So my voice is completely gone.....

HO-LY SHIT!!!! The LENGTHS!!!! The race was freaking EPIC!!!! Dear God I WISHED I was back home cause this shit? Demanded EPIC celebration like what went on down in Half-Way Tree, Jamaica.


And Puma LOVES Him they just gave him a BMW *snerk* Quite a change from the Honda Civic, I must say!


But NBC. That fucking Bob Newman guy. HOW the HELL could he be so insensitive to Spearmon? How can you ask him so tactlessly "Well, you were celebrating the the bronze and having a victory lap in the US flag and then you were disqualification tell me how you are feeling right now?" Dear GOD THE INSENSITIVITY! The blatant wish to dig every but of drama out of the situation and serve it up as entertainment! how could he SAY that when the guy looked so devastated! The same damn thing they did to Lolo Jones, in her freaking face when it was obvious she was looking for a nice quiet place to express her despair! GOD I wish that I could watch the thing other than that blasted station! GRRRRR


Anyway. Marvelous to see Melaine equal Deon Hemmings by winning gold in the 400m hurdles right afterwards. if there is a whole pot cover left in the island of Jamaica, god knows it was strongly made indeed!


Ato Bolden and Bob Costas have stirred up a firestorm of pissed off J'cans with their rather sour-grapes remarks. One particular editorial got right to the point *snickers*
Also, a Jamaican reporter caught up with Mr. Bolden and close-boarded him about the matter. Mr. Bolden admitted his stupidity but the people whom he needs to tel that, his NBC audience, will of course, remain in the dark. Indeed my thought about him are sulfurous, because I expected him to be a bulwark of reason against the madness of the commentators. Silly me. Anyway! Life is good. 4 golds, 3 silvers, 13th place, and a chance to maybe do even better. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
