After choreographing for a while, I decided to take a break and went downstairs to watch the Olympics. What happened to be on? Well, first it was the legendary American snowboarder Shaun White, the guy with the long, wavy red hair, as well as some crazy mad tricks when it comes to snowboarding. On the Half Pipe, he was taking his victory lap, and at the end he did this insane trick....I don't remember but they called it, but essentially he made 3 rotations and 2 twists in the air before gliding back down. Let me repeat that: 3 rotations and 2 twists. Who does that? I think he's the only one. Of course, being the Gwen-jo that I am, it made me really want to try snowboarding. Technically I've wanted to try this for a really really long time, but I come from a non-athletic family and have never really had the opportunity to go (FYI, this is me asking in a not-so-subtle manner to be taken snowboarding. Come on guys. Someone. Anyone?)
All of these Olympians are just so epically awesome....the feats they do just make you go "wow." Like Lindsey Vonn winning the Gold in women's Downhill skiing today, with an injury might I add! I'm sure that doctors all over the country (and the world for that matter) are shaking their heads at the medical stupidity of it, but she won. She accomplished her dream.
That's probably why we love watching the Olympics so much--we're inspired. I mean, how can you not be inspired by the pure awesomeness? And as we all know, "there is no charge for awesomeness, or attractiveness." So while I may never be anywhere near Shaun White when it comes to snowboarding, seeing as I haven't started yet, I am still inspired to become the bestest snowboarder I can be.
your quite adorable. I think you'll be the bestest snowboarder ever. We should go...i have only been once. And I too have been inspired. I want to be ripped. :)
