Well, just in case you didn't catch these in my fb news feed, I am gathering them all to one place. My Random Olympic Thoughts. More to come, we aren't even half way through the games yet. But here they are, with a few bonus ones.
Sometimes, I stay up till four in the morning watching curling. Not because I really like curling, I just think one of the British curlers, and one of the Russian curlers are super hot, and them yelling at their teammates in their respective languages/accents suddenly made curling 100% facinating to me. If there were posters, I'd buy one and hang it on my wall.
Always, I think that Ralph Lauren should be banned from designing any more of our team outfits. Thats two fails, two Olympics in a row Ralph, I dont think you should get three strikes, this hear's the Olympics, not some stupid pushcart derby! Go big or go home!! Those althletes deserve an effort that doesn't mock all the work and years of life they've put into this.
Always Torvill and Dean's Bolero routine is still, in my opinion, the greatest piece of skating ever done. (wipes away a tear).
Sometimes, Pleshinko skates, and I just want to move to Russia and marry him. He's kind of like Philippe Candalero used to be, you know, like back when I was 12.
Always I think Pairs skaters are insane. Amazing. Talented. Great to watch. Insane.
Sometimes I watch the Olympics, and still think its 1994. I ask dumb questions like Whatever happend to Alberto Tomba, Torvill and Dean, Katerina Witt, Where is Johan Olav Koss, and Bonnie Blair? And then I realize, most of them were already kind of old for athletes in 1994, 20 years later would be really pushing it.
Always, I will love the Jamaican bobsled team best. And when they march into the stadium I will sing "no people say they dont believe, Jamaica we gotta bobsled team! GO JAM!!!"
Sometimes, when Im watching the Olympics Minnie Driver is in a commercial for a TV show, and she sings about the Olympics, and then I want to watch that show, because I love watching Minnie Driver, and I love people who sing about the Olympics.
Sometimes, during the Winter Olympics, It snows in Seattle, when its slushy in Sochi.
Sometimes, When I watch the Olympics I say stuff like this, out loud, then post it on Facebook "Did I just hear throw quad toe loop? I think I did, and she had the rotation. Female pairs skaters ARE INSANE!! But good job team USA, way to skate." and this "What is it the Dutch do thats so different from everyone else? why are they so unstoppable at long track speed skating?
... and this "really excited about watching cross country skiing and hearing the crowd chant "Latvija, Latvija, Latvija" yay Latvia!!!
or
"I much prefer long track speed skating to short. Its so fun to watch, and its all about speed, not fighting for positions"
or even
"Interesting that Russian and Scottish seem to be the least obnoxious languages/ accents you can yell while curling in. American and Swedish are kind of annoying for curling. At least more so than the other two."
And sometimes, I even cheer for non American athletes, in their own languages. "Allez Fourcade!"
sometimes I watch pairs skaters come onto the ice and I think, What on earth do they have those crazy costumes for (like a hot pink body suit and a blue soldier looking outfit) then their music starts playing (pink panther) and it suddenly makes sense, but I still just wonder why? why would you skate to that? and why would you wear that? well, pairs will be pairs. thats Why I always have done singles. I do love to watch their craziness though. I kind of admire their ability to just be wacky and crazy pairs skaters, and skate amazingly even in a hot pink body suit.
sometimes, when Im watching curling in the olympics, I just think- will this End ever end? eventually it does, but usually not fast enough. The men take so much longer than the women. I prefer womens curling. Their Ends end in a reasonable amount of time, I fall asleep before the mens is over, then I have to look up who won.
Sometimes, When Im watching Shawn White snowboard, I just think he's really hot. I mean, what else is there to think? I love his new hair cut, and he's hot. I think I want to get a giant poster of him with his new haircut for my geek room, Im so geeking out on Shawn, gold or no gold, I love that hair!!
Sometimes, watching pairs skating, they pick classy outfits, and classy music, and I just think. WOW so beautiful. So So beautiful.
Sometimes, when watching the cross country skiing and biathalon events, I often think- Man, I chose the wrong sport to start when I was five, Or else I chose the wrong sport to start up when I was twelve. Either I should have started skating at five, or I should have stuck with the skiing, I could have made it to the olympics starting that young. I am really good at shooting. DANG IT!!! too late now, im too out of shape to cross country ski that fast, and long.
Sometimes, no, everytime I watch the doubles luge, I just think who the heck thought this up? like really? was there an emergency and two people needed to get to the bottom of the luge run, and the one guy was just like, hey share this tiny little sled with me, we'll go down together, its totally safe. And then someone saw them do it, and that two bodies are faster than one, and were like, hey, you can't hide weights in a luge, because theres no where to hide them ,but i bet me and my buddy- that weighs more than your buddy, I bet we can go down that slipery slope much faster than you can.
Always, Shawn White, I still Love you. Gold or no Gold. I love you.
Sometimes when I watch luge doubles, Latvia looks like they may just get the gold, but then they get the bronze instead, but its Latvia, so im still really happy.
Sometimes when im watching the Winter Olympics, and I keep seeing latvia, and they keep doing really well, and sometimes, they are even better than the americans. and then I'm like, wow, Im glad I've lived in latvia, latvia is cool, now the world knows it.
Always, when Torah Bright smiles, the world wins gold. what a nice happy person to watch.
Sometimes, when Im watching the Winter Olympics, and the comercials that come on are themed for the Summer Olympics, I get a little mad. You dont see Winter Olympic themed commercials during the summer games, why you dis'in' us Winter Olympic folks by taking our space? and what ever happened to those cute coke polar bears? commercials during the Olympics have gotten super lame. They used to have super bowl quality. Actually, come to think of it, the super bowl commercials were mostly not that great either. We are lacking ideas for selling people crap they dont need these days. Maybe thats a good thing?
Sometimes, When Im watching the Olympics, there's a tie for gold. EVERYBODY WINS. well, at least two people and their countries win. but really, everybody wins, because its rare and exciting. You should get an extra gold, for matching the top time as measured by less than seconds. Cool BEANS!!! I feel kind of sad that no one gets a silver though,they just skip right to bronze. No one gets second- NO SOUP FOR YOU!!
Sometimes, when Im watching Pairs, they skate to Skyfall, and I sing along, Adele's part. and I nail it like a throw triple Axel.
Always, I love the P&G Olympian mom comercials, I have to thank my mom everytime I see them, for taking me to the skating rink at 5 am for years.
Sometimes, the Pair from China skate to a medely from Les Miserables, and my living room turns into a musical, and a skating rink all at the same time.
Sometimes, during the medal ceremonies, I stand on a chair with my hand on my heart, and mouth the national anthem, and imagine I Just won gold.
Always, I thank you for reading my blog. May the flame of the Olympic Spirit burn in your heart.
