I'm feeling very Olympic today!

name the movie with the quote above, win a prize.

Okay, time for some Olympic ramblings....from guest journalist...Yoda.

  • Ready to blog, I am. What know I of ready? For 19 days, trained young Condowan blogger have I. Promise, he has. Yes, mmm...but thoughts of my own on great Games does the master have. Taking over for my apprentice, I must. He is reckless.
  • The Americans seek more than widsom, they seek gold. Dominance lies in wisdom, and in the pool. A sanctuary it is. The swamp it is not, but it home for Michael Phelps. 8 golds? Forecast was too high, the media, overly critical and pressuring, they are. The boy tries not. He does. And win eight medals, he will. HE WILL.
  • Media on the empty seats, stopped, they must be. Sunday was a day of void and emptiness. Not because the Greeks fill not the seats for lacking interest. A holy day in Greece it was. Feast of the Assumption, it was. The media is held by the dark side. Much evil lies in the trials of cameras and microphones. Crowds will return to the venues, they will...mmm...yes. Proved wrong as seats were full on Monday. To the media, a thought. Mind what you have learned. Save it if you can.
  • Always in motion is the future. Much like the rebound, American basketball is coming back. Shots selection comes without wisdom. Allen Iverson short as an Ewok. But problem is complicated. very. Foreign opponents, shoot about 75% from land of three points, makes task harder. Team is young, foolish. Must unlearn what is already learned. Fundamentals are the key to saving themselves. Gold they will win, against Argentina. mmm...yes.
  • Gymnastics - judge them by their size, do you? Carly Patterson has won gold. And gold she deserves. Condowan's roommate has much hate for Svetlana Khorkina. Ice Queen, she is. Must come from Hoth she does. Dead to the world she is. Even more impressive was Paul Hamm in the men's all-around. Control, he has learned. The rings are even too challenging for Jedi master like myself. That, and Yoda's arms, too short they are. Run right into side of vault, I would. Stick to weight (read:X-wing) lifting, I must.

Hope you enjoyed the guest blogger. He meant you no harm.

Dude, Spud, she's 16!! What's the deal with the underage women these days? Very impressive performance by Carly, however - the Ice Queen never saw it coming. But Paul Hamm in the men's all-around competition was much more exciting coming to the end - if you can fall into the judge's table and are still crowned Olympic Champion, I think that's saying something. But enough on the gymnastics, the first week for me was all about the swimming! Michael Phelps kicks ass.
