Randall (using grocery shopping as an analogy to how some sources try controlling the interview with the media): You see other food and better deals down other aisles trying to drag you in, but you're only in there to get specific food. Get only what you need and don't get distracted.
Another work week come and gone, and another medal for Canada! Yeah, that's right. Karen Cockburn of Toronto won a silver medal on the trampoline, increasing Canada's medal count to an impressive two!
As Canadians, we should be supporting every medal we get, and while I'll admit the sports we're winning them in aren't the most commonly played, they do take a lot of talent which people are forgetting about. I mean, syncronized diving is tough. It's hard enough pulling flips in mid air and holding a perfect form, leaving a little splash in the water, let alone doing it in sync with a partner.
And the trampoline? I sure couldn't do flips, twists and turns in the air and land square on my feet every time, all while getting 20 feet in the air.
What I enjoy about the Olympics is it gives TV viewers and live spectators the opportunity to watch sports which you don't see on a regular basis, especially in Canada. What I don't like about the Olympics is the damn Americans winning every time.
But then my city editor at the Citizen Randall Heicht mentioned the possibility of blind archery, or something like that coming into the Olympics. Now wouldn't that be stupid. That's as bad as having deaf people entering a music competition. Now they just need the blind commentators as well to call the play by play.
- Speaking of music, Sam Roberts is performing at Sport Mart Place on September 3rd, so anybody who wants to go should let me know because anytime there's a live concert cabaret style I'm game.
- My parents returned to Scotland yesterday, after flying for about 12 hours - ouch! They were generous enough to buy me a Celtic soccer jersey. For those who don't know, Celtic is the number one soccer team in Scotland. The jersey is sweet too, it's green and white with a four leaf clover on it. I'd still of rather been in Scotland with them, but the jersey isn't a bad deal.
- I don't know for sure if I'm leaving to Kamloops on the 29th, it might be the 30th. Either or, who really cares right?
- I saw the Borne Surpremacy last night. I thought it was a great movie with lots of action scenes, very entertaining. Go watch it if you can handle guns, blood, punches, action packed drama from start to finish. Or just go expecting a romantic comedy, or cartoon and knock yourself out.
- This is my 82nd post, which isn't a lot considering I've been using blogger for 16 months. That's an average of only five posts a month, or just over a post a week. I think Nick posts a little more frequently.
- I've decided to do the list thing because, like Nick, I enjoy lists. Also, who better to follow from than Nick right?
