Watching the Olympics, games where the most amazing athletes in the world compete against each other and break world records, has not inspired me to become more athletic, but has turned me into a complete couch potato. So sad but true. When are these friggin' games over?! If I keep watching, my skin will start melting into the leather couch! That wont' smell great...
I just finished watching the all-around female gymnastics competition. These girls are awesome. Not only do they have amazing physical ability, but they have such great composure! When Nastia saw her final high score, she just smiled. I woulda whooped for joy! And when it was decided that she's the gold medal winner, she smiled a lot and hugged her dad a lot. If it was me? I'd be either bawling like a baby or running wild like a crazy woman! No, both!! I'd point at all my competition and scream, "SUCKAAAAAAAAAS!!" Just kidding. I'd do a roundhouse kick, then scream. Shoot. I can't do a roundhouse kick in real life, well, not one that wouldn't cause any injury to myself or anyone near me, but doing a good roundhouse is more likely than becoming an Olympic medalist. Shoot. I better go to sleep. I'm starting to not make any sense. Yes.
Holy crap! A wrestler got the bronze in some competition, and after receiving the medal on the medals stand, he took off his medal and stalked off! He said the judging was unfair, and he deserved the gold! Let's see if he'll get stripped of his medal!
My eyes are burning from too much artificial light! Good night and good luck!! :)

Woah! It's Bigfoot!
I am definitely not a bigfoot skeptic. I will believe almost anything. If you tell me dinosaurs still exist in untouched areas of the Amazon, I'll believe it! But this claim that these two guys from Georgia found this corpse of this once mythical bigfoot in the remote forests of Georgia seems a little unbelievable. If this is real, why couldn't they have posted a better photo? The face looks like a poor Photoshop job. I can do better. And it looks amazingly like those ape costumes used in those sci-fi movies. And instead of just revealing the DNA evidence and other photos, why can't they just reveal the actual corpse? So many questions, but I doubt we'll get good answers. Well. We shall see if this is a hoax or not at tomorrow's press conference in Palo Alto...

Simple Pleasure - Water Balloon Fight
Nothing brings out our inner child more than a good water balloon fight on a hot summer day. A couple of weeks ago, my friends threw a birthday party for their 1 year old daughter. One of the forms of entertainment was water balloons. At first, we played organized games, but inevitably, this turned into a full on water balloon war. This is probably the only game that both attackers and victims enjoy attacking and being victimized. A game so simple can turn everyone into a child, erase ill feelings and turn enemies into friends, even if it's momentary. I think we all ought to play once in a while. Forget what hurts/pains/angers you and engage in a good water balloon fight.

Dream ## - The Pitts
The other night, I had a dream that Brad Pitt and I were deeply in love with each other. It was a love like no other. We were truly happy. But one day, Angelina came into the picture. She seduced him with her awesome sexy power. No wait. She's not awesome. And she took him away. I was so heartbroken and so mad. I hated her. Grrrrrr... We all know who's supposed to be the real Mrs. Pitt!!

Yosemite July 2008
The old bf and I made a short trip to Yosemite this past weekend. We were not aware of the fire burning in Mariposa, a county neighboring Yosemite, that started last Friday. When we got to the park, we drove straight to Glacier and Washburn Points. The air was a little smoky, but we could still the mountains, waterfalls, and large landmarks of the valley floor well from up there.
This is taken from Washburn Point. To the left is Half Dome and to the right are Vernal and Nevada Falls, also commonly known as The Giant Staircase. Even in this poor light, how you can think this is anything less than incredible?
After a short while of admiring the breathtaking views, we made our way back down to the valley. The difference in that half hour was incredible. The air was a lot denser and gray. I quickly snapped a shot of the valley as we drove by Tunnel View. The parking lot was closed for some reason.
This is a slightly different angle, but it's supposed to look like this.
Half Dome could barely be seen from Sentinel Bridge. We hung out in the valley for a couple more hours, having a casual lunch at the Ahwahnee, checking out the famous landmark, and taking photos of anything that caught our eye. As time quickly flew by, I noticed my eyes started to sting from the increasingly heavy air and my lungs didn't feel quite as strong. Even though the entire valley was blanketed in a fog of smoke, I still found Yosemite to be so incredibly beautiful. It seemed as if all was seen behind a soft red filter. It was beautiful.
The mountains are like gigantic ghosts looming in the background.
El Capitan veiled in smoke.
The sun fighting its way through the darkening skies.

How Accurate is He?
A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 hit Japan today, July 23, 2008. A Brazilian man by the name of Juselino Nóbrega da Luz already knew this would happen before it happened. This prophet's forecasts are listed in an article in Y Dan, a Vietnamese magazine published on June 1, 2008.
He foresaw:
911
The capture of Saddam Hussein
The death of Pope John Paul
The tsunami in southeast Asia (He even wrote a letter on April 30, 1997, warning a powerful official of some country [don't remember what my dad interpreted for me] that a tsunami will hit on December 26, 2004. He received a response saying that they are much too busy with other things than to worry about his premonitions.)
A large earthquake to hit Japan in July 2008
What does he see in our future?
The China Olympics will not be successful. He sees that the 2004 Olympics was the final one.
September 18, 2008
There will be a devastating 9.1 earthquake in Nanking and Hoinan, China.
December 17, 2008
The US will survive another terrorist attack.
2010
Certain regions of Africa will suffer from severe droughts and extreme temperatures - up to 58 C (136.4 F).
June 15, 2010
New York stock market will collapse with worldwide repercussions
2011
Cures for some cancer will be discovered. Finally! Some good news! BUT! Humans will contract a disease that will cause victims to die within four hours.
November 25, 2013
A volcano will erupt off the waters of Spain, causing a 150 foot high tsunami. These waves can even be felt in Brazil and the US.
2016
There will be a typhoon in China taking the lives of many people
2016
George W. Bush will pass away from a medical emergency.
2026
"The Big One" hits San Francisco. Parts of California will collapse into the Pacific.
I really hope none of these will come true, but he was right on with some things though. It's sad to say that our future looks pretty bleak...
