Thoughts on the Olympics

 The coverage of the Olympics is starting to annoy me.


In other Olympic news,China has been lately highly criticized about the opening ceremony.It was a beautiful one and I enjoyed it very much...but things have come out which are not so flattering for the organizers:the impressive fireworks at the end of the ceremony turned out to be fake,so did the little girl who supposedly sang with her beautiful voice.



ETA:OMG.I just found out that the flame lighting in Barcelona(in 1992) was also a fake!An amateur video was shown in local news,two minutes ago,that showed the arrow passing over the bowl and going off the stadium while the flame lit.
Frak,this was my favorite Olympic lighting!Kind of dissappointing...but still impressive.

ETA2:Basketball match between U.S.A. dream-team and Greece has just started.Since the chances of our getting trashed are about 65,38%,should I bother watching??

-Let's start with the serious stuff:Bernie Mac died today,because of complications from pneumonia.He was a gifted comedian figure,and only 50 years-old.I was quite shocked to read about his death.Very,very sad news...
May he rest in peace.




 Well,this was my useless contribution for the day!I'm now off to watch La Femme Nikita,my favorite show of old times...Catch you all later!!

Random quotes

This neighborhood is,for all of us,a cage.
Nobody lives the way he'd want to live...because the DREAM is just one tiny moment.
And all the other moments...DESPAIR.
