Ok I am probably not the only blogger who used that phrase as their post title today. As many of you know, or don't know, the Winter Olympic Games started today in Turin Italy. And if you haven't already noticed by the upper right hand corner of my blog I am a little bit excited for the men's hockey to start! So I sat down and watched the opening ceremonies with Diana tonight and there were a few things that stuck out to me:
1) I'm not a big fan of the huge production that they do at the start of the opening ceremony. It is weird most of the time. This year they had fake cows that they pushed around and 50 ladies dressed in white with human size balloons on their heads pretending to be snowflakes...of which they looked nothing like! Maybe it is just me and my inability to understand and appreciate modern art, but for some reason I think there are alot of other people out there who don't get this either.
2) I am glad that Canada starts with the letter 'C'. First off because when the countries come walking in we are near the top of the list and I don't have to wait to change the channel. And the second reason is obvious, if Canada didn't start with the letter 'C' we would be known as Danada or Yanada and to quite honest I think that would be just plain silly.
3) I want one of Team Canada's sweet hats.
4) I'm with Seinfeld on the whole matter of the Biathlon: "You don't see many alpine snipers now-a-days."
The whole concept of the Olympics is great. Countries coming from all over the world and putting their best foot forward for 2 weeks, despite whatever differences that we may have with each other. Now if only some of that could carry over to after the Olympics. Anywho I should go to bed. Don't forget to watch the Olympics and cheer on your country's athletes and be proud of what they accomplish. Have a good weekend.
