GO CANADA!!

Olympic fever has hit our house.  We are surprised about this.  Ryan and I both thought that it was cool that the Olympics were in Canada, but we don't usually follow them.  However, that has changed this year.  After watching the opening ceremonies at my parent's house, we have watched some Olympic event since.  I have even, to my mom's shock, watched curling. 

There are events that I never even knew existed.  Most years I have most enjoyed watching figure skating, that has changed though.  This year I haven't watched figure skating once.  I am loving the skiing and snowboarding races the most.  It`s impossible to get bored watching these events.  I am also enjoying speed skating.

I have heard people, like my cousin Ryamond for example whining about the amount, or lack of rather, medals Canada is getting.  I have three words for you.  SUCK IT UP!  Let`s be proud of the athletes that have trained their entire lives to get here.  They are living their dreams, and the last thing the athletes that haven`t earned a medal need is some couch potato judges.  I am just thrilled with the fact that we are no longer the pathetics hosts without gold on our own soil.  So far we have 3! 

I am super proud to be Canadian, and I am super proud of our athletes.  The only athletes I think we do have more a right to judge a little more harshly are the hockey players.  For as much as these professional athletes are paid in the NHL, they should have no problems beating the crap out of every other country out there.  There should really be no contest with any other country besides the States.  That game takes place this afternoon.  Hopefully the Canadians will come out on top.

GO CANADA!!
