammates injured, making some pretty big mistakes and generally letting their nerves get the best of them the us gymnasts finished strong and are in good shape for the medal round! yay america!

thumbs up
this week thumbs up/thumbs down will be on friday.
one of my favorite things is quickly approaching and this week i have to give a big thumbs up to the olympics!!
the olypmics are so great for so many reasons!
first, the human interest stories associated with the olypmics are amazing. for example the 41 year old swimmer dara torres who is competing in her record setting 5th olympic games, and is so old that some of the other athletes weren't even born when she began her career. then there's the guy carrying the US flag in the opening ceremony - he's one of sudan's "lost boys"and is now a US citizen competing in track and field! how heartwarming is that? during the next 2 weeks there will be countless other stories like this and i can't wait!
the best part of the olympic for me is that for 2.5 weeks it becomes completely appropriate to be super patriotic and say things like "the US is gonna kick ass on the metal stand!" i enjoy keeping track of just how awesome america is by the running tally of medals. if it seems like america always wins the most medals; it's because we do because we are awesome!
