Did you people watch the opening ceremonies tonight? If not, I've included some pictures. If you did, I hope you can join me in saying, "What the Fuck?!?!?!?" Who the hell choreographed this thing? There was fire, yellow people with head lights, skaters shooting fire from their backs, all around weirdness - and who can forget the gymnast striking the anvil?!
It reminded me of some sort of performance art that I didn't understand. The theme for the opening ceremonies was Passion, which is cool in itself, but I think the choreographers got it all wrong. I see Passion much differently. It doesn't take strange performance art to get Passion across to me. But that's just me. Maybe I'm just not cool enough to get it. Oh well.
I do get excited about the Olympics, the opening ceremonies notwithstanding. I love the figure skating and all of the snow stuff. I'm excited about the snowboarding this year and the ladies hockey. There is a speed skater, Chad Hedrick, who played hockey with Sam when they were kids. We'll definitely watch him, hopefully he'll bring home the gold.
So we're watching all of the athletes walking in, alphabetically. What strikes me as especially weird is the 80's pop music playing in the background, 80's American pop music. We're in Italy people, play something Italian, you can do that! And what kills me is the dresses that the, oh hell, what do you call them - um, the ladies bearing the name of the countries behind them. The dresses that look like the Alps, complete with little skiers.
Crazy shit! Oh well, Go USA. U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A!!! Let's bring home some medals!
