Morning friends!
I've been lacking in the updates and it was merely a day or two of silence in mourning for the men's soccer team's loss. Their loss being to Nigeria, of course. If I ever see Michael Orozco on the streets, he better be scerred. Seriously. I can deal with my team loosing if everything is all nice and fair. But what the hell is his problem? The ass elbowed a member of the Nigerian team in the chest FOUR MINUTES INTO THE GAME, grabbing himself a red card and getting his ass kicked out of the game, and had USA won, out of the tournament completely.
Of course, I was already pissy before because the game started at FOUR O CLOCK IN THE MORNNING! USA did a good job, though, for only playing to players to Nigeria's 11. I think I should put a camera up whenever I watch soccer games because I shout at the tv, fuss, complain, whine. The funniest part is that I have no idea what's going on, since I've never played before. But my boy, Sacha Kljestan (pernounced, I believe Klehzstin or something. I can say it, if that counts, scored a free kick, making the score 2 - 1. I forgave him for ALL the times he lost the ball during the game. I kind of have to forgive them anyway, because, those boys were so tired. I think when they finally subbed, in the 80th minute or so, Stuart Holden walked off the field looking like he was about to fall out.
So in the end, loss or not, I'm proud of them. Those boys definately proved why they were chosen for this team. If anything, I think they're the real heroes in this olympics. I mean. 10 players - 11 players, no one changed for 80 minutes in the HOT, HUMID China heat? Go job, boys!
At least the girls are still in the running. Any US soccer fan needs to rock their support for these girls. They have the gall to go all the way.
On another note. Who watched Women's Gymnastics? Holy fuck! Gold and Silver!
and finally, medal count. I took it last night right after the girls won gold and silver, so the count is actually different. USA is up 45 and China is up to 40.
So, I gotta get ready for work. I gotta be at the club in like 30 minutes. Peace!

MICHAEL PHELPS BREAKS RECORDS!!!
Tonight was apparently the night. For Michael Phelps, anyway.Gaining not only his forth, but fifth gold medal of this year's olympics, he also broke the all time records of most gold medals...EVER.
After his win last night, Michael Phelps was tied with some of the greatest olympians of all time, but, apprently, that wasn't enough. Winning gold on both swims, he put himself in the record books as not only the first olympian to ever get TEN GOLD MEDALS over an olympic career, but also slipped in an extra one, making it a nice total of ELEVEN!!!!
Congratulaltions, Michael Phelps on re writing olympic history!
And even more. The good guys from Team USA swim team not only beat the world record in the 4 x 200, but smashed it by touching the wall five seconds ahead of it. The camera had to pan back just to see where the rest of the swimmers were. The last swimmer for team USA (there were four total...for those who didn't watch) beat the runner up by like 8 seconds.
So here's the latest Michael Phelps medal count...as of now. (11:46 pm 08/12/08)
and the entire medal count for the entire olympics...
Go US! And congrats to the Gymnastics girls for the silver medal in the teamp competition.
On another note. I dropped my spatula in the stove and it burned and smelled funny and now my throat feels funny. Is that odd or am I paranoid?

| Basketball Coach from USA sucks. |
[11 Aug 2008|08:26am] |
the women's basketball coach (olympic) is an ass. She's worse then Coach Henry was back in High School. Seriously. Her team is leading 102 - 61 and she's pacing back and forth shouting shit out to her team. Dude. She's going to win. She needs to sit her happy ass down and let her girls play. It's not like they're idiots. They're some of the top players in the WNBA and each and every team members seems to be remarkably satisfied with what's going on so why isn't she?
None the less, she's the one who called Becky Hammon a traitor for going to play for Russia in the olympics. USA coach is just pissed off that Russia asked her first. And even when she got an offer from USA they asked her if she'd like to 'try out' for the team, while she had a spot on Russia's team without having to prove herself.
Does anyone forget that a good portion of WNBA star do play internationally while they aren't playing in the states.
Ugh. just looking at her makes me want to smack her.

Michael Phelps Medal Count
I think all of America is rooting for Phelps with his goal of 8 medals. But this medal is all Team USA, since there was four swimmers. I'm so stoked for our boys.
Watch tomorrow for Phelp's next race.
Another thing, completely off olympic topic. I got a D Day at work, which is essentially a 'Decision Day' which means I have to decide whether or not I want to work there any more. D Days are only called up if you have too many write ups, which I do. This last one was because I hit a car, then swiped another one within thirty minutes. Or so they say. Bastards. Anyway. It's essentially a year's probation. If I get four absences, or 12 tardies or if I miss a day unncessarily. Or if I do ANYTHING at all that is un cool, I'm essentially gone. Again. Bastards. The whole thing is like a whirlwind in my mind because I'm not even sure I comprehend the whole discipline policy anyway, which I'm sure is an issue if they do fire me.
My grandma was pissed at me because on my other write ups I wrote 'I understand' on my write ups, mainly because evil Debbie forced me to. She said I should have added that I didn't agree, which, since it's internet based, I could contest it later on, but, since I didn't know and didn't get much of a choice on what to write...
I seriously hate fucking Sam's Club and if I could find something that paid better, I'd be so gone.
Anyway, so today at work, I did something to my ankle. Not sure what, but it's bruised, swollen and hurting. it was hurting so bad, I closed half the night without shoes and spent the rest of it crying it hurt so bad. No one gave a flying fuck. I'm going to ask someone to go home early tomorrow because it really hurts to walk and I have all those issues with my ankles from my injuries from playing city league basketball during high school. If it's still hurting tomorrow, I'm going to the health clinic on Tuesday.
