The Olympics
I've been waiting for so long and they finally arrived. Let's talk about the ceremony. I didn't know what time it was going to be on so when I turned my tv on I catched the walk of all the countries into the Olympic Stadium. BIG mistake. The most boring thing I've ever watched in my entire life. I had a few flashbacks of the previews ones and I couldn't remember why I hadn't made a mental note that warned me not to watch it.
By the time country number 60 walked in my head was forcing my body to stand up and go do something else, preferably something that wouldn't metamorphosically stupidalize me, but my legs and arms did not respond on time to those orders people, instead they dropped dead, it was just too late. Over 200 unknown nations walked, and walked and walked so slow and I watched the parade cause I am that kind of masochistic. When they showed that areal view where they had everyone in the field I started to cry I was in indescribable pain.
The Greek Alphabet has only 24 letters, but with all that pain it didn't seemed like it let me tell ya. Alpha is the first one, so how in the name of the Greek Gods was Argentina in the middle of the countries counting? Why did they want to punish me like that?
The Clothes, lets talk about that. I loved what Argentina made for their athletes. It was just simple and nice, caqui pants and white shirts for both males and females. I liked some European's outfits such as Switzerland and Ireland. Only those two in fact, the rest, well they just wore sport things totally out of line.
But clothes are not important, judging someone for that is just shallow. We all know we don't watch the Olympics for that reason really. I mean there is pretty people in dozens everywhere.
Most of them should have their antidrogs tests redone. Everybody seemed happy, not worried, and some just creepy. Maybe they got an Olympic beverage before all that walking, one would suppose the most fastest people in the world could walk one round around the field a little more quickly.
An Italian guy kissed a camera, I was astonished and just couldn't move farther away from my tv if only, if only I had closed my eyes, he placed his lips on this camera's glass, which was of course, the one transmitting to me, and smashed a kiss I have forever recorded in my corneas.
Every athlete had a mini-flag of his respective country, that they could swing around, except Japan, their people shaked pink air producers pallets, even men. Now that may had looked stupid but still they got everyone to swing cameras and cell phones, so who laughs last?
I do have some things to point out though that make me think twice about our unpredictable human race. I never thought the Olympic mind was so expanded everywhere in countries geographically impossible to find. Nauru, Burundi, Oman, Sri Lanka. I sure need to study more geography. There were countries that only had 4 or 5 participants and they were proud to be there. It was soul touching. Still, we ain't gonna have mercy no Ah, please.
What amazed me the most was to see those thousands of people there in Greece and who knows how much on their homes, works, schools ..you get the idea around the world watching like we had never been more exited to watch a fire burning on a stick.
