A New Show
Last night I watched this show I never saw before. I didn’t catch the
name of it but if I had to venture a guess it must be called the
Michael Phelps Show.
It started off with some people playing some volley ball and there was
like all this foreshadowing going on all along. It was like: “He’s
coming…” “Soon…” “Phelps is coming…”, “Phelps is coming..”
“Soon…”
And then a hush went over the crowd. The Phelps appeared. Some sort of
battle occurred. Some guy wishes he had longer fingernails. Everyone
cheered. The Phelps was victorious. And then as quickly as he appeared he was gone.
The show continued there after that with more swimming, some running,
and all along the commentary continued, “How about that Phelps?” ,
“Did you hear that Phelps won?” “Isn’t Phelps awesome?”
“Oh by the way some people won some gold medals. So how about that Michael Phelps huh? Isn’t he just amazing?”
I didn’t really pay much attention to the rest of the show.
(ASIDE: Believe it or not a week ago I’d never heard the name Michael
Phelps. And I almost never watch sports and never really paid
attention to the Olympics before.)

4 years ago phelps was not reputed to me. 4 years later, now, he is my idol. 4 years before he was 19-year-old bloke, 4 yrs past he is now tempting man with much more guts.
Sorry, who?
I’m not really one for sports but I love watching Team GB win medals in the Olympics. We’re not doing too badly, although we don’t have a Phelps. But we wouldn’t want a Phelps – he’s just greedy. Leave something for others Greedy Phelps!
I have had it up to here with hearing about Phelps. He is the Picabo Street of this year’s olympics. -_-
I give you 5 stars. You are a braver individual than I for speaking out on this Phelps thing.
I haven’t watched the Olympics since the Nancy Kerrigan thing. Shows you how much attention I pay to that crap. lol
I stopped by since purplepixiepoo listed you as one of her Pixie’s Choices. Cool blog! Hope you don’t mind me subbing.
@Celestial_Rose2002 - I suppose the real question is whether you will mind getting the crazy stuff I write in your subscription box. ^_^ Of course I don’t mind. Thank you for your interest. I hope you enjoy reading and that we can become friends. I look forward to interacting with you further on Xanga!
@fullmetalbunny - lol. I’m not so brave. You should have seen what I COULD have written. I was totally holding back. My cynicism can get pretty nasty when it comes to things like this. But I feel a little bad letting it all loose since I really don’t have anything against the guy and I bet he must be more sick of the media circus than anyone. Still I think it’s all a little dumb.
Of course things like this always seem dumb to you until it’s the person YOU’RE a fan of who end up in the spotlight. Then it all seems awesome. I guess that’s human nature.
