So I haven’t blogged in a while. I discovered something during the past week or so. I discovered that when I am concerned and/or worried about something, I don’t blog as much. I believe basically this is because I want my blogs to be humorous, witty, or informative, you know all that stuff. I find it difficult to blog about how I am feeling, or blog about things that are of a personal nature. I hope everyone has had a good week.
The Olympics start today and I am looking forward to watching them. I don’t really like to watch the track and field events. I like swimming, diving, gymnastics, boxing, softball. Here’s hoping the United States has a good run during these games.
Here’s some Olympic medal facts:
The United States leads in all-time medal standings with 2,197. Russia holds second place with 1,122 and coming in third is Great Britian with 677.5 (I don’t know how you get .5 of a medal).
The U.S. has a whopping 485 medals in swimming with Australia in second place with 157. In diving, the U.S. has won 128 medals with China in second place with 38. In gymnastics, the U.S. is in third place with 83 medals, with Russia in first place and Japan in second place.

Enjoy the Games!

My dad has been CONSTANTLY watching the Olympics this year. It's unbelievable. He'll sit in front of the TV for hours cheering for the US. I guess this is what you get when his baseball team (the Braves) aren't doing very well this year.
But I have to admit, I've put in a few hours of watching them myself!
