First Day!

Well, it's officially the first day of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing China. I'm brimming with excitement to watch the Opening Ceremonies tonight on NBC, even though they have probably already concluded in reality.

It's been 4 years since the last summer games, and 2 and a half years since the last Olympics. Since the new format was instituted in the early 90s, 2 and a half years is now the longest that we ever wait for an Olympics.

I don't know what it is about the Olympics, but it definitely seems to bring some of the best out in the world. It's almost addicting in some respects, as I find myself endlessly glued to the TV watching sports that I would otherwise not care about in the least respect.

I'm very excited about the next couple of weeks!! Here's to a great Olympics!
