The Body

Well it's time for the olympics again. As for not liking sporting events, I'm a big fan of the olympics. I suppose because they aren't as boring as things like american football (if you can't tell not a huge fan) I suppoes part of it is I tend to think that the US started to go downhill when it stopped trying to copy Europe. Sure some things are better, but I prefer European tradition to a lot of Americana.But definitly I prefer the olympics and the world cup to baseball and the superbowl. Maybe just because there is more action in those sports, I get bored in american football and baseball.

But really just watching the olympics, it is amazing the things the body can do. They're amazing machines. I don't know how god, or allah, or buddha, made us like this. It's a very strange thing to think about how much our bodies can do and in how many ways we could all be so screwed up, and yet somehow we've managed to be these perfect machines. I suppose I've had sort of a weird sense of elation these past couple days, it's not normal for me, but I am a fan. I have just been so...joyous and grateful and I suppose there aren't much better ways to be.
