Ok, so I’ve been busy lately, but I think I’m finally ready to sit down and watch the Winter Olympics.

I’m looking forward to quite a few things. Maybe Michelle Kwan will finally win that gold medal. Sasha Cohen might give her some compet ition though. She seems pretty sure-footed. I predict big things for her.

I’ve been seeing a lot of that Bode Miller guy. He’s been on the covers of all the magazines, and in all those commercials, so you just know he’s gotta be good. Major corporations wouldn’t put their images on the line over just any old schmo. Don’t hold me to this, but something tells me he could walk out of Italy with five gold medals. He’s just got that certain something. Man just looks like a winner, bottom line.

Of course, there’s the usual things you can just take for granted. You just know Canada will win the gold in hockey, again. How could they not? It’s their sport. They invented it. But I expect the good ol’ USA will give them a run for that medal. We’ve got a real powerhouse team this year. I predict at least a silver. At least.

Yessir, the grand spectacle of the Winter Olympics. I’ve waited four long years for this, and though it’s taken me a little while, I’m finally, finally ready to go. So I’ll just click on NBC and … and …

Closing ceremonies … Huh. What do you know.

Oh, well. See you in 2010.

/..Zero for five, huh? Wow, good job, guy.
